PURDUE ROAD EXPERT PRAISES WAYNE ROADS Lauds Working of Prisoners on Highways Believes County Gravel Roads Far Above Average in State Gathers Data for University's Use in Disseminating Road Knowledge Compliments Superintendent Jones.
MP LAJOIE MAKES 3,000 SAFE HITS
"Wayne county has a class of gravel roads far above the average," declared George E. Martin of the engi
neering department of Purdue univer
sity who inspected the county road system here yesterday in company with Superintendent Jones. Mr. Martin was well pleased with his investigation here. He said that Wayne county Is the only county he has visited in his investigations where prisoners were successfully worked, although ether counties have tried to work their prisoners in a chain gang. The purpose of the investigations Is to bring back road building information of a practical nature to Purdue University. Mr. Martin is a member nf the nnwlv established highway de
partment of the university. Purdue will be made a clearing house of road information and serve to disseminate throughout the state the new ideas and best methods as they find them Views on Roads. Mr. Martin does not advocate any kind of road for general use. For trunk highways, he advises a hard surface such as concrete or brick or for well traveled highways, macadam stone roads."The gravel road is the most practical for all purposes and if good grav
el is used, it can be made the best ap
pearing road," Mr. Martin said. The Purdue representative favors Mr. Jones' plan of oiling all roads leading Into Richmond and as many in the county as money can be secured for. When he was Informed that the objection to oiling gravel roads Is that they become spongy in spring, he said this is entirely a question of drainage and an oiled road which would become spongy in spring would be worse if unoiled. Inspects Highways. Superintendent Jones spent most of yesterday afternoon showing Mr, Martin the roads Of the county which have been completed and the repair gangs in each county who are engaged in the upkeep work. Mr. Martin was then taken to the National Road east below Twenty-third street. He was unable to distinguish between the work of prisoners and that of $2 a day, men nor could he pick the prisoners from the others. After concluding his work, Mr. Mar
tin said that Wayne county roads are the best gravel roads that can be built for the amount of money and that the system in Wayne county is well carried out. He did not have opportunity to go into detail as he is visiting one county every day.
Open House Attracts Big Crowd to High
With the auditorium filled to over-i flowinir. one of the moat mio.naaf ui I
open houses was held at the high school last night. Approximately fifteen hundred persons visited the school. That the orchestra is taking hold of its work with renewed vigor this year was shown by the excellent program rendered. It has had but four
rehearsals this year.
"Oh, Fair, Oh, Sweet and Holy,"fc soprano solo, given by Miss Ruth Ferguson was exceptionally good. Miss Ferguson is an active member of the high school chorus. Robert Gentle, concert manager, gave a violin solo by Drdla. Mr. Gentle has developed great talent with this instrument. The program closed with "The National Emblem" by the orchestra. After the program the commercial and industrial departments were visit ed. In the typewriting department a speed contest was held. The operation of a mimeograph was also demonstrated. Much interest was shown in the wood turning department, where a
class showed the operation of these machines. Many visited Room 42, where slides of Yellowstone park were shown. Mr. Plckell believes this baa been one of the most successful methods in getting acquainted with the parents and with their co-operation will make the Richmond high school much better.

Nap Lajole, famous Cleveland second sacker, who recently made the 3,000 safe hit of his big league career.
While unexpected warm weather has kept the produce market supplied later than usual with green vegetables, summer fruits and truck are fast disappearing from the local market. A local grocer said today, that he would have no more melons, or sweet corn after this week. Beets, lettuce, radishes, cauliflower, now sold are all hot house grown. Home grown vegetables of the fall varieties are plentiful and of good quality. Irish potatoes are plentiful although most of them are shipped from Michigan. The price is very reasonable, but it is haro" to predict winter prices as the Maine potato crop is under quarantine by the government on account of an outbreak of powdery scab. Peaches Higher. Grimes Golden apples appeared on the market this week. The fruit Is of good quality but small due to dry weather during the summer months. The price at 25c a half peck is reasonable. Good Rhode Island Greening apples can be had for 90c a bushel. Peaches at $2.25 per bushel are ten cents higher than last week, and Boft. Grocers predict no more bulk saleB of this fruit. Good quality of tomatoes can still be had at 75c a bushel, and the market is being crowded with green tomatoes for pickling, in anticipation of predicted frost for next week. Prices for produce tomorrow will be much the same as last week, with the exceptions named above. Shelled beans 20c quart, cabbage Be and 8c a head, turnips 10c quarter peck, tomatoes 75c bushel, Grimes Golden apples 15c quarter peck, Jersey sweet potatoes 50c peck, corn 20c dozen, Greening apples 90c bushel.
