CONCRETE ROADS URGED
BY CHAIRMAN WELLER
OF State Roads Commission Who Finds
it Best Type of Highway.

According to the opinion OF Chairman
0. E. Weller and Engineer Shirley, of
the State Roads Commission, the solu-
ton of the road problem is the concrect
road The commission is experimenting
very extensively with this type of road
and thus for the experiment has proved
successful.
Engineer Shirley has long been an
enthusiastic advocate of the concrete
road and when he was roads engineer
for Baltimore county, he built a long
stretch of it in a boggv location, in
which no other road had ever held, and
the road Is in splendid condition today,
with comparatively little signs of wear,
and no evidence of giving away.
Soon after he became head of the
roads commission Chairman Weller
began the investigation of concrete for
road-building purposes, and the more
he studied the proposition the more he
liked it. In December of last year he
and Engineer Shirley went to Wayne
county, Michigan, to examine the
roads there. The automobile traffic on
the Wayne county concrete roads is
probably heavier than on any roads of
the same length in the country, due to
the fact that Detroit is a centre of the
automobile industry and all the factories
in Detroit use these roads on which to
give the machines their road tests. In
addition there is heavy wagon traffic
on them.
Wayne county began the building of
concrete roads about five years ago, and
has improved on them every year since
Chairman Weller said the first roads
built. Notwithstanding the tremendous
traffic upon them, are still in excellent
shape, although the more improved
roads are better. Wayne county is
gradually rebuilding all its man roads
with concrete.
The facts learned in Wayne county
made both Messrs. Weller and Shirley
more firmly convinced of the desirability
of concrete for roads, and as the COM
mission agreed with them a number of
contracts have been given out for this
type. One piece of road on the Wash
ington boulevard at Bladensburg, at a
cost of about $40, 900 a mile, is in
splendid condition andIshows no sign of
wear.
Contracts for concrete roads aggre-
eating 80 miles have been given out at
an average price of approximately SILL
600 a mile They are being built in
Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil, Charles,
Caroline, Montgomery, Somerset, St.
Mary's. Prince Georges, Talbot and
Worcester counties, and vary in length
from the mile and half that is beng
built in Baltimore county. to the nine
and a quarter miles for which contracts
have been awarded in Prince George s.
In sections where stone roads are
almost prohibitive on account of the
cost of the stone, but where sand and
gravel are found, such as IN southern
Maryland and on the Eastern Shore,
concrete has solved the problem of
getting hard roads. and wherever they
have have been built the users of them

Simple as it is, it gives almost instant
relief and usually stops the most obsti-
nate cough in "a hours. This is partly
due to the. fact that it is slightly laxa-
tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
excellent tonic effect. 1t is pleasant to
take-children like it. An excellent rem.
edy, too, for whooping cough, Group, sore
lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
" pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents, WORTHY in a pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine is one of the oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pinex is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
all the other natural healing elements.
Other preparations will not work in this

The prompt results from this recipe
have endeared it to thousands Of house,
