Rubber Pavements.

rubber would be largely used in city
streets That. at least. is the infer.
ence to be drawn from experience
with rubber pavement in London. In
1881 the two roads under the hotel
at Euston station were paved with
rubber two inches thick. This pave
ment. under heavy traffic, remained
in continuous use for twenty-one
years. In 1902 it was renewed. hav-

original thickness. Lately a rubber
pavement has been laid in the court
yard of the Savoy Hotel. London.

THE WORK HABIT

It is commonly remarked that the great majority of the men who have gone on to big sueeesss were bred in the coun- try. There is a reason for that. From early life country boys and girls are given tasks to perform. The idle kid and street loafer, is an unusual character in rural community. Young folks get the habit of work ingraided in them. Faith ful, patient industry produces results, and if the young folks have it in them to rise, they are not held back by the handi- cap of loafing habits that is ac- quired in city life.

(Arkansas Democrat

Authorization for the pro- duction of a motion picture his tory of the United States, hay ing been given to the depart ment of education of Yale Uni versity, and preparations start ed for the carrying out of this tremendous contract, the press of the country has begun to speculate on just what it will include, and how much it will cost.
 That it will be very expen- sive undertaking, they all agree. At the same time, it is going to be a most valuable accomplishment, and values in a good many instances are based upon heavy expenses. It will take couple of years, per- haps, adequately to produce the screen story ot America. One would have to start, per haps with a story of what ex- isted here before Christopher Columbus stuck the nose of his three boats into the muddy waters of San Salvador. Then on through the spectacular cir cumstances which are so close ly joined to American develop ment, the landing of the pill grims,, the native ingenuity of the pioneers, the war of the revolution and other historical events will have to be screened.
 1t will take the best techni- cal skill available to produce the story of America in films. Yet the tremendous value of such a work can be understood from a mere reading of what is being planned. As an educa- tional work the story of the United States in motion pie lures will serve as no history of the written page possibly could serve, to stimulate the imagination of youths. And adults, too will find the inspir ation that is necessary at times to refresh their intellects and renew their patriotic zeal through this agency.

Battle Rages in Dublin--Three
 Killed, Twenty Injured

Dublin, Nov. 8 (By the Associated Press)-An attack with machine guns and rifles from nearby housetops was made by Irish republican forces here against the Wellington military bar racks this forenoon. Three national army soldiers were killed and 20 others wounded in the fighting which lasted two hours. The casualties suf- fered by the republicans were not learned.
 Numerous ambulances flew about the district picking up the wounded and taxing them to hospitals.
 At noon the area affected was under strong cordon composed of troops from the portobello barracks. 7 At the time of the attack which was opened at 9:30 o'clock the parade ground was filled with troops under drill. The attacking forces concealed on the reoftops on both sides of the barracks began a heavy fire at that hour, to which the garrison replied vigorously.
 Troops were rushed up from the portobello barracks and these joined in the fray drove the attacking par ties from their positions and pursued them in armored cars and lorries. a running fight being kept up for some distance. The residents of the dis trict hid away panic stricken while the fighting was in progress.
