A member dojournlnn for the winter
In Dresden. (!er., writes us that the
rules regarding bicycle riding In that
city are ridiculous, ltidera nro com
pulled to have a ulckled shield with
name nnd nddress attached to the.
front part of the wheel. Rells must
be rung at nil crossings. Lamps must
be lighted at dusk. No counting Is al
lowed even In the country. At 110

It becomes more and more nppnrent
that what was formerly a public re
quest for good roads Is now becoming
a public demand. Where the people
were once satisfied to make n sugges
tion, they nre now disposal to dictate.
What Is good for everybody, nolxnly
should opitose. It Is now pretty well
understood that good roads nre the
most economical investment n people
can put their money In. How to Im
prove the public highways is now the
topic of discussion. There Is no longer
any question that they should be im
proved. Tlie already ov(kr-taxel farm
ers are beginning to look upon the se
curing of good roads as a local means
of Increasing their welfare rather
thuu as something to add to their pres
ent heavy burden of debt. There Is n
getting together of all the forces In
terested In the subject that warrants
the prediction that 1S07 Is to be a nota
ble year in highway Improvement.
The law makers and the road makers
nre being encouraged by all clasMes
and ages to do something of n practi
cal nature. Are you doing your
share? !ood Itoads.
The cycling tdiows nt Chicago and
New York will be the means of Intro
ducing to the public nil the new fea
tures for 1N1I7. It Is stHted that most
or the mnnufacturers this year have
adopted 70 inches as their standard
gear. This Is obtained by having a front
sprocket with twenty teeth, that on
the rear wheel having eight. All man
ufacturers give several options of
gears from tKHi to 80. However, they
recommend their customer to choose
one which may be obtained by the use
of eight or uiue teeth In the rear
sprocket, as they say exhaustive tests
have proved there Is more friction
when 11 sprocket of seven Is employed
than when a larger one Is used.

It is put up in large bottles
