Speedier Building of Roads Possible

SEES EUROPE'S ROADS

Speaker at Engineers Farley
Ascribes Deterioration to World
War and Lack of Funds.

"It does not require great deal OF
research to find that the cause of the

troubles are not springs but roads. The
main roads of continental Europe, once
the trade routes of the civilized world,
have deteriorated,' said Tore Franzen
in an address at the recent Summer
meeting of the Society of Automotive
Engineers In Quebec. "The World War
and lack of funds for road maintenance
are factors contributing to their rela-
lively poor condition. One can say
without exaggeration that they look like
mere trails In comparison with the IA
miliar hard-surfaced roads of America,
THE roads could perhaps be divided
roughly into two types; the old stone
roads and the dirt roads. The stone
roads, which in many cases date back
to the time of the Romans, while re-
markable for their durability, are ex-
tremely rough, relatively narrow, highly
crowned. and the surfacing Is mostly

According to an article published In

are rapidly nearing completion for the
production of motor car In Australia
and IL is reported generally that a site
for factory has been purchased AZ
Lidcomhe. an industrial suburb OF sgd
ney, and that the first Australian car
is expected to be on the road before
the end Of 1923.
Further notice stated that building
operations on the plant would begin
very shortly and machinery for the
assembly factory was already in Sydney,
having been secured in the United
states and England. Cars completed
this year will be used for demonstra-
ton purposes and they will be very
similar to a popular middle-priced
American car from 20 to % horse
power, ..
The price will be competitive one,
for the company is of the opinion that
II will be able to under sell American
cars on the market and Is also hoping
for government bounty for each car
produced. The assembly factory VIII
give employment to more than 800 men
while the manufacture OF the psrts
will employ 1900 additional men. when
production of so cars weekly is reached.

SOCIETY OF ENGINEERS
GAINS IN MEMBERSHIP
Increased Activity in Motor Field
Seen as Cause for 70 Per Cent
Growth per Month.

With the. applications averaging about
20 per month, the membership of the
Society of Automotive Engineers is
rapidly approaching 1000. It Is now
roughly $500.
The rate of increase has been very
uniform at more than 800 members Der
year for the last 10 years except dur
ing the World War period and the six
years following the war. After a de-
crease In 1915 the membership In
creased at an accelerated rate for i've
years. then decreased again In 1922
and slightly In 1924 For the next four
years the net increase was again nor
NAL, but this year 1T has accelerated
to about the maximum rate Of the
period from 1917 to 1921.
This reflects the present great activity
in motor car, motor coach and aero
nautic engineering. which is made evi-
dent In the vast improvement in the
new road vehicles and aircraft that
appeared In the market for 1928 and
that are now beginning to come out
for next year.

Boston Baseball Club
Has New Turf NIIrser,

A stock of turf grown through the
summer and fall months in unfre-
quented corners of the outfield and
the experiment of sowing grass
through snow are methods chosen by
the Boston Braves management, for
lnsuring smooth playing surface on
Braves field this year in place of the
somewhat patched and NANCY ap-
pearance the field has presented dur
ing the last few years.
Failure to grow turf on the infield
last spring, due to hard usage, this
year led to the establishment of a
turf nursery" near the center field
fagpole, where footsteps are scarce.
The new sod will be brought into the
infield after the last of the 1923
spring thaws to bolster up new grass
soWn on top of recent snowfall.
The snow planting was carried out
with seed mixture known in golfing
and baseball circles for its hardihood,
sown thickly on the snow crust. The
recent thaw sent the seeds filtering
through to the ground and a further
warm period filtered enough water to
bury the mixture several inches deep
The ground crew believes thick new
growth will result next spring.

Have Kidneys
| Examined By
| Your Doctor
Take Salts to Wash Kidneys If
Back Pains You or Bladder
Bothers

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart Of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says noted au-
thority, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyZe the kidneys in their efforts
to expel 1t from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken; then you
may suffer with a dull misery in the
kidney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness, yorr
stomach sours, tongue is coated, and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids, to help cleanse the kidneys
and flush off the bodys urinous waste,
get four ounces of Jad Salts from any
pharmacy here; take tablespoonful
in glass Of water before breakfast
for few days, and your kidneys may
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for years to help flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also
to neutralize the acids in the system
so they no longer irritate, thus often
relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot In

cent Whitewater drink.

A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION
ICorpus Christi CalIer).

CORPUS Christi Caller).
Because of a growing belief that the jury system
is inadequate in passing upon cases involving ques-
tions Of the defendants sanity, the National Crime
Commission has launched a campaign which has as its
object the placing Of such cases in the hands Of ex-
pert alienists.
The Remus case. the commission stated in a report,
was an instance Of ~the utter absurdity Of entrusting
the difficult determination Of mental responsibility Of
an accused person for his acts to twelve laymen, adj
~mittedly unable to pass on the question from their
own knowledge or training"
No effort is being made. or is contemplated for mod
flying the present jury system Of trials. Rather. in
cases where the question Of mental responsibility
arises, the sanity or insanity Of the defendant would
be passed upon by the board Of ~alienists, paid by the
state. Should the defendant be found sane. he would
stand trial as usual. save that his mental responsibility
found insane. the state could proceed with its duties
without the necessity Of conducting q long-drawn, ex-
pensive and rather inconclusive court trial.
Not the least Of the virtues of the new system
would be the fairness which it would insure to all
persons accused Of crimes. The penniless defendant,
who cannot afford the services Of alienists TO prove
him mentally irresponsible would be placed on a parity,
insofar as the law is concerned. with the millionaire
who can afford any expenditure he might wish to make
for legal talent or expert testimony"
The public has become rather disguised Of late with
the apparent travesties which have taken place in our
courts. The Remus case is but one. Few of our insti-
tutions. not even the cherished jury system. can face
changing conditions without some notifications.
