GREAT READING DAM
WILL FLOOD GRAVES
Reservoir Will Cover Two
Old Cemeteries.
Heading, Pa, Conatructlon of tha
huge Maiden creek dam by the city
of Heading, the contract for which
wo awarded to th McLean Construe
tlun company of Baltimore, at a bid
of $.108,000, will wipe out two rural
cemeteries. Actual work will be start
ed shortly and tha dam will back np
the waters of the creek, covering
part of three townships, to larva as
an Impounding reservoir to take care
of Beading's water needs for many
years.
The descendant of the Milden
creek pioneers feel keenly the dese
cration of their cemeteries. Many of
th resident of Mulden Creek, Onte
launee and Richmond townships hive
relatives burled In the plot at the
Friend meeting house or In Forney's
cemotory, both of which are Includ
ed In th area proposed to be flooded.
, Qoee Back to 1710.
Th burial plot of the Friends'
meeting house date back to 1730, with
Interments as recently ai two years
ago. Th first burlali were made In
unmarked graves. The faith of those
worshiping there forbids any ihowujg
whatsoever, with tb result that no
tombstone were erected to mark the
last resting place of th pioneer set
tlers of the aectlon. Since the ceme
tery Is to be relocated It will mean
that the entire plot to a depth of at
least all or aeven feet will hive to
be gone over, as It 1 Impossible to
locate all th grave. Only th mora
recent are marked. It Is this that
disturb those who hive relatives in
terred there.
Tha parents of State Secretary of
Agriculture Frank P. Wllllt and Wil
liams Wllllta, an Implement dealer, at
Calcium, are burled In the old grave
yard. Both men made a plea before
the stats water power and resource
board to save tb cemetery, but th
board granted th permit to th city
to proceed with th work of erecting
the dam. Many other descendants of
th pioneers of th Maiden creek re
gion had representatives at the bear
ing before th stat board, aome of
th oldest famllle In that section be
ing represented. Th board, however,
refused to deliy th matter of water
supply.
Forney's graveyard Is a family plot
and ! loci ted on tb farm of Jacob
Forney. The entire farm will be taken
by the city and the burial plot will
have to be relocated. This has been
the burial place for the family for
number of generations and always baa
been maintained In first -class con
dition.
Hlstorie Landmark.
The destruction of the Friends
meeting house will remove an historic
landmark. It waa erected In 1730 by
the Society of Friend and ha weath
ered the itormi of almot two centu
ries. In lateera It has been used
aa a place of worship, but hardly a
day pass that one or more descend
ants of those responsible for Its cre
ation do not visit the hallowed spot
Down through the ages the old meet
ing house baa atood ai a monument
to the efforts of the Llghtfoota, Starrs,
Psrvins, Wylers, Penroees, Lees, Houl
tons and others, who were among the
Bret settlers. They blixed ths trail
In an uncleared land and, after many
years, were luccemful In giving
Berks one of the nioet productive ag
ricultural sections, only to have their
deecendants view the disturbance of
the remains renting for more than a
century In the burial plot
The erection of the Impounding dam
Is a big undertaking and haa been
under consideration fur aome time by
the city council. It will solvs Res fl
ing's water-supply problem for many
years to come.

"If I can give a word of encourage

Intermarriage Blots
Out Hawaiian Races
Honolulu. If Interracial marriages
In Hawaii contluue at the present
nite, It will be a wine child, aftor a
few generations, who even knows to
what race his ancestors belonged, In
the belief of Dr. Itomanio Adama,
head of the department of aoclology
at th Unlveralty of Hawaii.
Thlrty-flv per cent of the marrtngea
of whit men In the Islands are with
women of other race, Doctor Adam
said. More white men than women
contract Interracial marriage, because
there an more white men here, ow
ing to the presence ef large numbers,
of soldiers.

MORE AND BETTER
ROADS EXPECTED
IDghwiy construction for 1020 will
result not only In better and imooth
or rooda, but new record are expect
ed to be made In roadway building,
according to a survey Just completed
by 0, R, oiokes, manager of th high
way construction department of the
National Lime association.
A eerie of tests made In various
sections of ths country show that by
adding hydrated lime to the mix, a
material 'aavlng In time Is secured,
particularly on grades and curves, ac
cording to leading engineers and con
tractors who took part In ths tests.
Experiments In building a road In
marathon county, Wisconsin, showed
thst an average of 77 more lineal feet
of 18-foot root wo laid a day when
lime was used.
"Allot the reports showed that lime
added to the concrete mix allows It
to be plsced esaler, and permits a
quicker finish, Mr. Stokes said. Th
contractor's report that there Is
lack of segregation, that there la no
excess of wster to be removed from
the pavement surface, and that maxi
mum consistency csn be maintained
through better control of the water
content" The contractors reported
thst the ue of lime not only con
served time, with resultant reduc
tion In pay roll expenses, but also
gave the road to the public for use
at an earlier date,
According to T. Warren Allen,
chief of the division of control of the
bureau of public roads, th "lost-time"
element Is a problem that Is of th
gravest Importance In road building.
Appearing before th house commit
tee on roads recently Mr. Allen de
clared that the bureau of public roada
wa collecting Information to show
tb results of poor management and
good management In the building of
highways.
"There are a great many mora
tteroa In th lost-time cstegory than
would appesr poialbl at first
thought" he said, "and during the
time that work Is actually performed
there are widely varying results, rang
ing from excellent progress dus to
good management to alow progress
due to poor management
"On the Janeevllle road In Wiscon
sin, as well u on roads In Ohio, ths
mix containing lime waa so dry that
rolling was unnecessary, reports re
ceived by Mr. Stokes from those
stite show.
"Th elimination of thl operation
Increased the efficiency of the Job and
enabled the finisher to work close to
ths mschlna, which resulted In a large
aaving la overtime finishing costs," Mr.
Stokes declared.
"Report truis ill aectlon of th
country being received at present In
dicate thst more headwsy will be
made during the coming summer
months la highway construction than
ver before, and that the roads will be
open to the public much sooner as a
result of our testa, showing a large
aavlng of time In the laying of con
crete roads," hs said.
