WANT STATE AID FOR ROAD WORK

IN IIOOSIERDOn

State Automobile Association . Believes Whole Commonwealth Ought to Help in

Constructing Highways.

The application of business methods

to road building and road malnten

ance throughout the state of Indiana,

will be one of the results of the leg

islatlon for which the Indiana State

Automobile association is working and which It proposes t ointroduce at the next session of the legislature which

will convene In January 1917. ' Demands Business Methods.

Road building and road maintenance . is a science, and as such, requires ex1 pert knowledge, both as regards the method of construction and the kind

of materials used. This Is a fact gen

; erally recognized by all European , countries and by over forty states In

j this country which have their roads j constructed under expert supervision. In these states and countries roads

are built according to the traffic pass

ing over them and constructed of laboratory tested materials that have

proven to be the most economical and

the best investment of the taxpayers'

money for that class of traffic. In Indiana, it is a well-established fact that 90 per cent of the travel is over only 20 percent, or one-flfth of

our roads. This means, that from the point of view of scientific road building and economy In the expenditure of the taxpayers' money, we should have different types of construction according to the traffic. Under our present system this Is Impossible because of the fact that the entire cost of building and maintaining these main arteries of travel Is borne entirely by the townships and counties through which they, pass, notwithstanding the fact that only a very small per centage of the traffic over these roads originates In the town

ship or county. The remainder and

much larger portion, being from other townships or counties and other

states. Advantages of Federal Aid.

Under a system of state supervision and state and federal aid this

situation would be remedied, first, by

the state specifying a road of the proper- construction and materials for

each class of traffic and supervising its construction and maintenance. And secondly, by making the entire wealth of the state contribute to the expense of the same, Instead of, as at present, placing the entire burden upon the township and county, while 40 per cent

of the entire taxable wealth of the state within city limits contributes practically nothing toward the construction and maintenance of the public roads of the state which they use continually and which are a benefit to every resident of the state.

FOURTEEN GRANDSONS AND 2 SONS AT FRONT

BOZEN. Tyrol, Aug. 9. Joseph Gampenrieder, a farmer of Wangen-am-Ritten, enjoys the distinction of having two sons and fourteen grandsons at the front with the Austro-Hun-garian army. When Italy declared war against Austria, the patriotic peasant bemoaned the fact that he could not join the colors, as he is 95 years old. He ordered his sons to volunteer at once, although they are past military age, one of them being 64 and the other 59 years old. The sons were first rejected but finally accepted as sharpshooters. Two of the fourteen grandsons of the aged patriot have been killed in battle.

Women in Great Britain are demanding that all Germans at liberty there be interned. Their petition to that effect has more than 1,000,000 signers.

MUTILATED DONKEY BECOMES WAR HERO CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 9. The "Keuileu," a newspaper of Smyrna, re

ports that during the bombardment of Chesme by the allied fleet, a woman

and a little girl were killed and some houses demolished. One of the British shells tore both ears from the head of a donkey belonging to the tax collector, Halil Effendi, as if he had been cut with a knife. The donkey is now a famous "war hero." Hundreds of people daily come to his stable to look at him and his owner reaps a rich harvest, because he charges an admission fee, which is willingly paid by the patriotic visitors.

Chautauqua Notes Advance Information About Program and Speakers of 1915 Assembly.

Dr. I. C. Perry, federal expert, has submitted the following: The methods by which infection is acquired in tuberculosis are of permanent interest, and have been the subject of much discussion, resulting in theories being advanced from time to time, which have brought us nearer to scientific truth. In the light of our present knowledge the open consumptive is most dangerous to his immediate family and other

: persons living in the same house with , the sufferer. Tuberculosis is contractI ed through intimate and prolonged asI sociation with some individual suffer

ing from the disease, and does not result from a single exposure as in the case of some other communicable diseases. Guard Against Sputum. Furthermore, nearness to the individual does not seem to be important with the possible exception of droplet infection, which occasionally occurs, and the . mere occupancy of a room previously used by a consumptive who had been careless with his sputum is all that is necessary. The sufferer from pulmonary tuberculosis readily infects his environment unless the most scrupulous care is exercised in the disposal of his sputum and proper precautions are taen during the attacks of forceful coughing. Lack of sunshine and indequate ventilation increases the liability of infection, and soiled blankets and bed linen are potent factors in this respect. Children Susceptible. Children arejnore susceptible to tuberculosis than adults, and the latter even less so than was formerly supposed. Many children become infecter and exhibit the earliest stages of the disease only by slight anaemic, poor physical development and mild illrdefined ailment, thereby acquiring an immunity that is more or less protective under normal canditions. However, if in later years debilita-

MARGARET ST A HiOne of the most interesting personalities that will appear at the coming Chautauqua assembly is that of Margaret Stahl. Although usually spoken of as a "reader" the term falls far short of describing her work. Playreader is a better term and Interpreter of Plays is still better, for her extensive repertoire is made up of the most successful stage productions rearranged so as to be presented through a single medium, or, a cast of but one actof. Nature has not only endowed Miss Stahl with more than ordinary physi

cal insrra ana womaniy loveliness but has gifted her with unusual histrionic power. She has never succumbed to the "lure of the stage" even though some of the best known the

atrical producers in the country have

offered her flattering inducements to play leading roles. Miss Stahl has preferred to reach the public from the platform instead of the stage and to impersonate six or eight, or perhaps a dozen different characters, without the use of special costumes and scenery, is a most difficult task. The public has been slow to convince that a story of life with many characters could be accurately portrayed by only one person. The 6tage itself has long been aware that it could be done and many of the leading actors and actresses, both of this country and Europe, have at times essayed th role of "play-mono-logist." Miss Stahl, with a few others like herself, has done much to dissipate the idea that it was necessary to have so many different actors in a cast, and only artistic genius and persistency could have accomplished such a result. Today Miss Stahl is not only one of the highest priced recitalists on platform, but perhaps more than any one else is she regarded as the model

for all others. She belongs to that class of readers who seek to achieve results through the quieter manifestations of an inward feeling rather than through the declamatory or elocutionary method. To describe Miss Stahl personally is perhaps unnecessary. She is a tall, handsome woman, and as her name might indicate, is of German parentage. Her womanly graces have long been matters of comment In the lyceum profession. She has the spirit of mental aggressiveness, is a student of the best in literature and has a modern grasp of things intellectual and artistic. And while emotional, she never obtrudes sentiment to the detriment of dignity and nobility of utterance. A purist in her language and her diction faultless. Educated not only in the classical schools but in the best technical schools of her profession. Acquainted also with the many experiences of life and not unfamiliar with adversity. She has gone steadily forward and upward and her work has been crowned with the .very highest measure of success. Off the platform Miss Stahl is none the less interesting. Her vacations are spent as far as possible in her beautiful home, in a northern Ohio town, where with her aged mother and two si6ters nothing is more to her liking than to administer the affairs of the household. Miss Stahl comes to the Chautauqua for a return date and In response to a demand from those who had the pleasure of hearing her last year and for one of her recitals will present a new play, "The Unseen Empire," a play which is now being prepared for stage presentation by a leading New York producer and which promises to be one of ' the great successes of the coming theatrical season. .

tion occurs through improper living or attacks of disease that lowers the body's vitality, this primary infection of childhood that has long lain dormant, becomes active, and no doubt may attacks of this disease in adult life must be considered in this light. Danger to Family. When consideration is given to the fact that the infective agent of this disease lurks behind the intrenchment of darkness, had housing conditions and poverty, it will be readily seen that the members of the family, especially the young, of a promiscuously spitting consumptive, living under such environment, generally In the same room and often sleeping in the same bed with the afflicted person, have little chance to escape infection. That this is fact and not theory is known to all observers and many instances were found during the survey which forcibly illustrated this point. Many families had been decimated by the disease and in several instances had lost practically all sons and daughters in the prime of life one case following another as the result of living in a badly infected environment. If satisfactory preventative measures had been in force this picture would have been entirely different and many persons in the prime of life would have been saved to the community.

PEOPLE OF GAUCIA GRATEFUL TO KAISER

' MUNICH, Aug. 9. The "Bayerische Volksfreund" publishes an interesting letter which shows the gratefulness of

the population of Galacia toward the German army. The letter was re

ceived a few days ago by the sister of a Bavarian soldier who has been killed in battle near Lemberg, and in

it the writer, a young lady school

teacher, says: ' "Your heroic brother has died that we Galacians may be saved from Russian barbarism. I have given him a Christian burial and procured a good coffin for him. His last resting place is in my garden, under the windows of- my rooms. I would have planted a rosebush on his grave, but I thought that you might want to send a mourning-rose from his own garden. Your address I found in his pockets. "We Galacians consider the German soldiers our saviors and to prove our gratefulness we have buried all of the heroes who gave their lives for us in our gardens. Their memory will always be kept sacred."

LASSEN VOLCANO SAFE

SAY U. S. GEOLOGISTS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. Lassen

volcano, California, spent most of its

energy in its violent eruptions of last

May, according to reports received by the forest service, and it is believed that there is little likelihood of further destructive outbreaks. Since the

upheavals of May 20 and 22, the vol

cano has been under the observation of oficers of the Lassen national for

est. The investigations have confirmed the opinion that the eruption of two months ago, when a river of mud was blown out of the north side of the crater and down Hat creek, with considerable damage to government and private property, was caused by the melting of the snow on the peak, the snow water running into the crater and being converted by the molten lava into steam. Although it is possible that the volcano is simply conserving its energy for another outbreak, the indications are, according to the government volcanologist on the ground, that no further eruptions are likely to occur, at least until next spring, when another influx of snow water may cause a slight disturbance.

FOILS ROBBER

MILTON, Ind., Aug. 9. When Mrs. Charles Whitman turned presumably to get the valuables a strange man, standing at the door, demanded, she double-crossed the intruder . and returned with a revolver. She ordered the man to hold up his hands and kept him covered until she had marched him off the premises. Her husband was not at home when the stranger knocked at the door of the house, two miles southwest of here.

Thousands of people are still looking for trouble in the Mazda Lamp. Long years ago, when the "tungsten" lamp was just a-borning. it was delicate and fragile. And people said "It's a glorious light, all right, but the lamps don't last." But "tungsten" lamps are dead and gone, and the wonderful, whiter, better, brighter EASTERN MAZDA LAMP has come to take its place, as strong and rugged and enduring as a lamp need be.
