Diversion OF Funds From Princess

factory To Many Citizens

Worcester's Somerset neighbors are
"pullin' an haulin'" with Commits
sioner Mackall, about good roads. The
road chief isn't spending Somerset's
allotment as some citizens would like
to see it, and they are ''hot in the col

petitioning him TO cont nue. the Prin-

Mr.. Mackall doesn't think all the
county's share should be spent in the
same place. The Sun of July Is con-
tains the following:
Somerset county is staging a fight
before the State Roads Commission
over the location of the State road
to be built this year from the county's
allotment of the lateral post road
fund. Two miles of road will be built
in the county out of this allotment.
Until about two weeks ago it was
understood in the county that the
two miles were to be constructed on
the Princess Anne-Deal's Island route,
beginning at Wyatt's Corner and ex-
tending west for two miles towards
Deals Island. In fact, it is said that
the State Roads Commission had gone
SO far as to award the contract for
the building of this road towards
Deals Island. The State Roads Com

will be very glad if the people of Som

 station. Safeguard that crossing in some practicable way, possibly as I have suggested, and 1t would be so safe, that no one should be afraid tp use it, whether on foot, in auto or street car.
 No railroad cars would cross it on street grade.
 The Southern could build a light steel structure on the south side of their south trackS with steps down to Twentieth to accommodate, as at pres : sent, local passenger travel from the south and west.
 The Atlanta, Birmingham and At lantic could ascend to level of the Louisville and Nashville's tracks by such rise as would be satisfactory and use the Louisville and Nashville pas senger station, as at present.
 It would seem practicable for the Terminal tracks to- connect with the elevated Louisville aiid Nashville tracks west of Twenty-seyeuth. Also for the Terminal tracks to connect with the. elevated Southern tracks west of Twenty-seventh.
 In arranging the grades of this sug- gested steel structure it seems worth considering to excaEate the space now occupied by the four through tracks down to such depth as will save height of steel construction and still allow necessary clearance at crest of Twenty first street viaduct and overhead clear ance for street cars on Twentieth.
 Depth Of Depression
 As to what depth that depression should be made orSwhat slope should be given down into itls on Twenty fourth, Twentieth, Nineteenth and Eighteenth, so that tracks and autos can use it and excess rainfall can drain into it from same streets, are expert engineer matters. T. make no attempt to do, as in all this anything more than present a rough outline of what may be practicable and if practicable, then desirable. 31aN
 The removal of these four tracks and use of steel structure instead of fill of dirt or slag would seem to open up for use an open space, some 4,O00' feet long and 40 feet wide, right through the heart of the city.
 Such space is entirely too valuable to be wasted in a city which is grow ing in such a tremendous and perma- nent way.
 To what use can this excayated open space be put? aak&F9
 It could be used as-an auxiliary open storm sewer to carry the excess flow of rain, saving the city the constrnc- tion of large covered storm water sewer between Twenty-seventh and Fourteenth.
 The city, under its powers, would very probably be authorized to do the

HOW TO COOL OFF

"ERBERT SPENCER, dean of SH philosophers wrote ITO be a good
 animal is the first requisite to success in life. and to be nation of good animals. is the first condition to national prosperity" Physical comfort and personal accomplishment go hand- and-glove. If man feels, as the Eng fish say, "fair whacked," during warm weather, he declines in efficiency and cannot contribute his mite to the might of the commonwealth which he supports and which supports him. This is lock ing at the subject in an altruistic way. Regarding it more selfishly, you want to do the best by yourself, and to do your best, you must feel at your best.
 A man cannot well keep out of the heat, but he can keep the heat out by wearing cool, housekeeping clothes and, especially, underclothes which are the foundation and framework of dress. Everybody knows that, in summer, sleeveless undershirts and knee drawers are the shortcut to comfort. This sort of undergarment, introduced and de veloped by Americans ingenuity, has long since become standard in this coun- try. During the last five years, the union suit, made as one continuous gar ment, has grown in favor, so that, in many sections, it is now preferred to the two-piece undershirt. Each type has its advantages.
 Pictured in the accompanying sketch is the athletic undersuit having the V-neck opening, though the round neck is just as comfortable. The shirt but tons down the front; the drawers are short and wide; the whole suit is full cut and loose fitting. Woven materials

public for study and their helpful sug- gestions. ~
 I have also been assured by com petent authority that these "sugges- tions'' from an engineering standpoint, seem entirely practicable and should be carefully studied as a possible per manent and compromise solution of long yexed problem.
 Unless the problem is settled in the near future in some fair and reason ably permanent way, and its general de- tails known to and approved by an in telligent public, the following will al- most, surely happen:
 The city commission will fail of re- election.
 The next legislature will see another bitter and regrettable effort at coercion. The effort to have our citizenship ab- sorb the city's short time paper will

render each more independent in act ing.
 It would also be splendid exhibition of civic pride, and rebound greatly to our good in the eyes of the country at large. When Birmingham really stirs herself and decided that she wants a thing done, she has certainly shown that she can and does do it.
 It would also give some who are too prone to criticise our city commission for not pressing action, with no funds in the treasury to meet any share of the city's in construction, to now either ''shut up or put up" to make the city more independent in action. .t
 firmly believe that the raising of the city's share of the joint c0nstruc- tion is the easiest and simplest of the problems to be solved.
 It is roughly estimated that the city's share would be around $350, ,OOO.OO. Some such plan as the following seems workable:
 Let the heads of our banks and fi- nancial institutions associate with them selves, some twenty or more other strong and influential men.
 Let them and their associates divide out the work of finding $50 individuals, firms or corporations who will each take at least $1 1,000.00 worth of the city's notes payable not later than ten years after date of issue at 315 or 4 per cent.
 It might be we'll to provide that one tenth should be. paid annually.
 When this subscription is assured, have those bankers and associates form a finance committee to handle these funds for the sole purpose of pay ing the city's share of such construc- tiOn as may finally be agreed upon by the railroads, the street railway and city. Some such handling of this fund would assure the subscribers that their money would be safeguarded and not mixed with other city funds. L It should also be a relief in several ways to the city's financial depart ment.
 In addition to this finance committee it would seem helpful to have another committee composed of practical engi- neers and men of experience in con structiOn, to cooperate with the engi- neers of the railroads. street railway and the city in cases where possible diff ferences might arise.
 Their impartial and thoroughly friendly views might at times be very helpful to all interests concerned.
 They could also in the interests of the takers of the city's notes examine all contracts and expenditures charge able to the city.
 Such an impartial committee of en- gineers and practical builders who have handled big jobs could be of great help to the eity's engineering depart ment, which now seems severely handi- capped for want of money to employ more high-ciaes men in the many de- mands made even now on it.

 This is by long odds the most seri- ous aspect of the problem. The city has already reached it's reasonable limit of usual bond issues. ~ F Life and property will still face in creasing dangers.

 The situation now is complicated.
 There is a strong mad increasing pop ular demand that it be opened through. But when, how and who will bear the Octs are serious questions.
 Still it seems safe to believe that the railroads will do their best to deal with it in a generous and helpful way! If the railroads would arrange to stop all local switching across Twentieth and Sixteenth at once OF within 6O or 90 days, except between say IF mid night and 6 a. m., it would be a great relief.
