ARMY MOTORIST IN FRANCE

Peril* and Pitfall* Ara Described by Colonel Tyndall In Letter to Carl Q. Fl*h*r. “There will be a couple of million real ‘Road-Bposters’ back In the United States when the war Is over, as I think all of the men over here appreciate h6w good roads can be made- Invaluable. In my mind there is no doubt that the good roads of France saved her In two Instances.” Col. Robert H. Tyndall of the One Hundred and Fiftieth field artillery thus writes from “over there” to Chairman Carl G. Fisher of the A. A. A. touring board. It will be remembered that these two were closely associated several years ago in the transcontinental tour from Indianapolis to Sun Francisco, at which time much of the route of the Lincoln highway was decided upon. Colonel Tyndall is an inveterate road driver and has covered thousands of miles of good, bad, and Indifferent American highways. In his letter “home,” he goes on to say: “I have seen movements of troops made In the dark which would have been'impossible in any other country

than France. * Here the roadmakers have scientifically planted trees that absorb drainage on the side and at the same time shelter the highways so as to keep them just moist enough. In some instances you will find a tall poplar standing higher than the rest of the trees bordering the road, at every kilometer, so that you can readily measure distances with the eye. “One of the great things they do here is to repair a road and even make an entirely new surface without interfering with the stream of traffic. In one campaign we were in, over a thousand trucks passed my regiment, each carrying 22 soldiers. This was for re-enforcement on the flank and was done without the slightest confusion. One does not find here the little holes that cause so much trouble remaining in a road. The potted places are Immediately filled and drained, right up to the front line almost. “As far as being able to orient one’s self, I think from now on I can drive blindfolded any place in the United States, as most of my driving on the front has been at night, and the roads wind around considerably over here. I don’t have lights and neither do the trucks and other vehicles coming in opposite directions. We are not allowed to use the horn, as this Is the method. employed for a gas alarm. Sometimes I really wonder how we get through with it all, but it shows how a person can become accustomed to most any thing, and we train ourselves to see in the dark.”

GOOD ROADS IN NEW JERSEY

State Has Standardized Upon Concrete Construction —Will Build Nothing £lse In, Future. e W. D. Thompson, acting highway engineer of New Jersey, says the ma-cadam-surfaced Lincoln highway in New Jersey has been seen to rapidly disintegrate and fall away under the terrific strain Imposed upon the road by the heavy motortrucks now traveling it day and night. New Jersey has standardized upon concrete construction and hereafter will build nothing else on its main routes of travel. Future building will be of concrete of a minimum width of 18 feet with a foot penetration shoulder on each side and laid upon nothing less than a 30-foot right of way. Two miles of such construction are now being completed upon the Lincoln highway in New Jersey, near Iselin, the cost of which will be $146,000, indicating in no small measure the ideas of the New Jersey commissioners that a heavy initial expense is, in fact, economy in the long run.

Ventilation for Pigs.

See that the pigs get ventilation, and in the ordinary gable roof house openings should be made in the peak and under the eaves.

Hogs Most Preferred.

The food administration seems to prefer hogs weighing around 210 for shipping abroad. Hogs of about that size will probably command a premium.

Poultry Essential.

Freeh air is one of the prime essentials in poultry houses.

THIS FIRM HOUSE WILL SAVE STEPS

Kitchen Arranged for Convenlence of Housewife, MUCH WOMAN-POWER WASTED Other Portion* of yome Shown In Thl* Design Have Been Planned for Convenience and Economy. By W. A. RADFORD. /Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and Rive advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, 111., and only Inclose three-cent stamp for reply. In this age of conservation one of the most appalling wastes Is the waste of woman-power In doing housework — especially housework In the farm home. In the shop and factory, experts are constantly on the watch for any unnecessary waste of effort, to see that human power Is not used for anything that mechanical power, which Is cheaper, could do. The average farm htftne Is run entirely by wom-an-power, the most costly kind of power to be found anywhere, while a little planning and not a great deal of money could put in a new equipment or rearrange the old to relieve an endless amourft of weariness. Take the arrangement of the kitchen. The average woman wastes a lot of energy In useless walking. The kitchen furnishings are arranged around the wall In such a way that she crosses and recrosses the central floor space from one to another. The position of windows, doors and stationary furniture sometimes makes It difficult to adjust things in the most

convenient way, but It would pay every housekeeper to sit down and consider just how things could be planned to require the least walking. Conveniences for Kitchen. A medium-sized house, 20 by 38 feet in size, Is shown here, which has a splendid kitchen occupying the rear corner of the house where it has plenty of light and ventilation from the different windows. The connection between the kitchen and pantry Is intended toßnake these two rooms into a very satisfactory workshop with superior conveniences for doing the housework. There is a bakery work table in front of a targe window in the pantry for making pastry that

takes this kind of work out of the kitchen. Another feature that farm housekeepers will appreciate is the washroom for the men in the entry between the kitchen and the side porch. This entry also provides a good corner. for |he refrigerator. It is not necessary for the men to go into the kitchen at meal time. The entry from the side porch gives a passageway directly into the dining room. However, the kitchen is large enough to hold a small dining table if desired. There are often defects in kitchen furniture and fixtures that make trou-

set high enough for a woman of average height and the stooping and bending over working surfaces that are too low puts possibly more drudgery Into housework than any other one thing. Arrangement of Sink. - The sink should be adjusted to stilt the height of the woman who la to use it; it should have a short shelf for stacking dishes at the right and a wide drainboard at the left, with a cupboard above; this Is the only arrangement that provides for no unnecessary work In the process of dishwashing. There should ae no cupboard under the sink—It is dark and

hard to keep clean, and It means stooping almost to the floor to reach into it. An arrangement that will be a constant comfort to the housekeeper is a cupboard or closet about two feet wide beside the cook-stove, running from the floor to a height of about six feet, with hooks, racks and shelves for holding cooking utensils, and a similar cupboard for brooms, brushes, car- , pet-sweeper, vacuum cleaner, etc. A, well-planned kitchen cabinet, either a separate piece of furniture or built-in, is a concrete example of a mechanical provision for time and labor-saving; a woman can “turn out a whole baking” without moving a step to reach any of her supplies. The dining room and living room should be finished in the same kind of woodwork, in such a way as to make two very handsome rooms. The built-in sideboard should be constructed of the same kfnd of wood as the base-board, door and window casings and other trim of the dining room and living room. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom, with convenient clothes closets. Always the bathroom should be built in a farm house at the time of building. It is not absolutely necessary to put in the plumbing until later, but the room should be provided and the pipes laid in the partitions and under the floors, ready to connect with' the fixtures at any future time. The manner of building the roof is economical, because the bedrooms are taken from what would otherwise be waste space. This arrangement gives more room for the amount of money expended than any other style of house.

The property of asbestps which renders it of economic importance is that it is formed of elastic and flexible fibers. These are sufficiently tough to be woven into a kind of cloth which resists intense heat without fusing or burning. Such a cloth was much used in ancient times. The fact of its fireresisting properties gave it the name of asbestos —that is, the unconsumable.

Getting Your “Rights.”

You may get your rights by insisting on thejn, but you will never get satisfaction. The people who go through life exacting certain things from those about them, claiming jealously what they consider their due, miss all that makes life glad. Spontaneous affection, love which bubbles up like a spring, kindness-which finds its reward in the doing, are never the portion of people who claim their rights.
