Find refuge in good books this spring promises hope
A Boston Globe column by Uncle Dudley extols books as shelter from loneliness and a path to learning. It lauds cheap Gort books and varied genres from travel and science to imagination, noting that discovery comes from reading and from making mistakes. The piece ends with a shout for spring and a brief crime note: burglars at Herve Hill, with the grocer’s bill already paid.

Acorns as Human Food In Pacific Coast Indians
The Pacific coast Indians from northern California to Mexico eat acorns in large quantities. Dried and pounded, they form mush and bread. Acorn melt is bleached to remove tannin and bitterness. Elsewhere in Italy acorn meat with two thirds grain is used for bread. Some philologists link flannel to Welsh origins.

Good Roads Rules For Stone Roads Drainage Emphasized
Outline of essential stone road construction rules highlights grading to 1 to 20 and 1 to 200 for flats, subdrains and cross drains, firm subgrade, layered stone with binder, rolling to set, proper crown, culverts for water, and road oil to prevent dust and wear. Emphasizes drainage and maintenance for year round usability.
Problem of good highways becomes increasing importance
The road problem grows in importance due to travel changes. City residents reach farther into the country for business and pleasure, while farmers realize better roads help them reach markets sooner and cheaper. Improved roads save time and improve market options for dairy, produce, and seasonal goods.
Concrete Highways Cut Pull and Time in Modern Roads
Concrete roads reduce the pull and shorten delivery times. Three essential points mark modern reconstruction while permanence adds value, turning cost into an investment rather than a loss.
Best for Marketing Crops through Better Roadways
Farmers could time sales for peak prices if roads stay good in all weather. The California highway commission plans about 9000000 dollars this year to improve roads. Connecting links between city business, manufacturing, and farming rely on highways. Georgia builds highways and plans 5000000 dollars in new projects.
