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
q 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 10 to
be used In the construction OF sand
clay road is to I'LL q glass tumbler
brimfull with the sand that 10 to be
used and then I'LL . 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 nec-
essary to add to that particular sand
to fill all the voids with clay.
Having determined the source Of
supply of the best materials for ma
king a sand-clay road, the next Ques-
ton is 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 sand-clay road where the
subsoil Is clay.

To Operate Canal by Electricity.
The Panama canal will be operated
almost exclusively by electric power.
approximately seven per cent. Of the
minimum water supply will be d.
verted by hydro-electric development,
and this will be the excess which is
not required for lockages, evaporation,

north wall of the Gatun spillway and
the plant will have capacity of 5000
kilowatts. The average hydraulic head
