ARE CARRYING 1T TOO FAR
Abbreviating Of an Alb
b%reviation.

This is the day Of brevity. The
names Of states and cities are abbrevi-
nted, Christian appellations are cut
short and initials substituted. The GRO
Ger abbreviates potatoes" to "spuds"
and condenses crackers" to "crax."
The butcher writes "PC" when he
means pork chops" and the chemist
shortens water to "H-2-O." The
printer, referring to "a mass of balled-
up type" cusses and calls it "pi."
Likewise, the sport writer's character
lie the "knock out" as "KO." The
doctor indicates "sod-cac" when he
wants sodium cacodylate."
But authorizations are not confined
to words. The Yanks abbreviated the
war. The rising cost of living has alb
breviated the purchasing power Of a
dollar. The airplane has abbreviated
space, and electricity has abbreviated
time itself. The laundry often abbrevi-
ates the size of ones new shirt. Fash
lon frequently ~abbreviates costumes.
There is, however, such a thing as
abbrevlating too much. For in France,
a bathing suit is considered sufficient
railnent for n who Is in the SWIM

able elsewhere. Tennis players clad in

ROAD BUILT OF EPSON SALTS
Texas to Have Unique Highway Ten
Miles Long, Say State High
way Officials.

Austin, Tex.-A road of EPSON salts
is an attraction Texas can soon hold
out to tourists, according to the state
highway department.
Ten miles of highway out of Rock
port is being surfaced with a material
which analyses than one-fourth
epson salts. The material is obtained
from flats where constant evaporation
Of gulf water has left silt strongly i'm
pregnated with salts, among which the
epson variety predominates.
Highway engineers declare the mix
iture forms an excellent road surfac-
ing material, as the salts absorb
enough moisture from the air to keep
the roads damp, free from dust and
firm on the dryest days. One trouble,
however, is that the road becomes
very slippery during wet weather, but
this IS overcome by adding q small pro-
portion Of shell and regulating the
slope, Of the surface.

the Society of Friends had excellent
