ROCK FOR HIGHWAY BUILDING
First Systematic Efforts to Determine
Value Were Made In French
Laboratory In 1879.

The first systematic attempts to de-
termine the value Of rock for road
building purposes ny means Of labor
atory tests we're made in France.
where in 1878 a road materials lab
oratory was founded in the French
School of Bridges and Roads. Here
the Deval abrasion test was adopted,
and this test with slight modiica-
ton has been accepted as standard
throughout the United States. The
test Is named from its inventor. 1t
was first used in connection with con-
tract work In the city of Paris. Many
valuable data were collected In this
laboratory on the hardness and tough
ness Of rock, and tests for these prop
critics were developed which were, In
principle, the same as those in use
today.

ments of the railroads there is great
need for a material improvement
throughout the land. Over the
try roads move the raw materials
that go to make up a vast proportion
of the tonnage carried by the railroads.
The present freight congestion has
emphasized the importance Of the
country road. 1t has proved the value
of hard surface roads as passageways
for freight carried in motortrucks and
automobiles.
Much relief for the railroads has
come through the immense tonnage
that has moved this summer or motor
trucks. A greater tonnage would I'M
doubtedly have moved In the same
manner IL our highway system had
been fit. The time has come when the
mileage of concrete, brick or other
hard-surfaced roads must extend In an
ever-increasing network until the re-
hottest parts of the country a have
the advantage of quick transportation

NEED FOR BETTER HIGHWAYS
Freight Congestion on Railroads Has
Emphasized importance Of Our
Country Roads.

We are being treated to a demon
stration Of what happens when the
arteries of commerce become dis
eased, ~cOngested and run down. The
lack Of adequate transportation facili-
ties on the railroads of this country
mounts into the millions of dollars in
the delays that are OccasiOned. Our
railway system, like our agricultural
methods, have grown up so gradually,
keeping abreast, even ahead of the de-
mands of commerce, we have come to
look upon them as a matter Of course.
But the even balance between trans
portatiOn facilities and demands OF
commerce is easily upset, as the ex-
perience of the past few months has
demonstrated.
Our railroad system needs rehabili-
tation. But along with the improve

ARGUMENT FOR GOOD ROADS
Judgment Rendered Against County
Because cuIvert MAI obseured
by Weed Patch.

An argument for good roads that
carries with 1t a sharp punch in the
way Of a substantial judgment for
damages is disclosed in a recent de-
cision of the supreme court of Wis
consin. In this case it appears that
when a machine went out of the traf-
&c path Of an old-fashioned country
road for the purpose of letting a
tractor pass 1t struck the cement
curbing at the end of a culvert which
crossed the road at this point. Be-
ing covered with weeds the obstruc-
ton was not seer until the accident
occurred. The county was held liable
IN damages for the accident.

an island of that name.
OF course, there is an explanation.
1t is pointed out that during the sum-
mer, while England was swept by icy
blasts from the arctic, Iceland was IA
vored with pleasant breezes from the
western Atlantic. The experience of
the two islands serve to illustrate the
extent TO which the weather will some
times depart from normal conditions.
1t will doubtless set people in England
and Iceland to gossiping about the

England Had Odd Weather

On the last day of August, in Manches-
ter, a screened thermometer four feet
above the ground recorded a tempera-
ture only three degrees above the
freezing point. 1t now appears that
while England was shivering the sum-
mer through, Iceland was enjoying the
kind of weather that England wanted
and did not get. On a day when the
mercury recorded a temperature of 50

FOR MEMBERSHIP IN D. A. r.

Members Of the ID. A. II. must show
an ancestor who fought in the Revolu-
tionary war or who was a member of
the Continental congress. or the con-
gress of any one of the colonies. or
who was a signer of the Declaration of
Independence, or who was an official
who actually assisted in the establish
ment Of independence by rendering
service during the war and who, in any
case was consistently loyal to the
cause Of Independence.

mate does not change within the life
time of a man. Iceland and England
will, in the main. have the same kind
of weather they have had for cen
turtles, as will New England. for that
matter. although in this bit of the
world we find in nearly every neigh
borhood the elderly citizen who de-
clares that the winters are not what
they were when he was a boy.

SURGERY WITHOUT PAIN.

Chloroform was not discovered by
Sir James Simpson. 1t was the fa-
nous English surgeon, however. who,
sixteen years after the anesthetic was
first discovered i'm 1881. began his ex-
periments. He boldly tried chloroform
an himself and two colleagues to test
rs effect. and the three were discov-
cred one day lying on the floor, appar-
emily dead. They recovered and COM
pared notes, and so chloroform came
into general surgical use.

Cannot Withdraw Now.

FOr the American Red Cross to
withdraw from Europe now would be
a world catastrophe. This is the con-
viction not only of Doctor Farrand
but of all the experts who have made
observation abroad. The aid which
the American people must extend, both
i'm the interest of humanity and for
their w self interest, has in the
American Red Cross n of its chief
mediums of action. There will be seri-
Gus emergencies that must be met dur
ing the coming winter and there will
be need for outside aid in relief and
welfare work. especially in the Bal
kans and the countries of eastern Eu-
rope, for at least another year.
Doctor Farrand reports that prog
ress is being made In the restoration
of industrial and general economic
conditions, and he was particularly
impressed by the unexpected progress
that has been made In the retaining
of lands In the devastated regions Of
France and by the general crop out
look. Poland is the country where
the results of a crop shortage are most
feared during the winter months.
Warfare within the borders of Poland
is largely responsible for the condi-
lions, and suffering bordering on
starvation may ensue. Broadly speak
ing, the starvation problem and the
problem of clothing the people are not
as acute as they were a year ago,
thanks in no small measure to the
work of the American relief admins

Women Voters Told Their Duty.

Now that woman suffrage is an as
sured thing, the leaders of the suffrage
movement are doing all in their power
to convince women that they should
vote. With a skill born of long expert
ence in dealing with recalcitrant con-
crosses and legislatures, the women
leaders are now c~ircularizing their o n
stituency and pointing out not only the
duty of voting but how women should
regard many Of the issues in accord
ance with which 1t Is desirable that
women voters shall make their choice
at the polls.
This work is being done under the
direction of Mrs. Maude Wood Park,
chairman of the National League of
Women Voters, who suggests that the
see that women register and vote in
the largest possible numbers. THAT
duty we owe" says Mrs. Park, ito
these who have won the suffrage for
us. As loyal members of the league
of women voters" Mrs. Park contin-
ues, 1--WE have next to ask ourselves
what we can do to make our own
votes and those of other women in
t%elligent and effective for good. A
third and no less important duty
between now and election day Is to
find out the stand of all the candi-
dates for congress on the planks
drawn up for presentation to political
parties"
Their Planks in All Platforms.
This last, one may well imagine.
will prove one of the most interest
ing Of the tasks the womeL have as
signed themselves. The suffrage
leaders took no chances of being
overlooked by any of the political
parties but. having drawn up a set
of planks embodying issues In which
they were interested, they presented
them to the platform makers at all
the political conventions except that
of the Socialist party, which had been
held before the planks were sent out.
If the vote were TO be cast
strictly in accordance with partisan
Endorsement of the wOman's platform,
the Prohibition party might stand a
fair chance of winning the election in
several states, for that party adopted
the whole batch without change, and
this on its own initiative. The
Farmer-Labor party took very many
of them. and the Democrats and Re-
publicans gave substantial indorse-
ment to the propositions advanced by
the league of ome voters.
Whether the attitude OF the vari-
Gus parties toward the women's plat
form can be set forth with sufficient
~clearness to serve as a guide in the
voting and at the same time do jus
ticc to the actual position Of the
party may be doubtful; and for this
reason 1t may not be easy for the
women voters TO differentiate fairly
among the candidates, Mrs. Park
says. Nevertheless, it may be said
that the attitude of all the major
political parties is friendly to most
of the propositions advanced by the
and where the platforms are
silent on certain points the fact can
not fairly be construed as an evidence
of antagOnism.

tries.
Doctor Farrand went to Europe fer
the purpose of observing conditions
at short range. in order that the Red
Cross executive committee may have
first-hand information on which to
base the PRONUNCIATION of a definite
program for the immediate future. and
to advise and consult with American
Red Cross officials i'm the foreign field
regarding preliminaries in the setting
up of units that will carry on the
work soon to be outlined.
Plans made Immediately following
the conclusion of hOstilities in the
World war, contemplated the meeting
of pending obligations and the with
drawal of the American Red Cross
from Europe at the earliest possible
moment. 1t was believed that by this
time practically all active work
abroad could be terminated. But the
existing situation was not fOreseen.
The after-war of epidemic dis
eases was not presented in full force
until some time subsequent to the
signing of the armistice and the prob
lem of the children has been given Its

MAY BE BONES OF HEROES
Gently Found Nea the Famous
Alamo at San Antonio.

Recently workmen have unearthed
in a portion of the Alamo grounds at
San Antonio bones which may be those
of the heroes of Texas whose bodies
were cremated by the victorious hordes
under Santa Anna.
No effort was made to gather the
bones nor to remove them to the in
closure of the Alamo. They were PER
mitted to remCif, where they were
found and garage is to be built over
the spot, the ground where the dis
covery was made being outside the
walls and part of the property which
has gone to commercial use.

feet south of the wall of the Alamo !;
and the inquiry rsade has not fully de-
veloped whether they were those of

Various Feeds
Successful turkey raisers use MANY
different kinds of feed, some of the
most common being as follows: Hard
boiled egg chopped fine and corn-bread
crumbs for the first week and then
whole wheat and hulled oats, stale
bread, soaked In milk and squeezed
dry, for the first few days, and then
common chick feed, clabbered milk
seasoned with salt and pepper, corn
bread crumbs; equal parts of pin
head" oats, whole wheat and cracked
corn; cracked wheat; corn meal and
wheat bran mixed in the proportion
of 3 to | and baked into bread; bran
or mddlings one-half, cracked Egyp-
tian corn one-quarter, wheat ana
hulled oats one-Quarter.
In addition to the above, skinned
milk and buttermilk are often fed with
excellent results.
