that should bring the best results a large sum of money must be raised The child work is divided into the two phases of mental and physical aid.
 Trying to Equip Schools.
 To equip a schoolhouse with suffi- cient books for the winters work $50 Is sufficient To completely equip the schoolhouse with benches and desks, maps, blackboards, stationery, etc., $500 is needed.
 Besides the schools carried on un- der government supervision there are now established in some villages kin dergarten work, domestic science work and manual training. Any donations marked for education will be turned into this fund to bring back to normal mentality the children who have run wild and neglected since before the war.
 Compulsory education in France ceases when the pupil is fourteen. Boys and girls of fourteen have no more schooling than they had five years ago. Children of ten have not yet learned to read and write. Ba- bies of five years old think war is the natural state of affairs. All the chil- dren are undernourished. Not one in the district knows the taste of fresh milk.
 The children here were. before the war, the finest physical type France produced. The climate is bracing and there was an abundance of butter. milk and eggs. The poorest family owned a goat, chickens and rabbits; 1; the wealthier families had many cows.
 All of this live stock the Germans took, and the children and nursing mothers were deprived of protein, without which there Is no growth.

ROAD HIDING
MOTOR TRUCKS ON HIGHWAYS
Series of impacts Being Conducted at Arlington to Determine Impact
 on Roads.

tPrepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 To determine the destructive effect of heavily loaded auto trucks on high- ways and streets, and to meet the de- mand for data on the design of road surfaces and foundations to withstand such heavy traffic, a series of expert ments is being conducted by the bu- reau of public roads at the Arlington experiment farm to determine the im- pact of auto trucks on roads.
 The most striking single develop ment in the highway field in 1918 was the tremendous increase in motor truck traffic. Five years ago heavy motor trucks were few in number and limited practically entirely to the paved streets of larger cities. These vehicles now comprise probably 4 to. 5 per cent of the grand total of all motor vehicles and are to be found wherever traffic conditions permit profitable use. But very few roads were designed to carry any large voI- ume of this class of traffic. Conse- quently, the cost of adequate main tenance was increased greatly during the year. In many places the damage due to the incessant pounding of these fast and heavy vehicles was so great as to require complete reconstruction.

ADVICE ON BUILDING ROADS
Much InvestigationaI and Experi- mental Work Done by the De-
 partment of Agriculture.

Much investigational and experi- mental work on road building has been in progress for number of years and road engineers are able as result of this work to give valuable advice as to the most economical method of building and maintaining roads for the varying conditions exist ing In different localities. Much Of this investigational work has been done by the highways division of the United States department of agricul- ture and some by the various state highways commissions. No road build ing operations ought to be undertaken without the aid and expert advice which these agencies are willing and able to give. Taxpayers should insist upon this.

Billy Goat Is 0rnery
 CuSs," Says Physician

Santa Ana.-"The billy goat is an ornery cuss." This is the verdict of Dr. w. c. Dubois, after an experience that he doesn't care to repeat.
 The physician was making a professional call in the suburbs, and inadvertently left the door of his car open. A billy goat was eating tin cans and Der muda grass nearby; the auto seat looked very inviting, and the goat entered, ensconsing himself comfortably upon the cushion.
 Having completed his call, the doctor tried to "shoo" the ani- maj out, but it refused to be shooed. 4 grab at one of it's hind legs resulted in a brief en- counter which was not disas- trous, but brought the goats horns into play.
 All other means failing, Du= bois then possessed himself of a long pole and with one mighty heaye pushed the obstinate thing from out his car. This done, he had to keep the goat at the end of the pole until he could start the car and make his getaway.

Banff, Can.-Bert Thompson stopped with some of the boys for little while on his way home from work. It was dark when he climbed on to the bi- cycle and began pedaling hard to get home In time for supper. He had a feeting glance of dark object ahead just a second before he struck 1t and was thrown to the pavement. When he sat up, rubbing his head, big grizzly bear was looking down at him. Bert said they looked at each other and then both went away from the place as fast as they could.

TWine Trail Leads to
 Recovery of Cash Box

Conneaut. CA ball of store twine led to the finding of cash register containing $20 which burglars stole from local meat market. When the proprie- tor was called to the door from his bed upstairs by a knock he was struck by a brick hurled through a window.
 He was only slightly injured and ran out the door to Search for an officer. When he and the policeman returned the cash reg ister was gone.
 The burglars abandoned it in a gulley several rods away after trying in vain to open it. The twine was carried all the way, unraveling from the store, and led to finding the cash box.

Thousands of Little Unfortunates Still Show Many Traces of
 Savage Barbarity
EDUCATOR IS IN ARREARS
For Generation Children Will Con tinue to Study on a 25 per Cent Efficiency Basis-Tryine
 to Equip Schools.

New York.-Education in northern France ceased in the autumn of 1914 It cannot recommence until Germany pays the war damages to France, and France subdivides the indemnity into the proportions demanded by each de- partment canton and commune for the erection and equipment of schools.
 As Germany is only expected to pay 25,000,000 francs immediately and the rest in twenty years, the most hopeful outlook for French education is one quarter of the prewar force and equip ment within the next two decades.
 In the meantime, says the Brooklyn Eagle children who ceased to attend school in 1914 are five years in arrears, and for a generation will continue to study on a 9 per cent efficiency basis.
 The instructor often returns to a ruined village long before there is any school for him to teach. His own home is a heap of ruins and he has to com mence to dig among the debris to find any buried belongings, and to erect out 
 himself. The government is supplying as fast as possible wooden barracks, one end of which is sometimes par titioned for the teacher to live in, the other end for the scholars to eongre- gate.
 Living in Duqouts.
 When the government cannot supply the barracks, people of the town have salvaged the corrugated iron dugouts left by the Germans called Neissen huts. These dugouts are like n barrel cut lengthwise and bombproof; also these iron shelters are sweltering hot in summer and bitter cold in winter. They were meant to be placed under ground, not used as surface buildings, but any shelter in the devastated re- zion is acceptable, and this salvage can replace the school buildings.
 Inside these improvised schoolhouses there is nothing. An enterprising schoolmaster will find blanks in the nearby trenches, and if he can find nails he will knock together a bench Tor ms pupils 10 SlI upon. II he cdh obtain chalk, he has his class in arith- metic figure on the rough walls in lieu of a blackboard If he has sufficient memory he teaches his pupils what he remembers of history and geography.
 A survey made in July. 1919, showed that in 65 of the villages under the supervision of the American commit tee, 9 improvised schools had been opened, and four were expected to open in October From the 39 villages still without instructors or school shel- ter, the children must walk from three
The Pulaskian., 1919-11-14

to ten miles to the nearest school. This walk in winter, in the fog and rain and mud, ill-clad and undernour- ished, is a strain upon the frail con- stitutions that may result in the loss of young life.
 The children at home, sheltered in the cellar of a destroyed house where many people live together, a calico cur tain sometimes the only wall sNparat- ing family beds, are under as unhealthy conditions and as exposed as on the trip to the nearest schoolhouse. If the schoolhouses were equipped, the jour ney to school on a winters day would be worth while, but as it is, the only inducement held out to the youth of the isolated villages is the afternoon "gouter" or four o'clock lunch pro- vided by the Hoover commission and distributed by the American commit

Patriotic rhouah sufferina.

The instructors are government paid, their salaries varying from 15O to 300 francs a month. The French govern ment owns the school buildings and equips the schools, the taxes in the past levied on the communes making possible this support. When communes are wiped out and buildings are non- existent taxes cannot be levied, and until a readjustment of government finances is accomplished there is little prospect of adequate school facilities in the war-wrecked area.
 Motoring one afternoon through the beautiful Aisne valley, where scarlet poppies covered the poek-maked fields and the great war seemed as far away as the Roman wars, workers Of the American committee on devastated France heard the faint strains of poor violin and the high-pitched voices of children singing the 'Marseilles." They stopped the motor and up on a bluff by the roadside saw a tiny hut to which they climbed and found nine children grouped around boy of twelve playing his homemade instru- ment and leading the singing of their national anthem.
 The days instruction was over and the children were about to scatter, but every day before they parted their pa triotism broke forth in song.
 These are the children whose ter rible war experiences have left them nervous and frightened and who must | live for many years to come among | surroundings of desolation and sad ness.
 The problem in France is not only | the low birth rate, but the dreadful infant mortality. The American com mittee is doing prenatal work as we'll as child hygiene, but to carry this on with the thoroughness and extent l
