liz the present condition of the de-
velopment of road building the best
known type of construction in the
gravel road country would be the plac-
ing of crushed stone top layer on the
road, leaving the old gravel to provide
the bottom course. The old road
should be graded to conform TO the de-
sired cross section for the new road.
Mudholes should be cleaned out and
flied with gravel. The surface should
be rolled and watched to produce a
solid foundation. The macadam top

funds for such construction are avail

Throughout the central and north
western parts of the state, occupying
between one-third and one-half of its
area, limestone furnishes the most
easily obtained road building material.

this type of road was described by the

TO TEACH ROAD BUILDING.
Colleges In Three States Establish
Chairs Of Good Roads.

GHdlrS Of GOOQ nOdOSs
The board of directors of the Texas
Agricultural and Mechanical college
has decided to establish a chair Of good
roads. The state of Washington and
the state OF Virginia have done the
same. The Little Rock (Ark) Gazette,
nothing this. hopes that. the next Ar
kansas legislature will do the same
thing.
IF we had all over this state men
who have been taught to build roads
we should soon have better roads," it
says. Some of the graduates in road
building would devote themselves to
the engineering profession Of highway
construction and maintenance.
Others. in various lines of business
and especially in farming. would be
useful to their communities in the mat
ter Of highways How fortunate, for
instance. would township be to have
for road overseer a graduate in road
building!"

SHE SHUT HER EYES.
True TO Her Principles, She Determined
Not to See.

Mrs. Storey's life had been
haunted for years by the fear that.
some day she might be called upon
to serve as a witness in court. Her
grandmother was a witness once,
and when Mrs. Storey was little
girl she used to hear all about it.
Grandma, it appears, had been SO
scared she couldn't tell the judge
her own name.
@And,. said Mrs. Storey to her
husband, eff there is anything
more disgraceful than to be I'M
able to tell your own name I'D like
to know what it is.
In order to reduce the possibili-
ty of such a calamity to minimum
Mrs. Storey would walk on with
deafened ears and averted head
whenever she happened to be near
fire, fight or the scene of an ac-
cident. Only the other day she had
occasion to shut her eyes and ears
to the seething crowd around her.
She was waiting in the Grand Cen
trail station for Mr.. Storey, who
had gone around to the baggage
room to check a trunk.
Presently she became aware that
something exciting was happening
close beside her. Hastily she shut
her eyes and stuck her fingers into
her ears, but before those protec-
tive measures could be accomplish
| ed she learned that female thief
had snatched hand bag which she
had found lying on the floor and
was being pursued by an excited
crowd. Not being entirely devoid
Of the curiosity of her sex, Mrs.
Storey would have liked to know
more, but the old fear Of being de-
tanned as a witness held her inert

she ventured to ask if they had
caught the thief. 1888

RURAL ROUTES AND ROADS.

Postal Department Has Become Strong
Agency of Highway Improvement.
The marvellous development of the
rural mail service shows how greatly
the people prize this daily blessing and
indicates that they would be extreme
" reluctant to give it up or be de-
prived of it for any cause. This being
so. the postal department has in its
power to become q stronger agency
for highway Improvement.
There are certainly few communities
that would give up their mail service
rather than improve their roads. and
II the department should see fit to put
1t up to the people where the roads
are bad. give them the choice Of max
ing better roads or doing without mail.
it seems that they would. In common
parlance. get busy" The department
has sent out number Of bulletins
containing a warning. and these are
said to have been partially effective.
Part OF the last bulletin issued to post
masters contained this:
'You are directed to inform yourself
with reference to the condition OF
roads and bridges on the rural routes
out Of your Office, and If you finds that
they require improvements you should
present the matter In the strongest and
most positive way to the patrons and
road officials, informing them that i'm
provements must be made as soon as
practicable. If, after a reasonable
time has elapsed, the improvements
have not been made or started, you
will report the fact to this Office in or
der that action may be taken looking
to the discontinuance of the service.
"The department is not Immediately
concerned in elaborate road improve
ments, but In the interest Of the best
service to the largest number Of pa
irons 1t must insist upon roads being
kept in good repair, the lack Of which
is usually due to improper drainage

During the meeting Of the Ohio En-

Road building is largely local

to build is that which viii make the
best use of the material at hand to
produce satisfactory road surface
and at an expense not exceeding the
money available.
In the earliest extensive road i'm
provements in Ohio the problem was
solved by using gravel for the wearing
surface, and this early work was prac-
tically confined to the region where an
abundance of gravel could be found.
This region was principally in the cen
trail and southern part OF the west half
Of the state and embraced about one
third of its area. | have known of
some instances where gravel was

was too expensive. considering the
type of construction. and the practice
was never extensive. A large amount
OF this work was built. probably fif-
teen or twenty thousand miles.
At the time OF their construction
these roads were undoubtedly the
proper type, as the cost of the work
came within the means OF the farmers
who paid for them. These roads In
the best form of their construction,
when new and in good repair, pro
vided an admirable surface for public
travel. and at present there are many
of them which can hardly be excelled
by the more modern construction
The majority of these roads present
in their present condition one Of the
most important problems of today's
road work. On account of lack OF suf-
f1cient repairs large part of the mile
age is practically worn out. Owing to
the exhaustion of the gravel supply In
a considerable part of this territory
the resurfacing of many Of these roads
has been done with crushed stone, and
