! ject of how best to reduce the cost OF
macadam roads, or. what is practically
the same thing, how to extend the life OF
/ such roads.
! At any rate. it is of general interest to
| know that the work on the road is being
/ pushed forward rapidly, and that on the
west side the roadbed is nearly completed
| to Bradley lane, which will be the north
ern limit for the present.
A feature which has more than mere
| technical or professional interest Is found
in the method of gutter construction.
When finished these cutters will have the
same external appearance as any other
cobblestone gutter. and will connect the
macad dam pavement with the Sidewalk
space. But. in this instance. the cobble
will be on the top of a trench several
feet deep, at the bottom of which is a line
Of terra Gotta piping in small sections
laid e"d to end. but with no attempt to
close the joints and make them tight.
Details of Gutter Building.
When the pipes are in the trench, loose
broken stone. such as is used on the road
way. is thrown in. and above is loose
earth. which completes the filling OF the
trench to the level designed for the bed
Of the cobblestones. The purpose of this
sort of a gutter is to provide a chance
for the water drained from the road to
sink through the interstices of the cobble-
stones. and. passing through the loose
earth and broken stone. to finally reach
the line of pipe and enter through the
open joints to be carried away. What is
not absorbed in the ground reaches catch
basins. which are provided at proper in
tervals.
AS there are no sewers the advantage
is obvious of gutter which is practical
~ self-draning. This plan of gutter con-
struction appealed SO strongly to the man
agement of the Capital Traction Com
pany that the company is laying similar
trenches on each side of its tracks at the
bottom Of the grade just south of the
Chevy Chase Club.

Just as the former slaves and convicts
that make up a large portion Of the
dark-sktnned population Of French
Guiana are looked upon ri%ghtfully as
blacks. While they may all make
good soldiers. as perhaps the natives
of West Africa will, they are peoples
of a different temperament. requiring
different handling, and may not even
take kindly to an amalgamation.
The Moors and Berbers Of North
Africa are f1ercely independent, hard
and obstinate fighters. but born de.
%serters. They resent anything that re-
sembles severe discipline and newt
ably fall to recognize any authority as
established when that authority con-
or whims. AS long as there Is good
fight in the field they might be tract
able. but they are people who enter
the ranks to get all the turmoil out Of
1t that a soldiers life affords and not
to wear immaculate uniforms on dress
parade In a dull and Mfeless garrison.
AS long as they would be permitted to
ably be little difficulty. for the regi-
ments of natives which France now
has in Africa are relatively docile and

was not even a fit place to send white

good soldiers. but soldiers Of a differ

volunteers and somewhat removed In
quality from the. poor negro recruits
Of West Africa.
However incongruous the ensemble
ally be, there Is n thing that France
counts upon. there will be no socialism
in the ranks, there will be no lack Of
fighting spirit, and the quality Of the
soldiery will not depend upon the in

concerns Of the working taxpayer.
The conservative element in the

thought OF putting shooting material
into the hands Of more or less irre-
spopsible black men for the purpose
OF leading them against white armies.
There Is something in the scheme that
smacks Of racial antagonism. 1t makes
