CAUSE OF MUDDY HIGHWAYS
water Which Flows From Fields to
Roads Is Expensive to Public
Forbidden by Statute.

Muddy roads due to water which
llows over the surface of land along
highway into the side bitches are
expensive to the public. No railroad
VIII tolerate wet roadbed longer
than Is necessary to carry out the
drainage work to dry the earth. But
persons whose convenience depends in
no small measure on the roads passing
by their property rarely do anything
to check the injury they are working
TO themselves and their neighbors in
the manner mentioned.
The Colorado highway commission
has called attention to statute which
makes 1t misdemeanor in that state
to allow water to flow on road and
has issued the following notice on the
subject: "From the fields along high
way the waste or excess water is al
lowed to run directly to the road
ditch, and If, as is often the case, the
road ditch is obstructed, this water
gets over the road, making Il muddy
road, which under the traffic soon be-
comes impossible. This can be pre-
vented by running a ditch, (a single
furrow may answer) along the fence
line and discharging the water into Il
road culvert ut point where it will
drain away. This condition also en-
Dhasizcs the necessity Of keeping all
the road culverts open and ready to
carry water"

WATER CARRIED TO DIrcHEs
This Can Be Done by Giving Proper
Grown or Crose slope to Road
Sofia Differ.

Water falling on the road should be
carried to the side bitches by giving
n proper crown or cross slope to the
road. Make your road to shed water
The slope should vary with different
soils. For n loamy soil crown Of
about one inch per foot is considered
proper; on clay soil an inch and a
half to two inches. The side slopes Of
bitches should be much greater The
longitudinal slope or grade will also
somewhat determine the crown. On
steep grade it is necessary to give
greater crown to keep the water
from running down the Travelled road
way and washing gullies.

Jade in Wide Use.

In Burma, which is the present
source of jadeite, 1t is mined in conSid-
cradle quantities to meet the Chinese
demand. Mineralogists say that 1t is
notably harder than nephrite, and
ranges in specific gravity from 3.2O to
$40, whereas the average for nephrite
Is but 2.95. Nephrite is cut into vases,
cigarette cases, cigar boxes, candle
sticks, portrait frames and other art
objects. The rich green color and
transluccncy make it peculiarly appro-
pirate for such uses. Jade has been
found In Alaska about $50 miles up
from the mouth of the Kowsk river.

OrIuIn Of "MachlavelIlan."

A favOrite epithet for centuries, the
word "Machiavelllan." has seen tire
less service since the beginning Of the
hurled at rulers who are accused of
being treacherous and dlshonorable.
The adjective is derived from the name
of Niccolo Machlnvelli Of Florence,
Italy, who died in 1927.
Machiavelli. famous as an author,
wrote book, 1.-THE Prince" In an en-
deavor TO prove that, for the estab-
lishment and maintenance OF govern
ment. any means might be resorted to,
no matter how treacherous. unlawful
or dishonorable. The ruler would be
justified In using these forces. the nu-
thor argued, because he would only
be pitting them against similar traits
OF wlckedness and treachery in his
people.
Machievelh was friend of popular
government, and for several centuries
there were few who argued that
"The Prince" did not truly represent
his principles, but In reality was a
satire on rule by despots. The dispute
was set at rest In 1870 however by
the discovery of letter written by
Machiavelli. The author said he wrote
