RESULT OF PEACE PARLEY
......... vlivnii C»», Gl«
ment of Czech* in Government Po-
•itione Formerly Occupied by Hun-
garians—Many Are Expelled.
Bratislava, Slovakia.—It Ih only on
Czechoslovakian map* that this an-
cient Hungarian city of Pressburg can
be located by Its new name. Ruled by
Hungary for a thousand years, It
passed under the control of the new
Czechoslovakian republic by the decis*-
ion of the peace conference, and u
large part of Its Inhabitants do not
take kindly to the new order of things.
Its people are doinlnnntly Germanic
or Hungarian.
The street signs are in German and
Hungarian characters, and now to them
Is being added Czech. The old postal
and telephone employees have been re-
placed by Czechs and Czech high of-
fleert* Installed in the government.
Slovak regiments on duly here have*
been replaced by purely Czech soldiers.
In u city as old and conservative and
routine as this, drifting through the
centuries undisturbed In Its social cus-
toms, theee things have made feeling
run rather high In certain social sjtrata.
Many Are Expelled.
Persons, regardless of sex, who have
not acquired legal residence are being
expelled. One man who told the Asso-
ciated Press he had lived and done
business here for forty years was ex-
pelled u few days ago. The list of
those cited for expulsion Is said to con-
tain names of dead persons.
Some Hungarians do not hesitate to
express their resentment over the em-
ployment of Czechs In government po-
sitions here formerly occupied by the
Hungarians. Czechs and many Slo-
vaks of the educated classes who hold
office under the government ?ay this
feeling is» due to Hungarian and Ger-
man propaganda, and has no real
strength or extent. Also they admit
the necessity of Czech officialdom, as
Slovakia has little or no educated class
from which to draw executives of abil-
ity.
Hard to Upset Tradition.
It Is hard to upset rudely the tradi-
tions of ten centuries, and talks with
many persons, both In official and un-
official circles, would indicate that the
antagonism displayed toward the
Czechs Is a natural condition of this
period of transition and Is not deeply
rooted. Probably it Is stronger here
In Pressburg than in the other parts
of Slovakia, where the change Is not
so apparent.
The school question plays a very
prominent part in the situation here.
The government has abolished the Ger-
man and Hungarian languages In the
schools, and tills means a general bust-
ing of teachers and a reaction In house-
holds.
KEEP ROADS IN GOOD REPAIR
Concrete or Special Road Brick 8et In
Cement Over Concrete Founda-
tion la Favored.
The war and the consequent railroad
congestion Imposed heavy traffic bur-
uens upon our highways; Durdens, in
fact, much greater than the roads were
built to sustain. To make matters
•uTlI worse, labor and repair materials
were scarcer during the war, and many
roads ns a result are now In deplora-
ble condition. As the preacher would
Ray, they are “more holy than right-
eous.’’
The year 1010 Is going to witness an
immense road repair movement. And
the work should be at leust fairly
permanent. Merely throwing dirt or

REAL Service
Six Officers Called in to Silence Pro-
tests of Unruly Pennsylvania
Youngster.
Heading, Pa.—Yells that sounded
like "murder’’ led dwellers In the ex-
clusive apartment house at Ninth and
Perm streets to summon the police.
In a room on the third floor of the
building six policemen found a five-
year-old boy from whom the sereains
emanated. Ills distress was due to the
fact that hif mother was brushing Ills
teeth. The policemen took a hand In
the performance. While four of them
formed a hollow square, the fifth
seized the youngster and held him
while the sixth administered a thor-
ough dental scrub. The policemen
then made the boy promise to submit
to the operation In quiet In the future.
Experiment Road of Vitrified Brick for
Paving Country Roads at Chevy
Chase, Md.—Finished Pavement in
Service.
loose stones In the holes Is a sheen1
waste of time, because after a few
automobiles and trucks go over the
roads these loose materials are pushed
out again and conditions are us bad
as ever. •
Broken stones and tar binder are
Die only satisfactory repair materials
for macadam roads, and many im-
proved country road? are of that type.
It is beginning to be realized that [
concrete or special road brick set in |
cement over a concrete foundation i
must bo used for truck roads designed j
to carry heavy truck traffc. Any- i
thing cheaper and less stable simply j
means bad roads and constant repairs, i
For laterals or main roads in sparse-
ly st illed countries where traffic is not ,
heavy and when flic amount available j
for road construction Is not large, tar ,
macadam highways are quite satisfac-
tory.

PLAN HONOR TO ROOSEVELT
Suggestions Have Been Made to Name
Transcontinental Highway After
Former President.
Memorials to the dead and tributes
to the living in the form of highways
Is a plan which Is catching the
popular fancy everywhere. Since
France christened a street In honor
of Wilson, Tientsin, Chinn, 1ms done
the same JLhing, and elsewhere sugges-
tions have been made that a trans-
continental highway bo named In
honor of Ttoosovelt. Louisiana Is plan-
ning n Victory oak way and sentiment
is reflected by movements to rename
streets and highways after heroes of
the war In other states.

DURABLE ROAD SAVES MONEY
Saving of Eight Cents Per Ton Mile
Can Be Effected in Transporta-
tion Costs Alone.
The report of the joint congression-
al committee which investigated high-
way economics In 1014 shows that a
saving of eight cents per ton mile can
be effected In transportation costs
when a road Is lilted trom the dirt to
the durable class. This does not take
into account Increased real estate val-
uations or social advantages resulting
from the Improvement.

IMPROVE ROADS FOR TRUCKS
Bureau of Markets Arrives at Conclu-
sion Motor Vehicles Have Passed
Experimental Stage.
Inadequate highways are one of the
penalties with which the user of high-
way transportation must contend, says
Bulletin No. 770, recently Issued by
the bureau of markets. The depart-
ment arrives at the conclusion Hint
I ho motortruck has passed the experi-
mental stage, but says that before It
can attain its fullest usefulness the
highways must be Improved.
Good Drainage Necessary.
The most necessary requirement of
a good road Is a solid, bone-dry foun-
dation. This means good, drainage
first, last and all the time.
Trees Along Highways.
Trees nt a distance of 50 or 00 feet
apart along the highway add to Its
comfort and pleasing appearance.
Makes Hauling Easy.
Easy to town, and easy to ride,
Make a farmer's hauling and loads
fairly glide.
