WHAT GOOD HAS 1T DONE?

Now that tarvia has been smeared
over the Valley Turnpike, automo-
biles, mems shirts, ladies' dresses
and everything generally, what real
good has been accomplished? The
road is no smoother than it was in
the first place and the edges are Just
as ragged. This tarring party was
held at public expense of about
$500 for every machine that trav-
eled the pike during the sticky period.
This is approximately what it costs
to have tar removed from a car. To
this amount must be added the cost
of tires that were punctured and
ruined, plus the tar, gravel and labor
that was used in performing the deed
In all it has been an expensive prop
osition.
They tell us this coating will add
new life to the old road bed and help
hold it together for future service.
This may be true, but all the tar in
Texas will never make and keep this
highway in first-class condition I'M
til the commission devises some plan
to prevent our roads from chipping
and breaking off along the edges.
Maryland, New Jersey and other
states have solved this same prob
lem by binding their asphalt roads
with concrete shoulders. They have
found that in the long run this meth
cd is the most economical and the
only way TO keep a much-travelled
thoroughfare in good shape. What
the people of the Valley want is a
highway that win safely take care OF
the enormous amount of traffic that
passes through our country every
day. Camouf1aging a road with tai
may be all right, but it will never
serve the purpose of first-class con
crete-shouldered highway. and this is
what the Valley needs.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

BY order of the School Board of
Shenandoah County, at a special
meeting held on July 20, 1925, the
tuition for high school pupils in the
county will be the same as last year,
namely $500, payments to be made
in two installments, $3.50 at the
opening of the session in the fall and
.S12.50 the latter part of January,
1926.
AS has been customary in the past,
the clerk of the County School Board
will visit all the high schools of the
county on September 16. II and IS,
for the purpose of collecting the tut
ton of S1250 from each member of
the high schools of the county. By
order of the School Board this tuition
must be paid within ten days from
the opening of school on September
IA, and the various principals of the
high schools will be notified in adj
vance just when the clerk will visit
TIC SShoOio Aoi tAC puA Po'S "a SoAAOeI
ing this tuition, and the pupils will
be notified so they may have their
tuition in hand when the clerk visits
their school, or said tuition may be
handed to the principal before that
date if more convenient. 1t is hoped
the parents will make note of this
matter so these buttons will be paid
promptly and in full. The clerk is
instructed to accept no partial pay
ments of tuition, but the same must
be paid in full.

BETTER SERVICE

I'm not the guy to fuss and tear,
Or make good folks feel nervous,
But some sweet phone girls make me
swear,
The way they try to serve us.
They think that switchboards are the
place
To do some beauty sleeping
And that an effort will erase
The Venus form they're seeking.
They like to find some love-lorn tale,
And spend their work-time reading.
Instead of listening to the wall
OF 'phoners vainly pleading.
They seem to think that other folks
Have beaueoup time to squander,
While they tell friends some chest
nut jokes
And let their bright minds wander.
They let you ring the bell near out.
Before they stop to answer,
Which makes you jump and cuss
and shout
Like some unearthly dancer.
On geei if they would only try
And give us better service,
we'd sing their praises to the sky
Why don't they try to do this?

THIS LEGISLATION NEEDED

If the coming session of the Vir-
ginia Legislature will be as much
concerned over the sacrifice of hui
man life as it viii be over segrega-
tion and equalization of taxes, re-
mediable legislation will be enacted
to lower the appalling death roll in
the State due to automobile accidents.
Conceding that recklessness is re-
sponsible for a great number of
these fatalities, yet under our Vir-
ginia law there is no restriction in
age or eapability in allowing anybody
and everybody to drive automobiles
on our highways Drivers from the
sucking stage to senility are allowed
to pilot machines. and lives are jeop-
ardized by youth and old age.
The man with poor vision and the
neurasthenic woman both are enti-
It'd to hazard their own lives and en-
danger the lives of others.
Other states require an examina-
ton as to qualifications as drivers,
and protect the lives of motorists as
much as the laws can protect them
Why should not such laws be en-
acted in Virginia?
Why should motorists be murdered
or manned because of the ineompe-
tence of drivers?
Certainly carelessness results in
accidents. but the sane motorist is
not going TO take unnecessary risks.
