KEEP ROADS OPEN IN WINTER
Federal Highway Commission Sug-
gests That Special Efforts Be
Made by State Officials.

It is suggested by the federal high
way council that state and county
highway departments make a special
effort to keep the rodds clear of snow
during the winter months and thus
permit of uninterrupted traffic. The
transportation of certain commodities
is really more important during the
winter than in summer and it Is then
that the roads are more difficult to
pass over Then, too. the rural mail
must be carried whether roads are
good or bad, and when the snow drifts
several feet deep over the roads the
life of the rural mail carrier is any
thing but pleasant. AS the snow melts
it transforms many roads into mire
that is almost impossible. On any
road, no matter how good. there is a
tendency for the melting snow TO soft
en- the subgrade and loosen the base
under the wearing surface, thus caus-
ing great damage to the road.
Road officials could do nothing bet
Ter than to keep their equipment busy
in the winter removing the snow from
the road surfaces. 1t is one form of
maintenance work that is very essen
tial in lengthenlng the life and use
fulness of the highways.

George Teagarden, who is driving
east on the Sunburst vein, has about
seven feet of neaf-ore in the breast of
the level. A few days ago a cross
vein was encountered carrying borute,
or purple copper, ore, an unusual min

picked specimen from the breast of the
level returned 129 ounces in silver and

a raise was started on near-ore, but
this was temporarily discontinued when

has consistently followed this prac-
tice. The originally improved roads
In Maryland were comparatively in
expensive. costing only what the tax
payers We're willing to pay for. The
FIRST few years the average cost was
less than $4,000 a mile. In some
cases the work entailed considerable
grading and drainage, but In others
1t amounted simply to resurfacing the
old turnpikes. which had already
been graded and drained.
Generally the roads built at that
time were macadam, u feet wide
and six inches thick. Soon the width
was increased to IA feet. Later many
were widened still farther. some very
successfully, by adding concrete shouI-
ders on each side of the existing
macadam. This method of improving
roads makes it possible for traffic to
continue unimpeded on the road while
The work is going on.
The macadam roads in Maryland
have given very good satisfaction, but
continuous care has been largely re-
sponsible for their success. The roads
are constantly patrolled and no hole
Of any size is allowed to go unre-
paired. Material for patching is kept
at convenient points along the road
for the use of the patrolman. From
relatively small investment in an ad-
mittedly low-type road it builds up
better one from year to year, always
conserving the bulk of the previous
investment.

Fire-Proofing Cotton.

A process has been devised for
treating baled cotton with a chemical
compound which renders 1t flame and
spark proof and at the same time ap-
parently provides an inch or two of
cotton in condition to aid in rapid
drying without deterioration in case
a bale is exposed to weather. On an
average. 10000 bales of cotton are de-
stroyed by fire before the crop is mar
keted and most of this loss can be
traced to flash or spark fire Cotton
stored in suitable warehouses would
be evidence of progressive step, for
there is probably no crop of so great
value that is treated with so little
thoughtful consideration.-Sc

In order to attract the children OF

talks, music hours. classes in pure and
applied design and the educational
motion picture. Interest in visits to
the museum WAS first stimulated
through the medium of an organized
bird club Thousands Of children
have also been brought to the
museum during the last four years
By means OF the annual vegetable and
flower shows in which the children
have participated
THE Toledo museum was the first
to include motion pictures in it's .edu-
catiOnal plan when, In the autumn of
1915, the necessary equipment was
presented through the efforts of H. Y.
Barnes, then assistant to the di-
rector" writes Eula Lee Anderson of
Toledo This proved not only a fur
ther magnet to attract boys and girls
to the museum but a further means
of teaching art. During the first few
years films dealing with travel, crafts
and art were difficult to secure, yet by
diIigent search many fine things were
made available, including the life of
Palissy, the famous potter, and a
beautiful hand-colored film showing
the making of silk
"The policy of the museum is not
to amuse by means of the film, but
to educate the child along artistic
lines. using only such productions as
are of distinctly cultural quality"

1T Does and 1t Donlt
Does prohibition prohibit9
! 1t does and it don't.

1t does and it don't.
There is a class of citizens who
believesin the strict observance OF
a law as long as the law is on the
statue,books. With them prohi
. bition does prohibit, although
there are unquestionable times
when at least portion of them
feel that intense longing for a"nip,
says the Central City Register
= Call.
There is aaother class who are
law abiding in, other matters yet
who do not draw the distinction
quite as finely as the strict obser-
vers. With than prohibition does
not always prok1pil: for many OF
them wink one. ar both eyes when
there is an opporaunity to put a
little Joy into life.
There are still, others to whom
law is bat an odius restraint upon
their actions. They are becoming
rich from an illicit traffic in for
Didden booze.
But that is NOT all. There are
those who are slaves to drink, and
who would barter their souls for
a quart or pint, If they continue
to guzzle the wood alcohol aud the
other poisonous stuff that is sold
for whiskey they will soon have 20
souls left to barleE.
OF all the laws that have been
enacted by the congress of the Uni-
ted States, the prohib;tion act is
the most lamentable failure is so
far as enforcement is concerned.
1t is openly defied in aIisections
of-tbe country, and even people
who supported it at the polls are
beginning 10 wonder if the result
has been worth the effort.
Prohibition agents in the ser
vice of the government have con-
nived at its violation--for graft.
District attorneys are suspect
ed of having become suddenly
blind when men OF political infiu-
ence have been discovered in whole
sale liquor transactions,
State and municipal authorities
are masters of inactivity when it
comes to the prosecution of owners
of saloons where liquor is peddled
at sky limit prices.
And the courts-but we should
never criticise our fountains OF
Justice, except to wonder at times
whist is beneath the thin veneer
that cloaks at least a portion OF
them.
Does prohibition prohibit?
Even an answer to such ques-
tion is superfuous.
This is not an editorial in sup
port of prohibition nor is it one in
opposition to the cause,
1t is simply a cold statement OF
fact.
Congress made the law, and its
millions of friends rejoiced.
The government, with all of its
enormous resources and powers, is
apparently impotent to enforce it
And its opponents are jubilant.
That vast number of the popu-
lation who are between the two
camps, who are not radical in
either way, are rapidly becoming
weary of the whole subject.
To them it is national joke.
