 Eighteen Dreadnauehts Available.
 Eighteen single caliber gun ships classed as dreadnaughts will be avail able for the January maneuyers that were not completed in 1910. They have combined displacement of 445,- GOO tons and a combined gun power of 1l2 14-inch guns, eighty twelves, 226 5-ineh and twenty-eight 3-ineh.
 A comparison of total battleship forces available in 1920 with 1910 shows that this year there are IS dreadnaughts and 19 predreadnaughts. excluding the Oregon class, against 23 predreadnaughts in 1910, including the Oregon class. Most of the battleships listed as available in 1910 are now con sidered obsolete.

that our highways are inadequate as now constructed. said Mir. Brush. Even our most substantial roads showed the effects of this additional traffic and the more cheaply built thoroughfares began to deteriorate rapidly, in fact so fast that 1t was necessary for highway officials to ex- erctse their rights under the state laws and limit the weight of loads.
 The highways we have been build ing in recent years, even the perma- nent types, are not heavy enough to carry the ever increasing commercial traffic. Engineers realize now that the roads must be considerably thick CT than at present and that they must oe wider to give room for the addi- tional vehicles being placed in service.
 Another phase of the commercial traffic problem is that of tire equip ment. It is going to be necessary 10 equip all trucks with pneumatics eventually in order that the highways may be protected as much as possible. The pneumatic tire gets away from the constant pounding that is evident with solid tires. They absorb the shock, no matter how minute, and thereby save the pavement from the pounding of the heavy load and give longer life to the mechanism of the vehicle.
 Experience is the only teacher and experience has shown to all the big road engineers of the country the fol- Iy of building good road too light. The surfaces must be thicker in order to stand the shock of the heavy loads passing over them.

Junior Red Cross School Children il Italy Make Coianders and
 Sieves.

CollestEada, Italy.-The Junior Red Cross school at Colestrada, Italy, is making kitchen utensils from osiers and withes to supply the countryside with the hardware that it is impns- sible to buy from stamping mills in Italy since the war. Collestrada is in the heart of Umbria, where straw plating and oste.. weaving are two of the principal industries. The orphans at the C0llestrada school make colan- ders and sieves and market baskets in sufficient quantities to furnish the neighboring villages.
 The reed receptacles are wove very tighs and serve for flour sifti1g. This is an important utensil in a part of Italy where the flour is ground on hand grist mills and contains many coarse particles. Another method of making these sifters is to weave three thicknesses of horsehair across q wooden hoop. which sifts as fine as the best articles manufactured with steel wire.
 The woven receptacles of Umbria are not exported from Italy this year because the country can use the en- tire output to replace those formerly made of metal by Italian stamp mills. Even the large output of the Junior Red Cross colony at Collestrada, which approximates hundred paniers

EQUALIzIEG COST OF ROADS
States Which Have Constructed High. ways Should Be Given Credit
 for Improvements.

Tn some of the states where high way construction has been a part of the state policy for period of years, much work has been done on high ways which would naturally become a part of the national system. It is proposed that in these cases states or counties should be allowed compen- sation which will give other highway mileage equal in value to that con structed. Such highways would not be maintained by the government, but would be turned over to the state while the government undertook the cost of maintenance of the national system.

Safeguarding AIrmen.

Because of the possible disastrous failure of an airman's oxygen-supply apparatus at great attitudes, the United States bureau of standards has devised a reliable method of testing the equipment in the laboratory. All the conditions of high-altltede flights are accurately reproduced, says Popu- lar Mechanics magazine. Decreased pressure is obtained by inclosing the equipment in bell jar connected to an air pump.

Present Roads Won't Withstand Truck Traffic and Builders Must
 Plan Heavier Roads.

The time is near at hand when main line highways must be built more substantially than in the past, according to William A. Brush chair man of the good roads committee of the Detroit Automobile club.
 Because of the tremendous growth in commercial traffic on the highways the road builders must soon look ahead and plan for heavier roads.
 The railroad strike, which caused industries and commercial houses throughout the country to resort to motor transport to move materials and finished products. helped to prove

Youth and Aoe.

Youth under restraint is unreason- able. It feels that 1t has a perfect right to do the thing 1t wants to, no matter what may be the clrcum- stances that would advise otherwise. Youth chafes with little occasion and can't understand why its elders all ways want evidences of good faith and assurances of success before giv- Ing unqualified Endorsement to youths rosy d4eams. As the years go by youth will learn that many desirable things have to be waited for. Things worth while are not of mushroom growth. And above ali things it will learn that one never gains by giving way to unreasonable complainings s3d restiye chafngs.

exposure and eat
less meat.

STAY of the damp ground avoid ex-
rosure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
a spoonful OF salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
ioxin, called uric acid which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
The blood, It is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in tho urine. The
pores of the skin are also means Of
freeing the blood Of this inlpurty. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores arc closed, thus forcing the kid
ncys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and faii to eliminate
this uric acid which, keeps accommodating
ard circulating through the system,
eventually settling in The Joints and
muscles causing stiffness soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twingc Of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces Of tad Salts; put a tablespoonful
in a glass Of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for z week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu-
lating the kidneys to normal action,
thus Kidding The blood OF these impur-
tiles.

WILSON aMAY RETIRE.

Chicago. H., Jan. 10.-The Chicago
American, a leading democratic paper
of the country, had the following to
say about President Wilson and dem
~ocratic chances of success in a lead
editorial:
'The Washington Post says that Mr..
Wilson will soon make a formal an
nouncement that he will retire from
public life ON March 4, 1921.
"1he announcement will be wholly
superfuous.
Everybody knows hat Mr. Wilson
will retire from public life on that
date.
"A very large majority of the Amer
lean people are impatiently waiting
for the opportunity to retire Mr.. Will
son upon that date, and also to retire
any ether democratic candidate who
may be selected by Mr.. Wilson to
succeed himself.
The country has had enough and
too much of Mr.. Wilson.
The people have lost all faith in
his words, because his words and his
performances have eve agreed.
And since words have been Mr..
Wilson'S principal stock in trade, it is
evi lent that the universal loss of o
fidence in anything he says or prom
Uses would make his candidacy for a
third term simply a joke.
And. furthermore, the candidacy of
any other democrat to succeed Mr..
Wilson will be only a joke.
"Mr. Wilson has killed the demo-
cratic party, with the able assistance
of numerous fool followers.
