JHRU POWER TO PROSPERITY
The day is approaching when
actically all the hard manual
rk of the United States with
118,000,000 people will be
by electricity, and done far
swiftly and cheaply than
bn labor could accomplish it.
benefits, and greater ones
lie in the future for Ameri-
ire due to the energy and vis-
with which a few leaders
grasped and solved the prob-
of power supply on a nation-
scale.
WHY THE PRINTER, ANY
MORE THAN THE, FARMER?
The printers and the publishers
lof the country have been patient
nd long-suffering in their submis-
sion to government competition in
the printing business.
If the Department of Agriculture
should contract with an organiza-
tion of poultry raisers, hog raisers,
or wheat raisers to furnish it cer-
tain amounts of these products
which it, in turn, would sell at
prices impossible for small farm-
ers to meet, the situation would
be the same as that faced by the
small printers of the country who
cannot meet government competi»
tion, in printing return addresses
gn stamped envelopes.
FOURTH OF JULY
The Fourth of July this year
marks the 150th anniversary of
the signing of the Declaration of
Independence. In view of
‘special importance of the occasion,
‘several local people have suggested
‘that Mount Joy observe the day
* in some fitting manner, in which
the entire community will take
part.
These suggestions, as submitted
to the Bulletin include a program
of sports, a large display of fire-
‘works, appropriate exercises, and
he like—in fact, a complete, all-
ly program which would appeal
everyone.
Altho in the past few years no
jh celebration has marked the
here, the proposal would seem
cal and fitting. Let’s all do
part to see that it is carried

idespread interest on part of
way engineers is being shown
developing some form of low
5 construetion for moderate
which will be a distinet im-
over any form of earth
sand-clay or topsoil road yet pro-
duced.
“There is a great need for such
development, for it is very evident
that there is definite economic lim-
it to the total yardage of high-
priced, high class pavements which
the nation can build. Already a
number of state highway depart-
ments and a special committee of
the National Research Council are
at work on this problem.
,#Some modification of the upper
_ Portion at least of road soils, will
be necessary. Crushed stone pro-
ducts are adapted for this purpose
A fairly light covering of crushed
stone and a suitable asphaltic ma-
terial further materially improves
the road at low cost. If traffic re-
quiremgnts finally demand a high
grade pavement, the old stone road
would produce an excellent founda-
tion for a relatively thin water-
proof wearing course. Such con
struction is certainly worthy of
careful consideration.”
Thus, the evolution of a
seems to be (first) dust
(second) crushed stone or gravel
(third) a binder like road oil or
asphalt to hold the gravel together
and (fourth) such higher type of
Pavement as can utilize to the
fullest extent expenditures previ-
ously made on the road in build-
ing up the foundation.

AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD
American achievement and in-
genuity have overshadowed the
world, and now comes the an-
nouncement that Lieutenant-Com-
mander Richard E. Byrd has Cross-
ed the north pole in an aeroplane
and is back safely at his base,
King’s Bay, Spitzbergen. The
plane bearing Lieutenant-Comman-
der Byrd, of Virginia, and his pi-
lot, Floyd Bennett, left King’s Bay
at midnight, and fifteen and one-
half hours later the great mono-
plane was heard over King’s Bay,
giving evidence of ,the victorious
achievement. In the fifteen and
one-half hours it traveled approxi-
mately 1,600 miles, averaging bet-
ter than 100 miles an hour.
There is something about Ameri-
can achievement that thrills even
the man of foreign birth. He re.
cognizes that American sportsman.
ship is clean-cut, and that no un-
due advantages are even taken in
the great game of chance; The
American aviators were the first
to fly around the world, and now
a Virginian has sailed over the
top of the world in an American-
e plane. Again we say that
American ingenuity and achieve-
ment have won. achievement
falls to the eredit of Lieutenant.
Commander Byrd and his pilot,
and the ingenuity to the inventor
f the Fokker monoplane. Howev-

achievement for all. The

Presence of Mind
A recent ecclesiastical method of
removing an evil spell from a church-
vard seems to have been less simple
than that of Archbishop Thomson in
exorcising a ghost from a mansion
where he once spent a night, He was
lodged in the haunted chamber, and
in the morning his hostess inquired
anxiously if he had seen anything.
“Oh, yes,” replied the archbishop, “I
wakened to find an old pinched-look-
ing man in the room. I jumped up
and asked if he lived in the house.
He nodded assent. Was he a parish-
ioner? I asked. Again he nodded.
Then, said I, I should like to ask your
help for our new school building fund.
At that he vanished, and disturbed me
no more.”
Sweet Pea an Importation
The sweet pea is a native of the
island of Sicily and was first men-
tioned in 1695 by an Italian monk,
who sent seeds to England and Hol-
land. The seeds of sweet peas be-
came an article of commerce as early
as 1724. Sweet peas have been grown
for more than a century in America,
and all of the varieties known in Eu-
rope were grown here. There was a
wave of popularity for the sweet
pea in America between 1885 and
1900, while the tide, which received
its great impetus through the intro-
duction of the waved, or Spencer,
type, was just beginning to rise at
the sweet-pea celebration in London
in 1900.
The half-tone printing plate was
invented in 1881 by Frederick E.
Ives, a Cornell Universiity re-
search worker. The Government
Printing Office was the first user
of his plates.

dy which should prove to be an
effective deterrent for reckless
drivers.
In the future, when ' licenses
have been denied automobilists,
or when the right to drive has
been revoked by duly authorized
public officials, the persons thus af-
fected will be unable to obtain au-
tomobile insurance through any of
the principal casualty and surety
companies which comprise the Na-
tional Bureau.
Motor vehicle commissioners in
different states will furnish immed-
iately to the National Bureau the
names of all persons whose licens-
es have been revoked. This in-
formation will immdiately be dis-
tributed to the companies, and
further insurance to reckless driv-
ers will be refused and existing
insurance will be canceled.
It is an established fact, say the
Bureau officials, that many serious
accidents are caused by criminal
and carless motorists who continue
'to operate even after their licens-
es have been revoked for good
cause. :
Insurance carried by an irre-
sponsible and reckless driver sirp-
ly makes him more careless, The
action of the casualty companies
is a move 6 in the right direction
and if all states would cooperate
with these companies in weeding
out undesirable drivers, the ulti-
mate result would be fewer acci-
ents, and insurance atg lower cost
