ROAD PROBLEMS

The announcement of the State
Highway Commission that all future
roads taken over for state routes
must first be widened to sixty feet
by the counties through which they
pass, may have an important effect
upon Hunterdon county's road sys-
TEN. While widening the prospective
state roads to sixty feet may not be
an insurmountable obstacle, it will
unquestionably greatly retard the
work and give the weather. coun-
ties a chance at state extensions be-
fore Hunterdon.
One of the most badly needed
links in the Hunterdon county high
way system is good road from
Pennington to Clinton, and another
is from Pennington to Three Bridges.
Both of these will be used extern
sively by motorists from this end
of the county, as well as by local
travellers
The efforts of Delaware Town
ship and Pennington borough to
secure a county road from Stockton
to Pennington means lot to this
section, as well as to Pennington.
The section through Raritan Town
ship was stoned some years ago, but
Delaware Township never connect
ed up with it, and it's care has been
neglected until it needs repairs and
improvements. The taking over of
the Raritan Township section, al
ready stoned, and the Stockton Ser
geantsville section, built of stone
and cinders, by the county, would
give a direct route from the new
Delaware River bridge at Stockton
to the county seat, and would also
afford Lambertvillians practically
as direct route as the present one
via Ringoes. 1t would add largely
to the desirability of property along
it's entire length, and will, in few
years, develop enough new taxables
to take care of the extra expense
caused by the issuance of the bonds.
There is some objection in Della
ware Township to having that mu-
nicipality pay $4,000 toward the
cost of rebuilding this road, if the
county takes it over. But others
point out that it will be cheaper
than the present method, which will
never develop property or save con-
slant repair expense.

Qualities of Magnet
Explained by Science

The coast and geodetic survey says
that every magnet possesses two kinds
of magnetism, that In one end being
different from what Is in the other.
If the magnet Is hung up on thread
so that 1t Is free to turn and a second
magnet Is brought up to 1t, II may be
noticed that the near end of the sec
ond magnet draws one end of the sus-
pended magnet and repels the other.
The repulsion Is exerted between like
kinds of magnetism and the attraction
between unlike kinds. The earth has
all the characteristics of a permanent
magnet, and for this reason sus-
pended magnet, when allowed to come
to rest, will take up definite posi-
ton, which Is determined by the di-
rection of the earths magnetism at
the place The end of the magnet
which points in a northerly direction
In this vicinity is frequently called
the north pole of the magnet, but the
term north-seeking pole is better. as 1t
distinguii hes the magnetism of the
north end of the magnet from that
of the magnetic North pole OF the
earth which is opposite in kind, as at
traction is only exerted between poles
of opposite character.

Many Kinds of Oaks

There are 300 kinds of oak trees hav-
ing vastly different characteristics, but
they have one common feature, and
that is they all produce acorns. The
white oak Is so called because 1t has a
rather white bark. while the black
oaks ba'k is quite dark, black to all
lntents and purposes during the wood
age" Live oak was always preferred
for shipbuIlding and for heavy duty,
but just why it was named live" is
matter of doubt.
At one time the island Of Nantucket
was covered with live oaks, but the
land was denuded of this timber years
ago during the whaling activities, when
several shIpbuildlng yards fiourlshed
on the island and great fleet of whal-
ers was built there.
