ROAD BUILDING HINTS GIVEN
Military Attaches With Former Pre-
mier Balfour Of England, I'm
part information.

Some interesting information re.
garding military road building was CIV
en- to the United States when the Eng
fish mission headed by Former Pre-
mier Balfour arrived in New York.
Military attaches told how the armies
of France and Great Britain rebuilt
roads in France and Belgium.
English military engineers recently
have made experiments demonstrating
that it is possible and desirable to
build the highest types of road sur
faces for the temporary or emergency
movement of artillery and supplies.
Roads built with asphalt sent from
England have been constructed in the
rear of the Franco-Belgian front.
Roads so improved gave better serv-
ice than any type attempted under the
swift and heavy movement necessi-
tated by the artillery action which
precedes infantry attacks. 1t was
observed that motortrucks and gun
carriages suffered no injury in move
ment over these hastily constructed
pavements, while frequent breakdowns
were experienced when road building
was not attempted.
Following those experiments mis-
sion, including officers of the British
and French engineer corps, looked
over the pavements in the environs
of Paris built in the last three or four
years. Among other roads inspected
was the asphalt pavement laid on the
| road to Versailles. which has been
carrying heavy military traffic ever
since the war started. AS a result
| of these experiments and investiga-
| tons it has been decided, wherever
possible, to construct similar surfaces
| for the movement of military traffic
| in regions where roads have been de-
| strOyed or where they may be made
necessary by battle plans.

BUILDING GOOD EARTH ROADS
Can Be Constructed at Low Cost, but
They Require Constant and Costly
Attention.

Good earth roads can be constructed
at very low cost; however, they re-
quire constant maintenance, which may
be expensive where the travel is heavy.
A Well-built and properly maintained
earth road will serve some sections as
well as the most expensive types of
hard-surfaced roads will serve other
sections. Where this fact is realized
more attention will be paid to earth
roads, and the money spent on them
will not be regarded as lost.

The Pneumonia Season

The cold. damp weather Of March
seems to be the most favorable for
the pneumonia germ. Now is the
time to be careful. Pneumonia
often results from a cold. The
quicker a cold is gotten rid of the
less the danger. AS soon as the
first indication of cold appears
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
AS to the value of this preparation,
ask anyone who has used it.-Adv.

some eight minor leaguers.

\ witty St. Louis writer says that
Connie made this suggestion because
of his inability to provide any more
stars for needy clubs. And there is
some basis for this comment.
Connie sold to Charlie Comiskey
one Edward Trowbridge Collins for
$50. 900. He parted with one ]. Frank
lin Baker to the Yankees for $4,000.
He sent one John Barry to Boston in
exchange for $4,000. He sold other
players. punches Of them, for cold.
hard dollars.
In the last four years the Athletics
wizard leader has taken in small
fortune in exchange for baseball play
ers. And if in the future any man
ager is willing TO smash up a star

players. he will undoubtedly find
buyers. II may not happen next year.

A direct wire from the press
stand carried a neat play-by-
