DRIVERS CAN PREVENT WEAR
One Thing That Is Most Destructive is
Driving In Tracks-Distribute
Traffic Evenly.

Drivers can prevent wear to the sur
faces OF the roads and even improve
their conditions. If instead of driving
In, ore track or on the edge of the
road. they will drive over the middle
and other less-used parts of the road
when traffic permits. The one thing
that is Natal above all things to road
surfaces, whether dirt or paved, is
driving In tracks. which subjects one
small part of the road surface to all
the traffic and damage that the whole
road accommodates. Traffic should be
evenly distributed over the entire sur
face OF the road, and little thought
fulness and care In this respect on the
part of drivers will do much to add
to the permanence and excellence of
our roadways.

Many of thu boys In the camps are
orphans whom rhe war deprived of all
relatives, and there are others who
have not been In school and have been
practically without care since 1914.
Scouting as developed in the United
StAtes Is recognized as the best In
the world, and 1t Is to teach these
boys scouting of this kind, especially
camp activities. that Mr. Barclay was
loaned by the national council to the
American committee. The boys in the
camp are divided into troops and pa
trolls, following the American plan,
under scoutmasters and patrol lead
ton of French boy scouts. They are
being taught team-play, sanitation,
personal health and all that makes
for clean morals. Mr.. Barclay took
with him samples Of all kinds of tents
and equipment for up-to-date camp
ing, to serve as models to use in this
camp school In France.
