This Is especially true In those states which have a comparatively large number of cars and only a small mileage of Improved roads. Thus, Illinois, Inst November approved a bond Issue $00,000,000 for the construction of a system of state roads. The interest and principal of these bonds are to be paid entirely from the motor-vehicl- e revenues. There Is no doubt that these revenues will prove sufllelent for this purpose. The main question which remains Is whether or not a satisfactory source of maintenance revenues can be secured so as to prevent these roads, when constructed, from of EARTH ROADS IN CONDITION pralnags Is Chief Essential In Putting Earth Reads In Proper Shape-D- rag M'jft Da Used. It can be truthfully said that drain age Is the chief essential In putting earth roads Into proper condition. An old Scotchman, an expert road builder, aptly sold that the three requirements of good earth roads are, drainage, more drainage, and still more drainage. E. W. Lehmann of the University of Missouri college of agriculture Indorses this sentiment and adds: Ronds must not only have good surface drainage but must also have good underdrain-age- . Surface drainage Is secured by proper grading, adequate side ditches, and by keeping the crown of the rond Stretches of rond ptoperly dragged. that do not dry out quickly must he undervalued by tile. The drag must be used after each rain, If the best results are to lie secured. lhmt go on the road while too muddy, let It dry out slightly ; It should he wet enough, however, so It will not crumble, hut smenr. When properly used, the drag brings a thin layer of earth toward the center of the road which Is rolled and pneked between wet periods. If too mueh crown Is secured by dragging, the angle of the drag should he reversed. omls graded, Getting the earth ditches open, well drained, and properly crowned by dragging Is about all that can be done until the people are ready to surface the road with gravel broken stone or some other surfucltti muterlul.

Pre-ide- m a- - n i ENEVA, Switzerland, Is to be capital of the League of Nations If there Is a league of nations. It seems rather an appropriate selection. The city Is cosmopolitan and hus historical, Utertfry and philosophical traditions In keeping with the purSwitzerland pose of the league, has preserved Its neutrality In a way to be above suspicion. And finally the Swiss Confederation is in Itself a sort of League of Nations. From the practical viewpoint the city of Geneva Is attractive, not too large, and centrally located for many of the members of the league. In fact, the enthusiasts say that considering Geneva's past. Its long history full of struggles and suffering through which It won Its freedom. It weald appear that from all time this city has been predestined to become the capital of the Intangible kingdom of all free peoples, united to defend, not only their rights and liberty, but also the rights and liberty of others. The requirements for a location stipulated fifteen hundred meters along the edge of the lake, embracing large properties; a port for hydroplanes, fuclng the Alps and huving access by land and water. Within the walls of the small territorial district of Geneva, amid the country adorned with parks and decked with gardens, several estates were available to the representatives of the different nations. The parish of Genthod, about four miles out from the town, perhaps the more readily fulfills these conditions. Genthod, one of the oldest villages, was a part of the bishop of Geneva's property. Iu 1533 It became the propei y of the re-- , public and Is Inclosed In the luud that the Rernese took from the duke of Savoy. An unusually beautiful spot, looking down upon the luke from time Immemorial, It has been a chosen pluce for the Genevans. Iu the tenth century the noblemen replaced the country bouse of their forefathers by beautiful estates; gardens were luid out and planted. Two of these estates with the houses Intact, rendered all the more beautiful by the passing of time, with avenues and venerable woods, were first chosen. The Creui de Genthod belongs to the family de Saussure and the de Iourtales estate. The estate adjoining was added; It Is occupied by a large modern house called the Chateau-RougOn the other side Is the property of Navllle, the Egyptologist, temporary president of the International Red Cross, Spacious grounds that belonged to the estate of the naturalist and philosopher Charles Ronnet, were also secured. Incidentally, one of the eighteenth century houses on the Ronnet property was taken stone by stone to Geneva and scrupuCrowning this long hillock lously reconstructed. with Its gentle slopes Is a pluteuu Inclined toward the Jura mouutulns, the crest line which fills the horizon. This presents a mngnlflcent panorama for a distance of over a mile along the lake shore, and a mile and a half Inland, half of the township of Genthod, bounded on the north by the Vcrsolx river and on the south by a road and crossed by railroad and the route to the Geneva-Bern- e Lausanne. The most ancient of these estates, and the most symmetrical. Is the Creux de Genthod. It was built by Ami Lullln, theologian, professor and collector of rare manuscripts. Blondel, the great French architect, drew the plans. In 1723 he planned the gardens and park. This house became the property wf the naturalist. Horce Benedict de Saussure, who married the granddaughter of Ami Lullln. Do "Ssussures houe adjoined thnt of h' Bar-lUolo- ul e. uuelo, Charles Bonnet. De Saussure, filled with a passionate love for the high Alps, the outline of which he gazed at every day, went exploring, climbing Mont Blanc, writing h& Voyages dans les Alpes His daughter, who became Madame Necker de Saussure, grew up In this delightful atmosphere. Charles Bonnet continued to carry out his study of nature, and when he lost his sight gave up his time to philosophical problems, strengthening his scholars' belief In an after life. Duller used to come from Berne to work with him. I,eninen men and scholars came from all parts of Europe to visit them. In this way the small circle of Genthod. passionately lrrreted in selentitle culture and Christian philosophy, became a European center in direct opposition to the one at Ferney, where Voltaire derided the austereneis of Geneva and tried his best to destroy It. After the death of Charles Ronnet his property returned to the de Rive family, whieh was connect-ewith Madame de Stnel Her house Is near Genthod, and Corrinne came often on tine summer days to sit on the terrace of the philosopher and writer. The do Iourtnles house was built about 17,7) by Jean Louis Snlndtn. a diplomat of Goneva attached to the court of Louis XV, wlm ns a mark of appreciation gave him his full length portrait In oils. The de Saluilln house Is on u height and commands a wide view of the lake. It la to he seen in the renter of two broad avenues with Its simple gray front, its semicircular outbuildings, all magnificently bunted. Reyond the fields that slope gently are the trees of the Creux de Genthod, the rare species tlmt Ami I.ullln had collected at a great cost, chestnuts that were brought from Lyons In carts! Immense vistas of foliage, wonderful tree architecture Infolding the old French garden. Along the walks where the two scholars riedl-tntearound thnt house of pure lines, the meeting place of so many distinguished men. a breath of European thought seems to flout In this Genevan atmosphere, say the enthusiasts. An Intimate communion seems to unite nil these grand and simple homes to the grand old trees, the gentle distant slopes behind which appear the Alps, the long, clear stretch of lake. To all this vista, at the same time o big and so complete thnt It would seem Impossible to destroy this Incomparable harmony certainly these homes and historical grounds will remain ns they are and the new buddings will be erected Inland on the plateau Geneva Is an old, old city. Its origin lost In antiquity, but It was of sufllelent Importance In Caesar's time to be mentioned In his It was early the seat of a bishopric. It was one of the capitals of the Rurgundluns. In the sixth century It passed to the Franks. In the eleventh century It became Incorporated with the German empire. About thnt time the temporal was added to the spiritual power of the bishops.
