FROM DICK TO PATSY.
George Washington, D. C?
Dec. 25th, 191*.
Dear Patsy,?I am in the 4ty of
George Washington, and I fed that
I stand on sacred ground. Itmakes
a man feel big to walk about George
Washington and say to him?lf this ,
is OUR town. As soon as ^ iot here
a .d slicked ud a little I wtllt down
. Jtown,
and I have been goii? around
a good deal every day sin?. There 1
have been large crowds ii town ev- ,
ery day since I got here.' The people
must come in from ir-les around 1
to do their trading. I bve looked i
behind all the big buildPgs, and in j
all the vacant places I^av? seen to \
find the hitching lot the peo- \
pie hitch their horses $*en they get ]
here, but I cannot fin' it. I wanted j
to count the horses ?d buggies so s
that I could tell you/ow many there \
were here so you cpld get some s
idea of the number 'f people I have j
seen. They may hfe a place under j
the ground somewise to hitch, as e
they have all kinw0* underground ^
arrangements in fcs city. In "fact i
the train which T/ame in on runs 4
under a buildingyjvhich they gay r
cost three milliojaollars. The wea- r
ther is pretty ctfl up here and it
may be that the make them hitch
in a place like t|s to keep the horses ii
from getting cjd, but. I can't see a
what they do *th the buggies. t
George Wasljhgton is a bigger city A
man ureenwoa put w- r
gether. Theyfrave two hotels here, fi
an ice plant aid a laundry just like p
Abbeville butA? cotton mill that I ti
have seen. Ihear that they have e
some barrooBS here but from what o
they say Ijthink they ; will close n
them tip ffter Christmas. The q
Southern aid Seaboard &oth run in b
here and I Baw anothei track, and c
I guess thqrC. & W. C. ( ttnes in too. I]
The people up here do at seem to o
know manf people, and s$ry few of
them take Tne Press ai i Banner. I a
asked a barber who wai ihaving me tn
if he took it, and he said no, and all ii
the other barbers laugfed at him. C1
He had never heard of 1 ayor. Gam- p
brell' or Jack Perrin, hich made tl
them laugh again. Thepeople are w
also stuck up. I have rued my hat cl
to every lady I have sen and none 2
of them seem to care to peak to me, e]
so I got mad yesterday 4d am going g
to quit it.
I noticed all along thiroad and I d
did not see a single go* farm nor lc
a single still. We pasti through f<
some good country to tun either m
business and I am surpned that the pj
people are so slow. Tare has not li
been a bale of cotton <j the street it
since I have been hereind I have ti
looked everywhere to sqif the cot- ~
ton buyers up here loo( ; like . Jess i
Ellis and Dale Barksdal* The people
do not bring in any ,tggs and
butter nor chickens andturkeys. I
saw a man come up to front of W
the Compartment House, yiere Dr.
Harvin stays and I tioughof course
he had a turkey for ale, soi thought
I would go down aid buy; it and N
spring a surprise on them, <ut when ^
I asked him he said, 'When are you
bi
from?" When I toM kim I jras from A:
Abbeville he didn'tj i eem t> know P<
where the place is.
It seems to me th$ the leople up ni
here do not read an keep; up with
the times. And I beive tint if you ^
will get The Press ad Banner to
sena me some sampj copies ,tnat 1 *"
can get a lot of sb?ibers here for Px
it The Lord knowahey need it
I have not seen t) lady with the
watch on her ankle bee I got here
this time, though lhave walked
about a good deal lfcing for her. lej
I guess she must ha^ent the watch
to the jeweler to hi it fixed for
Christmas, or I wou have found ..
it by this time. I sa'the policeman
who picked me up ^n I fell and ~?
he laughed and spolto me, but I P?
pretended that I didot recognize ]?|
him and walked on.
They have no set-Ik colleges up
here either, and I ha not been invited
out to a singleame since I
got here. Davis Kefcould make a
fortune here, if he ^ld come up
and start a branch 4ege here. I
would be willing to r a week or
two myself to see til it got started
off right. I thin' I will look
around and see if I csfind an empty
building where he co; locate, and
if we can get him ime notion, I
think he will send yctnd me up
here on a lecturing txjnext spring.
Dr. Harvin agrees wijne that it
would pay to try it oij
I asked Dr. Harviflbout going
around to see Woodt the first
night I got l^pre, andj put me off
and I have mentionefie thing to
fttrA At> fVivoa J V ?
uuu ?mi w? wtii-w ?""?uv;c nuu lie
does not seem in anjirrj^ to go
with me to see my ?nd. There
seems to be some cofess between
them judging by the y he acts
every time I mention i matter, so
I am going down to tCapitol and
get Carpenter or Wyd Aiken to
take me up to see th^esident. I
know he would think inge of my
coming up here for t!)econd time
and going home witrn taking a
single meal with him.
I hope you boys areying a fine
time. I hear that Coti Percy will
not visit Mr. Kerr thisristmas. I
am sorry to hear this [ saw Mr.
Kerr buy a walking st to walk
around with his cousin ile he was
there. Of course he <& keep the
stick until next Christi but therfe
will be the loss of thqiterest on
the money.
Give my tenderest r^ls to Jack
Perrin, Jim Chalmers, >te Smith,
Uncle Jim "Stark, De\ and the
rest of the boys and tmber to
write to me how things with you
in my absence.

THE TAX OF POOR PAVEMENTS
ON THEIR USER
Everybody knows that more powe
is required to haul a load on a poo
pavement than on a good one. It i
only recently, however, that definit
figures of the effect of the conditio
of the pavement on its resistance t
traction have been obtained. The in
formation long desired has been fux
rushed by the Massachusetts Insti
tute of Technology, which obtaine
it by running an electric deliver;
ragon over pavements and measur
ing the amount of power requirei
it different speeds. These tests sho\
iiat it takes 20 per cent more powe:
to run at the rate of 12 miles pe:
lour no a poor asphalt pavemen
-han on a good one. On a poor
10ft bituminous macadam pavement
han on a good one. On a poor
10ft bituminous macadam pavement
t sometimes takes as much as 121
)er cent more power than is requir
td on a good pavement of that type
vhile such a pavement that is soft
iut otherwise good requires aboul
iO per cent more power than a hare
me. A poor water-bound macadam
lavement requires 60 per cent more
ower than one in good condition.
The tests show that the increase
a power made necessary by deteriortion
of pavements mounts up as
be speed of the vehicle increases.
Lfl WAof MAfyiV ***** of +ho
ate of at least 15 miles an hour the
gures given may be considered aproximately
true of average condiioias.
They are particularly intersting
as enabling the automobile
wner to estimate what good pavelents
are woth to him. It is usually
stimated that the average automoile
runs 5,000 miles a year and
onsumes 500 gallons of gasoline,
f 1,000 miles are made on bituminas
roads and half of such roads are
i poor condition, and 4,000 miles
?e made on macadam roads of which
vo-thirds are in poor condition, and
! it is further assumed that the poor
baracter of the roads increases the
ower requirements by 50 per cent,
len about 120 gallons of gasoline
ere used on account Nof the poor
fiaracter of these pavements. At
1 cents a gallon this means an avrnira
nnnnnl fav nf aKnnf tOK
asoline to pay for poor roads.
The case is different with horserawn
vehicles, for with them the
iss is not measured in extra feed
)r the horses, but in the slow speed
laintained by such vehicles on poor
Elements. In other words, the loss
es in the reduced amount of work
is possible to perform Under praccal
conditions. *

>r As a result of highways improve

is uncommon to ride comfortably ove
e good roads for many miles and thei

~ cases the cost of the improvement

Sioux City, a number of road disss
tricts were formed within its limits.
The work was financed by first determining
the proportion of the tot
tal cost of each road which the city
r as a whole should pay; thfoproportion
ranged from 32.8 to 49.35 per
cent. The remainder of the cost in
3 each district was then distributed
b over all of the nronertv within it
i some of the property being laid oat
j in lots and other parts being typical
s Iowa fanning lands. The distribuX
tion of the expense was first made
I by estimating that the lots and the
3 farm lands abutting on the road and
? most directly benefited should be
i ranked as paying a 100 per cent ass
sessment. Lots and farms at a great*
er distance paid a reduced a*sessi
ment and in this way it proved prac?
ticable to raise the money in an
> equitable manner rather than by
r assessing the whole cost against the
I abutting property in the old way,
I which would have been impossible to

l Under this system farm land carryl
ing a 100 per cent assessment, paid
