HEADING
FOR The EAST

Chicago, Dec. 10. - Packie McFar-
land, accompanied by his representa-
tive, Emil Thirty, departed Saturday
for New York to fulfill his engagement
to box Abe Attell, featherweight cham
pion of the world, ten rounds either
Dec. 20 or % and before either the,
Fairmount Athletic club conducted by
Billy Gibson, or the National Sporting
club. which is handled by the veteran
Tom O'Rourke.
The stockyards lightweight prefers
to make good his promise to Gibson,
but to friends who babe him farewell
Packie asserted he would positively
appear in one of the two arenas and
would outpoint the little Hebrew.
Mcfarland has been training stead
lily for several days, rounding into
shape FOR this mill, and was greatly
agitated when informed. that the rival
matchmakers in Gotham were quib-
bling over the bout. Then, too, the
little railroad expedition down to Man
haitian isn't going to cost Mac" or his
trainer a solitary sou, inasmuch as
the pair had received $500 advance
coin from each Of the promoters.
Hence Packie hopes to have everything
properly adjusted shortly after his ar
rival on Broadway this morning.
II don't understand this nix-up,'
said Packie while waiting for his train
Saturday. 81 prefer lighting to Ling
idle, and IL Attell insists on kicking
over the traces. I'll tell Gibson to go
ahead and pit me against some other
attraction on Dec. 20. Undoubtedly
Attell has been offered more money for
his end to appear before O'Rourke's
club, but that doesn't concern me.
1T means much to me--rthe outcome
of this bout with Attell, and am es-
pecially anxious to get shot at him.

He has come to the conclusion

ATKINSON At THE
GOOD ROADS Meet

State Engineer Atkinson has re-
turned from the national convention
of the American Roadmakers' assoc
citation at Indianapolis, and is highly
enthused over the results of the meer
ing. The foremost men Of the counting
engaged in highway construction were
present. F'orty-two states sent dele-
gates and delegates were also present
from four Canadian provinces and one
from far off Alaska.
The interest shown in the subject
of good roads throughout the entire
country was very marked and the
papers and discussions on the con-
struction and maintenance of earth
roads and paved streets were listened
to with intense interest. The con-;
struction of culverts and bridges was
ably discussed by A. n. Johnson, state
highway engineer of Illinois and w. 8.
Grashart, state engineer OF Kansas. v
One of the most interesting topics
discussed was the construction of biz
tumous macadam of which there are.
being constructed many miles through
out the northern and eastern states.
Harold Parker, chairman of the Mas
sachusetts highway commission, ably
presented the advantages of using this
paving. and advises its use for bouIa-
wards and streets OF medium traffic
throughout the country.
Bituminous macadam construction
consists Of layer of four inches OF
coarse, broken stone or gravel, thor
oughly rolled, and compacked, and a
layer of two and one-half inches OF
finer gravel or broken stone is then
placed and with the top layer is added
hot aspheltic or tar, binding the
material which thoroughly binds the
gravel together. Sand is then sprink-
led over the top to absorb any surplus
tar, and when 1t cools and hardens
noiseless clean and sanitary pave
ment is secured which Is moisture
proof and easy to maintain. This paw
ing can be constructed for from one
half to one-third of the cost OF Wit
rified brick or creasoted wood blocks.
The state engineer believes that
for the streets OF our cities in the state
that this class of pavement construc-
tioR is well worth considering and
its adoption would lead to the CON-
struction OF may more miles OF paye-S
ment than would result IL we were to-
wait until we could afford the more
expensive brick or creasoted block
Wayne county, Michigan, has layed
nearly forty miles OF concrete pave~
ment within the past two years which
cost almost the same as the bitu-
minous pavement and which is giving
very good satisfaction.
