OUR HIGHWAY PROBLEM.
An Ohio ltoa In Construction of Per-
manent Country Roads.

An Ohio lcoa In Construction of Per-
manent Country Roads.
The economic reaction of automobile
development is obviously in better
roads. says the Wall Street Journal.
But the tremendous waste of funds,
long in progress through unsOund high
way engineering or through lack of en-
| cheering advice, tends to perpetuate
an era of excessive costs of mainte
nance and relatively little proportion
ately in the way of permanent results.
Standardized methods of road con
struction and standard system of
classifying highways are needed. No
system of classifying highways is bet
ter than that of traffic density. 1t is
highly desirable that careful counts
should be instituted 10y state highway
officials to determine the present main
routes of travel. Just as in railroad
evolution, density of traffic determines
| the amount of investment, so highways
should be classified on the basis Of
| density of traffic into trunk lines, main
lines and feeders.
In railroading light traffic is han
died by a single line of track with.
switches: main line traffic is handled
by double tracks. Trunk lines handling
heavy traffic are sometimes four track
ed. six tracked and even eight tracked.
The solution reached in the con,
struction of permanent country roads
around Cleveland is instructive. 1t is
similar to the solution followed in rail-
way evolution. The right of way for
the highway lies between two fences
sixty feet, more or less, apart. Econ
omy is obtained by building the per-
manent highway One-half as wide
leaving the balance of the dirt road
for the present as before.
In raiIroading It is an axiom that.
the capacity of n single track OF rail
way with sufficient switches and uni
form speed of trains is practically I'M
limited In Cuyahoga county, o.. hun
dreds Of miles Of permanent country
roads of narrow widths are being
built, using a special type of brick
which is produced cheaply in that To-
cality for the surface, set upon cement
foundations. Future generations may
widen these country auto tracks If
they so desire. but they will act more
wisely if they invest the money in an
equal number of miles of new narrow
roads Of permanent construction TO act
as feeders.
A twelve foot permanent road is
passable summer and winter for the
harvest loads. The dirt road lies to
one side of the new trackway just as
before. The country needs thousands
of miles of narrow roads of permanent
intersecting as feeders
with the wider main lines and truck
lines. Such feeders need not be wider
than twelve feet. The advantages are
plain. Not only are such roads pass
able summer, fall, winter and spring
for the harvest loads. but they are
also permanent.
And, above all. they are a state and
undertaking and not a sub
feet for federal endowment.

Who made the first umbrella and
where was it used?
No one knows who made the first

Umbrellas seem to lave been known as
far back as the days of Nineveh and
Persepolis, for representations Of them
appear frequently in the sculptures of
those early days. The women of an
cient Rome and Greece carried them,
but the men did not. Mr.. Hanway is
said to be the first man who walked
the streets of London with an open
umbrella over his head to keep off the
rain. He was much ridiculed and is
said to have used 1t for thirty years
before umbrellas came into general use
for this purpose.

How to Sew on Buttons SO That The,
VIII Stay.

Will Stay.
Take small stitch. bringing the
knot on the right side. Run up
through one hole of the button and
draw it down just over the knot. Lay
a pin across the button and work the
stitches over the pin. When the but
ton is firmly sewed on remove the pin.
Pull the button out from the mate
rial and wind the thread around the
threads between the button and cloth
several times to form shank. Pass
the needle through TO the wrong side
and fasten the thread with several
small stitches.
The shank formed makes buttoning
easier and lessons the strain on the
cloth. The knot Is brought up on the
right side and under the button to
keep it from being worn off.

Mrs. Jacob Ensch, Born and
Brought up in Alsace-Lor-
raine, Glad to Give Two
Sons to Fight Ancient En-
envy Of France.

While the men who will soon wear
the khaki in the cause of democracy
are passing through this city en- route
tt the training camp, there is passing
here in the city and in the county of
Grand Forks a tragedy which is only
marked by the course of a tear which
cannot be restrained, or eyes that
show the traces Of the grief Of part
ing with their loved ones on the part
of brave women. The bravery and the
high-hearted way in which these
women are sending their sons, their
husbands, their brothers and their
sweethearts off to fight that the
world may be made safe for democ-
this great national offering for the
cause Of world freedom.
The men are fine specimens of the
%country's best manhood, and the wom-
en- who are giving them to their
try SO cheerfully are justified in the
pride Of their gift. But for the men
it will not be such a sacrifice. They go
to the stirring scenes where the ex-
citement will always carry them over
women? Only those whose men have
already gone can fully sympathize
with these ONE tonight. Theirs is
the heaviest burden, and theirs is the
greatest sacrifice for they must return
to their homes, they must hang away
that empty coat, they must set aside
those shoes that will be replaced now
by army shoes, they must set the table
for one less than the usual number,
and as they do it those mothers will
be wondering what their boys are get
ting to eat. There is little use in
enumerating further, for every woman
understands.
But Of all this there is only a hint
in 1today's proceedings. The women
are keeping cheerful so that the bows
may go with a smile.
In the number of the patriot women
who are gathered here today there is
a mother Mrs. Jacob Ensch, who was
born and brought up in Alsace-Lor-
raine. She is one Of the most high
hearted patriots Of them all. She
knows better than any Of the others
what this war means on both sides
or the water, for she is fully aware
OF what Prussian militarism means,
Her son is going and she is glad and
willing that he should go. Perhaps he
will help to free his mothers native
land, and the boy reflects the high
courage of his mother. His younger
sisters are very proud Of their big sol
der brother.
Another mother from Pilot, North
Dakota, is giving her three sons to
Uncle Sans army. One son enlisted,
another was drafted in Montana, and
the third SON goes today in this quota,
She is a woman Of noble courage, and
worthy Of her brave sons. She is Mrs,
Chris Bang.
There are many other women from
out over the country who are here to-
day, and among them all the dominan,
note is n of cheerful sacrifice. It is
the spirit that characterizes Ameri-
can womanhood in this great world
crisis.
