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.
A story of the system in the 34
states now approved shows some in
teresting facts. Nearly every city of
over 5,000 population is located upon
it, and the few that are not will con
nect with It over Improved roads.
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.
The following tabulation shows the
mileage In the system by states, esti
mates being given for those states
whose systems are not yet approved:

IMPROVED UNIfORM INTERNATIONA!,
Sunday School
' Lesson '
(By REV. 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.

Surely City Friends Are Wrong.
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. Yet, our city
friends say there are no thrills on the
farm. —Chicago Journal.
Oxyacetylene Pantograph.
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.
