In most states the motor.vehicle

states thus seem to have solved fairly

secure sufficient funds to maintain the

increasing traffic requirements. As
both the traffic and the revenues in

exists possibility Of so adjusting the

the ever-gr0wing maintenance charges.

EARTH ROADS IN CONDITION
DRAINAGE ls Chief Essential, IN PUTTING
Earth Roads in Proper Shape
Drag Must BE Used.

It can be truthfully said that drain
age is the chief essential in putting
earth roads into proper condition. An
old Scotchman, an expert road builder,
APPLY said that the three requirements
Of good earth roads are, drainage, more
drainage, and still more drainage. r.
w. lehman Of the. University of Mis-
souri college of agriculture fndorses
this sentiment and adds: Roads must
not only have good surface drainage
but must also have good underdrain-
age. Surface drainage is secured by
proper grading, adequate side bitches,
and by keeping the crown of the road
properly dragged. Stretches of road
that do not dry out quickly must be
underdrained by tile.
The drag must be used after each
rain, II the best results are to be Sc
cured. Don't go on the road while too
muddy, let it dry out slightly it should
be wet enough, however, SO 1t will not
crumble, but smear. When properly
used, the drag brings ti:li. aver Of
earth toward the center Of the road
which is rolled and packed between
wet periods. II too much crown is Sc
cured by dragging. the angle Of the
drag should be reversed.
Getting the earth -oais graded,
bitches open, well drained, and prop
erly crowned by dragging is about all
that can be done until the people are
ready to surface the road with gravel,
broken stone or some other surfacins
material.

An Old Enemy.

Charlie Webster's laconic note was
naturally our chief topic over break
fast. 'Tobias escaped-just heard he
is on your island. Watch out. Will
follow in day or two" The "king'
read 1t out, when I handed him the
note across the table.
"Your friend writes like true man
of action" he added, 'like Caesar
and also the electric telegraph. We
must send word to Sweeney to be on
the lookout for him. I will send Sam
son the Redoubtable with a message
to him this morning. Meanwhile we
will smoke and think"
Then for the next hour the "king'
thought-aloud; while Calypso and ]
sat and listened, occasionally throw.
ing in a parenthesis Of comment or
suggestion. It was evident, we all
agreed, that Calypso had been right.
It had been Tobias and none other
whose evil. eye had sent her so breath
less back to me, waiting in the shadow
Of the woods; and it was the same
evil eye that had fallen vulture-like
on her golden doublo0n exposed on
Sweeney's counter.
1t was clear that there were such
coins on the island in somebody's pos
session. Then, when he had watched
Calypso on her way home-and with
out any doubt been the spectator of
our meeting at the edge of the wood
though we had been unable to catch
sight Of him-there would of course
be a suspicion in his mind that my
quest might at least be approaching
success, and that his ancestral mil.
lions might be almost in my hands.
That there might be- some other
treasure on the island with which nei-
Their he nor his grandfather had any
concern would not occur to him, nor
would it be likely to trouble him If 1t
did. My presence was enough to
prove that the treasure was his-for
was 1t not his treasure that I was
after? Logic irrefutable! How was
he to know that all the treasure SO
far discovered was that modest hoard

struction has been quite noticeable
This is especially true in those states
which have a comparatively large
number of cars and only small mile
age of improved roads. Thus, Illinois,
last November approved bond issue
of $60,O0OO00 for the construction of q
system of state roads. The interest
and principal of these bonds are to be
paid entirely from the motor-vehfcle
revenues. There is no doubt that these
revenues will prove sufficient for this
purpose. The main question which re-
mains is whether or not satisfactory
source of maintenance revenues can
be secured SO as to prevent these
roads, when constructed, from dete-
