Roads of Cotton Fabric The South will watch with interest, the in-ogress of in the use of coar.w collon fabrics in re-enforcing asphalt road surfnees. Two years of experimentation at the Cotton Textile Institute of New York have 'resulted in the development, of a bituminous reinforced fabric road surface with amazing qualities of economy and durability.

Short stretches of test highway have been surfaced with the fabric a'sphall combinallion in South Carolina and Texas, with results which apparently point; to its general adopt ion wherever a good surface is needed but the traffic does not justify the expense concrete. A. G. Burke, county judge of Phillips county, and the Helena Chamber of Commerce, have been so impressed with the possibilities of the new road that they have agreed to confer with the stale highway department with a to constructing a test road near is estimated that there are 3,000,000 miles of secondary roads in the country to which 'the new surface could applied with advantage. If this proves tnie tt market will be opened for an immense volume of American cotton.

About 7,000 square yards of .4.6 ounce fabric is required lor each of the paving. chief objection to light asphalt, surfacing its tendency to sag- ami crack at the edges, making maintenance expensive. Tests with the cotton re-enforcement indicate that the fabric prevents sagging and cracking, and also reduces the formation of longitudinal ruts and slipping of the familiar "washboarding" phenomenon.

The German folklore ol disease and Its treatment is na comical as any of the superstitions lliut prevail- In backward sections of the United Stales. There arc In Germany who telieve that anemia and jaundice can be cured by cooking bbccp's lice into Jam; that for a mother to have a child without much pain is to opon all tile doors, windows and boxes, to pull'-out all the drawers and to untie all the knots around the house.

They have their magical cures for epilepsy and scrofula. They think that paralysis can be cured by putting the patient lo sleep on the straw In a stable, where a tkinkcy slept. Some think that a newborn baby should nut liu on its left side, because that will nuke it left-handed. They believe lhat a person will sick all through his lite if soaieonc nets some of his hair and buries it in a cemetery. These arc of sympathetic magic, based largely on the Ule.is of similarity or symbolism.

Anyone can see how simple mind would arrive nt liio conclusion that the pains of ehilclblrth can bs relieved by untying a lot 01 knots. No doubt, the idea of healing paralysis by having the person lie cu (he straw where a donkey had slept is because the person with pandvsis seetns incapable as the animal credited with being the most Mupid of beasts.
