Phoenix Built on Ruins.

BY far the most interesting remains
of the lost people of Arizona are their
network Of canals which prevail
through all the valleys. The longest
is the one tapping the ella river, and
which supplied with water the ancient
city. now marked with the one stand
ing building. This is the Casa Grande,
about which so much has been written,
and which has excited much interest
among achaeologists in the last ten
years.
The volume of water taken out by
this canal must have been immense.
for 1t supported millions of acres. In
most places the canal has been filled
with drifting sand. but Its course Is
easily traced. Engineers who located
the Mericopa canal made use OF the
old Aztec ditch. and today water runs
over its pebbly bottom just as 1t did
two thousand or three thousand years
ago.
For miles and miles around mounds
tell the tale of houses destroyed by
the ravages of time. Phoenix was
built on the ruins of this ancient city
and the relics frequently are found OF
this ancient civilization. - Detroit

FACTS ABOUT MILK AS FOOD
AZ an Article of Diet There Are Many
Things That Are Not Properly
Understood.

The use of milk as food has been
so extensively exploited by the milk
interests that there exists somewhat
erroneous idea about ii which re-
cent speaker. before the American Ped
iatric society, is endeavOring to cor
rect.
These errors principally concern the
group of children between the ages or
l and 6 years. These errors might be
classified under the headings: ID
Prolonged use of milk as an exclusive
article of diet. (2) Increased guam
titles Of milk given along with other
foods.
Milk might not only be used too
long as an exclusive article of diet ana
in excessive quantities with other
foods. but its nutritiOnal value might
be injured by boiling.
The laity were taught, and rightly
so. that milk was an ideal breeding
place for germs. and that the growth
of these germs might be inhibited by
keeping the milk on ice. or the milk
might he brought to boil. The use
of boiled milk was becoming more
prevalent, and many injuries to nutri
ton occurred.

TOOLS NEEDED FOR GARDENS
Expensive Implements Are Not Nee
essary-Spade, Hoe and Rake
Are Most Essential.

1t is surprising how few tools are
needed to care properly for a small
home garden. Expensive equipment
is not necessary. A spade or spading
fork, a hoe, and a steel rake are the
essential garden tools. To these
should be added two wooden stakes,
and q strong string to serve as line
for making straight rows. A watering
can and a trowel are desirable but
not absolutely necessary. Where the
garden work is to be carried on rath-
er extentively, it is good plan to
have wheel hoe. or combination
seed drill and wheel hoe.

GOOD
GRAVEL FOR ECONOMIC ROAD
Summary o. Important Points Brought
Out in Recent Address by Wiscon-
sin Engineer.

Gravel roads are given strong rec
ommendatiOn as economic highways by
A. Il. Hirst. Wisconsin state highway
engineer. Not only so, but he IS OF
the firm opinion that the economic
service of a gravel road is proportion
ate TO its worth. In other words, II
gravel roadway 16 feet wide has lie
or service of three to five years theh
the addition of 10 feet will increase
IFS serviceable life to six or possibly
ten years.
"These figures are not dehnite'
SAYS Mr.. Hirst, they merely express
the comparison which it is sought 10
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 import
ant address on this subject ana the
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
ly and inexpensively.
2 Preliminary traffic censuSes are
yalueless as aids in pavement type Sc
| lection.
3. Traffic counts have value only In
| giving information upon trafnc
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 be borne by roads Of varying classes
of Importance.
6. All highways cannot be made 10
ton highways every day In the year.
Z. Expressed in terms of real serv
ice value. type means little unless So
The Madison journal. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1888-current, 1921-04-23

lection of it is supplemented by proper
design and layout.
s. The road problem is not to build
a few boulevards but a transportation
system.
9. We have thought too little about
the basic function Of highways-the
Offering of facilities for travel.
10. A striking feature of highway
construction, reconstruction and main
tenance has been an almost total dis
regard of comfort, convenience and
economy of operation in the interests
of the travelling public.
IL. The one permanent thing about
road work is proper grading on cor
rect locations.
u. The highway user knows little
about pavement economics; but he
does know where and when he broke
the last spring.
13. We have used too much mathe-
mates and too little common sense.
IA. Our owners demand service and
service they must be given.
Is. Maintenance is the keystone OF
the entire structure of pavement serv'

Two Poison Antidotes.

The old method of administering
an emetic in case of poisoning mas
given way to lavage of the stomach
which is claimed to have many az
vantages over the older process. This
flushing of the stomach must be thor-
oughly done and water must be taken
at close intervals until about 10 plnts
have been consumed. This Is fol-
lowed by a quantity Of animal char-
coal taken into the stomach to insure
the absorption of any poison which
may be left. This takes the place OF
old antidotes, although there Is noth-
ing TO hinder one from adding some
of the usual antidotes to the wafer
made use of for flushing purposes.

SOME LOGIC; LITTLE REASON
Examination Papers Turned in by
Youngsters Proved They Gave

"Ten me all you know about GEN.

The response Of one boy TO this
demand in a recent examination was
as follows:
"A centaur was ancient cavalry ana
archery all in one piece. He could not
be knocked out of his saddle because
he didn't have any, being the same
person as his horse. If he needed
stable he did not need tent. | 90

age he did not need rations, or if he
needed rations he did not need for
age"
Evidently the youngster who gave
that reply was of a military inclination,
and had thought out for himself the
advantages of centaurs on the fighting
line. 1t was funny, but not unin-
telligent. Less original, with only one
little slip indeed to mar its accuracy.

story of the GorgOns.
"The Gorgons," he began confident
ly. were three sisters that lived in
the islands of the Hesperides, some
where in the Indian ocean. They had
long snakes for hair, tusks for teeth
and claws for nails. and they looked
like women. only more horrible"

definition of the minOtaur has long

Color and Light.

To get color and light is the great
thing. The difficulty is TO get them
both. Turner. in his Italian hnd-
scapes, enhanced the color of his sky
by dark pine-tree in the foreground
sacrificing the color of the tree for
the sake of accenting its value and
warmth; and the old landscape

used for the same end-to make the
blue of the sky and distance more
luminous and beautiful. This Is also
the reason for the dark-brOwn fore
