Speeders and the Highway.
From the Johnstown Democrat.
Highway Commissioner F. B. Black
was absolutely right when he called
off the speed events scheduled for a
state road near Uniontown. Now if
Commissioner Black can call off the
speed events being staged daily on
highways all over Pennsylvania he
will be deserving of still more credit.
It is hard to imagine just where
motorists get the idea that the State
is building highways simply so that
they can crowd 40 miles of road into
60 minutes going. It is hard to im-
agine where motorists get the furth-
er idea that the Stateis permanentiz-
ing the hills so that car drivers can
make them “on high.” There are all
too many folks running loose these
days who are road-burners; who en-
danger their own lives and the lives
of sane people who also use the high-
ways. Every mile or so the same
driver encounters the “nut” whose
foot is always trying to get more and
more power from his motor; who
boasts that he will “take a chance;”
who passes a fellow traveler on the
inside of a left-hand curve or at the
top of a steep hill. These are the
men who make travel on good high-
ways an abomination. These are the
men who use the state’s roads not to
benefit themselves nor their fellows,
but merely as testing tracks for their
cars. And there are too many of
them.
Pennsylvania is not building better
highways simply that owners of cars
may enjoy a drive in the cool of an
evening. These better highways must
serve other purposes. They are
meant to expedite the marketing of
farm products—to reduce the cost of
this marketing; and by reducing the
cost and expediting the delivery to
lower the price of the produce itself.
Commissioner Black recognizes this
fact, as did his predecessor, the late
Robert J. Cunningham. The state's
roads are not speedways—they are
utilitarian routes. for trade; they are
aids to endeavor; they are sprags in
the upward trend of the cost of liv-
ing. The race tracks and concreted
speed rings were made for the speed
fiend—not the state’s highways.

Submersible Boat Ready to Sail.
Baltimore, July 19.—The German
merchant submarine Deutschland with
every indication of being ready to sail
at a moment’s notice was still lying
at her pier here at a late hour tonight.
Her officers and crew were aboard
her return cargo of nickel and crude
rubber was said to be all stowed and
her fuel tanks had been filled with a
fresh supply of petrol.
CREW FEAR RETURN TRIP.
Baltimore, Md.,
stricken and on the verge of panic the
crew of the Deutschland dread the or-
der that will start them on their re-
turn passage across the Atlantic.
None believe they will escape the
dragnet being thrown out by the Al-
lied cruisers now off the capes. They
feel sure that they will fall victims to
the enemy cruisers, not through shot
from the cannons, nor balls from the
high-powered rifles in the little Brit-
ish patrol boats, but from disabled en-
gines in a net that the enemy is
spreading just off the three-mile lim-
it.
The members of the crew whose
names will go down in history for the
creation of a new commercial era,
have openly expressed this feeling to
friends on Locust Point.
Everything is being made in readi-
ness for an early departure of the ves-
sel from Baltimore. The sailors of
the Deutschland were busy today bid-
ding goodbye to their friends. All
shore leave was taken from the mem-
bers of the crew at sundown today
and instructions were issued that
none could leave the pier to which the
craft is moored.
GEORGIA FISH GO ON SPREE
Finny Tribe Is Alleged to Have
Caroused Disgracefully While
Atlanta Humans Thirst.
Walter Taylor, city clerk, declares
that the fish in’ South river should
have the attention of the Humane so
ciety, says the Atlanta Journal. They
are being grossly mistreated by the
city since the police began dumping
blind tiger liquor in the sewers, he
‘states.
He said after a trip to the river with
Oscar Cochran, manager of the city
parks, that he found the fish in a
maudlin condition due to the excessive
use of alcohol. Most of them were in
a disgraceful state of intoxication, and
‘the ones that were not were fighting
to get their share.
He says the river is rapidly becom-
ing stocked with fish from farther
down the stream, coming up to get
a share of the liquid. And he adds
that the inhabitants of the region are
‘trying to find a way to extract the
alcohol without having to eat the fish,
recognizing that the two don’t go well
together.
Put the Children First.
At Broad and Spring streets I saw
20 automobiles held up while Law.
dressed as a bluecoat, escorted a little
schoolgirl across the:street. The thing
is repeated forty times, yea, a hundred
times every day.
Nowhere else in the city does Edu
cation in short frocks and knee
breeches meet Mammon in his limou
‘sine and fight for the right of way as
‘at that point. And I'm glad to report
/that with one of the most efficient and
‘best-natured “cops” in the world or
guard, Mammon does more waiting
than embryo Education.
“Whoa, there,” exclaims the Law, as
Mammon comes tearing down Broad
“What the devil,” roars Mammon
“I'm in a hurry.”
“Yes,” says the Law, “but so are
these children. The school bell won’
wait for them.”
And off goes the Law to help a
bunch of laughing children across thai
hazardous way, while wealth in its
robes and furs sits in futile rage.

The Strayberry.
Strawberry is not its real name
though with any other name it would
taste just as sweet. It came to us
‘as a strayberry and by some sort of
linguistic hocus pocus “stray’s was
changed to “straw.” It was the stray
berry’s wanderlust that gave it a
name that meant something. Down
‘under the ground the plant sends oul
runners in every direction. Thus it!
strayed about in the dark and sent oui
new shoots that bear the sweetest
berry the sun ever kissed. But we
have become so used to strawberry
that any other name in a shortcake
would detract from its glory. You can
'not think of a strayberry shortcake
If it was on the bill of fare you would
.order prune pie instead. But it is
well enough, not to lose the beautiful | W.
meaning, that out of a humble origin
comes most of the excellence of life
But if we call it strayberry we wil
be sure it does not stray far from the
land of luxury.—Ohio State Journal.
Care of Children’s Eyes.
‘When the sun climbs higher every
day and shines daily more brightly it
is a good thing to remember that chil
dren’s eyes are not quite as well adapt:
ed to bright lights as are those of
grown people. Children are not often
permitted to choose their hats, and il
they were they would not be likely
to remember the brightness of the sun
at the time of the choosing. Little
children in their carriages or the arms
of parents are too often compelled to
face a brilliant sky or even the sun
itself with no adequate protection ta
‘tHe eyes. There is no doubt that a
igreat deal of the trouble which affects
;the eyes in later life could be prevent.
ed if parents would never expect the
‘children to face brighter lights than
they themselves would find uncomfort-
able.~Osteopathic Magazine.

BIRD IS EXPERT BRICKLAYEF|
Feathered Artisan Rolls Mud Into Pel
lets of Required Size and Erects
Substantial Home.
Years ago, before houses and barns
were as plentiful as they are now, the
cliff swallow used to build his house
of tiny mud bricks on the side of a
rocky cliff. The nest builders find a
convenient patch of clay, roll up the
mud into tiny pellets and carry they
to their nesting site. There they
fashion them into a home as skillfully
as any bricklayer could do it, rounding
it over the top like a roof and leav-
ing a round opening for a door.
Today the bird doesn’t have to find
a cliff for his home. A sheltered place
under the eaves of a barn will suit
him just as well. You’ll find more cliff
swallows today at home under the
eaves than you will in their ancestral
castles on the rocks.
The bird wears a shiny blue-black
coat and a brownish-yellow vest. His
tail, reddish-brown, is only slightly
forked, which distinguishes him from
the regular “swallow-tails.”
Perhaps you have been told that the
nest of the cliff swallow is infested
with bedbugs, and perhaps you have
torn down all the nests you could find
to get rid of the pests. This is a
common slander against the swallow.
The nest-contains no insects which can
be communicated to the house. On
the other hand, the cliff swallow per
forms immeasurable benefit by de
stroying many leaf bugs and weevils.

Dental Room for Animals. |
In order that the teeth of domestic
pets may be given proper attention, a
dental department has of late been
established in the Angell Memorial
hospital, a Boston institution for the
medical and surgical treatment of
dumb animals. Dogs, cats and other
animals are cared for by experienced
practitioners who work upon them
with almost as much care as if they
were human. Even to many admirers
of dogs, the thought of giving at
tention to an animal’s teeth may pos
sibly seem odd. Yet the importance
of doing so is very apparent to any
one who realizes the close connection
between good teeth and good health
So far the dental work has been con:
‘fined chiefly to cleaning teeth, treat
ing affected gums and extracting now
and then a decayed tooth. The depart:
ment, however, is well equipped with
instruments, and it is understood that
other work will be undertaken.—
