lloyd George Resigns;
Succeeded by Bonar Law

London-After holding the office OF
prime minister through seven of the
most critical years of British history
three years of war and four years OF
econstruction-David Lloyd George
went into the wilderness Friday.
This was the description in his Man
chester speech of his position if the
unionist wing of his followers should
desert him. Unionist withdrawal from
the coalition was decided upon Friday
by the meeting which Austen Chamber
lain had called at the Carlton Club and
which was attended by the coalition
members of the house of commons and
a handful of lords who were enrolled
in the cabinet.
The vote was 1856 to 81 against the
Chamberlain policy of pledging the par
ty to sustain the coalition and in favor
of a general election to confirm its
course The meeting was followed by
a succession of swift events which car
ried the coalition government into out
er darkness.
Andrew Bonar Law will put on the
prime minister's mantle for a short
term OF office. The king summoned
him to Buckingham Palace Friday eve
ming and invited him to form a new
government, which Mr. Bonar Law will
undertake.

BOOM IN HIGHWAY BUILDING
Federal Aid Has Been Most lmpor-

Federal aid has been probably the
most important factor in the big boom
In highway building Of recent years,
and there are now many long stretches
of trunk-line highway serving rich ag-
ricultural and Industrial sections OF
the country which are almost entirely
federal-aid construction.
The United States Department of Ag-
riculture, which administers the fed
eral-aid fund, points out that trav-

PROBLEMS IN ROAD BUILDING
Officials Of State Organizations and

cuss Questions.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
The committee on tests of the
American Society of State Highway
Officials met with the officials Of the
bureau Of public roads of the United
States Department Of Agriculture, in
Washington, June 28 and u, to con-
slider Standardization Of specifications
and tests for road materials. The
purpose of this meeting Of representa-
tives from all sections of the country
was not so much to lay down rigid
rules as to harmOnize the general
practice. Standardization taking into
account local conditions is being
brought about by series Of meetings
between officials from groups of states
and engineers Of the bureau.
The present activity Of highway Of
ficials along this line Is most encourag-
ing for road building. A few years
ago the general tendency was toward
Individuality in each state, without
much opportunity for exchange Of
ideas and knowledge. Today the ten
dency is in the other direction, and a
better solution should be reached
when the problems are discussed at
meetings of the best highway engi-
neering talent Of the country.

Some interesting facts concerning
native bee hunters come from Aus
tralia.
Wild bees nests are usually well
hidden, and, the flight Of the bees be-
ing too fast for the eye to follow, the
aborigines have devised various igeni-
Gus methods of tracing them.
One way is to watch the bees gath
ering pollen. and then, when a honey
laden bee alights on a flower, to place
a piece Of white feather-down, mois-
tened with gum. on the underside Of
its body. The native eye can then fol-
low the bees homeward journey.
A white beekeeper on the south
coast Of New South Wales Is little be-
hind the natives in cunning. His meth
cd is to watch bees drinking at pool.
II they fly away slowly, and at no
great height, he knows that nest Is
close at hand; if they fly fast and
high the nest is likely 20 be miles
away.

Lincoln's Popular Phrase.

The expression in President Lin
coins Gettysburg speech, government
OF the people, by the people, for the
people," is literary gem which for
several centuries had passed unnoticed
until thus used by him, an exchange
says.
In the preface Of the first complete
translation of the Bible in the English
language known as the Wycliffe Bible.
there is the following: ''The Bible is
for the government OF the people. by
the people and for the people" The
date Of this is, according to EncyclOpe-
dia Britannica, about 1882. but cannot
be later than the time Of Wycliffe's
death il. 1884. This same authority
credits him with being "the founder Of

who. through the exercise Of some po-
litical influence. had been given the
post OF dockyard inspector under the
Spanish crown. The younger Ord's
supply Of funds continued undated
and he placed himself under the tu-
telage Of Maryland priest. who, in
addition to teaching him, assisted in
the search for the truth concerning his
parentage. This search led to the con
clusiOn, unsupported by any direct
documentary evidence. that he was
the son of George ~ of England, born
while that monarch was prince OF
Wales, his mother being Marie Anne
Smythe Fitzherbert, whom George had
married In 1885
When Ord was well on in life. he
wrote to Mrs. Fitzherbert but was
unable to obtain a reply from her, al
though he died in the firm belief that
she was his mother. This contention
was also accepted by the Jesuit ia
theirs Of Georgetown college, who, in

ton, mentioned the name Of flames

able amount Of money is spent for the
replacement OF rusted bridge members
that would have remained sound il
they had been kept painted; and more
serious than she waste Of money is the
danger to the public due to the weak
ening Of some hidden part which may
cause the collapse of the whole bridge.
Officials of the bureau urge that all
steel bridges be inspected at least once
each year and repainted at the first
sign Of rusting. Normally repainting
is required at periods Of from two to
five years, depending on the climate.
A suitable paint should be used, and
if there is uncertainty about any point,
information should be requested from
the state highway department.
1t is a mistake to repaint without
properly cleaning the metal Of all dirt,
rust, loose paint, and blisters. Usually
the places hardest to reach are the
ones that should receive the most at
tentiOn.
