Washington, Aug. J. "Although K rill be impractical for many year to corae to improve more than a small per cent of the roads of the country with hard surface," said the United Butt officer of public roads today, "roads should not be neglected, and with a little care may in many case be made adequate to the needs of the communities they serve." Many country roads, the govern ment experts said, may be greatly im proved by judicious grading and sys tematic maintenance. "Frequently, Especially in the South, the addition of sand or clay to the natural soil of the road It all that is necessary to make a road sufficiently good for all practical purposes, IS PROPOSED A PROSECUTOR Helieving it to be eminently proper that the North Carolina Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy should provide a gift to the Stonewall ; . Jackson Training School at Concord j that will be both a fitting memorial toj General Stonewall Jackson and at the same time of actual service to the boys, who are sent to the Institution to be given training, Mrs. Eugene Lit tle, of Wadesboro, president of the State Chapter, has conceived the idea of building a bridge at this school across the National Highway, which passes through the grounds, so at to connect the various buildings and thus obviate the necessity of the young sters having to endanger their lives by getting in the way of the thous ands of automobiles that travel this road. Mrs. Little, who attended the an nual rennion of the North Carolina Di Tislon of Confederate Veterans in Wil mington the past week. Is spending a few days at Wrightsville Beach, says c1iiiuiMni nt m!1o nf rnarta thai meet the needs of many localities as the Star, before starting out on an ac- i Ufa as n a i ar n fn runta wlf ft " tl ln veil as would a more expensive type f construction have been built in the 3outh at an average cost of io0 a mile," the United States road service laid. Karth roads should be at least 20 feet wide and preferably 24 to 30 feet; they should be crowned with a rise of one inch to the foot towards the cen ter; they should have side ditches; through swampy land the road should be raised above level of the country to secure drainage. For grading and crowning the road, a drag made of the two halves of a split is fn general use. The split-log drag is made by Joining the halves in a vertical position and attaching chains and double-trees so that when drawn by horses it moves along the road at an angle of 46 de grees, the foremost end to the aide of the road, so that the earth may be directed toward the center. The drag should be light enough to be lifted by one man. Dry, red cedar Is the beet material for the drag, though red elm and walnut are ex cellent. Soft maple, elm or willow are superior for this purpose to oak, hick ory or ash. A platform may be placed on the drag for the driver. Dragging is simple and inexpensive, says the government bureau, and when used in conjunction with a road machine, helps much toward the construction tX a good road. Dragging often costs about 50 rents a mile. A mile of road can be dragged in a few hour. In constructing the sand clay road. . a sand road is first shaped and then covered with from 4 to 6 inches of clay. The sand and clay are thorough ly mixed with a tooth-harrow, first dry, then wet On a clay road-bed, the same pro cess Is followed with sand,, except that the clay should be well plowed up to insure a good mixture. The final mixing should be done In tiiny weather. When the mixing has en completed, the road is brought 4 a crown of one Inch to the foot v.'h a splitlog drag and covered with A thin layer of sand. After several rtii", another layer of sand many be apolici. to the surface. The principal thing to be observed in the construction of the sand clay road is an even mixture of the sand and the clay. "Joint" clays should not be used. - The sand should be coarse and sharp if possible. . In the gravel road the first layer of gravel, or coarser else, is laid over . a prepared road bed of earth to a depth of about four inches at the cen ter and three inches at the aides. The second course is put on two inches at the center and about one and one half at the sides. The whole should be well rolled and proper ditches con structed at the sides. '.. Gravels for use In road construc tion should be submitted to a road expert for examination aa to their fit ness. Many gravels are wholly unsuit d for the purpose. live campaign for funds with which to build this bridge. She has already secured a nucleus of several hundred dollars for the fund and was assured by the Confederate Veterans the paat week that they would be pleased to co operate in this work. Mrs. Little has had plans for the bridge prepared by a prominent ar chitect and engineer, of Charlotte, and it is estimated that the cost will be more than 2,tM)0. Memorial tablets for General Jackson will be placed on both sides of the bridge, which will be built of Winnsboro granite. - The Southern Railway has very generously offered to haul the material free of charge and has also offered Mrs. Lit tle free transportation over its lines, so that she may visit the various chap ters in the state to secure funds. Oth er railroads in the state have also of fered to assist In any way possible. A Georgia firm has offered to sell the granite for the bridge at greatly re duced pricea. It is now planned to have the bridge built in time to have it dedicated next October, when the State Chapter of the Daughters of the Codfederacy meets in Gastonia for its annual con vent fen. It is expected that the ded Icatory exercises will be attended by a delegation from the convention. Mrs. Little has already given very freely of her time to this undertaking She has visited the Training School and has ascertained that the highway passes through a cut about 12 feet deep, making it rather difficult as well aa dangerous for the boya to pass from their cottages on one, side of the road to the Chapel, erected by the King's Daughters of the state, which is located on the other side of the thor oughfare. It is also necessary for the boys to cross the road oa other occa sions. The building of the bridge would prevent their having to get in the way of traffic. - Mrs. Little has undertaken this la bor of love without remuneration, giv ing her time and also of her means. She has received assurance of the co operation of the various Chapters of the U. D. C. throughout the state. The Prank Bennett Chapter, at Wadesboro, and the children's auxiliary have given 4)100 and from other sources sbe has received several hundred dollars more. With such favorable beginning, Mrs. Little expects to have little trouble in securing the remainder of the amount necessary to provide the memorial.

Raleigh, Aug! 3.- It is thought by Mr. C. R. Hudson, State agent, and the Various county agents through out North Carolina, tnat in the course !of the next sixty days another par tial crop will be nearly matured in a portion of the devastated farming section in the western part of the iState. Mr. Hudson says that the i agents in Wilkes, McDowell, Hender- ! son. Buncombe, Alexander, Yadkin, . and other counties where the damage ! has been great are now busy aiding . lne uncirn iarmers in ma jhbiiuuk Cleveland, Aug. 2.-After an lnves-' of crops for table use and stock feed. ligation of 400 criminal eases, James 'Sudan grass, millet, and other grass S.

Two ! there croos will be ready for harvest- thirds of men Jailed were between the ages of 21 and 30, according to his figures, available here today. It seems that conditions In un married life tend to make men crim inals or that persons with criminal instincts are Inclined not to marry," concluded Lind after his. Investiga tion. "In 400 cases which passed through my office there was no definite eco nomic condition that would result in crime. "Only about half of the married prisoner had children and many ol the married ones were separated from their families. "As a rule women who take up crime are also single or at least sep arated from their husbands or fam ilies. "This is hard to prove because wo men prisoners are not inclined to tell the trnth. When a woman lands in Jail she generally claims to be mar ried and says if her husband hears of her predicament he will forsake her forever. She also claims to be the mother of several small children, dependent on her careall of which, nine times out of ten, Is untrue. "If a married man gets into trouble he generally commits a real crime, not a misdemeanor. If a married man with children finds his way be hind the bars, it is usually money troubles which have placed him there. "But if any particular class of the in. The fifst shipments of seed for the farmers In the stricken sections went forward yesterday by express. Dem onstration agents had already ascer tained the individual needs of farm ers and the seed will be distributed with the least possible delay. Through the committee on aid to the sufferers 11,000 has been donat ed for the purchase of seeds. Mr. Hudson stated . last night that he thought that the United States De partment of Agriculture would also aid the farmers whose crops have been ruined. For table use turnips, rape, beans, and other quick growing crops will be grown where the land is not too badly damaged. The farm ers in some sections. Mr. Hudson says, have had their lands greatly benefited by the addition of sediment which contains fertilizer ingredients. The matter of injury to farmers and how this can be most effectively repaired will be a topic to be dis cussed at the meeting of the agents here this month: But the discussion will not be altogether limited to the flooded districts. The tenative pro gram as announced by the office in West Raleigh, includes quite a num ber of new features, heretofore not seen in the demonstration agents' meeting. The plan for the meeting contem plates three lectures for each of five days during the morning hours.
