No Knljhtly Courtiers Ever Acted With

By GRACE GOULDER.
(With the American Y. W. C. A. Over
seas.) Cobleiiz, Germany,
March 28 (liy Mall.)
It happened right here In Goblenz.
A big corporal came into the Y. W.
C. A. Hostess House nnd asked for the
director, Miss Kuth Woodsman, who
comes from Colorado Springs, Colo.
"Could my mother stay here?" he
began -at once, trying his best to cover
liis excitement.
"Your mother !" gasped Miss Wood
Binall. "How did your mother ever get
here?"
"Well, she Isn't here yet, hut If she
conies will you keep her?"
i "Of course I will, but "
j She didn't finish, for the boy hnd
smashed ills cap back on ids bead and
was out of the door on n run.
The corporal's visit remained n mys
tery for two days. Then one evening
Just at dusk a little white haired wo
man dressed exquisitely in black np
ipeared In the silling room of the Host
ess House, and the corporal was hovor
ilng behind her, trying to be beside her
mini back of her and in front of her
all at . once. He was carrying her
from the county line north through
Will, Kaukukee and Iroquois coun
ties to the Vermilion county line
running south. This work will ex
tend over a distance of D-1.5 miles at
a cost of $004,7UO and the construc
tion will be of concrete and bitumi
nous macadam.
At the same time Georgia will be
working on the road from Atlanta
through to Macon, through Clayton,
Henry, Spaulding, Pike and Monroe
counties, a distance of seventy-two
miles and a continuation of the Dixie
line in that state. In Tennessee and
Kentucky projects will be under way
which wilL, further serve to improve
tills famous old highway which cuts
through the central section of the
country frm north to south.
PATCHING IN RIGHT MANNER
Work Done Properly While Road
Wet and Followed by Drag Is

Is
Patching done in the proper manner
when the road is wet, followed by a
road drag, will maintain an old gravel
road surfuce as good as new until it is
so badly worn thut an entire new sur
face is required. The gravel should
never be poorer than that forming the
surface layer of the old roud, and es
pecially should not. contain an excess
of clay.
