REPAIRS NEEDED FOR ROADS
Necessity and Desirability of Eliminate
^ ing Holes and Ruts Should Be
Brought Out.
In order that the road^ may not be
entirely destroyedVr put Into a condi
t'on requiring complete rehabilitation,
the government ought to Impress upon
states, counties, cities, villages aiv^
townships the necessity arid desirabit
lty of eliminating every mudhole, every
impression, by tilling In; it should ask
that culverts and bridges be kept in a
reasonable state of repair and it should
command that every highway should
regularly and systematically be
dragged after every rain, that high
spots may bo eliminated, low spots
filled anil the roads made as smooth
and safe as possible with this tem
porary scheme to aid, as far as pos
sible, transportation over public high
ways.—Pitt and Qunrrv.

_
With the American Armies.—Greater
laurels daily afo being won by the
French light tanks which are co-oper
ating with the American forces in
pushing the Germans hack toward the
Rhine.
Among the many individual feats of |
the tanks and their drivers which have
come to light, one of the most interest
ing is that of Brigadier Cellier, who
has been decorated with the cross of
the Legion of Honor for his work in a
light tank which enabled 15 American
soldiers to capture 700 Germans.
Several hundred of these tanks led
tire counter-offensive from the Villers- j
Cotterets forest in July, which marked
what appears to have been the turning
point of the war. They broke through
the enemy’s lines, destroying his ma
chine guns, overcoming strong centers
of resistance and spreading panic and
demoralization in the German ranks.
Where the infantry was preceded
by the “chars d’assaut,” as the French
, call them, the advance was three miles
a day.
It was these same French light tanks
which preceded the Americans in their
advance upon Juvigny and Terny on
the Solssons plateau. One of them,
manned by a lieutenant, killed more
than 200 Germans on the plateau.
Documents that have come into the
hands of the French staff show that
the Germans are greatly worried by
the light tanks and are studiously
coaching their men in methods of de
fense agairtst them.
The light cars have the advantage
of greater spe^d and of being more
easily handled than the heavier tanks.
They require a crew of only two men,
a driver and a gunner, and carry one
one-and-a-half-inch gun and a machine
gun.

Variety in Uncle Sam’s Menu Makes
It Attractive—Doughboys Grow
Talkative.
With the American Army in France.
—“Chow time” means one of the most
picturesque sights along the front, es
pecially with the Americans. It seems
to mean more to the Americans than
to any other army, perhaps because i
American “grub” is better.
Happen along through a ruined vil
lage or a woods in an American sector
fifteen minutes before “chow time” and
you would think the place deserted.
Probably there wouldn’t be more than
one or two stray doughboys in sight, i
Come along fifteen minutes later and
you wonder “where in thunder they all
came from.”
They'll be lined up, and in front of
each line there’ll be a field kitchen
steaming away, with a perspiring army
cook dishing out grub that makes you
want to “grab some tools and get in
line” too.
There’s lots of animation at “chow i
time” among the Americans. A crowd
of Frenchmen is quiet while eating,
the only time French soldiers are
quiet. They munch their bread and
meat and vegetables and drink their
wine in silence.
Not so with the Americans. It’s a :
bi& time. First of all, there’s specula- j
tion on “what’s the chow for today.”
There’s variety in Uncle Sam’s army
menus.
Then, as they sit around on the 1
ground, on ruins, or under trees, and
that satisfied feeling of having eaten ;
a good meal grows upon them, there’s j
lots of life and joking among the
doughboys.
“Doughboy chow” is good. Usually
there is soup. Then there are meat !
and vegetables, usually two kinds. J
There are always big slices of white
bread and coffee. Nine times out of
ten there’s dessert, probably pudding
or fruit.
Each man has a pan with a handle |
that folds into it, and a cup. Some- ,
way they get some of everything in a
four-course meal into these two instru- :
ments and never mix foods. Only one I
of these “war experts” could do that.

How the little town of Delhi, situ

surrounding community in securing
much-needed labor is told by a repre

ment of agriculture, who has recently
returned from an inspection trip Tn
that district. The local commercial
club of Delhi has organized some of
the business men of the town who are
willing to do farm work after three
o’clock. The farmer who needs help
telephones to the club,- and at three
o’clock the volunteer workers climb
into automobiles and report to his
\ farm for a half day’s work. About 35
business men are being placed every
day on the farms around Delhi. The
local minister has set the example. He

KEEP HOUSE LOOKING RIGHT
- I
Liberal Use of Paint Is True Economy
—Means Higher Rent and
Greater Value.
The best way to sell a house is to j
paint it first.
You can get higher rent f<jr a house j
by painting it.
The banker will lend more money on
a well-painted house.
These are suggestions made in con
nection with a clean-up—paint-up cam
paign that have arrested a great deal
of attention.
A prominent banker said:
“Of course, it is easier to get a loan
on a well-painted house. This is not
merely because the house is in better
repair and holding its value, but be
cause the very fact that a man takes
good care of his property is proof to
us that.he is not shiftless, that he is
provident and that we have a reason
ably certain prospect of getting the
loan paid back.
“A well-painted house carries its
own recommendation, even as a man
who is careful about the neatness of
his appearance makes a much more
favorable impression than one who is
careless.”
When nature takes on a new dress,
why not be in harmony? is a sugges
tion for “clean-up—paint-up” that
carries an appeal to most folks. It is
also pointed out that woodwork kiln
dried by furnace fire, in spring is actu
ally parching and famishing for re
freshing paint.
Again the suggestion is made that
wjien the east winds are high it is
dangerous not to have your windows
carefully puttied.
EASY TO HAVE ATMOSPHERE j
Matter That Should Have Careful
’ Thought When One Is Contem
plating Building a Home.
Many factors enter into the work of
building a home that are not con
cerned, simply, with the work of de
signing or the mechanical processes
that go into the building of the house,^
and we soon discover and realize that"
the designing and building of a house
is, after all, but the first preliminary
step in the establishment of a home.
The house is important, of course, and
If it is not just as it ought to be in
every particular, the operation will be
a complete failure.
And it is of special importance be
fore you build, that you know just
what you want your house to suggest
in the way of newness or old-fash
ionedness or an atmosphere of historic
association, and you should also know
how the result yon wish can be se
cured.
Your house need not be old to pos
sess what seems to be an atmosphere
redolent with memories of the good
old days, and if you will but choose
your architect with proper care, he
will know how to give to your new
home that atmosphere which one well
known designer of colonial houses—
Joy Wheeler Dow—calls the dramatic
quality in architecture. — Rawson
Woodman Haddon, in House Beauti

Ornamental Lamp Posts.
There is no feature of municipal
equipment that adds more to the at
tractiveness of a city’s appearance
than do ornamental street lamp posts
of artistic and appropriate design. Just
as the effectiveness of inferior decora
tions and furnishings depend in a
large measure upon lighting fixtures,
so the beauty of the street can be en
hanced or marred by its lights. In
each case a satisfactory solution of
the lighting problem consists not only
in supplying sufficient illumination but
also in providing lighting equipment
that harmonizes with its surroundings
and possesses a beauty of its own.
The old-time lamp post in vogue be
fore the days of electricity fulfilled
the second of these conditions but not
the first; for, although the post itself
was often a work of art, its feeble oil
or gns flame seldom was equal to the
task of illuminating the street. On
the other hand, the modern overhead
arc lamp gives a fairly satisfactory
light, but the unsightly poles, ropes,
^'ires and other equipment for raising
and lowering the lamp can scarcely be
called beautiful. Now comes the orna
mental street lamp post, which com
bines the beauty of one of its prede
cessors and the utility of the other.

Panoramic Object Lesson.
Two and a half miles of corridors
in thd state, war and navy building
at Washington are a panoramic object
lesson in the use of tinted walls to re
flect the light.
This is a rea+ly economic experiment
that has been proved a great saving in
the cost of lighting. The light-reflect
ing values of the various tints of paints
are now understood by the skillful
I pcintet.
j Many industrial establishments,
j schools, hospitals and office buildings
In the capital have reduced their light
ing costs to a marked extent through
application of the proper types and
lints of interior paints. By making the
interiors brighter they have saved a
uumber of accidents and have contrib
uted to a more cheerful feeling among
the occupants.

ventilation and Sunlight.
Ventilation, with a boundless supply
of fresh air and sunlight, are wonder
ful cures for many dread diseases, puri
fying and cleansing the air we
breathe; yet we find windows closed
and blinds drawn to shut out the pure
air and sunlight. The sun must not
shed its rays upon our furniture, car
pets, etc., for fear of making them
fade! We had far better only have
things which do not fad^ than shut out
the glorious sun’s rays. What is the
use of by-laws compelling builders to
provide windows of at least one-tenth
the floor area, half of which must be
made to open, if we defeat the object
for which they were made?—Architect
