usual tone. As soon as the automobile
stops the alarm is set automatically,
and if anybody jumps into the machine
and tries to steal it the horn will set
up a fearful noise the moment the
wheels begin to turn, and will not stop
until the car comes to a standstill.
No thief would be daring enough to
jump into car that would make itself
so conspicuous.
The new invention is proof against
carelessness on the part of the chauf-
feur, because the moment he gets out
of the car or stops it the alarm gets
into position and will give forth its
noisy blast unless the combination is
Ireadjusted.
This device will be boon to owners
of cars whose chauffeurs are in the
h bit of going out Joy riding. A chauf-
feur on joy ride is liable to e-ink too
much and become very careless, but
with the horn alarm on his machine
there can be no chance for thief to
slip away with it.

GOOD ROADS YEAR BOOK.

FUNDS available in all of the states
for the improvement of roads dur
ing the year 1914 are shown in the
Official Good Roads Year Book issued
by the American Highway Association,
which is ready for distribution. This
Is one of the new features of the book
which will make it invaluable to every
state, county and municipal highway
official.
The year book discloses for the first
time that appropriations by the state
legislatures for road improvement in
the various states are available to the
sum of $62,201, ,016. The year book lists
all of the patents relative to roads
and bridges, all road expenditures in
recent years, all associations work for
road Improvement, describes all the diff
ferent methods of road construction
and different road materials, giving
a directory Of all road bulletins, cir
culars, and documents Of interest to
persons working for better highways
and for all officials engaged in super
vising work on roads. Sections of the
year book are devoted to work in
different states and the progress of
road Improvement. One of the interest
ing features, for instance, is the de-
scription Of dust preventives, while
one chapter is devoted to convict labor
and another to the financial phase of
road improvement. A summary of the
road laws in the various states is of
particular interest to motorists, while
descriptions of specifications for high
ways in the various states viii be OF
interest to engineers. There also is q
chapter devoted to important events

THERE is no phase Of the road
problem moro important than that
of maintenance. The general i'm
preston that there are certain types
of roads that are permanent is errone
GUS. No permanent road has ever been
constructed or ever will be, accord
ing to the road specialists of the U. s.
Department of Agriculture. The only
things about a road that may be con
sidercd permanent are the grading, cul-
verts and bridges. Roads constructed
by the most skillful highway engineers
will soon be destroyed by the traffic,
frost, rain and wind, unless they are
properly maintained. But the life of
these roads may be prolonged by sys-
tematic maintenance. A poor road will
not only bo improved by proper main
tenancc but may become better in time
than good road without it.
The first and last commandment in
earth road maintenance is to keep the
surface well drained. To insure good
drainage the bitches should be kept
open, all distractions removed and a
smooth crown maintained. Except for
very stony soil the road machine or
scraper may be used very effectively
for this work. Tho machine should
be used once or twice year and the
work should be done when tho soil is
damp so that it will pack and bake
into a hard crust. Wide and shallow
side bitches should be maintained with
sufficient fall and capacity to dispose
of surface water. These bitches can
in most places be constructed and re-
paired with road machine.
All vegetable matter such as sods
and weeds should be kept out of the
road as they make a spongy surface
which retains moisture. Clods are also
Objectionable for they soon turn to
dust or mud and for that reason roads
should never be worked when dry or
hard. Boulders or loose stones are
equally Objectionable if smooth sur
face is to be secured
A split-log drag or some similar dc.
vice is very useful in maintaining the
surface after suitable bitches and cross

ROAD DRAINAGE.

.FlHE first and prime essential of any
good road is drainage-surface, sub
surface and side drainage. When
finished, the road must shed water. To
do this the road must be crowned from
! to of an inch to the foot, depend
ing on the wearing surface, and must
have an impervious or waterproof COW
ering. There must be an unimpeded
slope from the crown to the gutter or
to the side ditch. The cutters or side
bitches have at least 4-1O of foot fall
per 100 feet, and, if they are earthen
bitches, they should have ] foot per
100 feet, and free drainage at frequent
intervals into natural creeks, channels,
or, in the ease of city with a sewerage
system, into the sewers.
In order to drain away the sub-sur-
face water and prevent it from soften
ing the foundations, it is well to lay
two lines Of tiles.
The second essential, which is an
essential of any structure, is a good
foundation, and this is especially re.
quired for roads where the loads are
concentrated on such small areas.
Because macadam roads are more ex.
pensive than gravel roads in first cost
they should be built very carefully. The
materials in the order of their excel

sections have one been secured. This
drag can also be used to advantage
on gravel road as well as on an
earth road. The principle involved in
dragging is that clays and most heavy
soils will puddle when wet and set
very hard when dry The little atten-
ton that the earth road needs must
be given promptly and at the proper
time if the best results are to bo OBJ
tanned.
In dragging roads only a small
amount of earth is moved, just enough
to fill the ruts and depressions with
a thin layer of plastic clay or earth
which packs very hard so that the
next rain, instead of finding ruts, de-
pression5 and clods in which to col
lect, runs off, leaving the rurface but
little affected.
The drag should be light and should
be drawn over the road at an angle
of about As degrees The driver should
ride on the drag and should not drive
faster than q walk. One round trip,
each trip straddling wheel track,
is usually sufficient to fill the ruts
and smooth the surface. If necessary
the road should be dragged after every
bad spell of weather, when the soil
lis in proper condition to puddle well
and still not adhere to the drag If
the road is very bad it may be dragged
when very wet and again when it be-
gins to dry out. A few trips over the
road will give the operator an idea
as to the best time to draw. Drag at
all seasons, but do not crag a diy
road.
The slope or crown of an earth road
should be about one inch to the foot.
If the crown becomes too high it may
be reduced by dragging toward the
ditch instead of from it. If the drag
cuts too much, shorten the hitch and
change your position on the drag. If it
is necessary to protect the face of the
drag with strip Of iron, it should be
placed flush with the edge of the drag
and not projecting. A cutting edge
should be avoided, as the main object
in dragging is to smear the damp soil
into position.
