expects to haul a good deal of water
and use roller. BY far the most eco
nomical way to build a gravel road is
to spread about two inches on the or
dinary surface of road that has been
previously cleared of all dead and
worn out material that would never
pack again and then plow the road
and put the gravel on about three or
four inches deep and just allow the
traffic to work it in and have a man
continuously along the road for two
or three weeks with rake to fill in
the ruts and pick out any of the too
large gravel stones, as the top surface
should contain no stones larger than n
hickory nut.
another method of constructing
this road which would be still more
economical would be to spread the
gravel on In November or December
Spread 1t over the road about two or
three inches deep and repeat during
the winter as the traffic works 1t into
the mud. | am assuming now that
We have a road that would get muddy
In the winter time and one that would
have clay or loan bottom or large
percentage Of loan. If we are to deal
with sandy road II will be necessary
to put considerable percentage Of
clay or loan with the sand prior to
the spreading OF the gravel. | have
built quite a number of pieces Of road
In this manner, by putting the gravel
on during the winter. and they have
been very satisfactory.
"One Of the greatest difficulties with
great many people in mending roads,
in my Judgment, is that they endeavor
to patch up the road instead of plow-
ing 1t up and letting the whole mass
settle at once. Some people have an
idea that traffic will make road level
Traffic will mash down some Jumps
and some of the coarse gravel, but II
the material is not evenly spread or
the road not properly graded when 1t
Is constructed 1t will grow worse-that
IS, more uneven-as time goes on. 1t IS
time we'll spent in the grading OF a
new road to go over 1t innumerable
times with n road machine In order
that the grade may be made perfect in
the beginning. and ! know of a great
many roads In Nassau and Suffolk
counties, New York, now which, If they
could be plOwed up and have q little
sand put in some places and a little
loan in others, then be thoroughly
graded with road machine and have
n little gravel added during the winter,
woud be good all the year round for
wagons or automobiles. and If they
were oiled they could be rendered just
as dust proof as a macadam road"

Here, you," she called, fetch me
a cab, and be quick about it. I'm
late now"
She didn't know that she was ad-
dressing the first of all the peers of
England. The duke didn't let her
know either. Instead, he meekly trot-
ted off like a hard up porter and
brought cab around quickly. He
gratefully accepted the siXpenny bit
the lady thrust at him, touched his
cap and carefully closed the cab door
for her That siXpence is one of his
most cherished possessions today.
The duke Is the only person in all
the empire who can give orders to
the king and queen, to say nothing
Of the princes and prinCesses of the
blood royal; the only one who enjoys
the chief perquisites after a corona
ton; the only one who prescrihes just
what their majesties shall wear when
they are crowned.

GRAVEL ROAD
CONSTRUCTION
Two Economical Methods De-
scribed by an Expert.
VERY LITTLE SAND NEEDED
Screened Gravel Is the Most Suitable
Material to Use-Winter Treatment
Considered the Cheaper-Advice on
the Mendins of Highways.

Representative William w. Cocks of
Long Island, who has built several
gravel roads and has found them very
satisfactory. tells how they can be con
structed economically.
ITO the minds of most people," he
says, when we speak of a gravel
road comes the idea of coarse sand,
such as they have seen dumped on the
road from time to time and frequently
In such quantities that 1t did not mix
properly with the loan, and hence
there was soft, sandy road, which is
the worst road In the world for haul
ing heavy loads over. What | mean
by gravel road is screened gravel or
gravel that may be found in so ne
banks that would be suitable for road
construction without screening. but 1t
should not contain over 10 per cent of
sand in most instances unless one
were to use Il very thin coat and over
road that was of very deep loan,
when 1t would be we'll enough to allow
a little larger percentage of sand. but
otherwise l prefer it to carry as little
sand as possible.
There are two methods In which
this Kind of road could be constructed
One is by the formation of trench,
treating 1t very much as we do road
for macadam and then putting In the
gravel about eight inches deep mixed
with a little loan or clay, and be-
lieve that now 1t would be wise to put
some tar Oh the top course. In the
construction of this road would lay
1t In two courses. provided | were 60
ing to use tar in the upper course.
There would be some difficulty in get
ting gravel road to pack if it were
laid in eight inches thick. and it should
be done in the winter time unless one
