TChe Right Thing
Right Time

chaperOn may dance a few dances,
but it would be rather out of keeping
with her responsibility to dance all
or even the majority of the dances.
She need not, of course, watch the
young women in the party as if she
were duenna, but she should make
a point to be in evidence all through
the party. At small dance the
guests who know her should make it
a point to present the other young
people to her. If she is chaperoning
a certain young woman at a larger
dance then they should emphatically
present their escorts to her. Need
less to say, the chaperon always re-
mains until the last guest or dancer
has gone. If you do not feel like re-
naming until the "Wee sma' hours" do
not accept an invitation to chaperon
a dance, for since the war is over
dances are continued much later than
they have been, and unless the chap
eron has been especially enjoined by
the parents of her charges, or unless
they are very young, she should not
object to this late dancing.
One of the most difficult tasks that
any chaperon ever has to perform is
that of calling down" one of her
charges. Occasionally, of course, some
daring young person will indulge in
one of the dance steps that are looked
upon askance by proper folks. But
if the chaperon herself has not
danced for a decade or so she must
make allowances for the changes that
have taken place In the way young
persons dance. 1t is extremely i'll
bred to call dancer down conspicu-
ously. In most cases it is better to
wait until the dance is through and
the dancers have left the floor and
then to make the request for a change
in mode of dancing quite confiden-

impact on Roads Studied.
In a rather elaborate series of ex-
periments, the bureau has studied i'm
pact of trucks on roads, and has de-
termined approximately the magnitude
of impact force under different truck
and road conditions The effect of
such impact on concrete pavements
and several types of road on concrete
base was studied and reported on last
year. This series of experiments Is
to be continued and enlarged. over
120 road sections or slabs have been
constructed in duplicate series. one
series is on a carefully drained dry
subgrade; the other series is on the
same kind of subgrade except that 1t
is kept wet and as nearly saturated
as possible by means of an underlying
drain tile and side bitches filled with
water.
The testing of these slabs will be-
gin some time during the month OF
May and will be by means of a new
impact machine now being constructed
which Stimulates the action of the rear
wheel of truck. On this machine
may be mounted truck wheels of differ
ent sizes and weights carrying differ
ent kinds of truck tires. This mp
paratus may be so operated as to re-
produce the different loading and
equipment conditions of large variety
of trucks The slabs will be hammered
by means Of this machine in the center,
on the corners, and on the sides so
as to obtain the relative strength I'M
der these different conditions.

tinued for the purpose of studying and
investigating relative stability, mois-

the present time judgment is based
on wear tests made in the laboratory
and upon the compressive strength of
concrete, also upon the structural
strength of concrete beams constructed
and broken in the laboratory. The COM
pariSon of the wear of concrete in
actual use on road surfaces with
the indications obtained In laboratory
experiments is not wholly satisfac-
tory.
To throw more light on this SUBJ
ject wear test is to be made with
the conditions approXimating those
actually found on the road. This test
will include about 65 sections of con-
crete wearing surface, each section
being of a different quality of con-
crete, the qualities being varied by
virtue of the different aggregates used,
different proportions In the mixture
and amount of mixing water. These
sections are to be constructed on
circular runway about $50 feet in cir
conference, the runway being A feet
wide
On this runway will be operated
specially constructed car with two
truck wheels equipped with solid
rubber tires and loaded to represent
a truck. The car will be guided by
small railroad rails to hold it In posi-
ton, the power being applied by means
Of an electric motor to the rear wheel.
This apparatus will be operated around
the circular runway at speed of
probably 20 miles an hour The test
will involve the use of truck wheels
equipped with different kinds of tires
and will include the use of non-skid
chains. A steel-tired wheel will
probably also be used to get the effect
of an accelerated wear test
The object of this experiment is to
determine the relative wear of the

A comprehensive program OF road
building research and investigation
during the coming season at the Ar
lington Experimental station near
Washington, %. c., is announced by
the bureau of public roads of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. Impact tests on pavements,
subgrade studies and other expert
ments, which last year aroused much
interest among engineers, will be con-
tinued as well as several other lines
of work underway last year and new
ones TO be started.
Bituminous wearing surfaces are to
be investigated to determine the rea-
son for the formation of waves and
irregularities and to settle mooted
questions concerning the proper mix
ture and the proper mineral aggregates
to be used In bituminous roads. More
than so sections of different types Of
bituminous construction will be built.
These will include mixtures Of differ
ent mechanical grading and with
different percentages of bitumen of
several degrees of hardness. Sections
are being constructed on a circular
track about 600 feet in circumference,
the roadway being Ii feet wide. On
this roadway will be operated D.
ton army truck equipped with solid
tires. The truck will be operated in
varying path so as TO cover practically
the entire width of the roadway and
will travel at speed of from II to
15 miles an hour for five or six
months, or until some results are OBJ
tanned leading to the solution of the
problems involved.

not shot through with such pathetic
glory as is the story Of lad who
never knew who he was and who gave
his life for country in which he had
never known a mothers love or
fathers pride. Every mother who
does not know Just where her son is

unknown soldier, thinking that per-
haps he is her son. Over the grave of
the boy who has always been un-
known there are no mourners.
A tiny bundle Of humanity was
picked up in a Baltimore street some
twenty years ago; 1t was baby boy.
When after thorough search, no one
was found who would claim him, he
was taken to be reared by two broth
ers, who gave him the name of Ed
ward John Evangelist Smith. When
he was old enough, they sent him
to Mount Saint Mary's school to be
educated In 1917, before the boys
education was finished, a Marine re-
cruiting officer visited Mount Saint
Mary's. His story of the country's
need for men caused Smith" as he
had come to be known. to enlist. He
went overseas and took, part in every
engagement in which the Fifth regi-
ment of marines participated. On the
morning on which the armistice was
signed, one of the last German bullets
flying claimed "Smithy" as its victim.

for dinner for a week! 20
Mr.. Fox grew hungrier every Sec

bank, without waiting to find out if
the Ducks were going to get out of 1t,
he made spring for the boat, expect
ing to land right in the midst of the
Ducklings.
But alas and alacl: for all well-laid

was with the well-laid plan which Mr..
Fox had, for when he struck, the boat,
out flew all the Ducks, and even old
Captain Drake was as spry as the
others. Fright made him forget his
old age, and he tapped his wings and
away he swan.
And where do you think Mr.. Fox
was all this time? Under the boat,
trying to get free, for he hit the side
and over it went, with him under it.
After while he managed to swim out,
and there far off in the distance, Mr.

1t was no use to swim after them
for they were close 20 the bank, and
he knew that the farmers gun might
put an end to his ever again being
hungry if he was seen near the farm,
so he swan for the bank and sadly
walked toward home, a hungrier but
a wiser fellow.
