THE TWENTY CENT ROAD TAX.

A careful survey of the road con-
ditiOns in Kentucky reveals q SAD
lack of revenue for meeting the
present prices of labor and material,
needed for the proper construction
and maintenance of modern roads.
even in the rich counties that are
efficient and economical with their
road funds.
All county authorities are con-
fronted with virtually the same road
problems. Most are building a few
miles of good roads by neglecting
the maintenance Of many others,
"robbing Peter and paying Paul,
while slowly but surely our roads
as system are deteriorating under
the strain of modern traffic for the
lack of revenue.
The 20 per cent. Road Tax pro-
vided by the last Legislature as an
addition to the present road levy
should be voted as a solution. 1t
will virtually double the revenue,
with no financial burden to anyone.
1t is far superior to any bond is

SIX MACHINE GUNS FIRED BY
SINGLE OPERATOR,

To increase the deadliness of the
machine gun, an American inventor
has come to the fore with an appa-
ratus that enables from two to six OF
the weapons to be handled by one
opertor and two assistants. The
rifles can be fired separately, in
groups, or simultaneously, as condi-
tions dictate. They are mounted in
ia a rack and CONT oiled by different
devices that regulate their respective
elevations, ranges, and rates of fire.
With the contrivance it is possible
for one gunner to sweep six targets
of varying ranges at the same time,
or concentrate the whole fury of the
battery upon one of them. The
mechanism is shown in detail in the
April Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Mans Creative Force.

to let himself be ruled by them. Life

this fortuitous mass, he can combine.
With the greatest economy. suitable.
ness, and durability, some form. the

nay. may ID, All things within
us - are mere elements; but deep In
the inmost shrine of our nature lies
the creative force, which out of these
can produce what they were meant
10 be, and which leaves us neither
sleep nor rest, till In one way or an
other, Without us or within us. this
product has taken shape.-Goethe.

malady, Brights disease. for which there
