General March
 Plans for 1919

A LTHoUGH many bankers and 1sA military observers have been expressing the opinion freely for sev- |eral months past that the war would end in 1919, the government continues to provide for at least three years longer. This is a wise policy, of course. It may not be possible to win the war in another twelve or eighteen months. At any rate it were better to be overprepared than to fall short either in man power, food supplies or military equipment.
 But General March insists upon a maximum effort to end the world struggle quickly and decisively." To delay this effort would be, as he has pointed out, only playing "Germany's game" And President Wilson is in thorough accord with General March's view.
 The chief of staff told the House military committee yesterday that leighty American divisions of forty Hive thousand men each-nearly four million troops-should be able to bring the war to successful conclu- sion in 1919. He is determined, with the aid of Mir. Schwab, in charge of the shipbuilding programme, to have eighty divisions in France by June, 30.
 General March was frank with the committee. "We will need every single man in class one between eighteen and forty-five," he said. "We must not delude ourselves with the idea that those in the 13-19 mems call are going to be deferred any length of time. They will have to be called early next spring in order to get their training in time to go to France" This may cause a change in the plans of the colleges to offer boys of eighteen a three-year course in military training along with an academic education, based on the sup position that no men called to the colors under the pending bill reducing the minimum draft age to eighteen would be sent to France until they had attained their majority.
 Maximum effort is all essential. The demand for man power is im- perative. A fixed purpose on the part of the administration to end the war next year will not only raise the morale of the army and inspire the civilian world with renewed confidence in the powers that be-" but it will have a telling psychological effect on the allies and the neutrals as well.

Color of shoes Limited

T notice the new government ruling in regard to the limiting of the color of leather to be used for shoes,' said J. D. Collins, the well-known shoe dealer, and I am in hearty accord with it.
 Black. tans and white are amply suf- ficient for all requirements. These are war times and there ought to be a proper curtailment in the making of fancy shoes in all colors, when the labor is needed in essential industries"

A QUICK CURE.

NOW doth the busy city man A short vacation take. The country is so strangely still. All night he lies awake And finding days of idleness
 A hardship and a bore, With Joyous heart he hastens back To hear the city's roar.

What They All Say

Raising fine cattle beats answer ing fire alarms" said Thad Mullin, former chief of the Birmingham fire department. T have one of the finest herds of registered Jerseys in the state on my farm IS miles north of Birming- ham. and they are good revenue pro- ducers. I keep my house in Birming- ham open, but spend most of the time in the country, where I enjoy working with the cattle and looking after things on the farm.
 After my long service with the fire department, enjoy the est and quiet Of the farm, and l have to come back to the city occasionally to see and hear what is going on."

BUILDING
SAFETY FACTOR IN CONCRETE
Aid Traveller at Night to Keep Road
and Glaring Reflections Of Sur.
face Are Missing.

Any hard road is good, any perma-
aent type-concrete, brick. asphaltum
is better. Each individual advocate
has his own favorable argument, so
the concrete man says, with good
deal Of truth, that mot only do con-
crete roads harmonize with natural
Surroundings, and blend with objects
In the landscape, but their light -cOlOrcd
surfaces aid the traveller at night to
keep to the road. Since the top of
concrete pavement presents a sandy
and gritty surface, there are no glar-
ing reflections of sunlight nor mirror
like effects, as are found with many
other types of surfaces when worn
smooth or when wet.
'Dark-cOlOred roads, merging into
the grass and foliage at the roadside
at night, are indistinct, and there Is a
likelihood of accidents at curves,
whereas the light-colOred surface is
distinct from the sides of the road.
Under motor traffic the concrete road
way offers an element of safety, as no
matter how dark the night the clean,
firm. light, nonskid surface is clearly
defined to view."

Efficient Road DRAG.

dimensions exactly feet back of the
front diagonal plank. Be sure to make
an opening in the runners on the left
side, Immediately in front of each
diagonal plank, the opening to be about
8 inches high and "a inches long. In
order to make the drag solid and we'll
braced run a by II inch plank dag
onally across the top, opposite the
planks which serve US a drag.
Have an iron shoe about one-quarter
inch thick and 8 inches wide on the
front Of the two dragging planks, the
bottom Of the iron shoe to be one-half
inch below the runner on the right
side and exactly even with the runner
on the left side.
Large holes should be bored in
front ends Of the runners in which
to attach the rope or chain to pull the
drag. It is well to hitch the horses as
close as possible. The total weight Of
the drag. under these specifications. is
about 200 pounds and an ordinary team
can pull 1t on a dirt road, with heavy
man on, with less effort than any other
drag of the same dimensions on the
market and 1t will be found that this
road leveler viii do far better work
than a split-log or metal drag.
