CUB STAR OUT OF FRATERNITY
QUEER GREETINGS.
Tribes That Spit Upon or Weep Over
Their Visitors.
Among the Masai and Dkerewe it Is
a mark of respect to greet an acquaint
ance or a stranger by spitting at him.
Almost as strange is the custom ascrib
ed to the Tibetans of sticking out the
tongue by way of salutation. Rubbing
noses is quite common; the Burmese
and many tribes of Eskimos, Lapland
ers and Malays do so.
Stranger than any of these customs
is the weeping salutation that has been
observed a worn; central South Ameri
can Indians. This form of greeting oc
curs, too, in the Andaman islands. New
Zealand and Polynesia. A Portuguese
explorer describes the custom as he
saw it used among a tribe of South
American Indians:
"Whenever a guest enters a hut he
is immediately honored and made wel
come by being wept over. Without a
word being spoken he is led to the
hammock. As soon as he is seated the
hostess and her daughters and any of
their girl friends who happen to be In
the house (it the time come and sit
about the guest, touch him lightly with
their fingers and commence to weep
loudly and to shed many tears. During
this eeretnony.Mn a sort of connected
discourse, they recite everything that
has happened to them recently and talk
of the hardships of the road that the
visitor has suffered and of anything
and everything that can arouse com
passiou and tears. The guest, bis hand
before his face, pretends to weep and
does not speak until the crying has
gone on for some time. Then they all
Wipe away their tears and become as
lively and merry as if they had never
cried In all t)wir live." Exchance.
Zimmerman Fails to Pay Dues to
Players' Organization.
Heiuie Zimmerman, the hard hitting
third baseman of the Chicago National
league club, Is no longer a member of
the Baseball Players' fraternity. David
L. Fultz. president of the Players" or
ganization, confirmed a report to this
effect, explaining that Zimmerman had
been dropped in July after failure to
pay his dues, Zimmerman owed for
six weeks, snid Fultz.
Others also financially delinquent
were notified that their names had
been removed from the membership
list. Fultz said, but they were rein
stated after their applications were ap
proved by the advisory board. Zimmer
man can join again by applying form
ally for reinstatement, but. according
to Fultz, the Chicago i l i ver has not
evidenced any desire i i!n so. Fultz
attrilmtfd Zimiuerunin's uttitude to
ward tlie fraternity as iinl fference and
not as meaning that he vas hostile to
ward it.
Be Careful, Mac.
President McAleer's plans to travel
around the world with an all star base
ball Hub are likely to- be upset owing
to the fact that his Boston Red Sox are
balking over their contracts for 1914.
THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL.
Still one thing remains to furnish
the house beautiful, without which
guests and books and flowers only
emphasize the fact that the house is
not a home. 1 mean the warm
light in the rooms that comes from
kind eyes, from quick, unconscious
smiles, from gentleness in tones,
from habits of forethoughtfulness for
one another all that happy illumi
nation which in the 'inside of a
house corresponds to morning sun
light outside falling on quiet dewy
fields. William Channing GanneL
Lights Were Out,
.The stranger was driving his auto
through the crowded thoroughfare of
Boston. It was night At the corner
of Tremont and Boylston a large traf
fic cop halted the stranger. Walking
over to the car, the cop said:
"1 should like to call your attention
to the fact that one of your forward
irradiators Is shrouded In gloom and
the effulgence of the Illuminator has
evanesced and that the transversal
ether oscillations in your rparmost In
candeseencer have been discontinued."

GRAVEL VERSUS
CONCRETE ROAD
Each One Best In Its Proper
Place, Says Expert. -
BUILDING METHODS BETTER.
For All Kinds of Country Traffic the
Gravel Highway Is Excellent, but It
Is Impracticable In Suburban Towns.
Lasts Five Years.
By FRANK F. ROGERS,
State Highway Commissioner of Mich
igan. Farmers who have been building the
old fashioned gravel roads In counties
where the traffic is not great need not
lose any sleep for fear that they have
been doing the wrong thing. A gravel
road is plenty good enough for all ordi
nary country traffic.
Wayne county, Mich., has the most
elaborate and extensive system of con
crete roads in the world. The tests of
the state highway commission were
made just outside the city limits of De
troit on several roads and also on the
county line, from a dozen to a score of
miles farther out. The result was very
good news for the ordinary road build
ers, who haven't a fortune to- spend on
the work, but bad news for the manu
facturers of concrete making machines.
A three months' daily count of the
vehicles on a road just outside Detroit
gave an average of 2.1G0 daily. At the
county line the average was only
slightly in excess of 300. At the coun
ty line the road was gravel and with
stood that much traffic with practically
no damage. As Wayne county has al
most three-quarters of a million people
and a correspondingly large traffic, the
deduction is that in the vast majority
of counties 1?i the United States gravel
roads will serve all necessities for
many years to come.
But a gravel road near Detroit would
be worse than useless. Wayne county
is not making a mistake in building
concrete roads. Neither will any other
iiiiliiiiiiiBPiilliii

county in any state where the traffic
Is heavy make a mistake in building
them. A gravel road near any large
city wouldn't last three months.
Gravel roads under ordinary traffic
will last five years.
Methods of making concrete roads
seem to have improved largely within
a few years. The concrete is laid in
sections about twenty-five feet in
width. A road made four years ago
was found by inspection to be 76 per
cent defective after a year's use. A
road made in 1912 suffered only 27
per cent in a year.
The defects found in the roads were
not ascribed to traffic. Near Detroit
89 per cent of the traffic is in automo
biles and only 11 per cent 'horse drawn.
Automobiles do not injure concrete.
The defects are cracks and holes, due
to careless construction. The com
mission found that in places where the
road had for its foundation the origi
nal highway the concrete had remain
ed perfect. Where it had been built
upon filled in foundation the filling in
had not been made solid enough. The
result was longitudinal cracks extend
ing practically the entire length of the
filled In stretches.
Transverse cracks were found singly
and infrequently. They were ascribed
to lack of sufficient space between the
section to allow for contraction and
expansion caused by heat and cold.
Diagonal cracks, also Infrequent, are
due to a combination of both the faults
which cause the longitudinal and trans
verse cracks. Holes are due to foun
dation substances such as clay, wood
or uncrushed rock having been Imbed
ded in the concrete when it was soft.
It is thus shown that no one kind
of road is good for all conditions. The
concrete road and the gravel road are
the extremes of roads good enough to
be called good. There are other kinds
of intermediate quality of resistance
to- traffic. The kind that ought to be
built in any locality depends upon the
amount of traffic they will have to
sustain and the cost of getting the
material there. The latter item might
be so great as to fail to justify the
kind of road which other circum
stances would call for. The soil and
the drainage must be considered.
Concrete roads are easily and inex
pensively repaired. The method is to
pour tar In the cracks and. holes and
sift sand over It This patching seems
to be permanent and costs from $30 to
$100 Der mile.
Hard Workers.
Only one in 10,000 ean be a genius,
bat any one can be a hard worker,
which' pays better. The biggest busi
ness men are nothing more than the
best workmen who have been promot
ed. The world Is full of three-quarters
men. They are three-quarters Indus
trious ant cannot get all the way. A
man should know his job thoroughly
and Oil It with enthusiasm. His work
Is his backer, his source of credit, bis
hope of prosperity and distinction. Be
as careful of your job as you are of
year note In a bank. Howe's Monthly.

DETAILS OF ROAD MAKING.
Construction, Maintenance and Water
ways Are Difficult Problems.
"Of all the factors which go to make
np the perfect macadam road," says
Logan Waller Page, "there Is un
doubtedly none more potent than that
of the suitability of the material which
enters its construction. There are two
ways In which the engineer may avail
himself of the information necessary
to a proper selection of road ma
terial. The first and only certain onej
is to make an actual service test on
the material under observation and
under the same conditions of traffic
and climate to which the proposed
road will be subjected. The second
method is by means of short time la
boratory tests to approximate as near
ly asjjossible the destructive agencies
to which the material will be subject
ed on the road."
A properly designed waterway struc
ture should fulfill the following re
quirements: Waterway sufficient to carry off
promptly the water coming to it: prop
er foundations to bear the loads, resist
undermining and give long service; su
perstructure designed to bear for' a
long period of years any load which
may legally be imposed upon it and
so constructed as, to serve the comfort
nnd convenience of travel and economy
of maintenance.

FLAGS FOR ROAD PATROL.
European Plan Adopted to Keep High
way Repairers at Work.
Eisrht hundred white flags inscribed
"S. H. D. Patrol" are flying on the
highways of New York state, marking
the places where the men engaged in
repairing roads are at work, according
to a plan of Commissioner, of High
ways John N. Carlisle. Many com
plaints have been made regarding the
failure of patrolmen to care properly
for the highways, and under the new
plan Commissioner Carlisle hopes to
make the patrol service more effective.
The flag system has been adopted
from the European countries, where
the maintenance of highways has be
come more of an exact science than it
is in America. The display of the little
white flsiss along the highways abroad
has lind the effect. Commissioner Car
lisle says, of making patrolmen more
efficient, as the failure on the part of
the citizens of those countries to see
the flacrs usually is reported to head
auarters.
