CARE OF PAVEMENTS.
Heavy Loads on Narrow Tires Destruc-
tive to Streets.
From the Asphalt Journal.

From the Asphalt Journal.
Properly cared for. a good pavement
should last for many years, and the real
economy in work Of this character is to
build nothing but good, substantial pave
ments at the start, and then see to it that
they are protected from abuse and misuse
1t is becoming generally recognized that the
most attractive and satisfactory pavement
for all ordinary purposes is the modern, up
to-date asphalt pavement, some of which
has already been laid in this city, with the
prospect that another considerable stretch
of 1t will be completed during the present
season. The old theory that asphalt is not
we'll adapted for standing the wear and
tear of heavy teams is gradually being dis
carded. and the claim is now accepted that
good asphalt pavement, laid on sub
stantial foundation, will stand fully as much
strain as any other kind of pavement pro-
ytded care is taken to insist on wide tires
for heavy loads. 1t is in accordance with
this theory that the city of Chicago is plan
ming to pave all of it's downtown st, Gets
with asphalt, which is far more noiseless
than brick, block or cobblestone.
1t is fact that is well understood, how
ever. that the use of narrow tires for heavy
loads Is terribly destructive to any kind of
tenance of good country roads, and there
is, therefore, a general tendency to require
by law that all wagons and other vehicles
used in transporting heavy loads shall be
equipped with tires of specified width. A
list of the leading cities of the country
shows that most of them have ordinances
which require a minimum of one inch to
the ton for actual loads, while in many of
them the specified width Of tires is still
greater. With the growing use of asphalt
pavements. however. there is general ten
dency to require all wagons that are used
to convey ordinary loads to have tires not
less than three inches In width, While in
the cases of extra heavy loads the tires
must be still wider. In this city there is an
ordinance which requires tires three inches
in width for all loads Of 5000 pounds or
over. but this should be supplemented by
further requirement that extra heavy loads,
such as coal, stone, machinery. etc. should
have tires four or five inches wide, accord
ing to the particular needs.

TRAITS OF SMOKERS.
Mans Character illustrated by His
Manner of Holding His Cigar

According to mans manner of smoking
you shall know him." said the cigar man
al the New Willard to Star man today.
Let him gnaw at the end of his cigar
and roll 1t between his lips and you may
depend he is cynical, likely to look always
on the wrong side of human nature and not
to trust any one completely.
THE man who smokes with his cigar
tilted upward has the traits that make for
to triumph over interference with his
wishes.
1.-The smoker who regards his cigar jeal
ously and will smoke it up almost to the
point of charring his mustache or burning
his nose is a tactician, schemng. self-seek-
ing, and with an intense desire for power.
THE cigar tilted toward the chin de-
notes the day dreamer, the person who may
have ideals and ambitions, but seldom the
pra cticality to carry them out
1.-The cigar held steadily and horizontally
indicates a callous, calculating nature.
strong traits, but poor principles, the sort
of man who could be brutal with indiffer-
ence should occasion arise.
Men who let their cigars go out and
then try to relight them, also those, who.
after smoking for a while let the cigars go
out and throw them away, are likely 10 be
irrational and without the capacity to put
their powers to use.
men with quick, vivacious tempers hard
ly touch the tip of their cigars with their
teeth, and after taking two or three whlifS
will remove it and hold it in their hands
in absent minded fashion. They are men
who change their opinions and ambitions
often, and require the spur of novelty or
necessity to make them exert their best
powers
1.-The man who, after lighting his cigar.
holds it not only between his teeth, but
with two or three fingers of his left hand
is fastidious, and possessed of much per-
sonal pride.
The smoker who sends forth smoke from
Of, in, III fy.arlf
puffs is hard to get along with, though he
may have good mental faculties.
1.-The spendthrift, sometimes the adven-
turer is declared by the act of biting off
the end of a cigar. Lack of judgment, dis
like to pay debts and not overniceness OF
habit are declared by this practice.
1.-The pipe smoker who grips his pipe so
firmly between his teeth that marks are
left on the mouth piece. is mettlesome, of
quick nervous temper and likely to be tena-
cious of his opinions one way or another
1.-THE man who fills his pipe hastily. hap
hazard fashion, and emits irregular puifs is
of incautious, generous impulses, the sort
of a man who is a good comrade and has
powers of entertaining, but whose friend
shin is not likely to be lasting.
.eThe man who fills his pipe slowly and
methodically and smokes mechanically and
regularly is likely to be reserved, prudent
and a good dependable friend, while not or
