There are two Wildwood girls by the
name OF Ruth Johnson. We print
this as a matter of information because
last night at the Dutch entertainment
the Ruth Johnson on the program was
taken by many people as the daughter
OF Mrs. Sarah Johnson, head book
keeper at the electric light office,
whereas the Ruth on the program was
the daughter of a Mrs. johnson, who IS
employed in a telephone exchange in
Wildwood. Anyhow, they are both
pretty girls and may be that is the
reason of the mixup. The first named
Ruth is in Philadelphia this winter
attending a school of design and
studying costume draping. She
declares that she will not folio in the
footsteps of her mother and become a
business woman. Ruth is right,
because any ordinary mortal who a
add, subtract and multiply can hold
down a business position, but it
requires real art to become a costume
draper.

1t was well done. Professor Chalmers
made a strong plea for an increase in

was made lastayear in Wildwood. This
question is now before the board of

taxpayers to use their influence for a
raise. No self respecting axpayer
should object to a twenty OIL twenty
five per cent. increase in the pay of
teachers. The JOURNAL is in favor of
it and urges the board to do so.

ROAD
BUILDING
DIRT ROADS CARE IN SPRING
Proper Drainage 10 Chief Essential In
Malntenanee--Road Drag ls
Especially Useful.

The cardinal essential In spring
maintenance of earth roads, especially
those on heavy soils, is good drainage.
So long as the water can be kept
from penetrating deeply into these
roads they will remain at least fairly
passable. To accomplish this on aver
age earth roads, however, Is far from
easy. During the early part Of this
season Of the year rains are often of
long duration and tend to saturate the
soil. Water from melting SHOWS Is
perhaps even more penetrating than
long-continued rains, while alternate
freezing and thawlng of the wet sur
face tends to increase the porosity of
the soil and permit even more ready
access Of water into the foundation.
The chief attention of the road man
must therefore be directed toward
getting and keeping the water away
from the road. So long as the founda-
ton can be kept dry, even a heavy
freeze followed by a rapid thaw will
do little or no real damage to the road
surface. A dry soil does not heave.
The foundation will therefore still be
solid, and the road will be able to
sustain the traffic without serious rut-
Ting. On the other hand a saturated
soil expands greatly on freezing, and
when It thaws out has not only lost
practically all power of sustaining the
weight Of traffic, but also is in an ideal
condition for taking up or absorbing
still more water, and thus forming
still more mud.
During the early part Of the season,
as long as the weather Is very rainy
or there is melting snow on the ground
II will pay to have the road man go
over the road daily to see that the
drains and side bitches do not become
clogged and to note the need of any
necessary repairs. A few minutes
work with shovel may prevent a Sc
rious washout or damages, which, II
not promptly checked, might make the
road practically impossible.
The road drag or some other similar
device finds its greatest usefulness
during this season. 1t may be used
to good advantage to clear the road
way Of slush and melting snow and so
prevent this water from soaking into

excelled when In the hands Of a
skilled operator. An unskilled man
may do more harm than good. Fur
thermore, the actual condition of the
road during this period will depend
very largely on the knowledge Of the
road man as to just when to drag as
well as his skill in the operation of the
implement.
In addition to the maintenance, pro-
vision should be made for doing all
necessary grading or earth work as
early In the spring as possible, in or
der that II may become thoroughly con-
solidated before the dry weather Of
summer. II the work is done too late
the road will not only probably be-
come very dusty in dry weather but
will need additional attention later In
the fall. Where the soil is a heavy
clay or gumbo the condition OF the
road may be very materially improved
by adding sand from time to time as
that already on the road is worked In
by the passing traffic and the drag.
