ful account will be- kept ofgthe cost Misrepresentation,
the cost will not govern this building. asS the purposesis
not to show how inexpensivelyS q good road can be built,
but what constitutes the perfect road, regardless Sof cost.
The construction. will be Of the hest quality OF, concrete.
reinforced by steel rods and wires, a. this has been found
to be most effective. While this form OF construction
is costly. 1t Is nevertheless one OF the cheapest per mile
per year for maintenance. $s8
This roadway will be in the form OF q continuous
slab ten inches In thickness. Drainage will be provided
SO that the sub-soil will retain rs uniform consistency.
and, there will be none Of the settling or breaking through
which is the curse Of the Improperly laid concrete road.
This will be built In . location readily accessible
and will be designed to carry the maximum amount OF
trafhc which can be expected of any country road This
is based upon an average. daily trafac of 5000 passen-
ger cars, travelling at thirty-five miles per hour, and 5000
motor trucks, travelling at ten miles per hour. sg
Although the roadway itself will be but forty feet
wide, it has been found advisable to secure q right Of
way at least one hundred feet wide. This additional
right of way will make possible the eventual widening
Of the ideal stretch of road, and will provide for the con-
struction of plaxas or .turn-outs'' at frequent Intervals,
at which vehicles may: be turned aside for tire-changfng
and the like. The view of intersecting roads Is to be undis-
turbed for five hundred feet on either side Of the cross
ing. which means that all buildings. trees and shrubs will
be removed for that distance in all four directions. The
roadway will be artificially illuminated At, night. All
electric wires. including lighting, power, telegraph and
telephone, will be laid underground

GIDTT

A classic has been described as a book which evAy.
one admires and no-one reads. Perhaps Kipling may be
passing into that class. His books are not read AZ wide-
ly now. as they were when they were published. One Of
his shorter articles, and from some sstandpeints one Of
his best, was that entitled. 1.-THE Ship That Found Itself"
How many OF us have read it? How many Of US have
forgotten it? .
1t is a good story. It tells Of = ship on its first voy-
age, fresh from the ways, spick and span in every par
ticular. with joints tight, beams strong and sturdy, and
all its appointments such as to make 1t sea-worthy and
Trustworthy. This ship had quite a time on that first
trip. It's various parts had not adjusted themselves to
each other or fitted themselves into their new functions
The prevailing characteristics throughout the structure
was that Of risidity. Everything was sti6 and 3unyieldins,
As the waves struck it and tended to twist it back and
forth the beams resisted and the joints creaked and
|groaned. The. engine parts had not yet fitted themselves
into their places and worked with dimcultyg and com.
planning The main shaft refused to yield to any of the
stresses and strains placed upon 1t, and again there were
greater part of the voyage, but little by little the parts
learned to yield. each a little to its %netghbor, and IN place
lof riEidity and grooming and grating, there came about
elasticity, a slight yielding to pressure and the springins
back into place, first Of one part and then another, in
NO case impairing the. strength of the structure, hut al
tle;. and and in process of time the ship found itself and
became q competent and Trustworthy vessel.
Human society is like Kiplinss ship. It's members
must exist together, and are often bound together in very
close companionship. II. the principle of rightly pre-
wallis there are groanings and mutterinss and complain
ing. Where none will yield a little to his neighbor there is
friction and sometimes a generation of heat, and. so
long as the voyage proceeds under these conditions, the
whole structure is subjected to strains which may be
disastrous to 1t. But in the well ordered society there is
created aHcondition Of elasticity similar to that, which pre-
walls on the seasoned ship and then when each member
learns to yield just a little at the opportune time the
whole structure is saved from uncomfortable and some
times disastrous wrenches.

TRYING r. OVER AGAIN.

The stories OF the PUEBLO disaster have brought
to . good many OF us quite new Information. Most of
us knew that there was such a thriving city somewhere
in Colorado. but just where it was. and what conditions
surrounded it were known only to the comparatively few
who have had occasion to, travel that way. We who were
less well informed have learned that Pueblo is situated at
the junction of the Arkansas and Fountain rivers, both Of
which have their sources in the mountainous districts
toward the Divide. Snow on the mountains. melting,
sends torrents OF water down the mountain sides, and
this, finding its way into the rivers, always produces
more or less pronounced flood conditions. Ordinarily
this condition passes without material damage, as those
living in the vicinity have learned about what to expect,
and to be on their guard against it. But when the rela-
lively small floods from the mountains are reinforced
by sudden torrential rains, the ordinary flood marks are
far surpassed, and disaster results. Fortunately, this
combination, is of rare occurrence. On only two former
occasions since the city became of some importance has
this happened, and the intervals between the disastrous
floods have been so great that each has about been for
gotten before the next occurred. During the past thirty
years all homes have been built on a large area certain
to be swept whenever extraordinary floods occurred. It
was here that there was the greatest loss Of life.
Great calamities soon pass into history. Nearly two
thousand years ago vesuvius buried the two prosperous
cities at its base under great beds OF ashes and lava. But
presently the peasantry from the surrounding districts
began to push their vineyards closer and@closer to the
crater until the very sides. of the mountain again be-
came populous., Then came another violent eruption,
and the population was wiped out In the centuries that
have passed several generations OF settlers on the sdes
of vesuvius have been destroyed. And yet the same proc
es is being repeated, and another crop is being got ready
for the harvest. 20 &

of st. Pierre, with the exception of one poor crazed in
dividual. was killed by the blast which blew the top of
the mountain and left the city a ruin. Yet today st. Pierre
is being repeopled. A new lot Of people are taking their
chance with the mountain.
And at Pueblo the process H. being repeated. In
spite OF the fact that q large part OF the main city IL in.
"a dangerous position, there Is NO thought Of abandoning
it. Ruined structures are to be repaired and others Will
be rebuilt And even the fats win again be inhabited,
unless steps to prevent 1t are taken.
It IL obviously impossible anywhere On earth to ind
a. place which Is absolutely safe. But it seems that there
might we'll be an avoidance Of such risk as that which
round Pueblo.

MpEuEar AND OBSCENE.

E The federal court of appeals of the District OF CO.
lumbia has rendered an important decision in a newspa-
per case which has become celebrated. 1t has placed
newspaper articles melting to violent attacks on the.
government in the same class with the indecent and OBJ
scene articles the publication of which warrants the ex-
cluaon Of the offending publications from the mails.
;s The New York Call was denied second class mail
privileges during the war by Postmaster General Burle.
son because of the radical and inflammatory character
OF its utterances. The Call appealed to the district court,
which issued a mandamus. compelling the postmaster
general to restore the privilege. From this decision an
appeal was taken to the court of appeals, and this court
has reversed the decision Of the lower court, thus sus-
tanning the department in its action. While the SUIT
has been pending Postmaster General Hays, in a pub
lshed statement, declared his intention to restore the
mailing privilege, not only to the Call and the Milwau-
kee Leader, both Socialist publications. but to- the Lber7
ator, an anarchist sheet. While the court decision places
the subject directly within the jurisdiction OF the post
office department, it will not necessarily. affect the deci-
sion Of Mr.. Hays. as it will be for him to use his discretion
i~n.admitting to or excluding from mailing privileges these
or any other papers. ssss
s#aH1n his statement Mr.. Hays did not undertake to de-
fend the papers which had been deprived: of mailing priv
ileges. His position was that there was no losic in ex-
Guiding them from the privilege of second class mailing
rates and admitting them to carriage at higher rates.
which had been done He said that he would restore
them to the old rates, and would expect them to be held
accountable for any violation Of the law. The supreme
courts decision is an Interpretation of. the law. The
postmaster generals statement is a declaration Of policy.
It is interesting to note the character Of the matter
which has appeared in the offending papers, excerpts from
which are given in the courts opinion. Among them are
the following:
