One chief source of road deteriora-
ton is the tendency of traffic to fol-
low constant line OF travel, which
wears and deprcsscs the road crown
along this line of continuous use. The
entire road surface, including the
shoulders, at least in dry weather,
should be used with the view of avoid
ing as much as possible this objec-
tionable propensity. Thus will our
roads wear evenly, prevent to great
extent the inclination to drop in holes
or ruts, which ohstruct proper drain
age and cause water to soak into the
road, greatly to its injury. We are al
aware how important and expensive
feature is the maintenance of our
good roads; let us apply willingly,
therefore, since it is to our interest. If
for no other reason, one of the RENE
dies for their economical use.
Respectfully,
&. A. MARTIN,
County Road Engineer.

TO COME HOME.

Paris, Nov. 23.-The American
naval establishments in European
ports and waters is being reduced
rapidly since the armistice. 1t is in
tended to order home soon all small
craft, destroyers, and submarine
used principally as conveys, except
for limited number for patrol and
escort duty.
The American naval base at Brest
however, will not be Abandoned, but
will be used as repair station. The
general installations there will be en-
larger somewhat to take care of the
steady stream of transports which
will carry the American troops back
to their homes.
Other naval branches along the
coast, including balloon and alrplane
sheds and branch repair plants, nc
longer are required, and a consider
able part of the naval personnel al
ready has started homeward.
