"4,000 Miles State Roads.

‘With approximately 4,000 miles of state highway under its control and about $9,000,000 to spend in construction and maintenance this year, the Indiana state highway commission is carrying a heavy responsibility,

There are over 357,000 automobile owners and over 43,000 truck owners in.lndiana who are interested in seeing good roads built and maintained everywhere. There are many manur facturers of road materials anxious to sell to the state. And there are about 200,000 farmers who recognize the need of good roads in their business, and yet who are hard pressed to find the tax money that must meet their good-roads bill. =

County Board Sustained.

The Kendallville News-Sun says the 16 2-3 per cent increase in the appraisement of Kendallville lands and lots as fixed by the county board of review has befn accepted by the state tax board in lieu of its recommendation for a 40 per cent increase. Just why this compromise is accepted is not dislosed. H. O. Bridges, a representative of the state board and county assessor McLaughlin have been in Kendallville and it is intimated that a reappraisement of property may be made there next year. This is probably a ruse to satisfy taxpayers in other section of ‘the county, Sold Stolen Goods. : Sheriff Black says Hugh Postell, held in jail at Albion for the murder of Alexander Thompf%dn in a Kendallville hotel is a model prisoner From what he can learn of the past history of the prisoner t‘he‘l sheriff thinks he has been connected with a gang of jewelry store robbers, acting as agent in selling the loot. After a grand jury hearing Postell or Davis will be tried for first degree g'nfr'%r, in the Nohle circuit court.

Craig of the Ligomer public schools says there will be quite an increase in high school clagses this year, but he thinks no additional instructors will be necessary, although the schools start withione teacher less "than last year. _;'- % = T . .DoYou Want Health, - Fuller and Fuller P, 8, C.

. N - o W e g eyt ..+ I'S, AMPERES AND VOLTS Terms Commonly Used by the Electricilan Are Explained for the Layman. » The language of the electrician Is Greek to most people. While he talks glibly of volts and amperes and watts, they know only that they have to pay an electric-light bill for so many units, and let it go at that, remarks a London Tit-Bits writer. : g

Though electricity is not a fluid, we csn understand most of its terms by ecomparing it with water flowing through a pipe. If we turn a stream of water onto the paddles of a waterwheel, the work that the wheel will do depends ‘upon two things—the amount of water delivered every second und the pressure of the stream. We measure the first in gallons and the second in poumnds. = -

In the case of electricity, we measure the rate at which it flows i amperes and its pressure in volts. The work which it will do-is found by multiplying amperes and volts together, which gives the answer in watts, or units of energy. . The board of trade unit is 1,000 watts, often called a kilowatt, while the electrical equivalent of one horsepower is 746 watts.

You will find the number of watts they require engraved on most electrie lamps, and from this you can discover what they will cost } use. A 25-watt lamp will use’ one‘,‘i&t,"ot 1,000 watts in 40 hours' burning; and if electricity ‘costs tenpence ‘a unit, the lamp will work out at a farthing an hour. The ohm is another electrical measurement which can be understood by a comparison with water. Water flows easily through a large pipe, but if the pipe is narrow, only a small quantity can force its way through. What the pipe is to water, the wire is to electricity. The smaller the wire, the more difficult electricity will find it to pass, because the fine wire resists its flow. The electriclan measures wires by their resistance in ohms.

LIGHTHOUSES MURDER BIRDS

Thousands -ef— Feathered Migrants Perish Yearly, Death Toll Being Greatest in Fall.

Every spring lighthouses destroy many thousands of birds flylng between their winter homes in the South and thelr summer homes in the North. The death toll is greater in the fall. Lighthouses stand every few miles along the 3,000 miles. of Atlantic coast, but those especially destructive of birds are the lights on the Fowey Rocks and Sombrero Key at the south end of Florida. This is because of the character of their lights and their position. Countless birds pass each year to and from Cuba, and these lights, at the top of high towers, are on muchtraveled “migration routes.” The light on Fowey Rocks is a fixed white light, which is curiously deadly to migrating birds. A flashing light frightens birds away, and a red light is avoided by them, but a steady white light looming up in the mist and darkness -attracts many of the night-traveling birds. Generally they do not strike against the windward side of the gldss of the light, but they fly around to the leeward side and wear themselves out fluttering in the ,be‘wilderlng rays. “A Fable of Russian Rubles. ' Here i 8 an incident of the regime of the soviet, says the New York Tribune. A certain inhabitant of Moscow who had succeeded in saving a few rubles decided to go into rbusiqiess. and so converted his fortune into 500 kilos of sugar, which he sold again, The operation was so good that he found himself in possession of several million rubles. .

Again he bought sugar, but this time, though his capital had become tenfold, he could buy only 400 kilos, because meanwhile the price of this commod-’ ity had considerably increased. He sold it again, and his fortune reached hundreds of millions of rubles. This he once more invested in sugar, but got barely 800 kilos, the sale of which, however, considerably increased his ' fortune. Thus he ¥ontinued to buy and sell, until one day, when be had hundreds of millions of soviet rubles, he could no longer buy more than ong tump of sugar. ' Thep he was compelled to pawn it to buy a rope and a nail with which to hang himself.

What Our Seoldiers Protect.

In comparison between the national wealth of the United States and the number .of soldiery now maintained in the regular army, each American soldler is charged with affording protection and national security to $1,755,597 of the $350,000,000,000 total of the national wealth. - Likewise, each soldler is at present protecting 25 square miles of territory of the mainland and dependencies, and giving 848 of the people of the country security against foreign interference with. tnelr constitutional ' rights. All this at 'a cost of $8 per capita of population. S b

Roman Graves Found in Britain.

. A stone coffin has been found by a Bath (England) resident. Whilst making his back garden he brought to light a full-grown skeleton at a depth of four feet. Further excavations resulted; in the discovery of a stone. coffin made from a hollowed-out block of Bath freestone, with a slab four inches thick forming the lid. It is a small coffin about four and one-half feet long, with a shaped head, and containing dust only. The site belng near the main Roman road, it is probably of Roman origin, : ; / For County Treasurer. | Glen 8.
