OLDFIELD IS NOT AFRAID
Wizard of Auto Speedway Talks Nom

MODEST OVER HIS VICTORIES
"Perhaps Some Unknown May Have
Travelled Just az Fast" He De-
clares, Discussing the
Race Track

How many accidents have you had in
your eight-year career of motor racing?'
a visitor asked Barney Oldfield.

-Four Of 'em were pretty bad"

MOTORS BOOST GOOD ROADS
Power Vehicles Started Work in New
Jersey and Accomplished Much

rover Nehtches started work In new
Jersey and Accomplished Much.
Since 1892, when a law providing that
New Jersey should pay one-third Of the
cost of the roads built by the twenty-one
counties of the state went into effect, there
has been paid out about 81, 100000 as it's share
in the Improvement of 1900 miles of high
ways
These state-improved roads are of the
broken stone type invented by John Loudon
Macadam, the Scotch engineer, and are
known commonly by the term "macadam-
lied" Their basic principle consists of the
laying of foundation OF hard rock broken
into pieces that will pass through an iron
ring two and a half inches in diameter,
over which are placed layers of smaller
stones, the whole forming q compact and
smooth mass.
So serviceable have these roads proved
until within the last several years that
New Jersey gained a reputation of pos
sessing one of the finest systems Of high
ways in the country.
With the advent of the high speed motor
car, however, it has been found that the
macadam roads tend to disintegrate and
lose their surface, largely, it is believed, by
reason of the suction exerted by the broad
automobile tires. To meet this difficulty
the state commissioner Of public roads has
made a number of experiments, the result
Of which have led him to adopt what is
termed bituminous road
This type of highway consists of the use
of the macadam base, but with a top dress
ing composed either of heavy asphaltum
OIL put on while heated to about 200 de-
grees Fahrenheit, or of tar preparation
The commissioner in his annual report,
says that this type of pavement resembles
an asphalt street; in fact, for suburban
streets and country roads it is just as
desirable. While possessing most of the
virtues, of an asphalt street. it is more
resilient and less slippery, consequently
better adapted for horse travel. 1t is as
nearly dustless as a pavement can be made
and the surface is not disturbed by the
action of an automobile passing over il"
The average additional cost of this type
of roadway over that of the macadam Is
estimated at from $1,000 to $3.50 per mile
for fourteen-foot width, the cost vary
ing according to the richness of the top
dressing, the method by which 1t Is put on
and the locality OF the road improved. AS
an offset, however, 1t Is believed that the
maintenance of these roads will cost little
or nothing during their first two years, and
after that period will not exceed $3.50 per
mile, as compared with the annual cost of
$500 for the proper up-keep OF the macadam
highway,
From this the inference has been drawn
that the bituminous road is to be the road
of the future, although 1t will require tests
of from five to six years TO JUSTIFY the
accuracy of this prediction.
