after, for another decade or two,
politicians who lacked more convinc-
ing campaign material were wont to
drag out, from time to time, the
Bloody Shirt, to be waved in the
faces of American citizens in the hope
that smoldering hates and passions
might thereby be famed into a blaze
of votes.
Sometimes the Bloody Shirt got re-
suits at the polls. Sometimes it did
not. AS the years went by it's eff
ficacy as an oriflame in the battles
of politics gradually waned. By the
end of the Ninteenth Century, the
Bloody Shirts obsolescence was Just
about complete.
Twenty-eight years ago the sons of
Union and Confederate soldiers fought
shoulder to shoulder under Old Glory
in Cuba and the Philippines. Thir-
teen years ago, surviving veterans of
Gettysburg, both Union and Confed-
crate, assembled ON that historic field
and clasped hands in a memorable
reunion. Eight years ago grandsons
of the Union and Confederate soldiers
fell side by side in the hell-torn wheat
fields of Chateau Thierry.
The fathers buried the Bloody
Shirt. So did the sons. Likewise the
grandsons. But now, after all these
years, it is dragged out once more

ROAD WEAR ON TIRES
is SHOWN BY TEST

An ordinary tire will lose one
ounce in weight from wear in a 500
mile run over concrete or brick pave
ment, according to tests made by the
Highway Research board. But the
same tire will lose two to seven
ounces from wear on q gravel road,
and from 10 to so ounces on a 500
mile run on macadam, depending upon
the condition of the surface.
Results of the tests are announced
in q recent address by Pro. S. S. Stein
berg of the University Of Maryland,
assistant director of the bureau, a
copy of which has just been received
by c. NJ. Babcock, state commissioner
of highways.
Studies made of the consumption
of gasoline on different types Of roads
show that the increased fuel consump-
ton on dirt roads costs the motorist
as much as if he had to pay "gas
tax" of "a cents gallon. Good grav-
ell roads impose an additional expendi-
ture equivalent to nine cent tax.
Compared with the tax imposed by
bad roads, the gas tax that is paid for
highway Improvement is truly in
significant" says Prof. Steinberg.
The Highway research board is
composed Of representatives of the
Federal bureaus of roads, the state
highway departments, and the engi-
neering departments of a number of
the larger universities Highway
engineers are treating the highway
and the vehicle as unit" says Prof
Steinberg, "and are endeavoring to
determine the wear of one upon the
other, so that roads may be designed
to fit the vehicle. Likewise, automo-
bile manufacturers are modifying
vehicle design better to fit road con-
ditiOns." The research board I'M
takes tests which individual states
cannot make, on account of the cost.
Just now the bureau is working on
a new type of cement, which, when
used in concrete, develops greater
strength in "a hours than is develop
ed by ordinary cement in '28 days.
Instead of closing a road for Sour
ing" the concrete, at may now be pos
sible to build a portion of concrete
road on one day and open it to traf-
fic the next"
A number of standard makes of
automobiles have been tested for wind
resistance. The bureau finds that
when you drive at 35 miles an hour
your use, on the average, eight horse
power to overcome wind resistance. |
If you reduce your speed to 25 miles
an hour, you save five horsepower.

The Deligny Baths, Turkish in de-
sign, were built between 1901 and
1903. and are among the few open-air
baths that have remained in Paris
since the coming of modern plumbing.
At one time it was the great fashion
to bathe in the Seine, there being no
fewer than 80 baths anchored in the
river. The popularity of the bicycle
ended the fashion. The Parisians,
finding insufficient time for both
sports. gave up the bathing.
The reign Of Charles the Tenth was
the most f1ourishing time for the
''Bains Deligny." Only the aris-
tocracy used them in those days.
