the Issues of a great campaign are

this city of the middle west.
Roosevelt started the tide of battle

President Wilson selected the City

Charles Fvans Hughes launched his
campaign for the presidency here
August 7.
Ask Michigan politicians why and
Hie answer almost invariably is:
“Ford."
Roosevelt came to tight the anti
militaristic niovi nmnt that crystallz
cd following Henry Ford's unexpected
appearance in the results of the pres,
idential primaries.
Wilson picked Detroit, as the place
for his address on Mix lean relations.
Politicians believed he picked Detroit
because he recognized It as a repre
sentative industrial center.
Then came Hughes, selecting De
troit as tho scene of ids flrst offen

tical polities. Michigan was the llrst
state in the union to declare deflnlto

Maryland Engineer Gives Many Valu
ab*e Suggestions Along
the Line
By H. G. Shirley, Chief Highway
Engineer of Maryland.
It will be many years before Hie
earth road will be in the minority, and
and in many places it. will neither lie
economical nor will the taxable re
sources justify the construction of
u ingut r
Thu earth road has often been
maintained by the most, ignorant men
in fact, it has not been maintained
at all. It has been generally believed
that it would take care of itself, re
quiring no work except, perhaps, the
cutting away of hushes and possibly
shaping with a road machine in the
spring to give it better drainage to
the side ditches. I know of no other
type that has been so abused or has
received the careless and Ineffcient
maintenance to which the earth road
has been subjected. There is no type
upon which so much money is being
wasted as the earth road, primarily
through ignorance and neglect.
i have seen instances where a soft
place existed in a hollow badly under
drained. Year after year a large
amount of stone was hauled to this
place and dumped on it, where it
disappeared by the close of Spring.
Nevertheless this procedure would be
steadily adhered to every successive
year until tlio stone finally formed a
compact mass. Hut the moisture in
the earth made a mudhole at each
end. and the same performance had
to he repeated at each end the next
year until a large quantity of stone
dually displaced the mud. This is ex
pensive road building.
Barth roads should be worked in
the early spring. If the roadbed is
rutted, in bad condition, an flat, with
out the proper cross-section, it should
be plowed from gutter to gutter, shap
ed with a road machine until it has
the proper cross-section, and then
kept constantly dragged until it Is
properly consolidated. After the road
has been given this attention, then
with constant care, it can be kept In
good condition until the freezing and
thawing are at hand, when it is nec
essary to dig it up again just as soon
as the frost leaves the ground.
in maintaining earth roads we find
that after the road has been properly
haped, the ditches opened, and the
road given the proper cross-section, a
patrolman with a split log drag can
keep from tive to eight miles m good
condition for at least ten months in
the year. The patrolman drags the
road after each raio when the earth
Is tii a moist and damp condition, and •
thus the road is kept smooth and has
the proper cross section. A descrip
tion of tlie method of making and
using such a drag can lie obtained
without charge from the IT. S. Office
ot Public Roads and Rural Hngineer
itig nt Washington.
When the road is dry and the sur
face Is in good condition, the patrol
man spends his time in opening up
the gutters, tilling any small washes !
that may occur In the shoulders, and (
If there are any spots In the road
where the earth Is soft and of such
n nature that will not bear the traf-j
f-C, he digs it out and replaces It 1
with a good materials. In places
where there are wet spots, owing to
the lack of proper umlerdrainage, the
patrolman digs them out and tills
them with stone or logs, making blind '
drains, i have found that, by first '
putting down a. layer of field stone,
next placing three logs so as to form
a kind of trough, and then tilling In
over the logs with stone, an efficient

AID FLOOD VICK
Congress Makes. Appropriation for
Sufferers in Southern Part of
State
Congress took r.t*>r°- yesterday to
extend federal aid to West V irginia
flood victims In Paint and Cabin
Creeks and Hie Kanawha and Coal
River Valleys. The senate adopted a
resolution appropriating $100,00o for i
their relief and the house adopted an- J
other resolution ineluding West Vir
ginia among southern states to share
In the $500,000 flood relief appropria- I
tlon recently approved. The house
measure probably will be accepted by j
tiua Senate as a substitute. ■
The House's action followed inef 'i
factual eflorth of Representative l.it
tlepnge to seriirn Immediate consider
ation of a resolution appropriating j
$200,000. Representative Sherley. of
Kentucky, objected, suggesting that
West Virginia be Included among the JL
southern states already granted re- 3
lief Representative Nttlepage ncced
i'il and with little objection, the house 3
undertrain can me made to eliminate
n wet spot.
To maintain a mile of earth road
properly will cost from $40 to $100
a year, depending largely upon the
character of soil upon which the mart
Is built: ns well as upon the amount
and kind of traffic.
