Here Is A Chance
To Save Money

| Everybody likes to save money, bu
the question so often is how ant
where can we save?"
Some people are too FAR sighted
on this question. They overlook then
best chance and look to the mail order
house in Chicago, New York or the
big city stores to furnish the oppor-
tunty. The fact is the place to look
is right here at home-in Ringgold.
Right on this page appears the
names OF firms who have been tot
ing fair with you for years, selling
dependable merchandise, often wait
ing for months for settlement, placing
their profits into the Improvement OF
the town, iii the way of paying for
schools, the expenses of carrying on
religious work in the various churches,
helping to build roads, and to defray
the expenses OF the parish.
Everyone OF these merchants will
save you money if you con6ne your
trade to buying at home" If you
buy at home they can afford to carry
the assortments you prefer to select
from and will do it.

BRIDGES ON IMPROVED ROADS

Few highway bridges with a width
of roadway less than Is feet are now
being constructed on improved roads.
according to engineers of the bureau
of public roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture. In the
past some II feet and a good many of
16-fOot width have been constructed
in an effort to economic, but it has
proved shortsighted economy. Only
one line of traffic can pass over a r.
foot roadway, and 16 feet of width
will not accommodate two lines in
safety. Many of the states, such as
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio and
Massachusetts, have found 1t advisable
in replacing old bridges on important
roads to make them wide enough to
accommodate three and four lines of
traffic.

Athens.-A note sent by the Greek
government to the allies respecting
| the intentions of Greece in Asia Min
or emphasizes the view that the occu
patton of Constantinople is the only
means of bringing about peace, and
says Greece has made arrangements
with that purpose in view.
The note begs the allies to issue the
necessary orders to the army Of Bri-
gadier General Sir Charles Harrington,
commander of the allied forces In
Constantinople and says it is conf
dent difficulties will not be imposed
in the way Of Greece. The note adds
that by the naturalization of Constan-
tinople, the allies are protecting, in
stead of coercing. Turkey, and thus
depriving Greece Of means for impos-
ing peace.
The Turkish atrocities, the note con-
tinues, make it vital for Greece to
adopt more energetic measures
against the Turks. but that the Greek
government is willing to discuss the
matter with the allies.
General Harington's declaration
that he will oppose by force any move
toward Constartinople caused disap-
pointment in Greece The drachma

Greater standardization of practice
In the design and construction of high
way bridges is urged by the bureau OF
public roads of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. 1t is be-
leyed that there is no sound reason
for the amount Of variation in speriii-
cations that now exists and that it
results in greater cost of bridges. State
officials take the same view as the blI-
reau and a committee composed Of
bridge engineers has been appointed
by the American Association Of State
Highway Officials to consider the mat
ter. A Manual Of Practice" is being
prepared, which will represent the
best thought on the subject and which
it is believed will be accepted by all
the state highway departments. Not
only will the adoption of such man
ual lead to the building of bridges OF
good design. but it will also make pos
Sible a saving in money, as bridge
companies will not be called upon to
meet so much variation in design.
