DELVING INTO MOTHER EARTH
Man Has Gone Far Underground In
Search of Riches That She
Has Concealed.

For centuries man has been engaged
in burrowing his way deeper and
deeper into the crust of old Mother
Earth, in order to extract the minerals
which she hides beneath her surface.
century ago 1000 feet was thought
to be a stupendous depth for any
shaft; for in those days there were
no engines capable of pumping from
greater depths, and no system of ven
tilation had been devised which would
make it possible to work in galleries
at a greater distance from the surface.
Coal pits over 5000 feet deep are
now fairly common in England, while
Belgium has two which exceed 1000
feet in depth.
But coal is not alone in having deep
pits. There is in Australia a silver
mine whose bottom is $500 feet below
the surface, while a gold mine at Ben
digo. in Australia, has been sunk to
1900 feet.
A famous Transvaal gold-mining
company is sinking a shaft which,
when complete, will measure more
than 1000 feet.

Synopsis-Proud possessor of a
printing press and equipment, the
gift of Uncle Joseph to his nephew,
Herbert Illingsworth Atwater, Jr.,
aged thirteen, the fortunate youth,
with his chum, Henry Rooter,
about the same age, begins the pub
lication of a full-hedged newspaper.

bert's small cousin, Florence At
water, being barred from any kind
of participation in the enterprise,
on account of her intense and nat
ural feminine desire to BOSS" is
frankly annoyed, and not at all
backward in saying so. However,
a poem she has written is accepted
for insertion in the OriOle, on a
strictly commercial basis-cash in
advance. The poem suffers some
what from the ineXperience of the
youthful publishers in the "art
preservative." Her not altogether
unreasonable demand for republi-
cation of the masterpiece, with its
bauty unmarried, is scorned, and
the break between Miss Atwater
and the publishers of the Oriole
widens. The Sunday following,
Florence's particular chum, Patty
Fairchild. pays her a visit. They
are Joined, despite Florence's OPEN
ly expressed disapproval, by Her
bert and Henry. Florence will not

ton and answer, both to be kept a
profound secret The agreement is
duly carried out.

EFFECT OF SUN ON CLOTHING

But light Is selective in its action.
A dark fabric is less affected than one
which is brightly colored. So that a
Brlton's love for drab-cOlored clothing
cannot entirely be condemned.
Not all fabrics are affected alike,
for while wool and silk rapidly deterl-
crate In strong sunlight, cotton and
linen are much more resistant.

Some fabrics are most susceptibIe to
certain kinds of microbes, and these
flourish best under warm and moist

frequently brushed free from dust.
Cotton and wOolen fibers are worry

In spite of this. however, it would
not be economical to use all cotton
clothing, since colors fade more rapid
ly on cotton than on wool. When
dyed woOlen fabric is exposed to sum
light, the fabric is attacked first and
the dye is thereby partly protected. In
the cotton fabric the dye protects the

any, will be other than water concrete. There VIII
be but one roadway for all classes OF vehicles, the
travel in that State being far from reaching the con-
gested condition frequently found in the East But
it fixes there, the admirable policy that those who
use and destroy, must build and maintain.
What experience is demonstrating In this more
populous section and will there, is the need OF
double, probably parallel system of main high
ways The one for the lighter swifter moving, less
destructive passenger cars, and the other for the
slower moving, heavier, freight-carrying trucks
Construction would materially differ for the two
classes of traffic. From sub-base to wearing course,
the trucking highway needs to be much stronger
both in carrying capacity and in wearing stability.
1t may be proved that wearing surface readily re-
moved and replaced will be the economical
for trucks. but under this must be cohcrete sus-
tanning base far richer in cement than yet used
in double-course road street.
Another very valuable feature of the Minnesota
plan, is that it relieves all State political subdivisions
from the burden of building and maintaining the
main highways. All county and township road
funds can, therefore, be used the laterals, the
feeders to small communities, and the individual
fsrm-wsys. AS a whole the plan deserves the
study of all road officials of State and county Off
GERS and also, of land owners and taxpayers. 1t
seems fundamentally just and the answer to many
road problems which vex Virginia and other East
ern States.

Swat the FH.

THERE is one man, at least, in Washington
i who does not believe the houseHy IS such a
devil he is credited. r. H. Atkinson writes to
The Herald: "Apropos of the death-dealing prppen-
stiles of the houseAy, of which we hear so much,
will you please tell me why the human did not
disappear from the earth long ago? Personally i
think the danger is exaggerated" 1t is always well
to have portion of heresy to favor the faith, and
bit of the salt of unbeef to make dogma pal
atable.
1t is rather startling to think that anyone can
doubt that when fly lights on the butter, it does
not leave death behind. 1t is gratuitous to thrust
into the happy realm of facing death with every
fly, the persistency of the Indian and other savage
peoples, as we'll the fact that there still de-
scendants of the Mayfower and that the Indians,
perhaps, killed in those early days than the fly.
1t is not good form to inject controversy into
the bissful realm of conviction, into the joy of an
ever present danger Yet there is occasionally one
who believes that the househy is but dirty beast,
to be killed as others Of its kind. That the clean
lness which reaches to Goodness, is indicative of
the dixie condition of perfect health That the
houseAy where tolerated, is but evidence of the
tolerance of other kinds of uncleanness. That its
presence in mitancy is but proof of that condition
of indifference which rejoices in filth and that dis
ease comes from this filth and not from the fly,
which is merely a witness.
There are even those who claim that unclean-
ness is but indicative of habit of mind wrong
attitude toward life, being out Of harmony with
the divine intention and that it is in such a mind

The Lee Mansion

EVERYONE throughout this country, North and
- South, should surely indorse the movement to
make of the Robert'E. Lee mansion at Arlington a
fitting memorial 1t is not dilapidated 1t is in
good repair, but it is far from what it should be.
1t should be completely renovated and made beau
tfu inside it is in its architecture 1t should be
furnished so far as possible with what be gath
cred of furnishings that Gen. Lees, or of his
family 1t should be in every feature typical of the
South of his day.
The building and, so far possible, the imme-
diate grounds should be screened from any obtrud,
ing view of monuments and graves. The mansion
should be as little as possible part of or ad-
junet to the cemetery. AS far may be it should
be beautiful example of the old home of the
Southern gentleman and memorial of the then
owner, who came from civil war, with honor, dig
nifty and as an American of Americans.
AS it is, it is not credit to this government,
or people. The only approach is through the
seemingly endless rows upon rows of graves. The
magnificent view from the front over the wooded
hills and valleys, the city of Washington and the
wndings of the Potomac, is broken in the fore
ground by obstructing and intruding monuments to
the dead. Inside it is barren, empty, hollow, de-
pressing. There should be something at Arlington,
and this should be the Lee mansion, which carries
a measure of solace, which speaks of home life, Of
family bonds, of what is sweetest truest and best
in our national life 1t should tell of the home for
which soldiers died and that home preserved should
show that they have not died in vain.
