COMPULSORY BILL TO
LOOK AFTER ROADS
Maintenance to Be Important
Feature in 1922 Highway
Campaign.

"A stitch in time saves nine" an,
when proved highways it means tn,
saving of hundreds of thousands of dol.
lars year to taxpayers.
Building the highest types of improv.
ed highways and then promptly forget
ting them, expecting them TO provide
their full measure of economic service
without further attention, must stop
This, in effect, is the demand of the
United States government as expressed
in the recently enacted federal aid bill
providing S75,OOO,O0O for road building in
I 1922.
The provision for compulsory mainte-
nance in the new federal aid bill is one
of its most important features. In har-
mony with the spirit of President Hard
ing's first message to congress- in which
he deprecated the failure to give proper
attention to roads after construction, the
new act lays a heavy penalty upon fail
ure to maintain roads to be constructed
with federal aid.
The act defines maintenance" in its
broadest sense as the constant making
of needed repairs to preserve u smooth
surfaced highway"
To insure that each highway aided by
the government will receive that kind of
maintenance, the act provides that the
secretary of agriculture shall serve no
tice upon any state which allows a road
to suffer for lack of maintenance.
If within niety days after notice the
proper attention has not been given to
the road. the secretary is authorized to
proceed to maintain it himself, and to
charge the cost against the federal
funds allotted to that state. The secre-
tary is further ordered to refuse to ap-
prove any other project in the state un-
til the amount spent for maintenance of
the project in question has been refund
ed by the state. When the money is paid
back it is to be ~reapportioncd among all
of the states so that the delinquent state
will lose all but a small portion.
Even the highest types of pavement re-
quire maintenance at some time or
other, but some more than others. A con-
crete pavement will crack at irregular
intervals. and these cracks must be
treated to keep the pavement from
quickly disintegrating. BituminOus pave
ments may roll up and develop bad spots
occasionally, which spots must be clean
ed out and restored. In brick pavements
there are times vFner some structural de-
feet needs to be remedIed 10 prevent isa-
pairment of the surface. In the case of
pavement types, including the
family. periodic restoration and
are necessary since the
advent of motor driven vehicles.
It is, therefore, to the interest of the
various states:
1. To consider. in the selection of
pavement types. the question of cost of
over the entire life of the
rather than the first cost |
alone.
2. To keep all pavements in a good
state of repair.
3. To keep complete, detailed and ac /
curate records of maintenance costs on
al types of pavements.

reprint from Labor Herald)

The public mind has become more
and more suspicious during the past
two years over the average announce
ment of sale-and rightly so. Un-
doubleday there have been any number
OF sales right here in Wilmington that
not only bordered on the illegitimate,
but were fake from the first line of ad-
vertising to the articles sold. The
Labor Herald, as part Of its duty to its
constituency, has pointed out number
of these colossal fakes, incepted merely
to get the public's money! s.stt.1oa. CIV
ing the purchasers a part of their
moneys worth.
Miller Bros. Co.. the large furniture
house at Ninth and King streets, of
which Nathan Miller is president, how
ever, is one house that always conducts
legitimate sale. 1t is now holding its
annual February ProGt-Sharing Furni-
ture Sale The Labor Herald has made
a complete investigation of this Mill
ers event. We went so far as to inves-
tigate all statements made in the pre-
Gminary advertising, saw the books,
and gained the satisfying knowledge
that MILLER BROS. co. FEBRU-
AIRY PROFIT T-SE4ARING SALE is
ABSOLUTELY LEGITIMATE.
What Miller Bros. Co. advertises, it
has in stool and the articles advertis-
ed are sold at the prices which appear
in the advertising. There is no fake to
it, as there has been with some sales
that have been heraIded broadcast, but
which 6zzled out because the public
soon got wise to the deceptions which
unscrupulous merchants wanted to put
over on the public

With the laudable desire to perpetu.
ate the hOusewifely lore of the famous
Delmarvia Peninsula, and to share
with the public in general those -delic-
iOus recipes which have tickled the
palate of the residents of that section
for the last two hundred years, the
Milford Chronicle Publishing Com
pany, of Milford, Del, has just issued
a second edition of "The Blue Hen S
Chickens Cook Book" The booklet,
containing 112 pages and more than a
hundred recipes, is just off the ChrOn-
icle press, and comes to us bound in a
neat buff cover on which is represent
ed the Blue Hen calling her brood,
probably to dinner.
The reviewer, being of the mascu-
line variety, and more accustomed to
results than methods in the gentle art
of cookery, and preferring far more to
review the aforesaid results on the
teeming board in front of him, is new
ertheless impressed by the excellence
of the gastrOnemic recipes laid before
him in print. Everything is provided
for, from soups to desserts, pickles
and preserves, finger rolls to peanut
brittle. In fact, it is a comprehensive
survey of the art of cookery, as prac-
ticed for centuries on the Eastern
Shore, in the form of directions which
have descended in the families of that
section in much the same way as heir
looms and family plate.
True, the wine list is somewhat
peaked and desOlate, with only such
intoxicating combinations as raspber-
ry, cherry and cider vinegar, infer
mented grape Juice and beef tea, but
this is 1922, and the letter of the law
must be followed. It is also a happy
coincidence that the recipe ITO Cook
Husband" is under the heading
Fish"
All departments are we'll cared for
in this cook book. There is a judicious
selection of recipes, and best are
culled, thus producing a booklet of
convenient size for quick use. The
recipes are standard, and have been
thoroughly tested.
We fail to note, however, - '
ence Of that most famous of all Sus-
sex dishes-hog jowl and turnip
greens. Probably this is still reserved
by the elect. And one might find the
Welsh rarebit difficult to prepare ow-
ing to one section which says: add
One-half glass beer or ale" Still, one
can try in this age of substitutes.
But the book, without doubt, will be
a splendid and much-desired addition
to the kitchen of the Delaware and /
Eastern Shore housewife. It is well !
tastefully gotten up, and re-
fleets credit on both the compilers of /
the recipes and the publishers of the /
booklet. An excellent book upon a /
most excellent subject.-W Wilmington /

A complete inspection of the Miller
Bros. Co. store proved to The Labor
Herald rather conclusively that the
sale the company is now conducting is
legitimate in every respect. The pub
lie can buy safely and wisely from the
Miller Bros. Co. stocks. And the same
courteous and painstaking considera-
ton will be given patrons as has all
ways been the case with this firm.
Miller Bros. Co. has lecyd of
which it may feel justky proud During
the industrial despression in the Viii
mington dlstf1ct, this firm which has
extended liberal credit to hundreds of
working people, has been truly consid-
crate of its customers and at no time
has it harassed the man who was un-
able to pay his bills because of being
out Of employment. Nathan Miller, the
president of the company, is too fine a
Wilmingtonian to forget his obliga-
tions to his fellow citizens He insists
on fair and considerate treatment, and
the customer gets it-that's all there is
to the transaction.
Bearing in mind these things, it is
no wonder that the February Profit
Sharing Sale is already going over the
top Volume of business is what the
firm is looking for, not profits on the
individual sale beyond the legitimate.
Miller Bros Co. is not a charitable in
stitution so it does not offer to give
furniture, carpets, draperies, ETC.,
away" 1t sells these lines---and sells
at mighty close margins of profit dur
ing he February Sale. And the same
liberal credit terms are extended to it's
friends in the whole territory the store
serves.
