the Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Warrington Herald:
That Ireland, notably the Province
of Ulster, contributed much of man.
power TO the American colonies is
an established fact. Much of wealth
also came with the Irish immi-
grants. as is thus evidenced:
"Marmion Urish historian) shows
that in l771. 1772 and 1773, eighty
eight passenger-carrying ships sail
ed for America from the ports Of
Belfast, Derry and Newry (Ulster).
and he estimates the number of
souls on board at not less than u.s.
900.
These emigrants.' says Marmion,
were chiefly farmers and manufac-
turers. who. IL is calculated, by con-
verting their property into specie.
which they took with them abroad,
deprived Ulster of one-fourth of its
circulating medium, which consisted
also of specie, and also a portion
equal thereto of the most valuable
part of the population Anthony

den Phase of American History" by
Michael O'Brien, page 237.
The industry of these people con-
tinued in the new land, and when
the revolutionary treasury needed
funds. it was replenished by these
lovers of liberty:
The Friendly Sons of st. Patrick
contributed to the revolutionary
treasury $4,000. an immense sum
in those days; and men of Irish birth
and blood stood high in the coun-
ellis of the revolutionary govern
ment."-"Ireland's Plea for Free

Independence Day.

A BIBLE student has said that the Bible is not

United States seems also to be that of inspired
people All through this history is found sequence
after sequence far beyond the initial and expressed
intention OF the people or their leaders.
The colonists were of the most courageous.
hardy and venturesome of their nationaites. With
Iainor exceptions, they inspired with longing
and purpose for greater freedom, of liberty
and less Of personal restriction. They were pre-
domirantly B-:tish. but from wherever they carie,
il was from restricted boundaries, cramped areas,
rather crowded conditions to the boundess extent
the enormous expanse of entire continent almost
unrnhzbited. They crossed an ocean to get here.

George III for general search warrants said it was

complex and powerful smokeless
variety supplanted IL, is the basis OF
fireworks that make a noise. The

outlawed are nothing but little

Sees Cruelty to Horse.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
As constant reader of your
paper and an American citizen I
wish to voice my sentiments re-
garding an incident which / wit
messed in our beautiful city Of
Washington on June %. on the
corner of Mount Vernon place and
Ninth street northwest. At about 2
p. m. there was a horse overcome by
heat. As 1t was a d. c. horse
nothing could be done until the ar
rival of the d. c. veterinary sur
geon, which was about twenty-five
minutes later. Upon his arrival a
hose was connected and water turn
ed on the animal which was lying
with its back down against the curb
ing. a position from which a per-
fectly well, strong horse could not
have risen. When the water had re-
vived the horse sufficiently, 1t was
allowed to rise and fall back against
the curbing which could easily have
been avoided ty holding the head
down, but instead it was allowed
to beat itself to death against the
curbing, one of the most cruel and
heartIess things 1t has ever been my
lot to witness.
Many of the bystanders. including
myself, appealed to the police on
behalf of the animal, but were told
that they could do nothing. because
1t was government horse, in
charge of government doctor.
This is very little thing in itself,
but ii caused a lot of unnecessary
suffering and the way in which we
handle little things is fair sam
pie of the way in which we would
handle big things and when given
serious thought it will make you
think of the following questions:
l.. Are the laws of our govern
ment so constructed that in case
like this the public or the civil of
ficers have no right to interfere. no
matter how great the wrong that is
being done?
2. Why will such absolute author
ity be vested in an Individual who
demonstrates the fact that he Is not
worthy of it?
3. Is that what is known as a
government, of the people, for the
people and by the people?
4. Have We any right in view OF

SOIL UNDER ROAD
As IMPORTANT As SURFACE

Suppose a road is built in diff
ferent parts OF the country, and that
the same design is used, with the
same kind OF concrete, the same
thickness. and the same kind of
workmanship. II would be expected
that one would stand up under traf-
1c as well as the other. That has
been the guess of many engineers
but they have found out that they
do not.
The kind of soil OF the subgrade
that holds up the surface Of the
road determines whether or not the
heavy pounding motor trucks that
have come into extensive use dur
ing the past ten years will gradual
ly smash the road or whether they
will carry the trafhc without harm.
The Bureau OF Public Roads OF
the Department Of Agriculture Is
conducting experiments under the
direction OF A. T. GoIdheck and r.
II. jackson on the soils that are en-
countered under roads, ana they are
making tests that win enable tb4
testing engineer to take a soil ipes
the laboratory and tell what pre-
cautions must be taken in building
road over il.
Practical road engineers know in
a general way that certain types OF
soils when saturated with water
have very little bearing value and i
that others have comparatively
high bearing value. They also
know in general that certain soils
are impervious but that when once
saturated are extremely hard to
drain and further that other soils,
owing to their porous structure,
drain very readily" they point out.
The laboratory has worked out a
series Of tests designed to give
some information regarding the
following physical properties OF
Subgrsde materials: graduation.
water-holding capacity. moisture
equivalent, vertical cspilIarity air
shrinkage. shaking time. cementinE
value and the percentage OF colloidzl
material as determined by adsorp-
tion. The relative bearing power OF
the soil under various conditions Of
density and moisture content Is also
being Investigated.
Examination OF the teeth OF an
cient Egyptian nummies shows that
the decay Of the teeth, pyorrhea
and other forms OF dental diseases,
occurred 5000 y~srs ago much as
they do today. The preservation Of
teeth by filing appears never to
have been discovered by the Egyp-
tian surgeons. Toothsche must have
been common. but was probably re-
garded as inevitable.
