THE ROADS OF THE WHOLE
WORLD MUST BE REMADE
"old Macadam Will No Longer Stand
Strain of Automobile"

Nelson P. Lewis. chief engineer OF
the board of estimate of the borough
of Manhattan, New York city. believes
that the roads of every civilized coun
fry will have to be rebuilt because
the old macadam, the best thing until
now for highways, is unable to stand
the grind of automobiles. Roads will
have to be rebuilt to suit automobiles.
because the automobile is q good thing
for roads of the kind that can bear it's
peculiar pressure. Speaking on this
subject recently. Mr.. Lewis said:
while believe that only a bitumi-
nous substance. such as tar. asphalt or
mineral oil. should be used ssS binding
material for loose rock and sand in
place of water and that all our roads
should be relaid. as they must be soon
er or later. many engineers seem to
think that by spreading cohesive
mixture over the surface of the roads
as they are will be all that is required.
Some others believe that new mac
adam may be laid and the surface
treated with this bituminous mixture.

ION one point there is no disagree
ment 1t is that no roads anywhere
except those newly built according to
some of these more modern processes
are able to withstand automobile traf

drawn vehicle was a benefit to the
road having the effect of steam roll

and clay
"Everywhere the cry of bad roads
is going up. We are no worse off
than the rest of the world 1t is
problem which now engages the Sc
rious attention Of the French govern
ment. and England. which spent a
hundred years in making her splendid
highways. is now rebuilding them as
fast as she can to accommodate them
to new conditions.
lit is quite generally agreed that
some form of bitumen is best adapted
for this purpose.
There are four general methods Of
using it:
"First-Coating the surface to form.
temporarily at least. waterproof and
dustless road.
"Second.--The penetration method. by
which the bituminous matter is forced
down into the broken stone. and sand or
screenings are used to take up the excess
of bitumen.
"Third.-The interposition of the bitumi-
nous mixture between the bottom course
of stone and the top course. or new wear
ing surface. and the forcing OF the upper
course into the mixture. additional ma
terial being added to the surface to COM
pletely fill the interstices between the
stones while sand or screenings are ap-
piled to take up any excess upon the sur
face.

CAMPING OUT

Once upon time three boys
lived in the city. They were
getting ready to go out camping
They prepared some food to eat
and bought a tent to take with
them. The day they went was
very nice. They took quilts and
pillows to sleep on. When they
got there they worked hard to
get the tent up. The first night
they were disturbed by the
growing of two bears. They
were very much frightened. The
two bears killed the boys. And

charged that after specimens of grain had

cars were moved from their original place
and caused delays in delivery to buyers
because they we're difficult to find. Bew-
sher said he filed the complaint as a pro.
