Bond Issue Economic
Hutchinson Leader Says Minneso-
ia Should Have a Forward
Looking Road Policy

In an editorial headed Needed,
Progressive leadership" the
Hutchinson Leader advocates a
bond issue much larger than that
advocated by C. M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner. The ed
itorial, pointing out the need of
modern roads to fit modern condi-
tions, says:
There is need in Minnesota Of a
political leader of vision and fore
sight. For instance, the state should
have a forward-looking highway
policy. We confess that we have
not heretofore advocated anything
revolutionary. We have been as
conservative as the worst, but we
are beginning to see the light. Min
nesota is making time in highway
development and getting nowhere.
Modern conditions demand good
roads. We have passed beyond the
age of horse and wagon transpor-
tation. 1t is too expensive to
maintain dirt and gravel roads for
heavy traffic and causes too much
wear and tear on cars and trucks.
The pay-as-you-gc policy will new
er build hard-surfaced roads, at
least in, time for this generation to
use them. Why should we who are
here now, and never~will be on
earth again, be denied modern IA
cilities of transportation? We have
the cars, but lack the roads re-
quired for economical motor travel.
Hutchinson should have at least
two hard surfaced trunk highways,
one running east and west, one
north and south. Under prevail
ing policies she will never get
them, in our time. Not only Hut
Crimson, but the whole region round
about is in the same predicament.
Mcleod county could be we'll
served by two east and west paved
highways and two north and south,
and should have them.
This requires bond issue. We
think Commissioner Babcock with
his twenty million dollar bond pro-
posal is all too timid and modest.
1t would take a hundred million
dollars to build the roads the state
ought to have. The highway de-
partment could furnish figures to
show why it would be economy to
borrow even that enormous sum to
build the roads at once, rather than
waste the same amount in a long
period of gravel and dirt road
maintenance.
A bond issue presupposes a
sound system for sinking funds and
retirement in due time. 1t is not
necessarily imposing an unjust
burden on prosperity. Borrowing
money for some purposes is en-
tirely justifable. This is one such
purpose. Modern business is
largely conducted on borrowed
capital. It is the only way to
keep the surplus money of the
country working.
Benefits to farmers of this coun-
ty from four such trunk roads as
suggested above in saving on wear
and tear, in improved facilities for
marketing products, in increased
farm values, in better prices, in
saving of tindN, would more than
offset interest charges on bonds,
though there would be no need of
charging interest or principal to
general taxation.
Some other states are awake to
the highway needs of their peo-
pie, but we are still sleeping.
Where is the man of vision and
enthusiasm who can wake us I'D -.

be the most certain, practical test In de-
termining what is or is not a fixture,
still this rule is neither an absolute or
unfailing test nor one that is entirely
satisfactory, so the property owner per-
picked by such problem must analyze
further.
1.-THE simple criterion Of physical an
nexation of an article to the real estate
is inadequate to determine whether or
not 1t has become fixture, because
annexation as term can be interpreted
in so many different ways. For ex-
ample, a building erected on land by
virtue of contract between the builder
and land owner may continue to remain
the formers personal property.
Articles not actually and pernlan-
emily fastened or annexed to the prop
erty may nevertheless be fixtures be-
yond all disputes, as is the case Of
doors, windows, sashes and blinds OF
houses merely hung loose upon, and
easily lifted, from their hinges, or OF
storm doors and double windows fitted
to a dwelling house, kept In place by
screws when In use, and taken down
and stored when not needed"

If the glare of gold or silver leaf ra-
diatorS intrudeS upon an orderly deco
rative scheme which needs no such
oStentation, it can be overcome. Often
radiators are inclosed in metal covers.
Another plan, one which makes the
radiator inconspicuous. is to paint 1t to
match the wall, says the Home Owners
Institute.
If the wall Is stippled the radiator
can be stippled, or if the wall is fin
iShed in a solid color, by painting the
radiator the same color it will melt into
the background and become part of the
wall rather than a conspicuous bulk
without decorative merit.
The procedure for painting radiators
is much like that Of painting furniture.
Dust and dirt are first removed from
the surface of the metal. If the radi-
ator happens to be new one, 1t should
first be painted with a priming coat.
II it has previously been bronzed and
is in fair condition, this coat may be
omitted.
To enamel radiators, coat Of fiat
paint should be used first. This Is fol-
lowed with coat or two OF high-grade
enamel of the desired color.
BY using the sponge, stipple finish
any conceivable color can be produced
fat paint tinted as near to the color Of
the background of the wall as possible.
Next some white paint should be tinted
the most prominent color in stippled
wall. It is then applied with sponge
cut straight across so as to produce a
fiat side. The sponge Is tamped on all
parts of the radiator with this con-
trasting color, which produces very
pretty notified effect with the UNDER
coat showing through. When this fin
ish is dry It should blend very nicely
with the wall.
For q glazed and blended finish two
coats of white paint tinted a light
cream color are applied. The second
coat should be mixed fairly thick, and
after it has been applied, while it is
still wet, stippled to make the surface
rough. This is best accomplished with
a clean, stubby brush, which is pounded
all over the surface The finish is then
allowed to dry. The next step Is to
thin down the glazing colors with oil.
Ordinary colorS in oil are used for this
purpose and are thinned just a bit more
than ordinary paint.
A coat Of the cream Is applied over
the surface and is then wiped of with
dry cloth. The hollows will retain
the color, while the higher portions will
be nearly the original cream. A very

INSULATION NEEDED
ASTERMITES REMEDY
Frame Dwellings Should Have
Wood Treated to Halt
"White Ants"

Complete insulation from the ground
of all untreated woodwork of a build
ing is the only effective preventive or
remedy against attack by Subterranean
termiteS or white ants" which are
present in many areas of the United
States and have been noted in WASH
ington, according to DR.. 7. E. Snyder,
of the Department Of Agriculture, who
has studied the pest.
DR.. Snyder, a specialist in forest en-
tomology, points out that the small
householder with a modest home Of
frame construction is the one most
likely to suffer through termite attacks
and at the same time is the one who
win be most oppressed If serious injury
follows the termite attack. He sug-
gestS changes in the building codes Of
cities to prevent injury by the pest.
There is also a group of termites that
ny and attack the wood directly. And
for these thorough fumigation Is re-
quired If damage Is to be checked. In
new buildings it is well to insure against
ternite damage by impregnating all
foundation timber with coal-tar crao-
sote and other woodwork with zinc
chloride, or some other equivalent pre-
servatives.
Insulation and impregnation of tim
bers win cost few hundred dollars ad-
ditional tn the construction of a build
ing, but DR.. Snyder believes this should
be considered in the light Of insurance.

WORK STARTS SOON
NG.U. DENTAL UNIT
Preparatory School at Gar
rett Park Ready for 0C-
cupancy Next Month.

Construction work Is expected to be-
gin In February on the second unit of
Georgetown University's extension pro-
gram, plans having been drawn and
approved for the new medical and
dental school building, which is to be
located on a section of the Georgetown
grounds bordering on the Reservoir
road near the Glover parkway.
Announcement also was made this
week that the new 10000 building Of
the Georgetown Preparatory School at
Garrett Park, Md, now nearing COM
pletion, may be ready for occupancy
next month This building VIII form
four-story wing to the already preten-
tious main building of the school.
1t had been planned originally to
locate the new medical and dental
building on land purchased by the uni
versity last Summer adjoining the
GEORGETOWN University Hospital, but
the board of directors adopted the Sug-
gestion of President w. Coleman
Nevis, S. J., that the building be situ-
ated on the Reservoir road site, which
provides ample space for the large
medical center that will be developed
there. In the meantime, the university
Is renting the houses on the square
purchased near the hospital.
The new medical and dental build
ing. as the first step in the projected
medical center. Is patterned after the
GEORGETOWN Preparatory School struc-
ture, which is of the Colonial red brick
type. 1t will be only three floors high,
so as to permit more convenient ar
rangement of lecture halls and labora-
tories and ample athletic facilities are
to be provided for the students and
faculty. Care has been taken with the
plans for the building so as to fit into
the natural landscape setting which the
site provides.
Work on the preparatory school
building was started last July, and con-
siderable work also has been done in
improving the equipment Of the school
and the grounds The new structure,
which is completed except for the in
terror fittings, conforms to the main
building. It is 100 feet long by so feet
wide, of red brick, with slate mansard
roof
Besides providing accommodations for
Is additional students, the new wing
will greatly increase the general facili-
ties Of the school. It will house the
main dining hall with a seating ca
pacity of 200 and new and larger
kitchen, as well as a chemical labora-
tory and gymnasium facilities. The
new arrangement for the dining hall
will release needed space In the older
building.
President Nevils is working out q
general building program for George
town looking to its present housing
needs and the future. Owing to the
congestion In the old medical building
at 920 H street, the requirements Of
that department Of the university are
to be met first. The new medical build
ing is expected to cost In the neighbor-
hood of 100000.
