a mixture of sand. gravel and clay

The road is located and graded i'll

shaped with road machine and
Slightly crowned in the center, after
which Il layer of suitable top soil is
spread to width of about sixteen
feet and depth of about ten inches
in the center and three or four inches
at the sides. The next step is to open
up the side bitches with road ma
chine. The earth from the bitches is
thrown up against the bed of top soil
as a shoulder.
The road machine is then used to
level off the surface and to give it the
proper slope from the center to the
side bitches. The road is now thrown
open to traffic and soon packs down
into a hard, dry surface. If rainy
weather occurs during the spreading
of the material or soon after, so much
the better. Wet weather and heavy
traffic assist in the mixing and pud-
ding process After this process has
continued until the surface soil is thor

This treatment is continued until the

Aside from the grading, these top

The TOP SOIL ROAD,
Details of a Method Which 0rigi-
mated In Clark County, Ga.
MATERIAL IN FIELDS TAKEN.
Soil Used Must Have Enough Sand or
Gravel and Clay to Resist Action Of
Traffic and Weather - Cost From
$3.50 to $500 Per Mile.

A new method of road construc-
ton which was recently evolved III
Clark county, Ga, is called the top
soil method, because ii consists of
building the road out of the surface
soil from the adjacent fields. In some
respects it is like the sand-clay meth
cd, while in others it IS similar to the
gravel road So far as the writer is
aware, Clark county, Ga, enjoys the
distinction of having originated this
method. The details were worked out
by Professor C. NJ. Strain of Georgia
university and Clark county'S com
missioner of deeds.
The success of this method depends
largely upon the soil used Just any
soil will not do. 1t must have enough
sand or gravel in 1t to resist the action
of the traffic and weather and enough
clay to bind the particles together. II
is we'll known that. although clay has
a high Cemcnting value. it will not
make a good road if used alone on ac-
count of the fact that when it is wet
it absorbs moisture and SoftcnS. 1t
is also we'll known that round, water
worn gravel or sand which is clean
and free from clay will not produce a
satisfactory road surface because mel
Their will bind, but If clay. gravel and
sand are mixed together in certain
proportions they have been found to
produce surface which will be both
hard and smooth the year round.
If these materials can be found al
ready mixed the trouble and expense
of mixing can be avoided. Il is Il com
mon practice throughout the United
States TO use bank gravel for road sur
facing which has a little clay in it.,
but Clark county is the first, be
lieve, to skin the top soil from the
adjacent fields and use it for this pur-

Four Thousand WOrkmen Killed Annually in Coal
 Mines of America
MUCH HIGHER THAN
 EUROPEAN. LOSSES
Bill Now Before Congress to Deal With Conservation
 of Human Life

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 7.- There is bill now before the congress of the United States which aims at conservation in very important sense of that important word,-the sense here implied being the conserva- tion of the lives of four thousand men who in a short twelve month enter the toll of death in the coal mines of the United States, and of the additional seven thousand who are maimed and crippled in the same hazardous occupa- tion every year.
 | Today half a million men are Hav- | ing the dangers and the uncertainties of the underground in bringing from 1 the depth of the earth the materials upon which rest our welfare and pros | perity, and also in great part our pleas ures and comforts with the approach of eventide about thirty will have dropped from the ranks of these deserv ing toilers,-thirty in just one day, of whom twelve will have perished, with twenty others more or less seriously
 
 will have destroyed their fellow work CTS.
 The bill which is expected to pre- pare the way for great lessening of these disasters, which is expected to so direct intelligent government investi- gation as to largely avoid a repetition of Hateful Cherry, Primero, Marianne, Monogah, Ziegler, Blue Lick, etc., with their ghastly death lists of hundreds, is H. R. 1915, providing for the estab- | lishment of bureau of mines. On i January 25 it passed thes house by a large vote and is now before the sen. ate. One of the distinct features of ! this bill is ''to make diligent investi- gation of the methods of mining, the safety of miners, the possible improve ment of conditions under which mining operations are carried on the use of explosives and electricity, the prevention of accidents, etc. l"
 Notwithstanding there has been a large increase in the production of coal during the past ten years with cor responding increase in the number of employees, the death-list has more than kept pace with either This indictment is not at all to the credit of this great nation, which, under mining conditions naturally the safest, permits loss of human life two to five times as large as in foreign countries, in proportion to the number of men employed. The fact that the United States has done so lit tie to protect the life and limb of the miner and is far behind all other min ing countries in this respect, will be startling to most people.
