ney, lord mayor of Cork, best known
of the Irish hunger strikers, and SAID

WeI,.Kept Lawns in East.

Persons travelling through the cities
and villages of Connecticut and other
New England states often comment on
the beautiful lawns there, the Okla
homan remarks. Even ont in the coun-
try the yards are covered with fine
growth of grass, well watered and
neatly trimmed.
It is said New Englanders are so
careful with their lawns that they will
not use rakes in gathering the cut
grass after a mower goes over 1t. In
stead they sweep the cut grass away.
They assert that rakes tear the roots
of the grass and otherwise damage 1t.

OF BIG VALUE IN AVIATION.
The weather bureau of the
United States department of ag
riculture gathered a great deal
of valuable information Sor
army and navy aviators during
the war and for mail service
aviation since that time by
means of kite to which was at
tached self-recording instru-
ment, the meteorograph. Some
of the difficulties experienced
are shown by an incident that
occurred March 16 at Leesburg,
Ga. In order to attain the
height desired, a number of kites
had been sent up tandem. They
consisted Of strong wooden
frames about Z by Z by feet.
Each kite was covered with
about IL yards Of fine cambria
and was attached to fine piano
wire. They were let out and
hauled in by a reel operated by
electric motor. Due to a defect
i've splice, four of the kites with
about miles of wire broke
away and flew about 10 miles
before the wire became en-
tangled in tree. A farmer
telephoned the news to the aero
logical station, but before the
party sent out to recover the
kites could reach them some
negroes had wrecked the first
one and stolen the cloth, which
was later found in nine pieces
in various cabins. The other
three kites, when the first one
was separated from them, es-
capped and flew about three miles
farther. During the flight, how
ever, the wire became entangled
with a. boy and mule blowing
in field. The boy grasped the
wire and cut and burned his
hands. The mule became so
entangled in the wire that the
help of three men was required
to release him. The three kites
were finally caught in another
tree which was cut down by
another party of negroes, and,
in falling, wrecked the second
kite, which was dismantled by
the negroes. The two remaining
kites again escaped, flew about
3 miles farther and landed in
one of the tallest pine trees in
the region. The third kite had
. meteorograph attached which
was recovered unchanged. A
heavy rain came on, however,
and the two remaining kites
were broken up and finally aban-
doned.

Famous Pennsylvania City.

In the belfry of the ancient court
house at York, Pa, hung bell given
by Queen Anne to st. Johns Episcopal

surrendered and when Washington
passed through York. The bell is now
on view in the vestibul4 of st. Johns

the running time between Tucson to the summer resort of Oracle and makes that famous recreation ground at the base of Mount Lennon more acces- sible to all southern Arizona.
 This road also connects with the wonderful scenic highway to the sum init Of Mt Lennon which is being built by the county of Pima co-operat- ing with the federal rorest service. To those unfamiliar with this country it may be said that the Mt Lennon dis trict is a bit of Canadian forest land set down on the top of the mountains
 which rise from the arid desert, thus providing a cooling oasis of rare de- light which is destined to become more popular every year.
 The Oracle road paving, known on
 the maps of the state highway de- partment as Federal Aid Project No. 9, consists of a paved highway eighteen feet in width and with three-foot shoulders of natural road material on either side, making the roadway q | feet in width. This is solid concrete construction of a thickness of six and a half inches at the center and five | and a half at the edges. The length | of the project is a little less than four miles and the cost of construction ap-
 proximately $30,OO0 per mile.
 1 The concrete was laid with an auto- matic tamping and finishing machine
 the use of which marks the greatest
