GOOD ROADS AS Gas SAVERS.

a test was made in Ohio recently
to determine the saving in gasoline
from running motor truck over a
good road The greatest pains was
taken to eliminate from the test every
variant except the surface Of the road
Five new Army Standard a trucks
were used for the trial. They were
sent over seven different types Of road
surface on practically level ground.
The test, results showed an average
Of 5.7S miles per gallon over dirt road
in good condition, 7.19 over fair grav-
ell, s.3s over good gravel, about the
same over fair bituminous macadam
and good brick roads, 11.44 over extra
smooth brick and 11.7S over good
concrete.
Here is a gain of over six miles per
gallon between the best and worst
type of road with unloaded trucks.
The trucks loaded showed that the
poor road took seven times as much
gasoline per mile as the good one.
This being the age of the automo-
bile and the beginning of the auto
truck as a real factor in transporta-
tiol.. these figures speak louder than
words on the sound economy OF sound
roads Furthermore, into these figures
enters no calculation OF the wear and
tear upon an expensive machine in go
ing over rough highways, nor the time
lost They arc only to show that the
saving in gasoline alone must be
figured a long way toward paying for
the construction Of good pavements

committee Of the Academy Of AIe:i-
cine declared much good had teen

be continued.
On April 10 the question whether or
not the experiment should be con-
tinued was submitted to a vote OF the
people of the district Out of a tota!
of 4154 votes there were only 12O

FooD, MARKS AND DOLLARS.

Now that the Germans are getting
the American food they clamored for,
they are howling about the s'exorbi-
< tant prices charged for it. The. situa-
ton is instructive both as an indica-
ton of the rate of German exchange
and as a new revelation Of that ever
appealing subject, German psychology.
1t might seem reasonable enough
for the Germans to howl when they
have to pay marks a pound for ba-
con, 2 marks a pound for -four and III
like proportion for other food staples.
On the basis Of those figures alone it
might be inferred that Uncle Sam OF
Mr.. Hoover or somebody else is goug-
ing the Germans. But as matter, Of
fact. the Americans are only getting
60 cents a pound for their bacon, 10
cent So pound for their -four, etc. That
higher than the Americans at home
have to pay, and presumably no more
than is fair considering the expense Of
Transportation and distribution.
The explanation lies in the fact that
the German mark. which used to be
worth "a cents in international eX-
change, is now worth only cents.
and there was no Misrepresentation
about it. The Germans were notified
some. time ago that the prices for
American food would be on a basis Of
dollars, not marks. and they begged
for The food on that basis. These
facts should be remembered whenev-
er any complaints. on the subject
come from Germany.

ECONOMIC BUILDING.

In all this discussion of building
there is one fact of which not much
is said, but which nevertheless stands
out clearly. 1t is the folly Of f1ilnsl'
building.
There is a. natural temptation. when
the cost Of la Dor and material is high.
to lower the expense by cheap con-
struction Any honest and intelligent
building contractor can point out thn
futiiity OF such an attempt.
Nearly half the cost Of ordinary
construction is for labor. The labor
costs just as much whether it is ap-
piled to good material or poor mater
ial. Why waste five-dollar labor on
two-dollar stuff?
Even when the materials alone are
considered. it is a mistake. Ask any
trust worthy builder or dealer whe!h-
Ell there is any real economy in poor
material He will proba bly, tell you
that the difference in price between
trashy stuff and fine durable stuff IS
nearly always less than the difference
in quality and serviceability. Lumber
that costs 20 per cent more per foot
