Possibly the lovers Of democratic
simplicity may win some comfort out
of the gowning of debutantes, which
silk, whose skirt is perfectly plain and
whose fluted bodice is edged at the
yoke with white bows of the same, may
not be called over gay, even if long rib
bon streamers do nearly sweep the
ground, caught by rhinestone buckles
near the shoulders, and even if long
string of tiny pearls hangs low from the
smooth young neck. For it is color that
counts. and the girl saw in this gown

WHAT DESTROYS STREETS,
To Carry Heavy Loads on Small-Tire
Wagons Is Almost Criminal.

10 Carry Heavy Loads on Small-Tired
Wagons Is Almost Criminal
Without doubt the heavy carting and
drayage of modern times have much to
do with the perishableness of modern
pavements. The hardest rock itself
cannot long withstand the continuous
grind OF heavy loads supported upon
narrow tires. To this foolish and de-
structive fashion of building carts and
drays designed for the transportation
OF great weights the bulk of failure
in modern payements is due. 1t must
be remembered that the celebrated
roads OF antiquity were never subject
ed to similar tests, and that the smaller
the surface called upon to sustain
great weight the less naturally will be
the resistive power offered, and the
greater will be the pressure upon the
point of contact.
If anyone will take the trouble to
ascertain the weight of an average load
whose like is hauled by hundreds
through our chief cities daily, measure
the width of the tire and then figure
the pressure per square inch to which
pavement is exposed, based upon the
fraction of circle, which touches a
straight line, we will have better idea
OF what road builders of the present
day have to contend with. This width
OF cartwheels and tires should be req.
ulated by law with a view to munich.
