MATERIALS FOR GOOD ROADS
Exact Proportions Of Sand and Clay
Cannot Be Given Definitely Be-
cause Of Variations.

The exact proportions Of sand and
clay for making the best sand-clay
road cannot be stated. as the proper
lions vary with the character of the
sand, according to its sharpness. per-
centage Of foreign material and size
of grains. Approximately, there Is in
. sand-clay road about eighty per
cent. sand and twenty per cent. clay.
One simple means Of determining the
theoretical amount Of pure clay that
should be added to any sand that is to
be used in the construction Of a sand
clay road Is to fill glass tumbler
brimfull with the sand that is to be
used and then fill a similar tumbler
with water; pour the water carefully
onto the sand until the water comes
flush with the surface. which will
mean that all the voids between the
grains Of sand are now filled with wa
ter. The amount of water that has
been poured into the tumbler contain
Ing the sand Will represent the pro-
portion Of volume Of clay that Is nee
essary to add to that particular sand
to NIL all the voids with clay.
Having determined the source of
supply Of the best materials for ma
king sand-clay road. the next ques-
ton IL the mixing of the materials,
and this varies with the character of
the subsoil. whether this is a sand
upon which clay Is to be added or clay
upon which sand is to be added. It
Will be found that 1t is much easier
to make a sand-clay road where the
Subsoil Is clay.

NOVEL TAX OPINION

The newspaper owners of Ohio will

ion of Judge Dittey of the state tax
commission, a newspaper should be
taxed, not only upon it's physical
value, but also upon it's good will
This is a stilted position which Judge
Dittey takes, and one which no one
would suggest could be applied to
any other class of business. The pub
Usher builds up the good will of his
newspaper just as the lawyer or doc
tor builds up practice, by interject-
ing his industry his integrity his
personality into the business. Good
will is in large measure an intangi-
BILE thing. 1t is often an ephemeral
something which man may some
times sell, but cannot always deliver
and is not an entity that can be taxed

body in Ohio may be made to ex-
tend.-Lima CO., Times-Democrat
