MAINTENANCE OF EARTH ROAD
Same Principles Of Drainage Apply to
Clay Rosds-keep Pipe Line and
bitches open.

The same principles Of drainage as
apply 20 the earth roads should apply
10 the sand-ciay roads. The sand-clay
roads are usually located by an engi-
ncer before they are built. and In this
event they are constructed on a grade
and with proper provisions for drain
age. II remains for the maintenance
force 10 see that the pipe lines and
bitches are kept open. The surface OF
the sand-clay road requires continual
attention and Il should be dragged az
ter every rain or wet spell; II should
not be allowed to deterlorate and blow
away.
As this class Of roads Is more expen-
sive than the earth roads are. so is
their maintenance more expensive. but.
on the other hand. the service that
they give is much more satisfactory
than that OF the earth roads. The
communities through which they run
are usually more enlightened and pro-
gressive than those on the earth roads,
and therefore are more able and will
ing to bear the maintenance cost.

NO CREDENTIALS.

This incident is a gift from a
young friend of the Washington
Star.
Two small girls were doing their
bit for the Red Cross by selling
candy to the clerks in one of the big
Office buildings. Being well patron
lied by the workers in one Of the
rooms, the children decided to APP
proach the chief Of the division. He
heard their appeal, and with a
twinkle in his eve asked if they had
brought any credentials. The little
girls looked at each other and then
at the chief.
'1'm sorry" said one of them,
"but we only have caramels."
Whereupon the chief decided that
caramels were good enough and pur-
chased the stock. The little girls
thanked him deeply and promised
that they would be sure to have some
credentials next time.

Possibility That Art Of Letter Writing
VIII BE Aided Through mIssIves
Sent 70 soIdiers-

Another flower we hope TO see
blossom from the ugly root Of war is
renaissance OF the art Of letter
writing, remarks the Omaha Bee.
The boys in the PARKWAY trenches
will be pardoned all the crudities
and abruptness OF letters written I'M
der high pressure amidst untoward
surroundings, but those at home who
write to them should give their mis-
sives enough care and attention to
make them readable and expressive
as well as international.
The gentle art Of letter writing,
once a much-prized accomplishment,
has not been greatly cultivated Of
late, regrettably be il said, and, al
though the level Of literacy has risen
so that very few are nowadays un-
able to read and write, the inter-
change Of the average social CORE
spondence constitutes not only a lin
guistic atrocity, but is also a refec-
ton upon the ability of the writer's
to give Ineligible utterance to their
thoughts. There is no good reason
why letter should not be a delight
to read as well as a welcome remind
er Of the sender. One Of the best
tests Of a letter is that il bear read
ing and rereading over and over
again, and IL the writer will apply
this test before mailing the letter
standard will be perceptibly inn
proved.s

CARLOAD OF COAL
IS CARRIED AWAY
About so Tons of Anthracite
Disappear From Enola
Yards Sunday Night

Enola, Pa, Jan. 22.-Officials of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
in charge of the freight yards are
puzzled over the loss of a carload of
hard coal, which was emptied Sun
day night while the car was stand
ing in the east end. classification
yards, consigned to an eastern city.
1t is the belief of the officials that
persons who are suffering from a
coal shortage confiscated the fuel.
1t is estimated by the yard officials
that the people took about fifty tons
OF coal, which is the average capacity
of a car.
The fuel situation in this vicinity is
growing worse instead of better.
Shipments of coal received in local
yards is slightly below that of last
month, which was about 1900 tons
below the normal demand. Only
one car has been received since last
Saturday. In many homes soft coal
is being used as fuel. Employees of
the yard are carrying coal, both
hard and soft, to their homes to keen
from freezing. The coal is picked
from the ground after 1t is knock
ed from the cars.
BY closing of the public schools
yesterday a slight amount of coal
was saved by banking the fires. In
all the schools of the district small
reserves of coal are on hand, al
though school directors believe they
will be able to keep open except on
the Monday holidays.
