Motor Drivers Part in
Maintaining Good Roads

Drivers can do almost as much for
the maintenance of good roads as high
way engineers Did you ever notice
in going up hill, particularly one
paved with asphaltic concrete, that
the surface on the right-hand side of
the road is wayy and rough, while that
on the left-hand side is smooth? The
reason is this: The extra traction re-
uuired to climb the hill wears and
tears the surface, while there is little
or no traction down hill.
Another thing the right-hand track
of the road in either direction is the
one which is worn most. This Is be-
cause the arched surface of the road
throws the greater weight and strain
on the right-hand side of the vehicle
and consequently the right-hand side
of the roadway. Truck builders and
wagon makers have even adjusted
their axles and springs so as to with
stand the greater strain on the right
hand side of the vehicle.
Drivers can prevent wear to the sur
faces of the roads and even improve
their condition, it, instead of driving
in one track or on the edge of the
road, they will drive over the middle
and other less used parts of the road
when traffic permits. The one thing
that is fatal above all things to road
surfaces, whether dirt or paved, is
driving in tracks, which subjects one
small part of the road surface to all
the traffic and damage that the whole
road accommodates.
Traffic should be evenly distributed
over the entire surface of the road,
and little thoughtfulness and care in
this respect on the part of the drivers
will do much to add to the perma-
nence and excellence of our roadways.

Many States Repairing
Concrete With Asphalt

Highway engineers in various parts
of the country are finding it advis-
able in greater degree to repair con-
crete roads with asphaltic materials.
This is true particularly in Maryland,
New York, California, New Jersey,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, North
Carolina, Oklahoma, Michigan, Ohio,
Kansas, Iowa, Colorado. Texas and
Canada.
Concrete roads are prone to develop
longitudinal and transverse cracks.
Everywhere these cracks are being
filed with asphalt. Maryland has
been resurfacing some of its concrete
roads laid in 1913 and 1914 by means
of asphalt. Among these is two
mile stretch of the Baltimore Wash
ington boulevard near the Baltimore
city limits that was built in 1913 of
cement concrete and resurfaced with
asphalt in 1919 The road from Balti-
more to Camp Meade. built in 1914
of compressed concrete, was resur-
faced with asphalt also in 1919. In
Baltimore it has been found necessary
to give some concrete flush coat of
bituminous material covered with
gravel.

SCHOOL TOES HERALD AUTUMN


ers are occupying themselves with
school clothes and all that pertains
thereto-to headwear. footwear and
many accessories.
Wash dresses, with matching bloom
ers of strong cotton cloths, and of other
fabrics. form the mainstay OF little
girls outerwear for school. AS the
days grow cool, scarfs, sweaters and
short, lightweight coats provide suifi-
cient warmth until the snow begins to
fly. They are all sturdy and attractive
and the vogue for matching them up
with caps or hats increases.
Many half length, straight coats are
made of heavy flannel, in plain bright
colors, with red a favorite. Angora
cloth and jersey cloth serve the same
purpose and the caps, or turbans, to
match are usually made with section
al crowns and upturned brims. Yarn

most fitting of decorations for the
eozy matched sets. A scarf and tur-
ban of dark blue angora decorated
with tan-colored yarn are shown in
the illustration. Tassels that finish
the scarf ends and the turban are
made of the yarn also.
The matched sets appear in the dis

Of making them appetizing without the
heat
These vegetables may be prepared
In the early part of the day and when
dinner time comes a steak may be
broiled or a few chops and dinner
getting is a simple process.
With the wealth of delicious vege-
tables to be found at this season, one
may have a pair for each dinner and
never run low on ideas.
Peas are such delectable vegetable
that they may be served often in most
families. One day cook them, dress
them with cream. and serve in ripe to-
mato baskets. This dish not only
gratifies the eye but will prove salts
flying to the palate.
Peas In Aspic JeIly.--A pint of
shelled peas will make six individual
molds. Cook the peas in just enough
water to cover them, adding a tea
spoonful of sugar and slice Of onion;
when tender drain and cool them.
Soak one tablespoonful of gelatin In
TWO IdDleSpOOnIulS OF water, IHeH duu
one and one-half cupfuls of nicely sea-
soned meat stock, or canned bouillon,
boiling hot. Stir until the gelatin is
well dissolved, then strain and chill
but do not let it come to the point OF
congealing. Add the peas and table
spoonful of chopped red pepper, stir
occasionally until the jelly begins to
thicken. Pour into molds wet with
cold water and place on ice. Serve
turned on sliced cucumbers dipped in
French dressing or on water cress.
Mousse of Peas.-Cook a pint Of
peas as above, and when tender put
through a sieve; add one cupful Of
thick white sauce, one tablespoonful of
gelatin softened in cold water, one
beaten egg, salt, paprika and white
pepper to taste. When cool fold in
cupful of whipped cream and pour into
little ramekins to chill. When serving
garnish with a point of whipped cream
topped with minced parsley.

Governors Love of Dog.

The august state of Maine is di-
vided against itself over the mat
ter of dog.
1t all started with Garry's i'll
ness.
Garry, an Irish settler, was the
inseparable companion of Cover
nor Percival P. Baxter. The dog
and his forebears had been in the
Baxter family 81 years. When his
master moved over to Blaine Man
sion, the State White House, Gar
ry went along.
Each morning the dog would
visit the Capitol, and drop in to
see his many friends in every Of
flee. In the executive chamber
there was a special couch provided
for him, and ON it Garry would
lie for hours at a time waiting
for the governor to finish his
work. Then together they would
walk over the hills and through
the woods.
Some of the. citizens thought
the goE ernor WIS paying too much
attention TO tie dog. It was un-
dignified, they said. But then
President Harding got Laddie Boy,
and they modified their views.
Garry became a veritable sha-
dow of the lovernor. He trailed
his matter wherever he went, ev-
en- on railroad trips. He enjoyed
special permit to ride in the
coaches of the Maine Central Rail
road.
The governor, a bachelor, is an
ardent lover of all animals. He
sponsored the first anti-vivisection
law by a legislature in the United
States Shawano Journal.

MOTHERS GREAT LOVE
Story of Chicago Mother Who
Shot Son in Order to Save
From Fife of Crime.

The story of that Chicago moth
er, told Wednesday in the news
papers of that city, who is now in
the loathsome prison charged with
the heinous crime of having shot
her own boy, ought to be read
with all seriousness of purpose by
every son in the land. That this
distracted mother is in Jail and
her hayward offspring in the hos
pital are not the only things to
be considered Whether the moth
er shall be punished for what is
a sad crime, as laid down in the
statute books, whether the victim
of her impulse shall live or die, is
beside the question.
That a lad, strong and healthy
and but nineteen years old should
so far forget his duty to God,
mother and country as to bring
her who gave him birth to such a
pass is what matters. That the
mother, driven to virtual insanity
by the actions of her boy could
be brought to such a mental state
as to impel her to do so dreadful
deed is what should concern every
young man who reads the tale
1t is such incidents as this which
jar the whole social structure of
the country. Pampered, possibly
over educated, this young man
turned to crime rather than work
for what he considered insufficient
wages and In a so-called inferior
position. 1t can not be charged
that he is criminal either by in
stinct or heredity. He is simply
the outgrowth of a system aggra-
waited by undue parental ambition
and devotion to a false ideal.
Education is of untold value,
but no young man is entitled to
it unless he has in some measure
earned it and the young man who
IS given an education at the cost
of parental toll and privation and
through no effort of his own
rarely makes the full use of his
accomplishments. Henry Ford,
one of the strongest advocates of
educational attainments in the
country says that while he is es-
pecially partial to college men the
proportion of them who make
good and remain in his employ is
only about two per cent of the
number Of men employed.
1t will be of no avail if the
stricken mother is punished for
her crime, nor will it help in the
solution of the problem if the
young man is sent to- prison for
any minor offense for which he
can be convicted. Punishment, of
course is his portion but if the de,
plorable condition in which he
finds himself does not straighten
him UP the pity will be that his
mothers bullet did not prove ia
tal

shall we do with our boys?" still

When the sea birds gather on
the Pacific Northwest in Alaska
and British Columbia, in June, the
Indian follows the white-winged
fiocks for his summer harvest Of
eggs. He takes only the first and
fresh-laid clutches, allowing the
later eggs to hatch. But inter
national law must b. rigidly OBJ
served and the migratory birds are
protected in their nesting. There
may be some excuse for the In
dian in gathering these eggs, for
his forebears did so thousands of
years ago. How ever, there is none
for white men or Japanese, who
would sell these eggs in bakeries
and restaurants of the coast cities,
and it is with these nest pirates
that the law is operating most.
