Mystery Of Rain Unexplained.

The mysteries of rain are not yet
cleared away. The forces Of electric
ity, Of magnetism. Of radio activity, of
ultra violet light and all the other
agencies which may collaborate In the
production Of downpour Of rain are
very obscure.
We know from Holy Writ that the
wind bloweth where II listeth. Moth
ing whatever can be more expressive
Of the capricious and lawless char
acter of the wind. And wind and rain
come together; and the changes Of
temperature make what we call
weather. In the South Sea Islands the
natives have no word which means
weather as the atmospheric condi-
tons never change. The vast ma
jority Of human beings are In contrast
and unending conflict with the wealth
or. Hence the universal interest In
its causes, whether the noise and the
smoke Of battle fields or the ashes
from volcanoes or from the changes
of temperature produced by vast con-
hagrations. such as are witnessed
when q city is consumed In flames.

COMMON SENSE RULE
IN ROAD BUILDING
Bulletin Taxpayers Association Of
New Mexico

In n recent issue of Municipal
Journal and Public Works" Major n
A. Kingsley, Superintendent Of Roads,
intermediate Section, A. r. +. France,
makes some common sense suggestions
arising out OF his experiences with
French roads. He speaks Of how Just
plain water bound macadnm stood the
severe test OF war transportation, but
suggests that In the United States, va
ri0us types Of materials may be used.
Caution should be exercised in their
selection, however. We are swept
with enthusiasm for this or that type
Of street or road construction as their
respective agents sing the praises OF
laying brick, Portland cement, Warren
lite, Bito-slag, Trinidad asphalt, Willie.
etc. IL Is for the engineer 10 discrimi-
nate between legitimate, educational
promotion on the one hand, and promo
ton for sales only on public be
damned" policy ON the other hand.
Promoters and politicians should not
he allowed TO dictate In these matters.
Engineers should be selected to investi-
gate and report as to climate traffic,
local material. finances and a myriad
OF other important questions that are
involved In construction and maintain
ing highways
AS for Permanent roads," says Ma
jor Kingsley, IL is safe to say that no
such roads exist. Perhaps the term
might he applied to roads built to sus-
tain the traffic OF the community at
an expense which that traffic justifies,
considering the material costs, wealth
OF the community and traffic require,
ments." Are our engineers competent
to advise us as to all these conditions?
They owe IL TO the community to give
the best possible results with a mini
mum expenditure looking toward per-
manency.
Most interesting are the paragraphs
Of Major Kingsleys article dealing
with treatment and utilization OF what
we already have in the way OF roads
as compared with replacement. In
France, engineers contemplate using
for the maximum advantage TO France
the macadam roads already so well
built and so beneficial. In America we
are apt 10 over look the advantage to

Tie permanent road has not yet been
found. In few years more we may
he called upon to tear up again the
permanent roads we are building to-
day. We have had to learn from the
Frenchmen what are actual road sys-
tens and what they mean 10 country
In peace and In war. And we have
learned that well built waterbound
macadam and gravel roads may be de-
pended upon II cared for, to sustain
even the most intense traffic for long
periods. But with our modern ma
chlnery and equipment and our ex-
cellent bituminous cements, we have
nothing to learn from them as TO
methods OF treatment and preservation.
STOP. LOOK, LISTEN! Then use
common sense, good Judgment and en-
cheering knowledge and experience,
either your own or your fellow en-
gineer's.

Death Of Donald Young


Donald Young, only son OF Atty

paralysis due TO rupture Of a blood
vessel In the interior OF the brain
which was beyond medical skill. Thi,
rupture Is thought 10 have beer
caused by a fall which he suffered
Monday evening as he was enterinl
his home. He consulted a physician
that evening, feeling that he had sus
famed injury. but no particular alarm
was felt about his condition until
Tuesday morning, when he was found
TO be partly paralyzed. On wednes
day morning about ten O'Clock he
suffered more severe stroke, rem.
dering him unconscious, and he grew
rapidly worse until his demise.-Rio

THE GOOD CUSTOMER

business In done for cash or credit.
The other thing IL charity.
Credit business comes to an end
when a man can't pay his bills; cash
business stops when man can't pay
money.
When the town Is flush with money,
almost any customer In a good custo-
rler. But when the wheels stop, bust
hess can be done only with the man
who has cash or credit The other
kind Is liability. The dealer must
choose between turning him away and
losing the trade or trusting him and
possibly losing his money.
II he did not save when he had the
money, he can't pay cash, Of course.
II he did not save when saving was
easy, he can't be a good credit risk.
The dealer Is safe who builds up a
line OF good customers during flush
times. The dealer who does not so in
sure his trade IL coming TO the time
when he will have but one choice-he
can 20 out of business or go under.
Profits that get as far as the cash
drawer are for the merchant who cul-
tivates the habit Of saving.
The good customer can be recognized
the minute he or she comes into the
store.
II the customer knows how to buy
he knows how to save. IL he or she
knows the value Of goods he knows the
value OF credit. II he respects what
ne owns he respects what he owes.
Permanent business-expanding bust
ness--is the object of the business
mans long campaign.
What people spend makes up to-
days sales from which come today's
profits. What people save flows into
the prosperity fund which keeps bust
ness moving. which creates new produc-
ton. which returns more wages, which
enhances purchasing power.
Wise spending creates todoys gains.
Wise saving promotes permanent busi-
ness-expanding business.
The good customer Is the merchant
silent partner in building business
larger.
