cAsphalhc Concrete pavements
have made 0O0d

Millions of people riding over asphaltc concrete
pavements every day in Western America
The Oregon State Highway System contains 27S
miles of 5nch asphaltic concrete base and surface
pavements $3 100000 was spent in the construction
Of this type of pavement by the Oregon Highway Com
mission in 1921.
The California Highway Commission awarded con-
tracts for over 90 miles of 5-inch asphaltc concrete
construction during 1921.
Fresno County, California has laid or contracted
for 116 miles of 5-nch asphaltic concrete pavement
This is part of Fresno Countys $4,8oO,OOO highway
building program.
Kings County, California laid 1os miles Of 4-inch
asphac concrete highway, 10 feet wide in 1868.
Yolo County, California, laid "a miles of asphaItic
concrete in 192o-21 Topeka type) This laid un-
der this County's 81, 900 bond issue
Sacramento California from 1906 to January l. 1921,

Visala, California, paved Main Street in 1894 with
an asphaltc concrete pavement consisting of 4H-inch
asphaltic concrete base and 1H-inch sheet asphalt
surface After u years this pavement is smooth and
true to grade and has cost nothing for maintenance
The pavements referred to are all in good condition
today Many examples of the Of asphaltc con-
crete paveents could be cited In many cases these
pavenents have cost nothing for maintenance-w
there have been maintenance costs they have been low
The asphaltc concrete type of highway construction
has proved it's worth This warrants the adop-

LOVE LIARS IN DEMAND.
Dear Bill:

So long as you tell q woman
that she Is the only woman you
ever loved or ever will ,ove, you're
safe; but be foolish enough TO show
her the names Of forty.nine other
women you loved ahead Of her and
she may kin you. A Kansas city
man lied to q woman about loving
her and then heaped agony and
insult by putting her name at the
bottom Of o long list Of other
foolish ones who had fallen for
him. She shot him to death. And
no jury Is going to convict her.
It II sad commentary on woman

are thousands Of men who deiiber-
ately make Il business blarneying
women about loving them and
shOwering them with hypocritical
compliments. The women seem to

man isn't going to tell o woman he
loves her unless he does and even
then ne isn't going to be repeating

Why Children Need More Food Than Adults

n IAN the world over has always eaten about
MI the same quantity Of food when he could
get it-that is food measured in calOries
or heat units. Everywhere the average daily in
take is about 27OO calories.
Prof. Durg recently told Vienna physicians
that the enforced reduction in food had brought
on much digestive trouble, much loss Of bodily
tissue and reduction in working efficiency The
accented standards Of nutrition must not be
abandoned the customary habits OF the world
renresent an optimism with which man may not
iuggle.
According TO the Journal Of the American
Medical Association, the food requirements Of
children have not usually been appropriately
recognized in the past.
1T is now beyond dispute" says this authori-
ty chat during adolescence the needs Of children
of both sexes may exceed by nearly 1000 Galleries
q day for each person the requirements Of the

adult man or woman Of moderate activity At ths
age of 1 year the average caloric requirement
approximates 100 caIories per k-ogram (21-5
pounds), falling to about so calories at the age
of and continuing at this value until the 10th
year There u remains until growth Is complete
when the adult standard of about "A calories per
kilogram suffices. Holt and Fales have also found
that the average amount of protein taken in the
usual mixed diet by more than 100 healthy chill
dren ranged from A gm. az ounces) daily in
the second year to $50 gm. az ounces) daily in
the 18th year.
"The latter hgure exceeds the average adult
need, and obviously should do so, since adults re-
quire protein for maintenance only. The amount
of protein per kilOgram of body weight taken by
these children averaged about 4 gm. (61l
grains) at one year, diminished to about 26 qn
Gao grains) az years, and remained at about
this value until the end Of growth So long as we
preach the doctrine OF mems sana in corpora sano.
we must not skimp the food allowance of the
coming generation. History now in the making
is teaching how under-feediug may result"

This situation brought an open scandal, and
the separation of the pair has already taken
place. Mrs. Gibson has instituted suit for d.
vorce which will make his score four and hers
two when the decree is signed.
Alexander Pratt is broker and he is pros
porous. He was ever regarded as one OF the ele-
ment that would never get into a divorce court
If he could help it, and everybody thought that
the first Mrs. Jack Barrymore would really find
a happy mating when she married him.
They have come to the parting of the ways,
and Pratt seems to be willing to allow his wife to
do all Of the deciding TO how far the break
shall go. There were few girls in all New York
who were prettier than Katherine Harris when
she decided to quit worshipping a matinee idol
from the orchestra and take him to her heart IN
earnest.
Her father. Sidney Harris, q lawyer who has
much wealth and Is popular in the leading clubs,
did all i'm his power to prevent the wedding. Har-
ris had been divorced from his own wife, but ne
was still paying the alimony and insisted upon
having some share IN the direction OF has daugh-
ter's future.

daughter for that actor fellow be sent post

tho first ship for Paris with Katherine and in
stall her in a convent. The direction was speedi-
10 obeved but the girl immured behind the walls
of the French school, did not forget her actor
love
And she soon found a friend in her grand
roother. the widow of the late Mr.. Justice Brady
of the New York supreme court Mrs. Brady
could not see why Katherine should not be happy
with Barrymore if she thought it possible. The

A Rosy Start-A Drab Finish

The trouble and divorce that finally broke up
the Inflated marriage led 70 four years OF que.
life before Katherine met Mr. Pratt and they de-
cided to marry. It seemed ideal Everybody ape
peared to sanction the match and TO be happy
Both went to the wedding ceremony and accepted
the new sOn-in-law as a happy solution of an Ola
family sorrow. Mrs. Hartman, no longer dis.
pleased came from Newport especially to attend
the wedding.
Everybody present remarked with a real glow
that Ethel Barrymore, who had remained the
friend of her brothers wife, came to Join the
wedding party, and there was every indication
that match had been made which would meet
with the approval Of all Of the hitherto warning
elements
And now, with the pretty story of the wedding
hardly grown cold, the couple have separated
