GOOD, FAIR, POOR
ROADS ARE DEFINED
BUT HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT
CONDITIONS WILL NOT BE
CHANGED.

Standardized definitions of "good,'
'fair," and poor" roads will here
after be used in the weekly condition
reports of the Minnesota Highway
department, according to bulletin
received by The Gazette. This is
probably the first attempt made in
any state to put a definite meaning
into these terms.
Formerly it has been often mat
ter of personal opinion whether a
certain road was good or only fair.
One man might call any road good
if it was better than the roads OF
twenty years ago. Another Wou-d
not concede that any road was good
unless it was as smooth and hard as
a pavement. Even the sixteen dis
trict superintendents who furnish the
data upon which the weekly reports
are based, did not always agree.
"The new standards should over
come the disputes as to the classlfl-
cation of any piece of road, but they
will not prevent the sudden changes
which often take place in gravel or
dirt roads," said Commissioner c. M.
Babcock. "a road may be put In
first class condition during the week
by the maintenance forces, and by
Sunday afternoon it may be all cut
up by the heavy weekend traffic.
Changes in weather will also change
the surface of some roads very quick
ly. Where travel is light, a gravel
road properly maintained will usual
ly remain good regardless of wealth
er, but where traffic is heavy, the
only road which will be as good on
Sunday as on Wednesday, is the paw
ed road. But the new definitions
should give a fairly clear idea OF
the surface of the road under average
conditions"
The terms in the road condition re-
ports are defined as follows:
"Paved" No further description
in needed on hard-surfaced roads ex-
cept in the winter, when they may be
"snow blocked" for short periods.
"Fair." Any road which is narrow,
rough, muddy, sandy, or having any
other condition which makes 1t nee
essary to go slow, but possible to
continue in high gear with standard
make of car in good average condi-
ton.
"Poor." Any road where it is nee
essary for cars of any standard make
to travel in second or low speed, due
20 road surface. Steep grades, turns,
crossings, etc, which make it neces-
sary to shift or 90 slow, do not make
a road poor" if the condition is 9TH
erwise good.
"Impassible" is self-explanatory,
Except that a road where the major
'ity of cars get through on their own
power, but an occasional car gets
stuck, is listed as poor" but not i'm
passible.

Ears Become Aftuned
to Familiar Noises

That both women and men of this
generation are more subject than their
forebears to nervous breakdowns Is
the claim of most experts. On the
other hand, it is denied by a few
whose opinions carry weight.
The effect Of the noise Of modern
life is being very carefully studied by
the Institute of Industrial Psychology,
and Doctor Miles, a member of the
staff, has reached the conclusion that
the bad effect Of noise on human
nerves Is far less than it has been
supposed to be.
Investigation seems to indicate that
one can adjust to the increasing
noises of modern cities with great
rapidity and ease and that little or
no harm is done.
Typis:s placed at work for hours
in the most internal uproar-steam
whistles, crashing tinware, pistol shots
and intermittent groans and screams
are troubled only until the novelty
wears off. Then nerves quiet down
and the noises cease to be impressed.
The woman who is excessively an
noyed by noise should be examined
by a physician, for there usually is
something of serious Importance CIV
ing rise to the nerves. City

Kaisers Experts Let
Big Opportunity Pass

Colonel Deport, inventor of the "75,"
the rapid-firing gun that saved
France, died a few years after the
war. Before he passed away the COL
onel wrote the story Of the gun and
revealed how France came within an
ace of losing the plans and models
long before the war. When the first
models had been constructed. they
were carefully sealed in freight car
and shipped to an isolated section of
the country for tryOut. The car
was by mistake hooked up to a goods
train, destined for Germany and &C.
tually landed on German soil. The
Germans opened the car and immedi-
ately officers Of the artillery school
came down to examine the guns mi
nutely. But they let them 60 again, re-
porting that no officer would be able
to manage a battery of guns that
could each fire hundred shots per
minute. And so the gun came back,
though the Germans managed to make
an imperfect copy. The real secret
Of the hydropneumatique was never
mastered in Germany. even in 1914,
when the kaiser's armies captured
plenty of mOdels.-Pierre Van Paas-
sen, in the Atlanta Constitution.

Napoleon Unique in
Capacity for Work

Napoleon "could work for eighteen
hours for a stretch at one subject or
many" No S-hour day for him.
"Never," says Roederer, "have l seen
his mind weary; never have / seen
his mind without spring; not in the
strain of body, wrath or the most vio-
lent exercise" One of his ministers
complained that 1T would require a
constitution Of iron to 60 through
with what we do. After a days ride
in carriage we no sooner alight than
we mount on horseback and some
times remain in our saddles for ten
or twelve hours successfully" In his
fortieth year Napoleon rode ninety
miles without stirrups in five hours
and half. His surgeon, Percy, said
that he was made of iron, soul and
body, always on horseback, galloping
about in all weathers, bivouacking,
working like ten men, never Ill, never
tired" Even his enemies declared
that Napoleon had capacity for work
equal to that of four other men,

Highest Tributes to
Value of FRIENDSHIP

Seneca, famous Roman, born in "a
B. c., crowned friendship very ten
derby:
"Of all felicities the most charm
ing Is that of firm and gentle friend
ship. 1t sweetens all our cares, dis
pels our sorrows and counsels us in all
extremities. Nay, if there were no
other comfort in it than the bare exer-
else in so generous virtue, even for
that single reason a man would not be
without it; it is a sovereign antidote
against all calamities-even against
the fear Of death ITSELF"
Five centuries later, Euripides, the
Greek dramatist, "a master in the
handling Of the tender and the pa
thetic," laid down what friendship
meant to him. 1T is a good thing to
be rich,' he said, land a good thing
to be strong, but it is a better thing
to be beloved Of many friends"

FeU Trumes in America

Truffles are subterraneous fungi,
and in Europe, especially in France,
are collected quite extensively for
food. While a few varieties of truf-
fles or related forms are found grow
ing wild in this country, their cult
walton is not commercial proposition.
1t is recognized that truffles grow es-
pecially in association with certain
oaks, and some years ago the Depart
ment of Agriculture imported and dis
tributed two Or three species of these
oaks, but the industry has never real
ly been developed in this country.
Abroad, in regions where truffles are
abundant, they are collected by aid
of dog or pig, or small animal hav-
ing keen sense of smell. Truffie
hunting is an important business and
requires considerable experience and
knowledge of forests.

"Nagging"

From the days of Socrates and Kan
tippe, men and women have known
what is meant by nagging, although
philOlogy cannot define it or legal
chemistry resolve it into its elements.
Humor cannot soften or wit divert it.
Prayers avail nothing and threats are
idle. Soft words will increase its
velocity, and harsh ones it's violence.
Darkness has for 1t no terrors, and the
long hours Of the night draw no dra-
perry of the couch around it. The
chamber where love and peace should
dwell becomes an inferno, driving the
poor man to the saloon, the rich one
to the club, and both to the arms of
the harlot. 1t takes the sparkle out of
the wine Of life, and turns at night
into ashes the fruits of the labor of the
day.-Justice Hill, in Vests Docket.

Didn't Hatch

A school teacher relates that she
was giving her small pupils lesson
on birds, and after telling about the
Matching of the eggs, the care of the
mother bird and the first lessons in
flying, she said: Now, children,
am the mother bird and you are the
little birds nestled in your cozy nest.
1 want you all to spread your wings
and fly away"
Each child, waving arms to the mu-
sic she beat, skipped to the dressing
room, with the exception of one little
fellow who remained motionless In his
seat. Turning to him, she said:
Donald, why didn't you fly away with
all the other little birds?"
"Cause," came the prompt and un-
expected reply, "'Cause 1 was a bad
egg."-BOstOn Transcript.

Teach the Child to
Read With Pleasure

A very superficial study Of a child's
mind would reveal the fact that the
primary characteristic is imitation. In
fact, this single trait includes the ma
jority Of the acquisitive powers of a
child up to the age Of seven. If
child were shut off from all human
contact, all reading matter, until It
were seven years Of age, the brain of
the child would be that Of month
old infant. The problem becomes
that of furnishing the proper examples
for the child to initiate. His play
mates are selected by watchful par
ents. They endeavor to create an
ideal home life for the child, but few
pay any attention to the proper selec-
ton Of reading matter for the child.
The most indelible Impressions made
on child's mind are those made by
pictures and words encountered in the
reading of the child. The goal striven
for by most parents is early instruc-
ton for their children. That, in some
cases, is grave mistake. During the
formative period, that is, the early
years of the life Of the child, the aim
should be to amuse the child and not
to attempt to instruct 1t before its
brain can grasp the lesson set be-
fore it.
The child's reading should be such
that he himself can understand 1t.
The stories should be "amusingly imi-
tative." The characters should enter
the play life' of the child. Let the
reading serve as pleasant companion
for your child, not as hated task
master.-Kansas City Star.

Forming Habits

Thoughts and habits travel by GER
tain nerve-rOutes, and the same
thoughts and habits always by the
same routes. These get in time actu-
ally we'll trodden, like footpath, and
a nerve-current will flow more readily
along them than through an unaccus-
toned channel. To prove it, try and
write, or use knife or spoon, with
the left hand. A physiological reason
why habits are so easy to check at
first, so difficult afterwards, is thus
shown. Never, then, let child &C.
quire bad habits, however trivial. An
immense amount of liberalization may
be done between two and six years
of age with far less difficulty than
afterwards.

Ton1mys Manners

The substantial part of the meal
was finished, and the dainties were
on the table. Tommy's eyes bright
ened-it was an interesting moment
for him. "Will you take tart or pud-
ding?" asked his father.
Tart" said Tommy, promptly.
The parent sighed as he recalled the
many lessons in good manners and
decent behavior which he had endeav-
ored to instill into his son. "Tart,
what?" he queried gently. But Tom
my's eyes were glued upon the pastry.
TART, what?" again asked the father
sharply.
Tommy hesitated for a moment. He
looked from his father to the delicacy,
as If for inspiration, then: "Tart,
first!" he said, triumphantly.
