New York, May 25.--Bringing an
nouncemcnt of the abandonment Of
Brest and ST. NaZaire as embarkation

an interest in the public schools to ii

Practically all the revenue available

As a result Of the abnormal high

ties Of life, wages have increased in
nearly every line of cndcaror.

Plan to Make Safe Grade
Crossings and Curves for
Vehicles and Occupants

To abolish the danger of grade
crossings without abolishing the cross
ing, is the object of the road commits
siOner of one Of the Southern states.
He suggests a strip of road running
for about 100 yards alongside the rail-
way track and joined to the highway
by broad curve, well banked, so that
driver, on approaching the tracks
and suddenly becoming aware of an
oncoming train, could swerve to the
right and avoid a smash.
Another road Improvement has been
put into effect in some parts Of Cali
fOrnia where the roads climb steep
hills in long ziz-zags. At the sharp
angles where the Zig-zags meet,
large circles Of road have been cut,
outside the angle, so that car COM
ing down the mountains at high speed
can swing around the circle and pro-
coed on it's downward path without
the danger of making a sharp turn.
A car coming up the mountain makes
q similar swing around and thus avoids
the strain on it's steering gear involved
in making a turn at an acute angle
when it's engine is already strained
to the uttermost.

BOOST GOOD ROADS PROGRAM
American Automobile Association VIII
Seek to Help Development
of Highways.

National, state and county highway
lines will be emphasized in a greater
degree than ever before by the Amer
lean Automobile association, an
nounces George G. Diehl, chairman of
it's good roads board.
J. e. Pennybacker, chief of manage
ment of the federal bureau of public
roads, and generally recognized as the
foremost authority on good road man
agement, has resigned his post to be-
come director of roads for the associa-
ton. Mr.. Pennybacker originated and
edited the "Good Roads Year Book"
and was adviser to the joint commit
tee on federal aid in post roads of the
senate and house of representatives
before taking charge of the manage
ment branch of the federal road bu-
reau.
"The federal aid road act is mile
stone on the way, but only a mile
stone" declared Mr.. Diehl. "Ultimate-
ly there will come a national system
of highways correlated with state sys-
tens and these in turn with country
systems. There will be difficult prob
lens of finance, of administration, and
of traffic regulations to be solved. In
these questions the six million motor
vehicle owners should take an active
part, for these are questions that must
be settled right and in accordance with
intelligent public opinion. The A. A.

to sound the best sentiment on these
subjects and to bring to light the best
thought in their working out"

Lettuce has a soothing effect on the
nerves and is excellent for sufferers
from insomnia.
Tomatoes are good for a torpid
liver, but should be avoided by equity
people.
Celery Is fine nerve tonic; onions
also are tonic for the nerves.
Spinach has great aperient quail
ties, and is far better than medicine
for sufferers from constipation.
Beet root is fattening and good for
people who want to put on flesh.
Parsnips possess the same virtues
as sarsaparilla.
Cranberries correct the liver.
Asparagus stimulates the kidneys.
Bananas are beneficial to sufferers
from chest complaints.
Celery contains sulphur and helps to
ward off rheumatism.
Honey is good substitute for cod

The Tooth-Like Points of the Harrow
Brake Dig Into the Ground and
Hold the Car in Place Until the En-
CINE Can Be Started Again.

ton is designed to prevent automo-
bileS used in mountain touring from
running backwards down steep roads
should anything go wrong with the
regular brakes.
1t is the invention of George Stick
ney of Oregon. 1t consists of q har-
row-like frame suspended from a
crOsswise shaft pivOted to the chassis
frame directly back of the engine and
lowered into contact with the road by
means of system of levers controlled
by a hand lever and notched quad
rant in the drivers cab. The sharp
t0Oth-like points of the harrow dig in
to the ground and hold the car in
place until the engine can be started
again and the clutch thrown in. They
also serve to hold the car until it gets
under way. This eliminates the dan
ger of starting under the same condi-
ton without the device, in which case
the conventional brakes must be re-
leased before the clutch is thrown in.
This might allow the car to gain suffi-
Gent backward momentum to prevent
the engine from starting and permit
the car to drop off the road if the
brakes cannot hold it.-Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

TEACHING THE
CHICKS TO R00ST

Where large number of chicks are
icing raised in one brooder house diff
ticulty is often experienced in prevent
ing the birds from piling up at night
after the heat is removed, and causing
serious losses, says T. S. TOwnsley of
the University of Missouri college of
agriculture To prevent this over
'crowding the birds should be taught
to roost as early as possible. If roosts
are made out of l by 3-inch strips
placed II to Is inches from the floor,
the birds can easily be taught to go to
rOost. If the chicks do not go up on the
roost of their own accord they should
be gently placed on the roosts after
dark for one or two nights until they
get the roosting habit.
Look Out for Mites.-This season of
the year q constant lookout should be
kept by all poultry keepers for mites
in the houses and cOOpS. A mite Is very
small and difficult to see unless spe-
'cial search is made. They appear as mi
mute, gray or reddish specks When
present in large numbers, the mites
have the appearance of dust. Mites re-
produce very rapidly and are a great
source Of annoyance to the hens when
present in large numbers. The mites
live by sucking blood from the hens.
A severe attack of mites will cause the
hens to lose flesh and stop laying, and
will oftentimes produce death. To get
rid of mites the houses must be care
fully cleaned and then painted or
sprayed with repellent material. A
heavy spraying with coal oil followed
i'll two or three days by giving the
roosts and surrounding boards a thor
rough painting with crude oil will clean
up the mites and keep the houses free
for several months. This treatment
should be applied twice yearly to all
poultry houses as a precautionary
measure against mites.

DISTRIBUTION NOT UNIFORM
Average of 2.5 Motorcars for Every

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The total road mileage Of the
United States outside incorporated
towns and cities is about 2,456,0O0
miles. With a total registration of
6146,617 motor vehicles there was,
therefore, an average Of 2.5 motor
cars for every mile of public road in
the United States. The distribution
of cars among the several states, how
ever, is far from uniform. Thus, Ne
vada has but two cars to every three
miles of road, while Rhode Island has
16 cars to each mile of rural road.
Furthermore, while there was an aver
age Of one motorcar registration for
every 16 persons in the United States,
in the states of California and Ne
braska there was one car for every
seven persons, and one car for every
eight persons in Iowa and South Da-

immigration Loss Blamed
For Present Shortage of
Labor in United States

IF every soldier were back on his
old job the country would still be
100000 short of it's normal number of
workers due to the loss of immigration
the last four years; if industry does
not quickly develop some means for
overcoming this shortage it will be SER
iously handicapped in adjusting itself
to new conditions, say officials of the
United States training service of the
department of labor.
They point out that the country has
gone without it's normal supply Of
peace-time commodities for years and
now it must replenish freely. Fur
thermore Europe has lost millions Of
men and tens of billions of property
in the devastated regions must be
made good. 1t Is urged that to meet
this extraordinary situation the work
ers in factories and shops must be
assisted by increasing their skill and
interest In their work. The estimat-
ed shortage in this country of 70O,-
600 houses is cited as showing how
far the nation is behind normal produc-
ton.
Training courses in the industrial
plants, conducted at the employers
expense, are advocated as one of the
practical means of putting industry
on normal footing. More than $50
firms have already instituted courses
of this sort and according to reports
received by the training service, have
benefited in'better production and re-
duced turnover. The workers on the
other hand have increased their skill
and broadened their knowledge of their
trades.

Quaint Remedies of Past
Produced From Weeds Now
Most Common in the Field

In old-time Philadelphia, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, some quaint rem
'edies were used.
Thus we find pOkeberries used to
make plaster for cancer. Grapevine
sap was used for a hair tonic.
To produce a sweat, tea was made
from magnolia leaves. The berry of
this plant was supposed to cure con-
sumption.
For toothache the bayberry root
was an accepted remedy. Berries Of
the cedar tree were supposed to stiffen
the spine. A purge was made of alder
buds or of elderberries.
Goldenrod, the mullen plant and
even the lowly burdock were laid I'M
der tribute for various maladies. 1t is
hard to find common weed that was
rejected by the eighteenth century
pharmacopoeia.
The grandmother of all the Phlladel-
phia quacks was a beldame by the
name Of Sibylla Masters, who 200 years
ago made fortune by the patent and
sale of "Tuscarora RICE for consump-
ton.
1t was nothing more or less, appar.
emily, than hominy made from Indian
corn.
Her husband put up water mill
somewhere near the city to make 1t.
She was an innocent practitioner
compared with certain modern profit.
