In loosening shale and rock to facili-
tate hand or steam shovel work dyna-
mite is also very effective, while stumps
may be blasted from the roadbed just
as though they were being removed
from field to be cleared and cultivated.
Boulders also are easily shattered by
suitable loading and when of hard rock
may be crushed into surfacing stone.
The side bitches as well as the long
outfall bitches can also be blasted In
keeping with the nature of the ground.
In fact, there are no limits practically
to the many uses and advantages of
dynamite for road building when care
full and thoughtful attention is given
to the work.
Incidentally the planting of shade
trees for roadside improvement and at
tractiveness is greatly facilitated by
the judicious use of little dynamite.
1t is recognized fact that trees plant
ed In blasted holes grow much more
rapidly and progress more fayorabiy
than those planted in the average spade
dug ground.

continued calling on his wife in the
conventional manner of a sutton.
The brides parents asked her when
she intended to fixe the date OF the

Young Mrs. Rockefellow asked her

And that was the last time she saw

Explosives In Road Building

One of the newer methods of road
building that is fast winning the in
dorsement of the better versed contrac
tor Is that of employing dynamite for
reducing the heavy work.
Grading through hard ground or rock
for instance is tedious and requires
time and labor The use of dynamite
for blasting such material is a welcome
relief Both rock and hard clay may
be loosened in the cut by well placed
charges of explosives if holes are drill
ed into the ground a little way up the
bank and loaded. Careful spacing and
loading for electrically fired blasts will
result in bringing down both classes of
materials in the best possible manner.

and which has resulted in the court
allowing the young wife decree.
Rockefellow's bride was Miss War

Don Leonardo Ruiz, a California

Take an inch and a half or two
inches of dynamite. Put it in bit OF
cloth or several thicknesses of paper
to form a small round cartridge. Tie
the cloth or paper firmly about one
end of a piece of fuse twelve or four

Insert one of these charges well into

loose dirt around the fuse, leaving
enough of the end outside to light cas-.

There being no cap or other deto-
