An Experiment With Concrete.

An experiment with concrete as sup
planter OF macadam will begin when
the section of concrete construction
upon the Bardstown road is formally
opened next Tuesday.
The experiment will be interesting,
but as there is at present no means OF
ascertaining what service would be given
by rightly constructed aud intelligently
maintained macadam roads in Jefferson
County, and what the cost would be, the
relative merits Of concrete and macadam
cannot be determined by the county s
experience with the concrete upon the
Bardstown road.
Until the county escapes from the
clutches of the Fiscal Court the legiti-
mate cost of making and maintaining
good macadam roads in Jefferson Coun-
ty will remain problematic.
The concrete road has not been made
by the county government unassisted.
The work was not let and left to con-
tractor as is the custom when macadam
construction is undertaken. The County
Surveyor and his assistants were assist
ed by engineers provided by the Asso-
citation Of American Portland Cement
Manufacturers and, we believe, by an
engineer who represented the Automo- |
bile Club. The result will be, no doubt,
a concrete road built at a moderate cost |
and built to stand the wear and tear of
heavy traffic. To get at what are the
relative merits of concrete and mac
adam the qualities and the life OF the
concrete on the Bardstown road must
be compared with macadam roads
rightly built. To ascertain the COM
cost of construction and main
tenance it is necessary to consider the
cost and upkeep OF macadam roads
elsewhere than in this county. The
concrete road will be, or promises to
be, an example of how to do it. The
macadam roads are costly examples of
how not to do it. Before it can be said
whether concrete or macadam is the
more satisfactory road, all things con-
sidered, comparison, il it is to be made
in this county, must be made after
stretch of macadam road has been
made under gsuch supervision as that
relied upon by the manufacturers OF
to make the concrete road
shining example.
The Courier-Journal has no preju-
dice against concrete, and none in ia
vor of macadam as the material for
The roads of the future. The glowing
accounts of experience with co rete
roads where they have been tried can
not be read without a resultant interest
10 the newer type of road. 1t seems
probable that the costlier construction
II concrete roads will be more than
offset by the lighter cost OF main

of the war Italy had not more than

at least 100000, fully equipped and

At the same time Patrizi declared
that the Italian government was
straining every effort to preserve
neutrality.
"All Italy is enthusiastically in ia

but it is known that his sympathies

SOLDIER RELATES HIDEOUS
CRIME-LOVE. A PART OF 1T.

St. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 2-Seated on
a rough bench in the guard house
at Jefferson Barracks, Scott Stone,
a soldier, recited to the police one
of the most hideous crimes in the his
tory of the middle west. -
For the love of a girl, Lucille, %
whose last name he did not even
know, Stone dynamited his homo at
Tolono, ILL.,, on the night Of Sept. 81,
according to his confession, setting
fire to the dwelling and burning to
death his wife and four little chill
dren. And while the fire still played
with the charred bodies, he hurried
to the resort where Lucille was an in
mate and boastfully remarked, Nov
I've got the divorce l wanted"
Stone said he met Lucille in a re-
sort at Champaign and became infat-
uated with her. He felt that his wife
and children were lodestones and he
knew that there would soon be fifth
child, so he concluded athey would
be better off dead"
Later Stone enlisted in the army
under an assumed name, but the sus-
picions of neighbors who had aided
in fighting the flames and to whom
Stone had not mentioned that his
wife and family were in the burning
house caused an investigation to be
made. The woman in the case was
questioned and she betrayed Stone.
