TWO new ROADS
FOR CALIFORNIA.
Each Extends Entire Length Of
That State.
SMALL TOWNS CONNECTED.
Highways Being Constructed at Cost
Of S13.ooo.0oo - How Economy Is
Practiced and the Shortest Possible
Routes Are Followed.

California wants and Is going to have
two trunk roads. north and south. and
its well defined plan presents AN object
lesson to other state Of great distances
and emphasizes tie fact that the
through road Is a modern necessity In
u general system.
The California law requires roads to
be built the length Of the state along
the most direct and practicable routes.
one along the coast and another tray
ersing the Sacramento and San JJa-
quin valleys. with lateral roads to such
county seats rs may not be OH the main
lines For constructing these roads
S1S.OO0.O0O was voted two years ago.
The automObilists naturally worked for
this legislation. and ii Is worth noting
that California has more motorcars
than France. in excess OF 10000.
In the eastern and central states not
only are conditions different hut the
topography of the country is less severe
and lends itself more readily to the
building % roads that will best serve
the interests of the people. The great
bulk of travel OF the through roads of
the east Is not from one terminal to
the other. but between the important
cities along he route and between them
and either terminal. Consequently 1t Is
more expedient TO build main ronds so
as to reach I'LL the important points
along or near the route. even to the ex-
tent of sacrificing Il part of the direct
ness and adding some mileage.
That the comparatively few people
who travel the whole length of road
than compel ii large number of short
distance travellers to 20 additional dis
tances Is self evident. For every ten
persons who travel across Il state there
are probably ninety who travel from
one point to another within the state.
SO that us matter OF convenience to
the great majority route across
state should touch all OF the important
cities within reasonable reach.
With the amount of money provided
the utmost economy mus. be practiced
and shortest possible routes followed
to comply with the law. To build
roads that will stand the strain of
much motor travel the state highway
has adopted concrete for
almost the entire system. In building
the road the grade Is prepared and
so as to leave the subgrade
dry that II will not freeze and heave
with frost
II Is then thoroughly rolled. On this
IS placed four inches OF rich concrete.

Commander Cardale, an active Of

Athens, on hearing OF the horrors
committed by the Bulgarian troops
at Doxato, left Immediately for that
place. and afterward sent out the
following description of what met
his eyes on reaching the scene OF
the massacres. We read:

The bodies of 80 of them We're still

upstairs into the house OF the Turk,
seeking refuge under the carpets
and divans OF the place.
Commander Cardale found the
cushions and carpets slashed by
sword cuts and the walls reeking
with human blood and hacked re-
mains. In another room he was
shown the place, still despatched
with blood. where a woman and her
child had been crucifed on the wall.
