Cures of Early Days,

Some idea of the state of the medi- cal profession in the early colonial pc riod of America can be gained by read ing a prescription recommended by Sir Kenelm Digby, an eminent Eng fish writer, to John Winthrop, Jr, in 1856. The medicine was for "miracu. lous cures in all sorts of vicers, and by knitting soddainly broken bones." Here is the prescription:
 "Beate to subtle pouder one ounce of crabbes eyes, then putt upon 1t in high glass (because of the Ebulli- tion) four ounces of strong vinegar. It will instantly boyle up extremely i; let it stand till all be quiett; then strain it through a fine linon; and of this liquor (which will then taste like dead beere without any sharpness) give two spoOnfuls att a time to drink three times; and you shall see a strange effect in weeke or two"

ALLOW FOR FUTURE TRAFFIC
Count of Automobiles on Number of Roads in Tennessee Shows Sur
 prising Fact
(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture)

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agricultrre)
 In building a road liberal allowance should be made for future increase in traffic, says the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture A traffic count conducted by the bureau in cooperation with Tennessee officials on a number of roads in Davison county, in which Nashville is located, shows surprising facts when compared with a similar count in 1916. During this period au- tomobile registrations have doubled. while the number of motor vehicles on the roads is five times as great as in 1916 In 1916 horse-drawn and motor vehicle traffic were almost equal in volume. In 1921 horse-drawn traffic had increased only slightly in volume and constituted 16 per cent of the traffic, motor vehicles constituting S4 per cent.
 Observations in this and other coun- tries lead to the conclusion that vol ume of traffic may increase in much greater proportion than the number of motor vehicles and will also depend to large degree on the condition of improvement of the road and on the economic conditions in the adjacent territory.

Development of the Key Reveals an Interesting Story of Ages Long
 Passed Away.

The modern lock is a development of the horizontal bar placed across the inside of the door. This was good substitute for a lock when one remained inside, aEl to adjust it so that 1t would fall into place when the door was closed from the outside was comparatively simple, but to lift the bar from the outside when one wished to enter, was the problem. This was accomplished by fitting hole into the door post, through which something designed to lift the bar was inserted. This was the first keyhole and the instrument used in lifting the bar was the first key, says the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
 The simplest idea for preventing the bar from sliding was to bore a hole in the top of the bar, which would also penetrate the staple on which 1t rested, and drop a peg into the hole through the staple. The un- locking problem could be accom- plished by any instrument which would lift the peg and permit the bar to slide back. Then If a series of pegs were used, all of which had to be lifted, unlocking would be more diff ficult. In our modern locks, the pegs have simply been replaced by "tum- blers" on which the key acts in the same way. The key originally had wooden pegs fastened to correspond with the pegs holding the bar in place on the inside, and these pins developed

ROADS IN FEDERAL-AID PLAN
System Designed to Serve Whole Country and Will Be 1s0,000
 Miles in Length.

The chief of the bureau of public roads of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture will probably never personally inspect all of the system of federal-aid roads provided for by the federal highway act and for which initial appropriations have been made.
 The system is being designed to serve the whole country and will be approximately S0,OOO miles in length Should he make an inspection. travel ing at the rate of 30 miles an hour, 8 hours a day on all working days. and not go over any mile twice, it would require nearly two and one half years to complete the job.

some reason or other, Bromfield was in state of collapse this morning the valet could not understand. The mans business was to protect him until he had recovered. But he could not flat ly turn his masters fiancee out of the apartment. His eyes turned to Whit ford and found no help. there. He fell back on the usual device of servants.
 q don't really think he can see you, miss. The doctor has specially told me to guard against any excitement. But I'll ask MT. Bromfield Tiff he feels up to it."
 The valet passed into what was evil dently bedroom and closed the door behind him. There was a faint mur- mur of voices.
 "Fm going in now" Beatrice an- nounced abruptly to her father.
 She moved forward quickly, before Whitford could stop her, whipped open the door and stepped into the room. Her father followed her re- luctantly.
 Clarendon, in a frogged dressing gown, lay propped up by pillows. Be- side the bed was a tray, upon which was a decanter of whisky and a siphon of soda. His figure seemed to have fallen together and his scanned face was that of an old man. But 1t was the eyes that held her. They were full of stark terror. The look in them took the girls breath. They told her that he had undergone some great shock.
 He shivered at sight of her. What Is it, Clary?" she cried, nov ing toward him. "Tell me-tell me all about It."
 "-Im ill.," He quaked 1t from a burning throat.
 "You were all right yesterday. Why are you ill now?"
 He groaned unhappily.
 "You're going to tell me everything everything"
 His fascinated, frightened eyes clung to this straight, slim girl whose look stabbed into him and shook his

As a feeble camOuflage of its real reason for being. Maddock's called itself the "Omnium club" But when Clay found how particular the door keeper was as to those who entered he guessed at once it was a gambling house.
 From behind a grating the man peered at them doubtfully. Bromfield showed a card, and after some hesi- tation on the part of his inquisitor, passed the examination. Toward Clay the doorkeeper jerked his head inquir- ingly.
 He's all right" the clubman vouched.
 Again there was a suspicious and lengthy scrutiny.
 The door opened far enough to let them slide into a scantily furnished hall. On the landing was another guard, a heavy. brutal-looking fellow

 Nothing to tell" he got out with a gulp.
 "Oh, yes, you have. Are you i'll be cause of what happened at Mad dock's?"
 He tried to pull himself together, to stop the chattering of his teeth.
 "N-nonsense, my dear. I'm done up completely. Delighted to see you and all that, but Won't you go home" His appealing eyes passed to Whit ford. Cant you take her away"
 "No, I won't go home-and he can't take me away" Her resolution was hard as steel. It seemed to crowd in- exorably upon the shivering wretch in the frogged gown. What Is it you're so afraid to tell me, Clarendon?"
 He Quailed at her thrust. "What- what do you mean?"

Johnnie and Kitty appeared round the corner. Both of them had the news of a catastrophe written on their faces. A very little encouragement and they would be in tears.
 "Ain't 1t tur'ble, Miss Beatrice? They done got Clay at last. After he made 'em all look like plugged nickels they done fixed 1t so he'll mebbe go to the electric chair and"
 "Stop that nonsense, Johnnie," or dered Miss Whitford sharply, a pain stabbing her heart at his words. Don't begin whining already. We've got to see him through. Buck up and tell me what you know"
 "That's right, Johnnie," added the mining man. You and Kitty quit looking like the Atlantic ocean in dis tress. We've got to endure the grief and get busy. We'll get Lindsay out Of this hole all right"

MINIMUM WIDTH OF HIGHWAY
Least Eighteen Feet Wide for Safety of All Concerned.

 of Agriculture-1
 A minimum width of IS feet for hard-surface. roads is recommended by the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agricul- ture. The maximum width of truck body generally permitted is feet. and 51a feet is the ordinary clearance width of automobiles. At an average speed of 30 miles an hour it is un- reasonable to expect the driver of an automobile to drive with the wheels closer than 11a feet to the edge of the pavement, says the bureau. For trucks at an average speed of 15 miles an hour, this distance should not

CHAPTER XVI
Bee Makes a Morninq Call.

Colin Whitford came into the room carrying a morning paper. His step was hurried. his eyes eager. When he spoke there was the lift of excitement in his voice.
 Bee. I've got bad news"
 "Is the Bird Cage flooded?" asked Beatrice. "Or have the miners called strike againT
 Worse than that. Lindsay's been arrested. For murder"
 The bottom fell out of her heart. She caught at the corner of a desk to steady herself. Murder! It can't be ! Must be some one of the same name."
 T reckon not. honey. It's Clay sure enough. Listen" He read the head lines of front-page story.
 Tt can't be ClayI What would he be doing in a gambling-dive" She reached for the paper, but when she had 1t the lines blurred before her eyes. Read it, please"
 Whitford read the story to the last line. Long before he had finished, his daughter knew the one arrested was Clay. She sat down heavily, all the life stricken from her young body.
 Its that man Durand. He's done this and fastened it on Clay. We'll find a way to prove Clay didn't do It."
 Maybe, In self-defense-"
 Beatrice pushed back her fathers hesitant suggestion, and even while she did it wave of dread swept over her. The dead man was the same criminal "Slim" Jim Collins whom the cattleman had threatened in order to protect the Millikan girl. The facts that the man had been struck down by a chair and that her friend claimed, according to the paper, that the gun man had fired two shots. buttressed the solution offered by Whitford. But the horror of 1t was too strong for her. Against reason her soul protested that Clay could not have killed a man. It was too horrible, too ghastly, that through the faults of others he should be put in such a situation.
 And why should her friend be in such place unless he had been trapped by the enemies who were de- termined to ruin him? She knew he had contempt for men who wasted their energies in futile dissipations He was too clean. too much a son of the wind-swept desert, to care any thing about the low pleasures of in- decent and furtive vice. He was the last man she knew likely to be found enjoying a den of this sort.
 Dad, I'm going to him." she an- nounced with crisp decision.
 Her father offered no protest. His impulse, too. was to stand by the friend in need. He had no doubt Clay had killed the man, but he had a sure conviction 1t had been done in self-de- fense.
 "Wel get the best lawyers in New York for him, honey" he said. "No- body will slip anything over on Lind say if we can help It.
 twill they let us see him? Or shall we have to get permission from some one"
 "Well have to get an order. I know the district attorney. He'll do what he can for me, but maybe it'll take time"
 Beatrice rose, strong again and re- silent. Her voice was vibrant with confidence. "Then after you've called up the district attorney, we'll drive to Clay's fiat in Harlem and find out from Johnnie what he can tell us. Perhaps he knows what Clay was doing in that place they raided."
 It was not necessary to go to the Runt. He came to them. AS Beatrice and her father stepped into the car

be less than 1% feet on account of the great width of the rear wheel Three feet seems to be a minimum safe clearance between bodies. Inas- much as a certain amount of truck traffic is to be expected on all main country roads, the minimum width of surface should be IS feet to provide these clearances when an automobile meets a truck.
 Where the frequency with which trucks pass each other becomes a big factor, as in the neighborhOod of large cities, the minimum width of pave ment should be 20 feet to provide a clearance of 31a feet and safe dis tance of wheels from edge of pave ment.
