Automobiles have ruined so many
macadamized roads that an interna-
tional congress has been called to
meet in Paris on October IL to con-
slider plans for saving the roads. The
macadam road, as everyone knows, is
composed Of layers of crushed stone
held together by binding material
rolled into the surface. This method
of paving was devised for the use of
iron-tired vehicles. AS the iron-bound
wheels roll over the road they crush
the small stones, and the dust Sits
into the crevices between the larger
stones and binds them more tightly
together. With judicious use, such a
road improves with age. The automo.
bile, however, runs on an air-filled rub
Der tire. This tire, instead of crushing
the small stones, sucks the dust out
from between the large stones, and the
wind blows 1t away, leaving the road.
bed rough and uneven. Road experts
on both sides OF the ocean have been
seeking for some surface dressing
that will seal the road when once
made so tightly that the rubber tire
cannot draw out the binder by sue
ton. Oils with asphaltic bases, coal
tar preparations and calcium Chord
have been used with some success in
allaying the dust and preventing the
wear OF the roads, but they are not
wholly satisfactory either here or In
Europe.
