Two Causes of Damage.
There are two things that cause
damage 10 roads. One is the impact of
weight. The other is the wear on the
surface OF the road. With light road DIS
such as were found in France the
weight impact does much damage. II
the roadhcd is faulty. weight, of
course, tends 10 break il.
But with the we'll RECONSTRUCTED road
the greatest destroyer OF roaA surface
. is the steel tire, such as on the buggy
or heavy or light wagon. The steel
lire hits the roadway With an UNI
yielding impact. This constant un-
giving pounding crushes the stone and
skaters al! OF the particles. Too. steel
tires. because they are comparatively
narrow, cut and dig deep ruts
In other words. steel tires literally
pulYerize the road surface. The sue
tion OF fast-moVinG pneumatic tires
lifts. this dust and scatters it to the
winds.
10 Comparatively Small Damage.
But that is not true OF motor trucks
Usually they are equipped with broad
rubber tires. They travel at SLOW
speeds COMPARED 10 the passenger auto,
the motercycle.. and other vehicles.
They do no, lift the dust and conse-
uuently cause little damage TO the
surface OF the properly construct q
road because there is practically no
SUCTION from the truck tire!

the tire grind along the sides OF the
ruts. because the side walls OF the
strongest tires feel quickly the effects
Of such treatment.
An examination Of the alignment OF
the front wheels should sbe made once
week because wheels arc likely to
lie thrown out of true BY the jogging
they get, and bad alignment means

rest, it is a great missionary work to
strew musical propaganda broadcast,
to use the subdueing, calming power
of real music toward the righting Of
worldwide conditions.
The musical appreciation of a
large number of people has been
ruined by popular ragtime, which has
degenerated into "jazz," the fallacy
of whose worth is proven by its short
existence. Whoever plays casey
Jones" or RED Wing" now? Who
will play jazz Blues" etc, SIX
months from now? Real music, which
the masters, many of them, have en-
dured soul racking hardships to Gre
ate and give to the world, is immor-
tai. AS long as time, the harmonies
Of Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, and
Schubert will ejheard.
The world can well do without that
petty individual who thinks 1t is
smart to descry classical music, aAf
who has no hesitancy about exclaim
ing, 30, play something lively" Such
person is all out of tune with the
best things, the noblest things Of this
life. And Mr.. Shakespeare put him
in the category with 'treasons, STRAIT
agems, and spoils," or traitors, plot
tiers and robbers. it is such a person
that music could the most benefit.
Certainly, real music is ennobling,
and the fact that it might ''subdue
the rage" and unsettled conditions OF
this topsy turvy old world, by its
calming effect on mems minds, anc
that it is an important factor IN oul
national life, is worth a seconc
thought.

IDIOTS, EFT AIS.

The 18th day of December has

galore were to be visited upon the
earth with the probable added attrac-

was promised several weeks ago by
some addle- Drained person who signs
his name with long alphabetical
list of degrees. Many people greeted

your good times, and yet it is Dads

And the best Christmas gift you
can give him this year, is part of
yourself, something that isn't meas

that the thoughtful and grateful boy
or girl often does, something that he
had rather have than all the gifts
on the tree.

MUSIC A NATIONAL
FACTOR.

An effort that should meet with
hearty cooperation and approval gen
orally is being made by interested
musicians of the town ito bring here
during the winter, musical artists of
the highest type. Paducah has arran-
ged splendid musical program for
the winter, and Paris has the OPP
portunity of hearing any artist that
appears in Paducah, if the public re-
spends eagerly, and get behind the
movement as they should.
Music is today conceded to be one
of the greatest factors in our nat
ional life. The power of music,
"that universal language of man
kind" over the passions of men has
for countless ages been sung by poet
and sage, who tell us that music
hath charms to soothe a savage
beast" Emusic exalts each joy, al
lays each grief" etc. Through his
tory and literature we can find nu-
merous examples of the power of
music. In the recent war, though
music was not used tom-tom fashion
Co stir our men on to deeds of mar
tial courage, yet every "Y'' hut, or
Hostess House." or the like, had
some sort of musical instrument to
boost the morale of the men. And

someness was certainly cured by the
influence of music.

tion of beautiful music, the lofty
ideals it tends to create, its power to

WAGE INCREASE 80
PER CENT IN STATE

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 10. The
average wage increase in Indiana dur
ing the fiscal year ending Sept. 30,
1918, as compared with the more nor
NAL year ending Sept. &c.. 1916, was
80 percent.
Tangible figures indicating this in.
crease in the state under war condi.
lions is shown in the Indiana indus.
trial board report, just completed. The
wage statistics take into considera-
ton the compensation paid to approx.
imately $4,000 persons annually.
These workers include persons re.
ceiving only few dollars week and
those that receive as high as 500 a
week. The reports come to the board
from employers in all parts Of Indi.
ana whenever a worker is injured
even to slight degree. While the
average wage derived from study OF
these reports can not be relied upon
to establish the absolute wage average
of all workers in Indiana, the stats.
tics do clearly indicate the percentage
of increase in wages that occurred
during the last three years.
The average wage for each of the
last three fiscal years follows: 1916
$14.92; 1917, $16.05; 1918, $2O.S4.
