Water Held in Fallen
Leaves Stops Erosion

The blanket of leaves from one
years leaf fall in the forest may
weigh more than a ton an acre,
says the United States Department
Of Agriculture. Federal forest serv-
ice Investigators find that a heavy
litter is capable Of holding vast
amounts of water and slowing up
the run-Off which without the pro-
tecting blanket would quickly erode
the soil.
In studying the protective value
of leaf litter and the result of its
removal by fire or other agency, in
vestigators found that the 1890 fall
of dry leaves gathered up on half
acre of pine-oak forest at the Bent
Creek experimental forest near
Asheville, \. c., weighed 1900
pounds, oven dry weight. Accumu-
lated dry leaves and litter on the
tract previous to the first cleanup
weighed five and One-half tons to
the acre, dry weight. From two
to three Years are required for de-
composition of the litter, and a
heavy blanket of leaves is thus nor
mally present on the area. AS a
consequence of removal of the
ground cover for this study, ero-
sion set in on the area. although
the rainfall was unusually slight.

Meteor Tombstone Over

ulated that the visitor from the

Years ago, the story runs, Mr.

yard one evening when he heard a
tremendous swishing noise and saw
a binding flash across the sky. He
noticed a terrific heat, as did his
neighbors. Then there was a crash
at the far end of his farm.
He went there and found a hole
in the ground about Is feet across.
Two weeks later he dug out the
meteor. Then he decided to make

Many Generations of
Hapsburg Jaw and Lip

The HapSburg jaw with its hang
ing lips has been traced, by DR.. F..
d. Woods, back through eighteen
generations to long-chinned, thick
Tipped patriarch of Hapsburg cas-
tie. who married a virile woman
with a lower lip that touched her
chin. Since these two hanging lips
came together, the HapsburgS-in
Austria as well as Spain-have
transmitted both the hanging lip
and prOtruding jaw to their de-
scendants. particularly to their
male progeny.
When Philip the Handsome of
Austria married Mad Johanna,
daughter of Ferdinand and Isa-
bella, it was his lips and not her
thin ones that dominated the dy-
nasty that ended with Alfonso.
Whoever wishes to learn the
whole story of the Hapsburg Jaw
and lip will find it in books on Men
delism.
In certain families, Darwin
wrote, some ancestors have had
great power in transmitting their
likeness through the male line; for
we cannot understand how the
same features should so often be
transmitted after marriage with
various females, as has been the
case with the Austrian emperors."

HIGHWAYS COST $4,000, 900
NJ. NJ. Daugherty Publishes Inter
esting Survey of Delaware Roads

y
esting Survey of Delaware Roads
The fact that the highways of
Delaware have cost approximately
$2O,O00,O0O was brought out in an
interesting manner by M. M.
Daugherty, economist at the Uni
versity of Delaware, in a bulletin
he has prepared and had published
on Studies in Taxation in Della
ware Highway Finance" The
growth of the States highway sys-
tenn is explained at length by Mr..
Daugherty. Mr.. Daugherty goes
into the question: of highways thor
oughly and gives a history Of road
building in the State starting long
before the present modern high
ways were even thought Of He
shows that the first attempt to
building roads was ordered by the
Court of New Castle and each fam
lily was ordered to furnish one
member for the construction work.
This was more than two hundred
years ago. The next step a hun
dred years later was the building
of toll roads or turnpikes. The
writer of the bulletin tells of what
the Federal Government has done
towards aiding in permanent road
building He relates the starting
of the good road movement in Del
aware and the creating of the pres
ent State Highway Department in
1917. The DUPONT Boulevard, a
gift to the State from the late Sen
ator Coleman DUPONT, cost S3,917,-
004, and Pierre S. DUPONT built the
road from Wilmington to the
Pennsylvania line at cost of
$764, ,288, also a gift to the State
The gasoline tax first imposed un-
der a bill passed in 1928 has done
much towards providing funds for
carrying out the highway program
that with the automobile license
money. The bulletin shows that
up to July 1 of last year the High
way Department had expended $3,-
500, ,104 from revenue for highway
construction and issued $1,000, 900
highway bonds, which makes the
entire cost of carrying on Della
wares highway program during
the past IS years, including the
gifts, about $20,0O0,000. Mr.
Daugherty's bulletin is of special
interest to automobilists and every
citizen interested in permanent
highways.
