HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA. GOOD HIGHWAYS Highway Surface Tester Keeps Record of Bumps A manufacturer of road machinery has recently perfected an ingenious recording instrument to measure in equalities in highway pavement sur face. This instrument Is divided so that It may be mounted at the side of an automobile dashboard as shown In the illustration, and is intended to record variance In surface by the mnrkings of pencils upon a rolled chart ftd through the tiny machine. All Inequalities In the surface of the pavement passed over by either of the front wheels are recorded. This Road Surface Tester. Is reduced to a horizontal scale where by 1 inch equals 50 feet, and a verti cal scale where % Inch equals 1 inch. Irregularity in either line outward in dicates a depression. Irregularity of the line inward indicates a hump. The roll of paper constituting the chart is sufficient to record inequali ties in ten miles of road surface for the guidance of road maintenance officials. Federal-Aid System of Highways in 34 States (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Roads that will comprise the fed eral-aid system of highways have been definitely designated in 34 states, according to the bureau of public roads of the United States De partment of Agriculture.

Indications are that over 90 per cent of the entire population of the United States will live within ten miles of a federal-aid highway. In a number of states the figure is as high as 98 per cent, and in none of the states will It drop below 65 per cent.

P. B. FITZWATER. D. D., Teacher of English Bible In the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright. Hit. WMUtu Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 2 PAUL, THE APOSTLE LESSON TEXT—Acts 22:3, 6-10; Pht llppians 3:4-14. GOLDEN TEXT—“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”—Phil. 3:14. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Romans 1:9-17; 15:15-21; II Cor. 11:1-12. PRIMARY TOPIC—How Paul Be came a Christian. JUNIOR TOPIC—PauI the Mission ary. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC —Paul the Dauntless. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Paul’s Contribution to Christianity. Paul’s name stands second to none In the annals of history. The story of his life is of perennial interest. I. His Birth, (v. 3 cf. Phil. 3:17). lie was born in Tarsus of pure He brew stock. He could with legitimate pride boast of godly ancestry. It is highly important that each generation should so live that no handicaps be placed upon their children. 11. His Home Training. (3:5). His parents were pious people and carefully reared him according to Jew ish standards. Most religious leaders spring out of such homes; for example, Moses, Samuel, Timothy. Stern prin ciples of Integrity were Inculcated in him thus giving him strength of char acter to impress the world. He was strongly attached to the peculiarities of the Jewish religion. The heroes which molded his life were such men as Joseph, Moses, David, Isaiah instead of Achilles, Hercules and Ulysses. 111. His Education. (Acts 2:3). 1 — His Patriotism. He was brought up to love his nation. He proudly af firmed, “I am a Jew." Paul was a nationalist of the true type. Children should be taught to love their nation. 2 A Love for the Bible. The Scrip tures were to him the very Word of God. What was found written therein was the final word for Him. Loss of love for the Bible and implicit faith therein is a tragedy. 3 Zealous for God. (Acts 22:3). The word zealous literally means “to boil.” Zeal without knowledge is bet ter than no zeal at all. 4 Conscientious. His supreme aim was to possess a conscience void of offense. Conformity to the dictates of conscience is demanded. It is the law of life for every man that because of the blight of sin the conscience needs to be taught by God’s Word. 5He Had a Trade. Every Jewish boy, regardless of his father’s wealth, was taught a trade. It was a saying among them that, “He who failed to teach ids son a trade, taught him to steal.” This would be a good plan in our modern days. IV. His Conversion. (Acts 22 :6-10). 1 — On the Way to Damascus, (v. 6). He was the enemy of Christ and was on his way to Damascus authorized to bring bound such Christians as might be found to Jerusalem to be punished. While on this journey he had time for reflection and conscience began to work. 2 A Light from Heaven, (vv. 8-9). As this light burned through the sky over him, he fell to the ground humil iated. Accompanying the light was a voice saying. “Saul, why persecutest thou me?” Upon inquiry as to who was speaking, the Lord declared that It was Jesus of Nazaretli whom he was persecuting. 3An Hpnest Inquiry, (v. 10). He was willing to do what the Lord willed, 60 he was instructed to go to Damascus where fuller light would be given. V. His Estimate of Christ. (Phil, 3:7-9). When he came to know Christ, he counted all but loss in comparison with Him. He saw Christ as the supplier of righteousness. He who has Christ and Ills righteousness has everything worth while. VI. His Transcendent Aim. (Phil. 3:10-14). 1— His aim was to know the power of Christ’s resurrection, even that he might be made conformable to His death and have fellowship in His suf ferings. 2He desired to attain unto the resurrection of the deud. This refers to the first resurrection in which the believers shnll come forth from among the wicked dead. B—He8 —He pressed toward the mark. He did not count that he had yet attained. He depreciated his present attain ments, perceived the dignity of his calling and pressed forward with all his strength in order that he might win the prize. The conditions which de termine growth are first, a decided dls jatisfaction with present attainments; second, perception of the height of Iruth, and third, a resolute determina tion to attain at whatever cost.

One night I was going to the barn to look after some new-born pigs. Without taking a lantern, I entered the bam by going behind the cattle, which were tied, so I thought I could get around them in the dark. Being long-legged, I stepped astride a year ling calf which was running loose be hind the cows just as she was getting up. Well, she lifted me off my feet and pitched me down between two cows, one of which planted a foot in my vest pocket, the other finding loca tion along my vertebrae.

An adaptation of the pantograph to the oxyacetylene flame Is one of the latest efforts to control mechanically that powerful agent for cutting cold metal. According to the ’Scientific American, the pantograph has an elec trically driven wheel that follows the pattern and both advances the cutting flame at a given rate, depending on the thickness of the metal, and guides the flame accurately either in straight or in curved lines.
