TELLS BRITISH !
 TO GET BUSY Argentine Editor Advises Them How to Cultivate
 South America.

London. March 1e-(Correspono- arce of The Associated Press)-Jorgg 4. Mitre, editor of La Nacion, of Buenos Aires, gave Great Britain some advice concerning the extension of it's trade in South America while speaking at a dinner of Journalists and public men the other day.
 Tt may be a matter of some con- cern to you.' said MT. Mttre. that Great Britain, with the control of roads, railways and waterways in Argentina has an inferior position to other countries in the market. Take for instance, the case of agricultural machinery. In that line the United States are ahead of you because the American has made himself familiar with the needs and the fancies of the farmers.
 The South American people during the next few years will have money to spend. There is worldwide de- nan6 for food. ours is a food export ing country, and prices are likely to be favorable to the producer We shall want to buy not only locomo- ttves, ploughs and other machinery, but motor cars, cutlery. plate, fur1li- ture, jewelry and finished leather goods. Who is gong to supply us with these things?
 One of the best instruments you can use in sha ping your South Ameri- can policy during the renaking of the world is the British communities already established in the South American countries. In addition you must send out your travellers prop erly equipped. They must speak our language All the efforts of British nufacturers to meet the require ments of South American market will fall to be fruitful so long as your commercial travellers are ignorant of Spanish.
 Then there is the fresh flow of capital to South America I under stand that for some time there will be a restriction on the export Of Brit ish capital te foreign countries, in order that the rate of exchange may be improved. You must be careful not to pursue & mistaken policy in this respect. It Is the exchange of goods that makes prosperity and not balances

HIGH SCHOOL
 WAR OVER S7
South Norwalk Basketball Girls Retain Lawyer to
 Fight Case.

South Norwalk, Conn., March fs.--~
 The tridtng sum of T.e0 has sAdfy disrupted the morale of the Norvazk High school for the Inst month, and now title to said money threatens te cause the suspension of six members of the g1rks' basketball team and their expulsion from tine graduation class one month before commencement. Rival factions have retained lawyers and intend to have & fni-nedged civil suit.
 All this oomnot&on fS over 6, basket

 to play the local girls. but the day before the game the NorwaK HAgh teachers refused to stgn Miss Flor ence Siddd's card and she ShIs be- came ineligible to play tho next day. No substitute was available and the girls called up AnSon4a and cancelled the official game. The Ansonia girls came and played an independent team. That let Miss Sazidd into the lineup and the independents won, 2 to 13
 Principal Harry 8f. Bsalke demanded that the independents turn over the profits of the game to the Gtrks Ath- le5c association. This the g1rlz re- fused to do They erTansed a game with Milford, played 1t last Saturday and spent half of the Ansonta.- game profits in fares.
 When the money was not forShcofr ing Principal Blake retained Attorney Leo Davis. and the girls rScefFe6 8 hearing last Friday. They were told that the money should go to the Garls' Athletic association, and that if they did not give 1t up by April they
 would aoe suspended and would not be allowed to graduate.
 The girls became frightened and promised to make good as soon ss they could, but when their parents heard of the affair it took another turn. Former City TreaSz1rer WfRrFd Bodweu took up the cause and re- tained Judge Keough for counsel Meanwhile Miss S1zidd has been told to keep the money.
 They'll have to make a corpse out of me before they'll get it. said the robust basketball girl to 6. reporter.

4 Department officials explain the
schools are expected to pay for them
selves as social experiments by train
Ing 5wSmen to be helpful wives. The
schools are needed, 1t is believed, be-
cause thousands of young girls left
their homes to work In munition
factories at a time when they ordin-
arily' would have begun to learn
household duties.
T. OF i 100000 women who entered
industry during the war, thousands
now are jobless through the closing
of munition factories. Hundreds are
unable to find other employment be-
cause peace Industries have not yet
got into full swing. The schools are
expected to give occupation to hum
dreds of women who otherwise would
have nothing to do.
The wives and flancees' schools
will be established in scores of cities
which became munition centers dur
ing the war.

SAGEBRUSH USED FOR ROADS
Despised Weed Is Now Declared to Be
Best Building Material in
Western States.

Nobody loves the sagebrush, yet
somebody is always trying to uplift it.
This is a difficult task since it's ante
cedents are so bad. Nevada, COM
planned long time because she was
called the "Sagebrush state;" hunters
hated the plant because Of the bitter
flavor it impaired to the grouse; pros
pectors settlers, stockmen despised it
because it encumbered the earth. It
was fit only for rattlesnakes to coil in
and strike or for coyotes to blend their
taWny skins into vanishment.
Not long ago an Oregon man cried,
"Eurekaw He said that sagebrush
was the best bodybuilding material
in the West, says New York Sun.
Now Idaho claims in the despised weed
a source of great wealth and the solu-
ton Of the problem Of potash short
age: '"The average acre produces
three tons of sagebrush at a cost Of
$25. The sagebrush burned in the
kiln gives from 25 to 80 per cent pot
ash. The supply is inexhaustible."
The Idaho poet, who called for a
festival Ito lift the curse from the
plant we know so we'll and should
love- may now consider himself even
with those who jeered and refused to
foregather with him.

OUTLOOK DUBIOUS FOR AUTO
Roads Cannot Stand Wear and Tear
They Are Being Subjected To
by Heavy Trucks.

With the shortage Of labor for road
making and the more general use Of
the roads for heavy hauling, it is like
ly that the roads as they exist will
not be able to withstand the hard
usage, and the outlook is dubious for
the automobile. Many industrial COM
panies are making use Of fleets Of
trucks to deliver their goods, instead
Of subjecting themselves to the uncer.
tainties Of the railroad service and
the wear and tear on the roads thus
made use of is more than they can
take care of. This, more than ever,
makes it evident that there should be
some very decided reforms made in
the matter Of road building. The
makeshift repairs which have hereto
fore been made are not now sufficient
and all new road building work should
be made on the most substantial lines.

Ohio State Highway, Brick.

have outlets at all convenient points.
Cross drains or culverts should be
constructed wherever it is desirable
to transfer drainage water across the
road, and they should usually be pro-
vided with end Or wing walls for pro-
tecting the slopes of the embankment.
When the material composing the
roadbed is likely to be springy, sys-
tenn of longitudinal underdrainage
may be found necessary to secure
proper drainage. In constructing a
road, of any type whatever, it should
be constantly borne in mind that ade-
quate' and continually effective drain
age is absolutely necessary if the road
is to be maintained in good condition.
