On hot day last summer an ex.
press train between Philadelphia and
New York CAME to a jolting halt, says
Nations Business. The passengers
first Joked, then tgrumbled, then grew
impatient. A big man, white-haired,
but youthful in motion, climbed down
from chairc3r and marched up to
the engine, which was the center Of
a ring Of passengers. <
'"What's wrong?" he asked. *.
In effect, the engineer said that the
engine had quilt and he didn't know
what the several things was the mat

Half an hour later he emerged with

said, "She's all right now" put coat

GRAVEL FOR q i ECONOMIC q ROAD
Summary o. Important Points Brought
Out in Recent Address by Wiseon.
sin Engineer.

Gravel roads are given a strong rec
ommendation as econ Omic highways by
A. r. Hirst, Wisconsin state highway
engineer. Not only so, but he Is OF
the firm opinion that the economic
service Of gravel road is proportion
ate to its worth. In other words, If
gravel roadway 16 feet wide has a life
or service Of three to five years. then
the addition Of 10 feet will increase
its serviceable life to six or possibly
ten years.
"These figures are not definite"
says Mr.. Hlrst, "they merely express
the comparison which it is sought to
emphasize. Moreover this comparison
does not hold true. nor Is any broad
assertion of the worth Of gravel roads
quite true unless there Is continuous
maintenance. Wherever gravel roads
are giving notable service good main-
tenance Is as much the reason as Is
good construction in the first place."
Mr.. Hirst recently gave an impork
ant address on this subject, and II
following is a condensed summary Of
the main points in his discussion:
1. The prime factor in determining
the relative service value Of highways
is whether they serve traffic effective
Iy and ineXpensiyey.
/ 2. Preliminary traffic censuses are
valueless as aids in pavement type Sc.
lection.
3. Traffic counts have value only in
giving information upon traffic
changes, and operation costs over
varying pavement surfaces.
4. What has been is no indication
of what will be.
5. States must adopt uniform loads
to he borne by roads Of varying classes
Of Importance.
G. All highways cannot be made IT,
ton highways every day in the year.
7. Expressed in terms Of real serv-

That 80 per cent OF the Japanese
living in the sugar plantation camps
Of Hawaii never have been touched
by Christian propaganda, and that
American plantation owners, managers
and others who have helped support

foolish thing, If ever man did, were
two Of the statements made by Rev.
Ulysses G. Murphy, representative OF
the American Bible society, in q re-
cent address at Honolulu.
Rev. Mr.. Murphy also said that the
elder generation Of Japanese living
in the plantation camps. owing to their
isolation, are forty years behind their
native country in thought and under
standing Of modern conditions.
4. Any attempt at Americanization OF
the japanese in Hawaii which leaves
untouched their home life and fails
to recognize that the key to the prob
lem is the Japanese language schools
Is foredoomed to failure, Rev. Mr..
Murphy declared.

Few Have Seen Radiun,.

Radium is u metal that is described,
as having white metallic luster. 1t
has been isolated only once or twice.;
and few persons have seen it 1t is
ordinarily obtained from its ores in
the form Of shlphate, chloride or bro
imide, according to the United States
geological survey, Department Of the
Interior. and 1t is in the form Of these
salts that it is usually sold and used.
These are all white or nearly white
substances, whose appearance is no
more remarkable than that Of common
salt or baking powder. Tubes con-
tanning radium salts glow mostly be-,
cause they include impurities which
the ra,liafIons from the radium cause
to give light. Radium minerals are

COUNT ON US GIRLS
TO HAVE BUSY TIME

The Count On Us Club of the Girl
Reserves, which for many months has
been the largest in the organization,
has been divided into two parts, the
younger girls retaining the name
Count On U.s. and the older ones
branching out under new sobriquet,
which has not yet been decided upon.
New officers have been elected to
serve the separate clubs, having TAX
en- their oaths of allegiance on Wed
nesday of this week. The officers
for the Count On Us Club are:
Patra Andrews, president.
Doris Mattson, vice president.
and for the older girls club:
Thelma Purvis, president.
Lavada Murray, vice=president;
Ida Welsh, secretary;
Viola Mattson, treasurer.
Through this division the nucleus
OF two very powerful clubs has been
formed. The new Count On Us Club
now numbers fourteen charter mem
bers and will enroll grade school girls
OF II, IL and Is years of age, who
are in the 5th, 9Th and 7th grades.
The older girls club has charter
membership of eighteen and will, af-
ter school promotions have been
made, be partly grade and partly a
nigh school club. Membership in this
club will be open to girls between
3 and 16 years of age, who are in
either the upper grammar school
grades or have entered the high
school. It viii lot, however, be per-
mitted TO have high school club
constitution until the majority of it's
members are attending the High
school.
The policy of this school shall be
one Of friendliness toward all eligible
girls and their aim, to find at least
seventeen more girls who, like them
selves, have the ideals of the Girl
Reserve code at heart and who are
willing to help make this new club,
now numbering eighteen members,
the happiest, best and strongest club
in the organization.
The present members of each of
these new clubs are working hard
for 260 honors apiece which will en-
title them to the pin and ring of the
National Girl Reserves, and Miss Voss
has promised special recognition to
the club which first attains its 100
per cent standard. Miss E. Jarvis
will continue as leader of the Count
On-Us group and Miss Voss will en-
deavor to find as suitable leader for
the older girls.
