HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, MeDONOUGH. GEORGIA.
IMPROVED
ROADS
Scientific Adjustment
of Highways Is Needed
Often it is thought that heavy vehi
cles, carrying heavy loads, are respon
sible for the deplorable condition of
some of our highways. We have seen
photographic and other proof of the
wrecking of roads, indicating that
these roads had been blown up from
beneath the surface. We have seen the
calamitous condition of pavements
smashed by pressure of some kind.
What is the answer?
In the fall we find some roads ap
pearing to be models of durability. In
the spring they are wrecks* Mean
while heavy trucks had been driven
over them. Could there be a superfi
cially plainer case of cause and ef
fect?
On some stretches of the very road
where the collapse of the pavements
Is most discouraging nothing goes
wrong. There the trucks do not crush
the concrete or buckle the brick pave
ments. The loads are precisely the
same that are hauled over the other
stretches of the road. The same
wheels of the same vehicles roll over
sections that stand up under the test
that roll over the strips that give
away.
What, then, is responsible?
Is it the weight of the Joads or Is
It the manner in which the road was
constructed? Is it the way the build
ers failed to adapt their work to the
conditions they had to deal with?
Matters* of soil and drainage, ma
terials and construction methods were
not given proper attention.
When one road along a sandy ridge,
with good natural drainage, comes
through a hard winter scarcely the
worse for wear at any point, and an
other road in the same district and
the same climate, carrying the same
traffic, with the same truckloads, but
with spots where the subsoil is wet
and there is no natural drainage, Is
found in a state of collapse after the
frost comes out of the ground, what
is the logical conclusion? Is it lighter
roads or closer attention to drainage
and other important features entering
Into the construction of our highways?
Isn’t the remedy to be sought in the
more scientific adjustment of the
highways to the natural changes in
the direction of larger vehicle units
and more economical transportation
on the public roads?
The question is vital to the solution
of the whole problem of county high
ways, their construction and mainte
nance. It Is of Immense importance
to all producers and consumers. It is
a basic transportation problem for
America’s millions of people who want
to do the sensible thing and the right
thing by all interested.
One of the gratifying evidences of
appreciation of the value of truck
transportation throughout the country
is the determination of responsible au
thorities to have real highways, not
merely makeshifts. They have profit
ed by experience and realize that to
meet the transportation conditions the
highways must be constructed accord
ingly.

the farm produce to block the traffic.
S. D. Holderman. near Morris, 111.,
not wishing to either discontinue his
profitable business, or to be the cause
of a traffic jam, had this concrete car
stand built with the permission of the
state highway authorities.
Smoothness in New Road
Is Important Requisite
It is now realized that smoothness
in the new road is one of the requi
sites to insure continuous good sur
face. If the road contractor turns over
a road that shows rolls to the slightest
degree these rolls mean the ultimate
destruction of the road, for they fur
nish the means for starting the pound
ing of the heavy motortruck wheels,
which eventually break up the surface

JOHN THE APOSTLE
LESSON TEXT—Luke 9:49-56; John
19:25-27; I John 4:7. 8.
GOLDEN TEXT—“God is love; and
he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in
God. and God In him.”—l John 4:16.
REFERENCE MATERIAL Mark

PRIMARY TOPIC—The Disciple
Whom Jesus Loved.
JUNIOR TOPIC—John, the Beloved
Jiisciple.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—John, the Bosom Friend of Jesus.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—A Character Study of John.
I. His Intolerance of Irregular Serv
ice (Luke 9:49,50).
John was conscientious in his intol
erance of this disciple. There seems
to have been no question but what the
man was really casting out devils,
even though he did not possess the
same credentials as the twelve apos
tles. There seems to have been no
question as to the reality of the truth
which this disciple taught oh the work
he did. The samq spirit has been man
ifested all through the Christian cen
turies. Whoever witnesses truly of
Christ and does His work has God’s
recognition. Christ rebuked John’s in
tolerance and declared that “he that
is not against us is for us.” May we
everywhere show the same considera
tion to those who are doing the Lord’s
work even though they are not mem
bers of our particular church.
11. John's Righteous Indignation
(Luke 9:51-56).
1. Jesus’ Face Set Toward Jerusa
lem (vv. 51-53). He knew what was
before Him. He knew the awful fate
awaiting Him at Jerusalem. Even
though the dark shadow of the cross
hung across his path He resolutely
nerved Himself for the ordeal. The
cross was no accident. The supreme
purpose of His coming was to save
the world through His sacrificial
death. This was in the plan of God
from all eternity. The cross is the
grand center of the Christian religion.
Everyone who follows Jesus must take
up his cross.
2. The Inhospitable Samaritans (v.
53). The Lord was to pass through
that city on His way to Jerusalem.
When the people discerned that His
face was set for Jerusalem they re
fused hospitality to Him. This insult
to the Lord so aroused the anger of
John and James that they desired to
call down fire from heaven to destroy
the Samaritans. It was John’s love for
his Lord that prompted this sugges
tion. Christ rebuked him and cor
rected his spirit, but He knew that it
proceeded from a heart, of love. Love
will brook no insult to its object.
Mistaken love has done much harm In
the church. The pages of history are
red with the blood of heretics, to the
everlasting shame of the persecutors.
Persecution is not. the way to deal
with those who differ with us. The
spirit is not only wrong, but It is fu
tile, for the blood of the martyrs has
always become the seed of the church.
May Christ’s rebuke to John take from
our hearts the spirit of intolerance
and revenge. Jesus came not to de
stroy UiOli, out tu 'Sa v e LlicVii. " ’’ "
111. John’s Care of Christ's Mother
(John 19:25-27).
1. Jesus Saw His Mother (v. 26).
Perhaps His physical suffering had so
dimmed His vision that He had not
seen her before. But even His death
agonies did not cause Him to forget
her. While engaged in the redemption
of the world, He displayed His tender
human interest in this beautiful act.
The cross is the center from which
love flows.
2. John Took Mary to His Own
Home (v. 27). The same John who
wished to call down fire upon the in
hospitable Samaritans now was en
gaged in the tenderest act of human
affection. He was caring for the
mother of his Lord. The reason Jesus
entrusted her to John was that He
knew his real heart of love. He knew
that John’s experience was such that
he could enter into full sympathy with
her in her great sorrow.
IV. Test of Divine Birth (I John
4:7,8).
John’s experiences in life were such
that now near the close of his life he
declared that the supreme test of fel
lowship in the divine life is love. Love
is the bond of perfection—the cord
that binds all virtues into one harmon
ious bundle. All the fruits of the
Christian life spring out of this root.
God is love. All that is good and
beautiful in our lives is but the very
iife of God flowing through us.
So With All Men.
All men think all mortal but them
selves. —Young.
Baby Ceased to
Fret After He
Had Teetb.ina
“When my baby began to cut his
teeth he was so fretful and feverish
I couldn’t do a thing with him. It
took all my time to nurse him and
I couldn’t look after my housework,”
writes Mrs. Annie Reeves, Route 31,
Roswell, Ga., “but as soon as I began
giving him Teethina he stopped fret
ting and has given me little trouble
since.”
Teethina is far superior to sooth
ing syrups and similar preparations
for quieting a fretful child. It con
tains no opiates and is therefore per
fectly harmless. Weak, sickly chil
dren thrive on it and doctors recom
mend It.
Teethina can be had at any drug
store or send 30c to the Moffett Lab
oratories, Columbus, Ga., and receive
a large package and a free copy of
Moffett’s Illustrated Baby Book. —(Ad-
