That is the explanation. During the

New York club would be expecting
big things from me. went into light

teams went South. / have always
wanted 10 play in New York and

the best possible condition. / didn't
make New York. but the thought
that i was going 10 play there is
responsible FOR ME going so good
superior condition"
Already the baseball season has
produced a number OF unusual situ-
atoms in both major leagues This
Is particularly true in regard 10 the
pitching.
ROAIsIEL'S
CASE
Last year Eddie Rommel won u
games for tail.end ball club. the
Philadelphia Athletics. Rommel was
the one member OF the Athletics
pitching staff that Connie Max
counted on rs consistent winner
for 1923.
In his first two starts of the sea-
son Rommel was driven from the
box. In his third effort he went TO
the relief of Pitcher Kinney in the
second inning with the score 5 TO
in his favor. The best he could get
was a 10 TO 10 tie in IL innings.
Then there is the case of Jack
Bentley. for whom the Giants paid
$4,000. In HIS first two starts the
former Baltimore star had been
pounded all over the field. He was
allowed to pitch his entire first
game, but was removed in the sec
ond after the Phillies had made nine
hits in three innings.
TWO BIG
FEATURES
Lately both Rommel and Bentley
have hit their stride. on Rommel.s
showing from now on depends the
chances OF the Athletics to finish in
the first division. Bentley is now
showing the form that made him the
big star of the International league
and he is winning with regularity
for McGraw.
Howard Ehmke OF the Boston Red
Sox stands out as the sensation of
the year as far as form reversal is
concerned. Pitching for the tail.end
Boston Red Sox, he has been the
most consistent winner in the Ameri-
can league
In a season that has featured the
unusual in both major leagues. the
sensational play of Eddie Collins All
the remarkable pitching of Howard
Ehmke are the most noteworthy.

EDITORIAL.

In its editorial column the Industrial
Index notes that road building has
developed into great-a really ire
mendous-industry in America. 1t is
an industry with many ramfications
the INNING or manufacturing of road
bridge building materials; the trans
portation of these bulky commodities;
the distribution OF these materials by
agents and JobberS; the professional
energy OF the many engineers who
have made special study of this
branch OF construction; the activities
OF thousands upon thousands of road
and bridge contractors: the armies OF
Workmen who are out on the firing
line OF these innumerable projects. The
investment i'll road building, when
considered in its various aspects, is
enormous. And it will grow heavier
with each passing Year"
1t will, indeed, grow heavier Road
building is shortly to be the premier
industry (not considering farming) Of
the United States. 1t will be as much
greater than is automobile making, in
the men and money required, as that
industry, now the first i'll this country,
is greater than railroading, which for
so many years held premier place.
And as yet we have scarce begun to
build roads, In all our years of ma
t.onal existence we have succeeded in
building less than three hundred thou
sand miles of improved roads, al
though we have almost three million
miles to improve! OF course. the
need OF roads was not felt until the
MT ~ hill RI Z ln
OF a new transportation, but the
automobile is already old; men and
women now i'll college do not remem-
Der when there were no automobiles
1t is not enough that this country
build roads; it must build roads which
connect with each other, thus securing
the maximum use of each mile, and it
must build roads which last. As the
several States have found that only a
central State Highway Commission
can lay out and construct a state high
way system TO which counties and
towns can build their feeder roads, SO
must the nation come to realize that
only a Central National Highways
commission can lay out and build
(and forever maintain) national
system of roads. to which States
can buildy as d part of their own sys-
tens. those roads which will make the
national system serve all the people.
Ten Years ago, any sort OF Federal
participation in road building was
looked upon as a chimercal idea
Since 1916 we have spent hundreds OF
millions of dollars of Federal money
for Federal aid roads In another
ten or twenty years we will spend not
hundreds of millions, but a billion or
more for national highways system
which will, indeed, lit America from
the mud.

Drink Water If
Kidneys Hurt
Take a Tablespoon of Salts if Back
Pains or Bladder Bothers.

loo much meat may produce uric
acid, says a weel-known authority,
who warns US to be constantly on
guard against kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of the irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the enire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back, or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder
is irritable, obliging you to seek relief
during. the night, when you have Sc
we're headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning, and in few days Your kid
neys may act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to help
neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer source of irritation, thus
often ending urinary and bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
anjure; makes delightful effervescent
lithia water drink, and nobody can
make mistake by taking little oc-
caslonally to help to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Drink plenty OF
water at all times. (Adv.)

Worlds Timber
Resources Being
Steadily Exhausted

The United States can not depend
upon the forests of other countries
to augment its own timber supply. ac-
cording to the data presented in
Forest Resources of the World" a
new book written by forest economists
OF the United States Department OF
Agriculture. This comprehensive
study OF world timber conditions show
that the worlds requirements of saw
timber will double within the next so
years if the rate of increase during the
past few years is maintained. Morrow
err, as the rate of timber growth is
equal to only two-thirds OF the amount
of wood consumed, the total supply is
continually shrinking.
The most pressing forest problem
from world standpoint is the nee
essity of providing adequate supplies
of soft-wood timber" states the book
This can be done by using ali OF the
forest land for the continuous produc-
ton OF timber crops. At present only
10 to IS per cent OF the worlds tim
berland is so handled, the rest being
regarded as mine valuable only for
the timber now standing on it."
This new book which is not publish
ed by the Government, confirms The
earlier statements of the Department
of Agriculture, that this country can
not depend upon imports of the great,
all-purpose softwoods when its own
supply is gone.

USE IS MAIN FACTOR
IN BUILDING NEW ROAD
Railroad Practice Followed With
Profit In Road Building

The board OF directors OF a great
railroad system before authorizing the
construction of new right-of way,
calls engineers in consultation to- de-
termine the amount OF use to which
the new road will be subjected. The
present and probable future traffic is
discussed, the number of trains per
day and the size and weight. The ex-
pense of eliminating heavy grade is bal
anced against the saving in tractive eff
fort. The question OF ballast is
largely affected by the speed of the
proposed trains, which in turn limit
ed by the weight OF the steel rails and
the curves as well as the grade. The
amount of income must be considered
and much time must be spent in set
ting the location.
All these factors apply when the
"right-of-way" is a public road, and
not railroad But how often do po-
litcal authorities delve as deeply into
these details as they should? Seldom,
when the road builders are political
appointees and not engineers.
This was one of the fundamental
reasons why the federal government
that no state without High
way Commission, presumably employ
ing engineers, could benefit from fed
eral aid The building of road is a
political matter only in the raising Of
the money and the authorization of

SOWEGA SIGN-UP CAMPAIGN
NOW IN FULL SWIM

Watermelon growers OF South Geor-
gia and North Florida are now being
given an opportunity to enroll as
members in the Sowega Melon Grow
ers Association. The campaign started
Oct. 18th and will probably colse on
January 1st.
AS has been the custom in the past
the sign-up campaign will not in any
wise be exciting, but straighthfor-
ward membership solicitation by
growers themselves. No high priced,
high powered solicitors have been en-
ployed to get signatures. Farmers
melon growers, do the work, and the
most important phase OF their work
in the campaign is to sell the idea of
marketing comparatively, not merely
getting signatures on contracts.
The campaign was opened in
Brooks county, which is possibly the
largest watermelon producing county
in the State. however, within a few
days the work will be carried on
within thirty-five other counties on
both Georgia and Florida. Many of
the Middle Georgia counties have sig
nified a desire to come into the associa
ton and arrangements were made at
the meeting held on Oct to extend
the activities of the association thru
out Georgia.
Banks, business houses, newspapers
commercial and farmers organizations
have endorsed the association at many
places and it is expected that this
sign-up will be much greater than any
heretofore.

CONCRETE IS ANCIENT
HIGHWAY MATERIAL

The first known concrete highway
was laid down by the Romans in Eng
land. between Westchester and Lon
don. Excavations uncovered several
sections, in excellent condition. APP
parently the material was natural
cement miXedi with pebbles and work
ed into roadbed about twelve inch
es thick
The art seems to have been lost for
nearly two thousand years, the next
example being in Edinburgh, Scotland
i'll 1872 when some concrete pave
ments, still in use and good condition
were made.
In our country, Belefontaine,
Ohio, gets credit for being the first
municipality to experiment with &C.
ment streets, in 1898. But it is really
Wayne County, Michigan, the Detroit
automobile factory region, which
made the concrete highway known to
the nation. This early experiment
was in 1907. In 1909 less than half
a million square yards of concrete
were laid (perhaps fifty miles,, while
in 1921 more than sixty million square
yards were laid (more than 1000
miles,.
One OF the great advantages of the
concrete is the low cost of hauling, its
surface being less resistant to tractive
effort than eve know. Dynamom-
eter measurements show that the trac-
tive force required to move a wheeled
ton of weight on a level road are for
concrete 32,5 pounds; for asphalt,
TIL pounds; for brick, 5l.8 pounds;
and for earth 1347 pounds.
A taxi company so situated that it
drove one set OF cars almost entirely
on dirst roads and another set almost
entirely on concrete roads reports that
it costs "a cents less per mile to oper-
at the taXis on the cement road than
on the dirt roads
There are 100000 automobiles in
the country. If they average the low
amount of 5000 miles each per year,
the total miles driven is 10000, 000,-
600. At 2 cents a mile saving, the
sum of $720000,000 a year could go
towards building hard surface roads,
which income would build $4,000
miles of permanent highways every
year
