Percy Boulnois, begins with some details concerning the practice ■'■ followed m constructing such roads m America, where it is estimated there must now be at least 50,000,000 square yards of them m existence. Reference is next made to what has been done m thia country, and especially to the trial of a concrete road which was begun towards the end of 1914 near Gravesend. This road has not been a success, portions ,of it becoming pitted and flaky ahd breaking up badly, and the chief causes of the failure are said to be that the concrete was too weak and was (laid down m unsuitable weather. Finally, come Tof the points that' should, be considered, m constructing a concrete road, are discussed, and a series of suggestions aie put. forward /for -a specification defining the materials to ■.. be used, the mode of preparing the existing surface, the composition and mixing of the concrete, the. methods of placing it in* -position.- apd the treatment of the surface after it, is laid and before thO'ioad. is opened to i|raffic".

Chaplain Craik, on active Service with the New Zealand troops; writes hi a most appreciative strain of the- Ypung Men's Chrisfcian Association to Mr. John Ewen, of Auckland. "The Y.M.CA. is doing glorious work," he says. "No word that I can say is adequate ,to express my sense of obligation and pride towards and m the institution.. I think I can; as truly say that this, New Zealand V.M.C.A. is second to-;, none. We have two secretaries with our brigade (Hanna and Edmonds) and they* '..are doing excellently for the men. I. know that the men appreciate tho institution, for I censor their letters, and -most of them speak- glowingly of the splendid treatment afforded them by the institution. I shall be quite pleased to allow you to make any übo of this statement (re V.M.C.A.) that you care to make of it." . A sudden Chill may, give you cold m the Head, inflamed Thxoat, or Bronchitis.

The rise ih prices, which is prevalent the world over, is felt m China (says China's Millions). To tihe mass of Chinese themselves, '■ who find it hard, even m ordinary - times, to gain a sufficiency, to supply j their bodily needs. . this. .must be' a most serious circumstances The high cost of living affects the missionary body ,ag. well. Then, too, there is the heavy loss m ' exchange whichi continues. Mr. Howell, of the treasurer's department, jn writing from Shanghai, remarks : "We often need to lift our eyes. from the cash books these days, -'and fasten them upon the Divine promises, which are unfailing. Other-" wise faith would fail. ,It was pointed ■out. to .the , friends m the Homeland; who are supporting evangelists and .Bible women, that sterling amounts which were quite adequate to .meet the. expenditure eighteen months ago, are entirely inadequate just ; no\v. It seems difficult,- for those who live . m countries where £old is the standard to realise how it is that a sovereign, which exchanged at the end of . 1915 for about 21s, produces less than ,14s now ; t aiid we ought at least to make this clear to those who desire to fully support their own special representatives."
