ITEMS OF HIGHWAY EXPENSE
Interest on Investment and Cost Of
Maintenance All Have Vital Bear.
Ing on Road Plans.

The following is quoted from an ar.
ticle by B. H. Plepmeier, maintenance
engineer, highway department. state
of Illinois:
There are three principal items Of
expense connected with road improve
ment which the engineer must impress
upon the public mind before it will be
possible for him to construct ar
omical system Of roads. These factors
are: The original cost of the improve
ment; the interest on the money in
vested In the Improvement, and the to-
tai upkeep cost. When all of these
factors are taken into consideration, 1t
Is evident that many Of the cheaper
types of roads, when properly main
tanned, will give the desired service
and yet will be much more economical
on account Of their low first cost.
"When a type Of road Is selected,
taking into consideration the three
principles set forth above, it is very
essential that provision be made for
proper and efficient maintenance. II
local conditions are such that mainte-
nance may be delayed or prevented,
preference should be given to a type
Of pavement that requires only a small
amount of maintenance and which will
be serviceable for a period of time
even with no maintenance whatever.

(By e. B. HOUSE. Colorado Agricultural
College. Fort Collins. Colo.)
, Excessive loads placed on wagons
with narrow tires are exceptionally
bad for any road. Tractors using
wheels upon which are cleats. or any
thing that will cut through or injure
the road surface should never be al
lowed on country roads. Disk har-
rows and In fact any c%ultivating tool
should be kept of the road. II 1t
Is necessary to move them along the
road, place them upon a drag. stone
boat, or haul them to the field on a
wagon. If dragged over the road,
they will scar the road badly, break
through the surface and start dlsin-
tegratlon. No road Is In such poor
condition as to warrant abuse Of this
kind.

wouldn't be discovered and make any
bother, and went off as fast as 1 could
n the night, wearing another sort of
cap which I found in the overcOat
pocket.
Naturally I never thought there'd
be such a fuss.
Il thought everything was coming
out all right till last night, when 1
tumbled across you at that inn, recOg-
nized you by your pictures as the
bloodhound on my track and thought
you recognized me. I wouldn't ever
wait for my chauffeur. I made up my
mind he would go on to Dover anyway.
and meant to wire him at the garage,
where he was pretty sure to see my
car. But this morning, when 1 learned
In the paper that In spite of all 1

was up, and If I didn't want to be ar

to you and confess myself an ass.

Fortescue started. "Why do you sug-

Because" But the screen did not
give Christopher time to finish. 1t fell
with a crash and a beautiful young
woman ran out from behind 1t.
"Oh, you darling boy?' she ex-
claimed. "If you are going to Canada,
take me with you"
That is the reason why the mystery
the blue motor car has been a mys-
terry until now, why the editor and
readers Of the Daily Recorder do not
think rs highly of the detective
Of Christopher Race as they
at first, and why a large and mag
niicent yellow Ressler was sold at
Dover a marvellous bargain.

American doctor named Guthrie and
by a French physician named Sou

Simpson who proved its great value
as an anesthetic, and the room in
which he made his first experiment

The story goes that he tried the
chloroform on himself and two medi-
cal friends. They proved its efficacy
BY simultaneously falling beneath the
table. Sir James had considerable

the early fall he noticed the alfalfa
