SPANISH STEEL ROAD.
Saving in the Cost of Repairs Paid
for Its Contribution In u Very
short Time.

In response to inquiries made by the
department of state. Consul Washing
ton at Valencia. Spain, has given the
following report of a steel roadway
that has been in use in that country
for seven years:
The road between Valencia and
Grao is two miles in length, and all
average of $500 vehicles pass over it
daily. Until 1872, it was constructed of
flint stone. The annual cost of keep
ingit in repair was about 81. 600 pesetas
AT the rate of exchange at that date,
this amounted to $3.50.
The construction of a steel road
way was determined on, and the an
nual cost of keeping in repair the CEN
trail zone of road thus relieved from
heavy tratlic-which proceeds over the
steel rails-is now only $500 pesetas,
or about $3.50 at the present rate Of
exchange.
"A Belgium firm received the con-
tract to furnish the steel work. hav-
ing bids less than Spanish firms at
Barcelona and Bilbao.
The length of road so built is SO
kilometers (l.9ss miles). The cost per
llilometer (o,62l37 mile) was 44,lO0
pesetas (SG.s90.).
THE total cost of the road laid was
6o,95o pesetas (S9,50o). The expense
in detail was:

Government Aid for Roads.

Representative Graham. in the house
of representatives,, and Senator Pen
rose, in the senate. have introduced
bills appropriating S5,o0O,0o0 for thu
building Of public roads in the sevcra
states of the United States, the appro
priation to be applied to each state in
proportion to the mileage of roads
within shc state. to be used exclusively
for the building of permanent roads
under the direction of the department,
of agriculture. These bills are fatheree
by the League of American Wheclmen
which has done more to forward thv
interests of bicycle riders than all th.
other organizations put together. II
is not likely that the money will be ap

COOPERATION PAYS.
Michigan Farmer Explains How One
Road in His State Was Perma-
nently Improved.

One of the disadvantages under
which our farmers are laboring is poor
roads. This being sandy country,
there is scarcely a time during any
part of the year that our roads are
good. Something like five years ago,
about % farmers came together and
offered to haul mari one day free it
the township would allow them to take
the mari from its bed. The township
was willing, and about 20 men volun-
1eered to shovel and level the mari, and
SO the first half mile was laid That
road proved such a success that the
next year another half mile was put
down. This mari packed down so hard
and made such excellent bed for gravel
that the farmers donated 1925 and la
Dor Tor about one-quarter mile Of gray
ell. This being put on in what was al
ways wet place it was spread about
eight inches thick. Next year $3.50 was
collected and about one-half mile was
put down, spreading this only about
four inches. This year only 500 was
collected, but quarter-mile strip was
put down, finishing the mile started
five years before. Besides this about
half mile Of mari was put down ready
for gravel next fall
This method of making a road is a
good one, for if the mari is once packed
down and if gravel is then added the
resulting roadbed is as hard as
! macadam. Next year the township
will try to raise $500 for gravel if the
farmers Will pledge their labor toward
fgetting it down, and now about year
before tits needed three-fourths of the
labor is promised. This shows what

THE WORST TEACHER.

That teacher was the worst we ever
tackled,
He war; so very tall. and he was light.
1t is best TO lay your eggs before you've
cackled,
Though we never had a notion he could
fight.
For he acted sort o. meechin' when he
opened up the school,
We sort of got the notion he was It-and
We tagged cool.
We gave him lots of jolly in free and
easy way,
And showed him how we handled guys as
got to actin gay.
We showed him where the other one had
torn away the door
When we ugged him out and dumped him
in the snow the year before.
And soon's we thought we had him scarf,
We sat and chawed and spit,
And kind O. thought we'd run the school
-concludin he was 1t.
1t worked along in that way, sir, till Fri
day afternoon.
We hadn't logged him out that week, but
lowed to do it soon.
That Friday, long about three O'clock he
said thered be recess,
And said: THE smaller kids and girls can
so for good, ] guess"
And he mentioned smooth and sTnily, but
With KIND o. SrecnlSn eyes,
That the big boys We're requested to re-
main for exercise.
And when he called US In again he up and
locked the door,
Shocked off his cot and weskit. took the
middle of the floor,
And talked about gymnastys in quiet lit
tie speech,
Then he made pass at Haskell, who was
nearest one in reach
Twas hot and swift and sudden, and it
took him on the jaw,
And that was all the exercise the HaskeM
fe.ler saw.
Then tumptn' over Haskell's seat he saun-
tered up the aisle,
A-httin' right and hittin' left and wearin'
that same smile.
And when Teller started up and tried to
hit him back
Twas slippecslapper. whacko-cracker
whango bango-crack!!
And never sir. in all your life. did you see
flippers whiz
In such blame chain-ightnin' style as
them ere hands of his.
And though we hit and though we lodged
or rushed by twos and threes-
He simply strolled around that room and
licked us all with ease.
And when the thing was nicely done, he
dumped us in the yard,
He clicked the paddock on the door and
passed US all a card.
And this was what was printed there;

GOOD ROADS PROBLEM.

The good roads problem, a subject of
! interest to almost every man, woman
and child in the whole country, seems
to be about to find solution in man
ner that is certainly surprising and I'M
looked for. And, as is usually the case
with such discoveries. it was accidental.
1t has been found that if road be grad

water and then have liberal applea-
ton of Oil made to it, that it will soon
pack solid and remain so, not becoming

crude petroleum, costs only four dol
lars per barrel, it is estimated that
mile of road 25 feet in width can be
treated for less than $500. Compared
with macadamizing or any other WELL
/ known method heretofore in vogue,
this cost is a mere bagatelle, and if
the oil makes and keeps the road as
good as is claimed. and lasts as long as
it is said to do, this will certainly prove
the most inexpensive way to improve
roads.
| But this is not all. Everyone knows
that a good. dry, dustless road Of earth
is far the best in every respect to drive
on. It is pleasant for he driver. better
for the vehicle and infinitely better for
the team. AS the Oil treatment has not
been extensively tried, it is not def
nitely known whether it will do we'll
on oil kinds of dirt roads, but it costs
so little to test the matter that the
road supervisors in every county ought
| to make an experiment on different
kinds of earths to find out the facts
If all is true that is claimed, this is the
greatest discovery ever made in road
making, and makes good roads posi-
bic everywhere. The application of the
Oil is merely vigorous sprinkling. and
it is therefore easy to make trial
