BENEFITS OF CONCRETE ROAD

Concrete roads are country boule.
wards They benefit a community In
making travel quick. safe, easy, clean
and comfortable. They extend neigh
borhood limits, bring more people into
personal touch with each other. In
crease social opportunities and there
by remove the monotony of isolation |;
bring greater content to the youth on
the farm, make city and country near
neighbors and increase school attend
ance, thus cultivating a desire for a
broader knowledge and higher stand
ards Of living.
Concrete roads make daily rural mail

community Is put on the news wire
with the political. financial, Industrial
and trading centers of the earth. The
best thought of the world In every line
Of human effort and human achieve
ment Is transmitted overnight to the
breakfast table of the community
served by a network of concrete roads.
A concrete road saves more than 1t
costs. 1t Is open to maximum traffic
all the year round. 1t brings greater
freedom and ease Of movement In

NEW USES FOR SALOON BUILD
INGS IN WASHINGTON, D. C.

The board of temperance of the
Methodist Episcopal church sent out
men from it's research department to
make u careful survey Of the former
saloon properties in the territory
bounded by Pennsylvania avenue
south, U street north, North Capitol
street east, and Seventeenth street
west, all in the northwest section of
the city.
OF the $50 saloons, barrooms, ho-
tells, breweries and former wholesale
liquor houses, it was found that 80
were occupied by some legitimate in
dustry. Twenty-seven were being used
as cafes, oyster houses, restaurants or
lunch rooms; number were devoted
to soft drinks. Nine were supplying
the public with groceries. Other
places were being used as warehouses,
shoe stores, furniture stores, business
offices, automobile supply houses, bar
Der shops and places of amusement
Only SO of these $50 properties were
for rent. Quite number were being
remodeled for occupancy.
The old Half Mile Track" saloon,
which featured itself as the place
where Booth got his last drink before
shooting Abraham Lincoln, was being
converted into furniture store.

BY M. QUAD.


For several days have observed a
spirit of restlessness about Mr.. Bow
ser. and had made up my mind that
he was longing for trip out into the
country. In his conversations he spoke
Of the chestnuts and acorns; he men,
toned the rabbit; he spoke Of the fall
apple, and so knew that he would
take day Off soon and refresh his
boyhood memories.
Mr.. Bowser came down to break
fast one morning prepared for a jaunt
and he said to me:
II think I will take little trip out
into the country today. I want to
saunter around and see farm scenes.
/ want to pick up the great brown
chestnuts under the trees. I want to
pick the golden pippin right Off the
apple tree. / want to buy quart of
buttermilk Of some farmer and drink
1t down without stopping to breathe.
1t seems as If 1t would almost make me
over to spend the day out In the coun-
try"
There's nothing to hinder You from
going" 1 replied. "In fact, I want you

SPRING CARE or HIGHWAYS
Go Over Road With Grader to Clean
Out Ditches-FilI All Ruts
With New Material.

Every spring before the ground be-
comes too hard the road should be
thoroughly gone over with a grader to
clean out the bitches, so that the water
may have free outlet. The ruts and
holes should be filed, elevations In the
road and shoulders on the side of the
road planned Off, the grade improved,
and the road put In good condition.
Earth roads have pronounced tend
ency to rut. When ruts begin to APP
pear on the surface great care should
be used In selecting new material, with
which they should be filed Immediate
ly. One fundamental principle that is
Of special Importance In the repair
Of any road Is that whatever material
Is used In the construction Of the sur
face, the same material-and no other
should be used in Its repair. A good
road with surface Of clay should be
repaired by using clay, a gravel road
with gravel and surface Of limestone
with limestone.

ering the surface Of the ground with
an impermeable crust, cover or coat
Ing, so that water would not penetrate
to the soil beneath. A road thus
''macadamized" was found to yield less
easily to weights pressing upon 1t, and
could not be broken up by the action
of frost. But while the inventors fame
spread his resources dwindled, and
though made surveyor general of roads,
he had to depend for his recompense
on parliamentary grant. McAdam
was road repairer rather than a road
builder, but his system went all over
the world.

to go. for you look little weary. Will
you bring home some chestnuts and
apples?"
'You bet your life, and don't for
get to let me take basket along.
Maybe will gather some mushrooms,
also. AT any rate, / will make day
of 1t and come home feeling as frisky
as darling colt"
"You will telephone If anything hap
pens to you? Most of the farmers
have telephones"
"Oh. nothing will happen to tele-
phone about. 1t will be very quiet
day with me-"
In half an hour Mr.. Bowser was
off. carrying market basket on his
arm. He was as pleased as boy
on his way to circus.
1t was about two o'clock in the after
noon when the telephone rang me up
and a strange voice asked:
us this Mrs. BowserT
EYES,"
''Mrs. Samuel Bowser?'
Eyes. that is correct. Who are you,
please?"
my name is Ballard, and I'm q
farmer about ten miles from the city
on the old Boston road. Can't you
take the trolley car, which runs right
by my door. and come out here"
but why should come out there?"
/ asked, a chill of fear coming over
me.
Because there's short, fat, bald
headed man here who says he's Sam
uel Bowser, your husband. He isn't
dead. so you needn't be alarmed. He
has simply met with an incident and
maybe you will have to stay for day
or two, but I'll make 1t as pleasant as
/ can. Mr.. Bowser sent you his love
and thinks you'd better come out"
do you mean that an accident has
happened to Mr.. Bowser?" l asked.
"Well, you might call it an accident,
but call 1t an incident. An accident
is where you cut your foot with the
ak, but Mr.. Bowser hasn't cut his foot.
An accident Is when you fall out Of a
tree and break both legs, and Mr.. Bow
ser has had no fall and no broken
legs. You had better put on your bon
net and come out"
1 tried hard to get the farmer to tell
me just what had happened, but he
seemed to have good reasons for hold
ing back the truth. This increased my
fears, of course, and I soon got ready
for trip. All the way out to Farmer
Billiards. I was SO pale and nervous
that all the passengers on the car mo-
ticed me. and three or four women
came over to me and said they hoped
that nothing serious had occurred. The

MADAM WAS ROAD REPAIRER
He Originated Method Of Covering Sur
face Of Ground With lmpermeable
Crust or Covering.

Just 200 years ago was born ''the
first Of the pioneers who took up the
work of scientific road building" John
Metcalf showed how to carry solid
highways across difficult boys, and
Thomas Telford built his roads, topped
with gravel, on a solid foundation of
stone blocks. But the great reform Of
the art came In with John Louden Nc
Adam, who travelled 10000 miles over
the English and Scottish roads to study
the conditions and needs for himself.
Bestowing a new word on the lam
guage, he originated the method of COW
