SAVE $l3 A mile ON
HIGHWAY MARKING

A new idea in the marking of the
center line of State highways is being
tried out successfully by State High
way Engineer c. Douglas Buck.
Up until this fall it was the method
to hand-paint the center line on the
State highways. This was laborious
and tedious and ordinary paint was
used. The new idea consists in the
use of a mixture of asphaltum, such
as is used for building and repairing
highways. The mixture is put in a
tank with an outlet from a pipe 2
inches in width and mounted on a
truck. The truck has a guiding wheel
on the edge of the concrete highway

Quite naturally the children will
want to make gifts for each other
Undoubtedly there is more love and
affection tucked into the made gift
than any other. Among the gifts that
a child can make are those done with
tied dyeing." This process comes
from the Orient, where the bandana
handkerchief first got its name.
A true bandana handkerchief was
tied expertly by a HindoO girl, who
was called a Bandhani, and then dip
ped in red dye. When the string was
united a pattern in white on led was
found to have been wrought.
Squares of muslin or linen are the
first requirement. If a child does not
like to hem, white handkerchiefs al
ready hemmed may be used. Two or
three colors of dyes should be made
up, each a strong color. Pint Mason
jars will do to keep the dyes in. Di-
lutte the dye in small bowls, bowl
for each color.
The process of tying the handker-
chief may be done in one or two ways.
Fold the square and pick up por-
ton in the fingers. Wind string tightly
around this point" of cloth, and tie
and cut the string. Several points can
be tied in one square. Each time all
four thicknesses are caught, that the
little pattern thus formed will be re-
peated four times. After experimenting
you will find out how to pick up the
cloth so as to produce square, cir
Gle, or an oblong shape.
The other method suggested is to
wind the point and, without tying and
cutting the string, proceed to the next !
point. This is the method used in the
Orient, the unwinding, when one
comes to that, being greatly facilita-
ted.
This part, the winding, takes the
most patience on the part of the chill
dren.
The dyeing is more thrilling. Dip

WHAT is OLDEST KNOWN
ROAD MATERIAL?
Asphalt Has Strong Claims as First
Binder for Stone

Doubtless the oldest material for a
road was wood, in the form OF
branches laid across muddy stretches
of paths, much as the familiar "cOr-
duroy" road is still made today in
backwoods districts.
But the oldest hard road material
is stone or brick, and among the
claimants for hoary age in consider
ing the first forms of built highways,
is asphalt. Some commentators of
the Bible claim that the word "slime"
in the quotation "slime had they for
mortar" to build the Tower of Babel
should be translated as "bitumen,"
which is asphalt.
However that may be, there is no
doubt about the translation of an in
scription found on a paving block in
Babylon. 1t reads:
"Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon,
he who made Esaglia and Ezida glor-
ious, son of NabOpOlassar, King OF
Babylon. The streets of Babylon, the
procession Street of Nabu and Mar
duk, my lords, which Nabopolassar,
King of Babylon, the father who be-
got me, has made a road glistening
with asphalt and burnt brick; I, the
wise suppliant who fears their lord
ships, placed above the bitumen and
burnt bricks, a mighty superstructure
of shining dust, made them strong
within with bitumen and burnt bricks
as highlying road. Nabu and Mar
duk, when you traverse these streets
in joy, may benefits for me rest upon
your lips; life for distant days, and
well-being for the body. Before you
1 will advance upon them. May I at
tain eternal age!"
Those who traverse smooth asphalt
streets in cities are thus linked with
an era of at least 500 years B. C. in
the roads they use, although from
ancient times until about 1855, as
phalt, then to be obtained only from
nature (it is now product of petro-
leum manufacturing processes) was
neglected as a road material.

THOSE WHO FAILED TO
PAY MUST PAY FINES

Beginning with September 21st, the
Georgetown branch Of the State Tax
Department has been sending out no
tees to persons who failed to pay
their State Income Tax promptly, and
giving them thirty days in which to
make settlement. The time limit for
several of the notices sent out has ex-
pired, and persons who ignored the
notices are now due for fines. Returns
received after the expiration of the
time limit are returned to the taxable
with letter telling them that the
checks in payment of the account
must be made out for the total tax
plus six per centum each month from
March 18th, the last date that the tax
was due. Large numbers of tardy tax
ables have received these notices and
are now liable to the additional levy
of six percentum per month from
March. Each month that the account
runs this sum will be added.

which enables the driver of the truck
to keep directly in the center of the
highway. The truck with this distri-
buting apparatus and mixture can
paint 10 to II miles day. AS it is laid
the mixture is about inches wide
but usually spreads to 21A inches.
Under the old plan of manipulating
the center line the cost to the State
Highway Department was $40 a mile.
Under the new recipe the job is done
for $3.50 a mile, but the big saving in
addition to the fact that it is cheaper
than paint, is that it lasts indefinitely
and is considered better than paint.
So far $50 miles through Kent coun-
ty have been marked and there is as
much more.

ZERO MILESTONE LIKE
ROME'S GOLDEN MARKER
Washington Marker is Measurement
Point for Roads

When DR.. S. M. Johnson first sug-
gested the idea of the Zero Milestone
which. on the meridian of Washing
ton. located just south of the Whlte
House, now serves as the starring
point for the calculation of all mileage
from the Capital City, he said:
Rome marked the beginnings oI
her system of highways, which bounu
her widely scattered people together'
nv a golden milestone in the Forum.
The system of highways radiatlns
from Washington to all boundaries Oh
the national domain and all parts OF
the western Hemisphere will do vast
Iv more for national unity and LOT
human unity than even the roaus u

The milestone was authorized py
Congress-. which directed that the sec
retaTv of War seetto its erection from

Cononoission. Accordingly, the STONE

WHO WILL BUILD
NATIONAL HIGHWAYS2
Expenditures to Come From Taxable
Wealth

Nine States in the East and North
eastern part of the Union, although
they have but per cent of the area
OF the United States, possess one-half
the national wealth.
Some taxpayers in these States,
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and
Connecticut, sometimes argue against
the idea of national highways to be
built and forever maintained by the
National Government, on the ground
that they will have to pay half the
cost of such roads.
Probably they will. But they have
to pay half the cost of all the expen-
sive hauling now done over all the
bad roads of the nation. These nine
States, paying half the taxes OF the
nation, have to pay half of all nation
al works. They have to suffer half
the ills of all national reverses. They
have to pay half the cost OF all the
money lost by all the other States
through having bad roads
It is as impossible to live outside
the working of the laws of economies
as it is to work outside the laws OF
nature. The apple falls, be it in
Maine or California, and the tax paid
is half collected from half the wealth.
The expense of poor roads is half
paid by half the national wealth.,
which suffers half the loss. And
while half the cost of the whole
countrywide system of national nigh
ways will eventually be paid by the
nine States in which half OF the
wealth of the nation is located, they
will also reap half the dement's
though they possess but a small part
of half the mileage of the proposed
system.
