TrUo, a tow sales might bo mado by advertis ing an absolutely worthless artlclo but It Is only tho artlclo that Is bought again and again that pays. An oxamplo of tho big success ot a worthy artlclo Is tho enormous salo that has grown up for Cascarots Candy Cathartic. This wondorful roc ord Is tho result of great merit suc cessfully mado known through per sistent advertising and tho mouth-to-mouth recommendation given Cas carots by its friends and users.

BENEFICENT THE photograph roproduccd nbovo bIiowb ono phaso of tho work that Is bolng couductod undor tho auspices of tho Crippled Children's Driving Society of Now York. During tho summer tho membors of tho organization thoso being for tho most part society' womon visit hospital and institutions for crippled Uttlo onos and tnko tho latter driving. About 18 months ago it was suggested that tho ministrations of tho socioty bo extended into tho winter. Tho interest was enlisted of Mrs. Parsons, whoso work In connection wlUi public school farm plots Is well known to tho public, with tho result that n portion of Do Witt Clinton pnrk was mado roady for tho rccop tlon of tho unfortunato children. A board floor, a capacious wind-break, a Bupply of enmp chairs and tables con stituted tho chlof features of theso preparations, tho Idea of Mrs. Parsons being that freedom from uncomfortable draughts, unobstructed sunshlno and skies and a sight of moving clouds were valuablo factors In tho curntlvo and educational Influences of the enterprise. Thcro nro 24 children ori tho winter roll of tho society, ranging from four to fourteen years of age. Theso aro fitted out with garments that cnublo thom to "keep tho Hold" In all weathers. Tho boys retain tholr shirts, trousers,, shoes and stockings; tho girls tnko off their dresses. Then they aro holped Into a sleeping bag, tho lower ond of which Is thickly stuffed with hay. .Outsldo tho bag aro two blankets, so nrranged that they can bo buckled around tho body up to tho neck. Tho oxtorlor of tho bag Is next drawn up to and buttoned around the nock. Then a heavy lambs-wool llnod coat with n fur collar and wristlots of tho samo material Is donned, and, together with a knlttod cap that can bo drawn down ovor tho cars, enables tho youngster to defy tho coldest weather. So clad, tho children eat, sloop and attend school In the open air all tho winter. In tho photograph tho lady to the left Is Mrs. Parsons. ASPHALT IS London Engineer Recommends It for Macadam Roads. Points Puts Its Advantages Over Coat Tar Spraying and Resists Weath- lo More Durable and Economical. London. Cecil Nathan, an engineer who glvos especial attention to road making, expresses tho belief that Cu ban asphalt 1b destined to tako tho placo of tar as a binder of macadam roads. Ho defines tho "essential de siderata" of a satisfactory road aB "smooth appearanco and evon surfaco following tho camber of tho road, which must bo sanitary, dustloss, noiseless and nonsllppcry." Mr. Na than also stipulates that the ideal road must not only havo thoso quali ties, but bo rcasonablo In Initial cost and nbovo all in maintenance. Many of tho present generation will remember tho phrase, 'Eloctriclty is only In Its Infancy,' " says Mr. Nathan. "Well, today tho road board Is In ljts Infancy, and I havo no doubt that It will grow into as lino and healthy a child as electricity did. Lllto othor In fants, tho road board 1b just beginning to speak, and tho first word that It has been taught, Is tar.' Now I hopo It will very soon grow up and learn wordB of two syllables, such as 'asphalt,' and thon be ablo to expound to road englnoors tho roal meaning of this much misunderstood word. "This is tho tar ago, and, as an In different palliative, tar is serving its purpose today as a temporary expedi ent; but something much moro perma nent than tho prlmltlvo methods of tar Bpraylng or even tar macadam Is required for tho futuro, and I maintain that permanency will be obtalnod only from tho adoption as watorproof road crust binders ot either Lake Trinidad asphalt or Cuban asphalt, but prefer ably Cuban asphalt, owing to Its hav ing a higher molting point and its ability to withstand tho rotting effects of water. "Although this country may con gratulate itsolf on bolng ahead of the continont In tho matter of roads, It still has a good deal to learn from America, where asphaltum baso oils aro used on a very largo scalo with good rosults as a palliative for spray ing on roads In prctorenco to crude or roflned tar, such as Is In genoral uso hero. "Furthormoro, in America nBphal tumB aro now nearly alwayB employod as binders In constructing macadam roads, and naturally this has thorough ly demonstrated and proved tbat ns phaltums aro far moro econdmlcul for this purpose. Such roads, oven on stcoplsh gradients, provldo a surfaco which affords a good foothold for horses and prevents motor skidding also, owing to tho nature of tho bin der, such roads remain qulot, elastlo and resilient undor all oxtromos of temperature and undor tho most try ing mixed traffic conditions. "Very Uttlo reflection 1b necossary to convlnco even a layman In road matters that coal tar varies too much In quality and Is, per sc, far too sus coptlblo to tho changes of cllmnto and tomporaturo to bo of any real perma nent sorvlco as a road binder. Not only does it soften tho macadam in WORK FOR CRIPPLED tDUCflTIOH IN THE QPJlZ IN FAVOR summer, but also makes It brlttlo and crack In winter, so that tar-bound ma cadam' roads cannot bo cxpocted nnd aro not likely In thoso clrcumstnncos to withstand tho BtralnB to which they aro subjected by fast and heavy mo tor traffic for any period ot rcasonablo length. "Again, tarrod macadhm Is by no means dustloss, and tho question has recently been raised ns to whothori tho dust from roads, whon treated with tar, Is injurious to tho eyos, but ns tarred dust, like ordinary dust, can produco only a mechanical Irritation upon tho mucous mombrnno of tho eye, and In view of tho fact that tho dust from a tarrod road Is nnturally considerably less than from a road not so treated, It Is therefore obvious that tarring roads la likely to tend to di minish tho chanco of Injury to tho oyes. "Climatic conditions havo so Impor tant a bearing upon tho llfo of roads It Is no exaggeration to say that at least 50 per corjt. of tho wonr of water-bound macadam roads Is duo to weather that, knowing this, nnd ad mitting that macadam Is tho right ma terial for tho construction of main country rondo, It Is necessary only for tho road engineer to con3ldor tho best mntorlal to employ as a watorproof blndor capable of withstanding climatic conditions for binding tho crust of such macadam roads bo as to mako each picco ot stono ndhero to its noighbor nnd at tho samo time be ablo to withstand any tendency toward disintegration, tho ideal blndor for tbls purpose bolng Cuban asphalt."

Deforo tho Morrltt joint legislative cdmmlttec tho other day, Firo Marshal William Beors tes tified that tho problem of flro preven tion Is as Important as any that con fronts tho country.
