aggregate and asphaltlc cement. This finely pulverized mineral aggregate is obtained by taking ordinary dirt or loam or clay or any other earthly ma terial and reducing ii to a finely pull verized product, and at the same time heating It to several hundred degrees Fahrenheit thereby freeing il of all i'm purities. organic matters or decomDo- sition products. as well as moisture, whercupon it is mixed with asphaltic cement. in a proportion of not less than 16 per cent by weight Of paving mater ial IL is mixed while hot and dry, and in these proportions from a combina- tion. 2nd the product is known as Ma tional pavement. In the above propor- tions the combination seems to be all most perfect. that is. no free asphalt can be found. neither can any free min eral aggregate be found The mixture f it were liquid would be known as a saturated solution. In other words each finely divided particle of dust is coated with a thin film Of asphaltic cement.
 Dr. \. W. Dow. very eminent chem icaI engineer and an authority on pave ments. in writing Of National pavement says:
 II ldS bt-'n f W tll lttOSlll[tl ldtl in paving for a number of years that the finer the mineral particles em- ployed in making the asphaltic mix ture. the softer the asphalt cement can be used in producing the necessary de- gree Of hardness in the pavement The softer one can successfully use the as phalt cement in pavement. the longer will be its life The fact that the use Of fine material produces tough pave ment demonstrates that the asphalt has a stronger affinity for fine partic- les than for coarse.
 This explains why your pavement is to tough and at the same time resil- ient and is the property which will prevent it's rutting and wearing into holes as readily as does sheet asphalt. IL also makes your pavement much more imperVious to the action of water. The wearing cannot take place in q manner similar to other types of bi- luminous pavement constructed from sands and mineral aggregate. In these paVements the coarse mineral matter slowly pulverizes under traffic and grinds away but in the case of the National pavement earthy material is already pulVerized into as fine q condi- ton as possible and there can be no further grinding of the particles. This is well illustrated by the fact that the finer the mineral particles in a bitum- inous pavement. the better il will with stand heavy traffic. II is for this req . son that sheet asphalt pavement of fine sand l. always selected for this condi- ton.

eralIv conceded that sheet asphalt pronerIv constructed is by far the best class of bituminous pavement known Some pavements of this type, which contain d large percentage Of dust or fine mineral matter, are giving good service after life of over thirty years From all indications therefore, 1t Is on ly natural to assume that your pave ment should prove even more durable than the best sheet asphalt
 The National Pavement is smooth and has but little fractions resistance; being resilient. it is much less noisy under the hoofs of horses and gives softer sound under traffic, although II does rot mark nearly as bad as does sheet asphalt pavement under the same ternDerature conditions Even though it's surface is very smooth, its malle- ability gives horses a foothold at all tenpertures and rubber tires do not skid on it. a great advantage over other forms of pavement
 A, you can use any class of earthH material. thus making il possible for YOU to set up your plant at any place along the highway where the earthy material k most available gives your process of manufacture great adVan- tace over other forms Of paving: this is a great economic advantage, so many sections of the country contain no sand or stone suitable for stone or paving work II always permits our select ing inc cheapest earthly material in the neighborhood Of your paving work, or in some cases of even using the earth exCavated from the roadway being i'm proved. An examination of the pave ment laid by you during the last year shows that your material is better quality than that laid on Colborn street. being finer texture and of greater uniformity. Ii is therefore natural to infer that your present ma terial is even uperior to that laid in thc street above referred to.
 We are much impressed with the many features of this new paving ma terial and have no hesitancy in saying that we believe it a success and will go a long way toward solving many problems in the construction of streets and highways. also making it possible to have durable and smooth pavements in rural districts that were prohibited bv cost under our former knowledge of the paving subject"

nents taken by me while in lola, l am thoroughly in accord with Dr. DoWs opinion regarding it. l found by lab ratory tests by heating in the furnace that it would stand temperature of more than 200 degrees without appreci- atively softening, that d temperature of 900 degrees or more for d period of four hours failed to break it down, but that it would crumble under this heat but that after such crumbling could be readily moulded again to it's former shape and condition without any ap parent affect on it's composition. The city Of lola has laid four inches of this pavement on a dirt base at the cost of $120 per square yard. which price in cIuded 15c per square yard as a roy alty charge.
 The Bituminous Road company, Reliance Building, Kansas City, Mo, are owners of the patent of National Pavement and they state that they will only do business with contractors. The pavement although having been pat ented for a number of years has met with little attention from the public from the fact that until recently their macEIne for manufacturing this pave ment was not efficient, though they have perfected it now, and I made an inspection of the one located at lola and or the product turned out by it, q sample of which l brought back with me. This machine costs, erected from S9,600 to $11OO0 The cost of this pavement compares favorably with that bitulithic. the same type as is now laid on Mcdowell road
 Concrete: In the matter of concrete pavement I am neither in favor of or opposed to it. If good concrete pave ment is laid. and good ones can be laid, they are expensive. Cheap con- crete is absolutely worthless and my experience with it is that only the very best is economical. The concrete pave ment in the rear of the city hall cost $2.45 per square yard. it apparently is a good job. but l believe you will con- cede that it is no better nor so good from my stand point as the bitulithic I am opposed to laying it unless some bitumenous wearing coat is put upon it. to prevent wear. dust, noise and re- flection of heat
 In conclusion I would most respect fully recommend that for the business districts of this city bitulithic pave ment with concrete base be used That several blocks of the pavement under the Topeka specifications he laid to de termine the proper mixture in order to make the most suitable pavement: that steps be taken whereby National pave ment can be introduced in this city for I am confident that it possesses many advantages over the present bi-

STATE ABOVE THE INDIVIDUAL
Feudalism and Psternalism Other Features in Structure of Ger
 many

Possibly the most important in
 fluence in the making of modern
 Germany and in molding the mind Of
 the nation is the persistence down
 to vely recent times of the feudal
 idea of the state, with the eight eenth century relation of classes The German people, especially the
 Prussians, still think in terms of an
 earlier age; they accept the divine
 right of kings and the only less
 divine right of the feudal aristocracy Ito rule. And they accept this with
 but little intellectual protest.
 The second influence in the mol
 ding of modern Germany is the com pIete ascendancy of two powerful in- dividuals who have dominated the life of the nation for over fifty years. These individuals are Prince Bis narck and William II.
 These two men have guided the destinies of Germany. They framed constructive legislation and directed
 the state in the same general direc- tion. Both were possessed of bound less imagination as to the ultimate destiny of the German people. They
 were not seriously distracted by pol itical controversy. They ruled by party coalitions when that was pos sible: and when it was not, they ruled without parliamentary sane tiOn.
 Their control over Prussia was absolute and through Prussia their control of the empire was almost equally so. They chose their own associates, and they chose them from their own class. And they fashioned Germany to their liking. not only for military purposes, but for in dustrial and commercial aggression as we'll The legislation which they promoted, even the social legiSla- ton for the protection of the wor- king classes. was in harmony with the early traditions of Prussia. The laws they insisted on involved no Nio-
 lent break with the past. Rather
 they were a continuation of the
 paternalism, of the feudalism of the
 ascendancy of the state over the in
