President Roosevelt Names Com
mission to French Road
Congress.
Washington, D. C President
Roosevelt has directed that this Na
tion be strongly and officicially rep
resented at the International Road
Congress to be held at Paris the
week beginning October 11, and
credentials have been issued naming
Logan Walter Page, Director of the
Office of Public Roads of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Chair
man of the Commission. The other
members -of the commission are,
Col. Charles S. Bromwell of the U.
S. Corps of Engineers, now nervine
u - n
as Supt. of the Buildings and
Grounds of the District of Columbia,
and Clifford Richardson, of New
York, an eminent chemist and one
of the world's acknowledged author
ities on bituminous road building
materials.
This coming Congress which will
be attended by distinguished dele
gates from every country in the
world, is regarded by highway en
gineers and experts as probably the
most important ever summoned for
the discussion of an economic ques
tion. Its need is the direct out
growth of the advent of the automo
bile, for while thousands are igno
rant of the fact, the soft tires of the
modern motor car are the greatest
menace the hard surface thorough
fares of the world have ever been
called upon to face. To understand
how a pneumatic tire made of rub
ber could possibly injure a road sur
faced with crushed rock, one must
have at least a faint understanding
of the theories on which first
Taesauget of Limoges and the Mac-
Adam of Ayr, built that class of
highway. They figured that a road
composed of crushed stone would
not only endure the constant traffic
of iron tired vehicles, but would im
prove because the metal-bound
wheels would be constantly crush
ing the stones and forming a rock
dust. That dust would, they argu
ed, not only sift , itself into all the
cracks and interstices, but would
fill all surface inequalities and when
wet would be rolled into a smooth,
impervious, water-shedding, shell
like surface.
They reasoned well, built wisely,
and for over a century and a quar
ter the so-called macadam road did
everything that the famous French
and Scotch highway engineers claim
ed it capable ot. It came to be the
ideal road for suburban sections,
and thousands of miles were built.
France to date has pent 8600,000,000
on her incomparable system of rock
surfaced National routes and the
United States has followed to a de
gree, possessing at the present time
approximately 32,000 miles of this
class of highway.
Prior to the advent of the auto
mobile the roads improved, but the
modern speed vehicle had not been
traversing and suburban highways
long before a pronounced retroges
sion of the most generally traveled
stretches was very noticeable. Com
plaints came from farmers and from
dwellers along suburan roads that a
great dust nuisance had also sprung
up and that emereld lawns were tak
ing on the hue of London fog and
that box hede was dove grey rath
er than green. Fruit farmers noted
their products becoming gritty and
prices fell off.
Investigation proved at once that
the new conditions had been created
by the automobile and highway en
gineers in every civilized land began
studying the new condition and
seeking for a remedy. In this coun
try, Director Page conducted a se
ries of interesting experiments in
which various classes of automobiles
were sent at varying rates of speed
over selected stretches of road, while
expert photographers pictured their
progress and produced prool that
the tractive force ol the rear tires
did the damage. While he was
watching that work and was expert
menting with various dust laying
liquids, France was doing the same
on an even larger scale. That coun
try, which expends fast sums anna
ally on maintaining the well-nigh
perfect systeu of highways it has
been building since the days of the
first Napoleon, made a most com
plete set of measurements and learn
ed that the automobiles bad caused
the roads of the Republic to retro
grade fully forty per cent It was
decided to summon the thought,
akifl and intelligence of the world to
combat a condition which means
great financial losses and the official
invitations to the Congress were sent
out, the French Government formal
ly requesting the U. 8. Government
to participate in the Congress.
That President Roosevelt k per
sonally so deeply interested in- the
coming gathering as to send the Di
rector of Roads and his distinguish
ed associates to France may by
some be regarded as evidence of a
National awakening to the vast im
portance good roads are to the na
tion. Invitations have been transmitted
through the Office of Public Roads
to State Highway Commissioners,
City Engineers and Park Commis
sioners to attend the Congress and
already a number of delegates have
been selected.
A Trap For Wasps.
Teachers' Magazine.
One day I went into a lady's gar
den. She was watching the bees
bring honey to the hives and trying
to drive the wasps ftway.
She told me that the wasps were
eating the ripe plums, and trying to
get into her bee-hives to steal the
honey. She took a large pitcher and
put in a spoonful of molasses, a lit
tle sugar, and some strong-smelling
spirits.
She stirred these all together with
a spoon, tied a piece of paper tight
ly over the pitcher, and cut a hole
in the middle of the paper large
enough so that a wasp could just get
through. Then she put the pitcher on
the ground in front of the hives, and
set a bowl of clean water on the
board for the bees.
When the bees were thirsty they
drank of they water and went to
work again with a will. But the
waBps wanted to know what was in
the pitcher. One of them settled
on the paper. As soon as he smell
ed what was inside, he went down
the hole and began to buzz and
hum.
His friends heard him and thought
he should not have all the fun to
himself. So they followed him into
the trap, one by one, till there were
scores of them inside.
Now this pitcher w as like most
traps easy to get into, but hard to
get out of. Not a wasp that went
down the hole came out. I asked
the lady if she was not afraid the
bees would go into the trap.
She smiled and said: "No, sir,
the bees have something else to do.
The idle wasps walk into the trap
and lose their lives, but the busy
bee mind their work and are saio."
Debt and Getting Money.
The following from the Yorkville,
(S. C.) Enquirer is worthy a place
in your scrap-book:
The most satisfactory way of get
ting rid of a debt is to pay it.
The best way of keeping out of
debt is to buy nothing on credit that
can be dispensed with.
The man who contracts a debt in
the absence of a definite idea as to
how he is going to pay it, is very
dishonest or very foolish.
There are men who think it smart
to get the money of their fellowmen
under pretense of a loan to be re
paid; but there are other men who
think this practice very criminal.
The suspected sneak thief stands
pretty low in the estimation of hon
est people; but be stands several
points higher than the known debtor
who continues to use money for his
own pleasure and enjoyment while
his honest debts remain unpaid.
Of the peogle who hold that the
world ows tbem a living, some un
derstand that the living is to be se
cured through honest work; some 1
think that they are justified in re
sorting to burglary, sneak thieving
and highway robbery; others more
contemptible and cawardly than the
last named class, prefer to resort to
the practice of betraying the confi
dence of unsuspecting fellowmen.
The sneak thief and the highway
robber can be reached by law, when
they are caught; but the fellow who
depends upon borrowing that which
he does not intend to return is safe
from every form of punishment ex.
cept the well, merited contempt of
honest men. ,
The servile beggar is far better
than the man who borrows with the
deliberate purpose of swindling,
fmmUj Mcettclaa.

Washington Letter.
Washington, June 13, 1908.
Mr. Bryan's lead in the race for
the Democratic Presidential nomi
nation increases from week to week
and, apparently, the opposition has
given up all hope of defeating him,
or of even preventing his nomination
on the first ballot. The attention of
Democratic politicians in Washing
ton is now turned to the second
place on the ticket, and while there
have been many rumors connecting
John Mitchell with this place, it is
now believed that the labor vote
would not be especially pleased by
such a choice. The claim io made
that Mitchell would be
more influential as governor
of the State of Illinois, to which
office he is said to aspire, than as
presiding officer of the Senate.
A question which seems to agitate
the minds of many politicians, both
Democratic and Republican, is the
platform that the Democracy will
make at Denver, and the claim is
made that if it condemn government
ownership of railroads, it cannot
nominate Mr. Bryan, and if it in
dorse government ownership, it will
be tantamount to a surrender of the
election in advance; again, if it be
silent on that question and nominate
a man in favor of it, the party will
have the burden of the issue to car
ry. It is generally admitted to be a
knotty problem and the question is:
What will the convention do with
it?.
It is understood that much of the
platform is already written and that
it will declare for tariff revision in
the interest of those who tavor the.
revision and against the revision of
the revision of the tariff by the
friends and beneficiaries of that
measure. It will endorse W. J.
Bryan, and it will contain censure
of the Republican part' for its reck
less and extravagant expenditures;
denounce the action of the lower
House of Congress in passing the
Crumpacker bill to restrict Southern
representation in Congress; and de
clare for the improvement of the
public highways.
A movement has been set on foot
to make Washington the permanent
convention city of the Grand Army
of the Publio and a systematic cam
paign has been instituted, with this
end in view, by the Board of Di
rectors of the Chamber of Commerce
of this city. At a meeting of the
board it was decided to have the
secretary of the chamber communi
cate with every Grand Army post in
the country, and with such other
organizations and individuals as may
be of benefit in accomplishing the
desired result.
Governor Glenn, of North Caro
lina, called on theTresident recen t
ly, by whom he was most cordially
received, and he told a correspond
ent that he was just in receipt oi a
letter from Mr. Bryan asking bim to
second his nomination for the Presi
dency. Secretary Straus has arranged for
a thorough investigation of the op
erations of the telegraph companies,
the wages they psy, the condition of
their employes, the hours of labor,
and other matters pertaining to the
operation of the companies. Secre
tary Straus hss placed the investi
gation in the hands of the Commis
sioner of Labor, Dr. Chas. P. Neill,
and the Commissioner of Corpora
tions, Herbert Knox Smith. ' They
will cooperate in the work of inquiry,
Commissioner Neill looking after the
labor end and Commissioner Smith
conducting the -investigation into
the financial affairs of the compan
ies. The report will be ready tor
submission to the Senate when it
reconvene in December next.
The aDtivivisectionists of Wash
ington are planning a mil "cam
paign of education and enlightment,
which they hope will result in gov
ernment regulation of vivisection.
They have been greatly encouraged
in their efforts by 'the adherents
they are daily adding from Wash
ington's most substantial residents.
The number of physicians, as pedal
ly, who have signified great interest
in the movement and have lent their
signatures to the cause is exciting
mnca comment. According to the
claim of the enthusiasts, vivisection
is not done for the most part by doe
form, bat by physiologists, and while
the practice has been defended by
the medical profession, they dalm
the pbysieans are now coining to
feel that it is being carried too tar
and ahould be regulated.
The Department of Commerce aod
Labor is formulating regulations un
der which the act will become effec
tive passed by Congress at it re
oent stion making the government
liable to certain classes of employes
injured in the course of their em
ployment. Investigations of acci
dents for which claims for damages
have been filed will be made by the
Commissioner of Labor, and while
no appropriation is carried by the
act for making these investigations,
Secretary Strans is of the opinion
that an arrangement can be made by
which the work may be carried oh
expeditiously and satisfactorily
without the addition of any great
expense to the department.
To Remove Stain on White Good..
Coffee stains are easily removed
by placing the stain part over a large
boyrt and pouring boiling water over.
Treat fruit and tea stains the same
way, and if they do not disappear,
rub gently with a weak solution of
oxalic acid, rinsing well in warm
water. This last is important, for
the acid will rot the goods unless
thoroughly and immediately wash
ed out.
For iron rust or ink, cover the
spots with lemon juice and salt and
lay in the sun, repeating as often as
necessary. Rinse in weak ammon
ia water. Fresh ink stains can us
ually be removed with hot milk.
Fresh grass stains will come out
if rubbed with alcohol. -
To remove tar or carriage grease,
rub well with lard, then soak in
buttermilk, rubbing between the
hands. Machine oil stains also
yield quickly to a lard treatment.
Scorch, unless very brown, often
comes out after being exposed to hot
sunlight. If badly scorched dip in
soapsuds and then put in the sun,
or use a borax water bath end dry in
the sun. Lemon juice, salt snd
sunlight is another effective cure.
Mildewed articles should be soak
ed in buttermilk and laid on the
grass to bleach. Repeat as often as
necessary.
Turpentine removes paint from
fabrics, also from window glass. So
does benzine or naphtha.
Cleaning fluids when used to re
move spots, often leave a ring, and
this may be avoided by putting a
thick pad of absorbent cotton under
the goods to be cleaned. Holding
the ring over the steam from a tea
kettle often causes it to disappear.
Soma fttallatlea mt Crime.
A bulletin by the census bureau
contains some statistics of the prison
population of the country that are
startlingly suggestive. The statis
tics are of June 80, 1904, when the
total population of the country was
estimated to be 81,301,848. Atthat
time the country had 1,337 penal
institutions, including 4 United
States civil prisons, 67 state prisons
and state and county penitentiaries,
14 reformatories for adults, 71 muni
cipal prison's and workhouses, and
1,181 county jails. At (he dste
named these various prisons contain
ed 81.762 inmates, an averags of
100.6 per 100,000 of population.
The average seems appallingly large,
bnt it shows an improvement over
1890 when it was 131.5 per 100,000
of population.
There is some consolation in the
fact that, apt-ailing as ths aggregate
of crime appears, the percentage of
criminals to. population is not in
creasing. This might be due to re
missness in the enforcement of law,
but we are at least permitted to hope
that Is not the case, the moral trend
of the times being stricter instead of
laxer enforcement of law;.
It appears that the total number
of prison inmates on J one 30, 1904,
76.2G9, or 94 1-2 per cent wsre males
aod 4,503, or 5 1-2 per cent were
females. As there is no great differ
ence in the number of males and fe
males in the country, the figures in
dicate clearly that crime is much
more prevalent among men than
among women.
On Jane 30. 1904, there were, in
the United 8tates, ninety-three in
stitutions for juvenile delinquents
between ages ot seven and twenty
one years. These institutions in
cluded reformatories, reform school,
truant schools, in fact, all kinds of
orisons, places of detention, and re
ligions agencies for juvenile delin
a Dents. At the date named they
contained 23,034 inmates, of whom
266 were in ths Catholic protectory
i Westchester, K. Y.
The number of inmates in all kinds
of institutions for juvenile delin
quents increased from 14,848 on
Jane 1. 1890, to 23,034, on Jane
30, 1904. This was a gala of &
ISS, or 55.2 percent. On its face,
this is not encouraging, though it
mar be due to the fact that there
were is 1900, and more actively in
arresting and confining them.
The July Smart Set.
A novel with a delightful "horsy",
flavor, entitled, "The -Mistress
of Hounds." by Jay Hardy, is the
feature of the July Smart Set. A
delightful love story is woven around
the heroine, who is the center figure
in a Summer colony.
Beatrix Demarest Loyd contrib
utes a short story, "Madame D'Ar
bel," so cameo-like that it might al
most be considered a bit from the
French; Ella P. Midgley has a very
engaging tale entitled, ' 'Three Fools
and a Wise One," Eleanor M. In
gram writes "A Galvez with the
Gray Eyes" a story with a French
Creole setting; George Sylvester Vie
reck, in the form of letters, tells a
very modern love story entitled,
"Claudia" ; Austin Adams writes a
most original tale, "The Room at
the Top"; John J. a'Becket writes a
story as gruesome and strange as
anything ot Poe's called "Lallaby;
a Doubt"; and Edna Kenton, whose
work grows in power, has never re
vealed her talents to better advan
tage than in her story, "An Unimag
inative Man." Poetry and other
artioles are up the former high stand
ard. MB. BRYAN NEVER SMOKES.
Nor Doe. Be Chew or Drink.
It is interesting to note how much
of an insight one can get into a
man's real character through the un
conscious testimony of his asso
ciation. And with no one is this more
clearly illustrated than with Wil
liam Jennings Bryan. The Bryans
belong to what they call the "Farm
ers' Club," in which the social life
in Normal centers, says a writer in
the July Delineator. Through the
Winter they hold monthly meetings
at the homes of the members. They
come in the morning some fifty
strong and stay till dark. Each
family brings a great basket and
there is spread the finest dinner you
ever ate; chickens; roasted and boil
ed and fricassed, pies mince, and
pumpkin, and all the cakes the dili-'
gent housewives can find in the cook
book. The women folks, when they
are done in the kitchen, gather
round the parlor stove with their
sewing. Mrs. Bryan brings perhaps
the nightshirts she is making for her
husband, perhaps the stockings from
the family darning-basket. The
men get out to the barn and smoke
and talk of the value of alfalfa and
the destruction of gophers. Only
there is one among them who doesn't
require that soothing mental stimu
lus. "Uncle Jake'' Wolfe says in
proud commendation of the leading
light of the community, "W. J.'s
that much better' n the rest of us
that be never smokes nor chews."
Incidentally, it is also trus that he
never takes a drink, every political
banquet finding his glass turned
down.
The trouble with most cough cures
is that they constipate. Kennedy's
Laxative Cough Syrup doee not
constipate, but on the other hand its
laxative principles gently moves the
bowels. It is pleasant to take and
especially recommended to chil
dren, as it tastes nesrly as good ss
