which experience has shown to be
most essential to the endurance of
road. In Il recent technical paper de-
signed to assist engineers in making
accurate laboratory tests of road ma
terial, the road specialists define these
qualities as follows:
Hardness is the property a rock
should possess in order to resist sue
cessfully the abrasive action of traffic,
especially iron-tired vehicles, which
tend to grind to dust the individual
fragments of rock forming the wear
ing course of macadam road.
"Toughness is the property a rock
should possess to resist successfully
fracture under the impact of traffic.
Binding power, or cementing values
as 1t is more frequently called, is the
ability which the dust of a rock should
possess or develop by contact with wa
ter, so as to bind or cement the larger
rock fragments together and prevent
their displacement under the shearing
action of traffic. This property is es,
pecially valuable in water-bound
macadam construction, since it is de-
pended upon to maintain the integ-
rity of the wearing course as the road
surface is worn off by traffic"

the wear of traffic is regarded as so

MONEY GROWS ON
TREES In NEWARK
Long-Overlooked Value Dis
covered in the Autumn Leav-
es All Over the Country

Money grows on trees, the
old saying to the contrary, not
withstanding.
Autumn leaves have been
discovered to have an excellent
use which Nature has long
known about, but man neglect
ed. The richest soil is the
woodland mould that poets
write about but hate to step in.
The farmer however, for more
practical reasons, thinks high
ly of it-this soil that is the
product of decayed vegetation.
So bury your leaves this fall
don't burn 'em. This is the
gospel that is being spread by
the fire prevention authorities
who say that fall bonfires
cause many bad fires and
thousands of dollars worth of
property to be destroyed each
year about this time.
Try the plan this fall of
burying the leaves and then in
stead of wondering, nextspring
where to get some first-class
fertilizer for your garden or
lawn, simply go out and dig up
the rotted leaves. The late
Capt. Kidd, of buried-treasure
fame or Fido with a resurrect-
ed bone,in their proudest NOM
ents, are not to be compared
