According to tho Washington corres pondent of the Boston Transcript over two score bills havo been Introduced In the present Congress, looking In one way or another to a more complete control of expenditures on roads by tho federal government. Chief among these In Interest Is the measure of Senator Charles E.

The present bureau plan of Federal road administration apparently does not now meet with country-wldo favor, as asldo from tho Townsend measure sev eral others have been Introduced which would create a radically different form of control. For Instance, Senator Wesley Jones of Washington calls for the crea tion of a department of public works, which would, among Its other duties, In clude all that Is now done by the Bureau of Public Roads. Representative Os borne of California would create a de partment of Federal highways and estab lish a national highway system.

Tho authorities at Winnipeg served notice on union labor workers, when the city was tied up by tho recent strike, that either tho alien extremists In the union ranks must be ousted, or every force of law would be concentrated t" rid tho Dominion of this clement.

Several times during thj day, the boat taxied up to the shore of Burlington beach, fnnnod a large crowd of bystanders with Its propeller blast, dis charged a breathless passenger, and took on another who was trying his best to keep from displaying Ills excitement. Tho gulls on Burlington breakwntor shrieked In good-fellowship as this new water and air crcnturo slowly motored out to deep water. Then, tall up and throttle full open, the boat gave a burst of speed which excited the envy of the gulls. The roar of tho motor quite drowned the rush of the water so that the passenger never knew quite when the machine began to mount from tho water. Soon Juniper Is land and the Four Brotheres began to take on a sharp distinctness, as when seen from tho Old Mill tower or Ethan Allen tower. And then a hasty glance at the horizon showed one that he was getttntf well on top of the world and, without any disagreeable) feelings, he was getting to a point where he had three dimensions at his disposal instead of merely two. "What could be more natural," thought the passenger; "when college irof."ors and bright young scientists are talking about the fourth dimension, Isn't It high time that most of us were making some practical use of tho third dimen sion?" Then he was forced to quit musing, for the beauties of the scenery demanded his attention. Here In tho evening Governor Clement was a i guest at a "surprise party." arranged by hlB grandchildren who are summering In the city and held at Brooksldo In the evening. A feature of tho occasion was a birthday cake, mounted on a structure, banked In ferns, and bearing 73 candles llghteed, with one candle on top of the i cake, "to grow on." The house was made beautiful by wild flowers and ferns, which had been collected from tho nearby woods and fields by tho children during the past few days In which they have been prepar ing for the occasion. BENNINGTON MAN HELD UP Frank Somerville of Bennington, pro prietor of a cigar store, was held up by two highwaymen on his way home from his store early Sunday morning and re lieved of nearly $275. Mr. Somervlllo left his store shortly beforo one o'clock Sun day morning and started for his homo In the . est part of the town. He had with him an unusually large sum of money, a fact that was probably known by the men who lay In wait for him. As he passed up ono particularly dark street, two men ap- peareu irom ino carKncss. ijib uiiunei of the two, who wore a soldier's uniform, pressed two guns against Mr. Somerville, reauesttng him to hold up his hands.

In upport of his statement Senator Plielan says that outside of incorporated cities and towns in Los Angeles county one third of tho births are Japanese. The State board of health reports that during the past ten yeain Japanese births have Increased 3,000 per cent while white births have decreased about nine per cent.

We may not be able to do the big things some of us would like to see accomplished, but that Is no reason why we should neglect utterly to do the smaller things manifest ly within our roach. The short stretch of hard surface road way constructed a. number of years ago In the village of Essex Junction under the direction of H. M.

"He did that well," thought the passenger; "If this were n racing auto, we would have to have a steep bank all made for us on the turns. But now we're In the air; we pick our own road and create our own banks when we turn." The pilot explained above the roar of the motor that he was not going to do any acrohatlcs. "They can't be done with boats or soaplHncs becauso they have a heavier and more cum bersome body than a land machine and they haven't the excess motor power which Is nccessnry for stunts. This is a good deal safer than motorcycle riding, In my opinion," he ndded. The plane then gained altitude toward tho south and the passenger drank In the beauty of the Wlnooskl valley and the beautiful fanning country botwecn Burlington and the Green Mountains. The pilot was a bit blase about the scenery. I Know It s benutlful, he yell ed, "but this haze takes the edge off of It for me. Why, we could seo four times as much or aa far If tho hazo would clear away." Then he began to look at an In dicator which he atd gave tho R. P. M.'s so that he knew Just how much motor power he was getting. And tho passen ger, cool nnd calm and happy for the first time during the day, hoped that the pilot wouldn't ever glance nt the clock, but would fly and fly until the air got thin or gas gave out. Then the plane circled oyer Burling ton, which looked like a very trim and lint little toy town with Its streets pretty well hidden ln tho trees, and the parks and the college campus like tiny, well kept gnrden plots. Then tho roar died down, the pilot had throttled down the motor. There was little sound except the whistling of the wires. The plane glided down a gentle grade over busy North avenue. which was full of people ,all gazing up ward, swept by smoke stalks and cleared trees until the passenger was again over the water. Then at a height of fifteen feet or so tho pilot began to pull back on the controls, and slowly settling down, the plane glided for whnt seemed to bo a long period. Then It gently sheared off the top of a ripple and threw up a little spray, and came to a halt. As the passenger climbed out at the shore a minute later and realized that there was a hot and solid earth upon which he must spend most of his exis tence, he said "Well, that won't be my last flying boat ride. Yes, It wan tho sensation of a lifetime, and If my money will stretch that far, I don't see why I shouldn't enjoy many such." And the crowd who watched the Hying boat de cided that they liked to see such craft around and hoped that a lot of them would soon come to lie considered as regular features of the Chnmplaln Landscape, churches turned Into theatres.

"The farm la devoted entirety to wheat. and If It produces somewhere around the country's average of twenty-eight bushols per acre, which Is practically certain, it will add approximately Ave million six hundred and flfty-aix thou sand buahala to the 1919 wheat crop. -ah or tne work la being acne wrth tractors. Last fall, when the flrat ground wna broken, thcro were fifty monater machines at work tearing up the pralrlo sod. This spring others have been at work. They plow on an average of one acre a minute for the working time. A record was made one day of eighteen hundred and .eighty acres turned and broken. All the seeding, harvesting, etc, will ulso be done by tractors, and then, of course there aro the threshing machines. Hence the absolute no-ae cnuntness of horses about this place."

CURIOUS ARTILLERY EXPERI MENTS "One of the many curious experiments made with the purpose of securing long rango nnd reducing air resistance result od In a 'flaming' shell," writes J. H. Vait Deventer In Everybody's for July. "The fore part of the shell contains a mixture of phosphorus and copper oxld, which Is ignited as the shell leaves tho gun; not, strange to say, for the pur pose of setting Are to the enemy's works or trains, but simply to Increase the range. Experiments have shown In creased ranges of almost twenty per cent., for these flaming shells. The ex planation seems to be that the gases given off coat the shell with a sort of frlctionloss gas film. Wind-tunnel ex periments show that air resistance is cut down almost seventy-five per cent., by these gas films." TWO STRANGE METALS But perhaps the most Interesting metals of all aro sodium and potassium. They are usually mentioned together bo cause they act In almost the same way. If a piece of either is placed on water It does not sink but spins over the sur face nnd often, in the case of potassium, bursts Into flame. After the metal has dissolved in tho water, it will bo found to be soapy. If the -metal Is placed on water colored with red litmus, the water will turn blue. If the metal Is placed In pure concentrated sulphuric acid noth ing will happen, but if a drop of water Is added there will be a violent explosion. Boys' Life for July.
