cars.
No railroad operating In this State
ever has placed l Pullman cur at the
disposal OF negro passengers, but the
question of the right of Il negro to de-

been preached. Just now. tho attitude

nary care and attention, especially dur
ing touring time, when they require
weekly inspection" says c. II. Larson,
president of the Oldsmobile Company,
of New York. "If any small cuts less
than three-quarters of an inch long are
discovered in the tread they should be
plugged with plastic rubber, but if the
cuts are deep or longer it will be more
economical TO have them vulcanized.
at is not the tread cut itself which
is so dangerous as the trouble which
may come of the cut. A tread cut al
lows water and dirt to enter, usually
forming small Jumps, which work
deeper and deeper into the rubber,
finally reaching the fabric. When this
is done, water may enter, which has a
tendency TO rot the fabric. If it should
begin to rot at one point, that spot be-
comes weak, and slight bruise may
cause a blowout.
Thus a weekly inspection OF the
tires. with a view of repairing all tread
cuts. will result in more tire mileage,

LONGEST CONCRETE ROADWAY
Spans Yolo Bypass in Sacramento
Valley.

One of the most absorbing examples
Of concreate construction so far exc
cuted in America is represented by
csusewsy that spans the Yolo bypass in
the Sacramento Valley. The August
Popular Mechanics Magazine" de-
scribes the construction of this trestlc.
1t is thought to be the longest of its
kind in the world, and has lately been
completed under the supervision of the
California State Highway Commission.
Although 800 miles from end to end,
and striking specimen Of good, accu-
rate workmanship, this elevated road
way was built in thoroughly substan-
tial manner for less than s395,000.
Certain phases of the construction were
accomplished by original methods
which have attracted the attention of
engineers.
The unit system was followed in
erecting the trestlc, which is 20 feet in
height and provides a roadway 81 feet
wide. 1t is supported on reinforced
concrete piles, each weighing from
three to five tons, that were driven into
place. The floor consists of pre-cast
slabs. Four of these were placed side
by side to span the 2Ofoot gaps be-
tween the bents, the full width of the
structure. The parts were so carefully
designed and put together that the
completed trestle is monolithic struct-
ure.

ROOM FOR MEN WHO
KNOW ROADMAKlNG
Will Help to Spend That
S75,OOO,OOO Congress
Appropriated.

The ever increasing mileage Of good
reads in this country and the recent
appropriation by Congress Of $780,
600 900 for improving the highways OF
the country combine to make it need
full to train engineers in the special art
of road making. The National Automo-
bile Chamber of Commerce, which in
Guides all save few of the motor car
manufacturers of this country, as the
organization most closely concerned
with the good roads problem, has now
started a movement to encourage the
universities and colleges of the coun-
try to provide specialized courses in
highway engineering.
Roy D. Chaplin, chairman OF the good
roads committee Of the n. A. c. c., says
of the movement: "As result Of in
ouiries addressed to the various high
wGy commissions it was found that
there is a decided lack of sufficient men
with technical training and practical
experience in road work to meet the
requirements. Eighteen out Of twenty
/ four state commissions responding TO
| the inquiries mentioned this fact and
said that preference would be given to
graduates of university and college en-
elneering courses when making APP
pointments. 1t is the consensus Of
opinion among them that the number of
road engineers employed will be dou-
bled at least in the next five years as
| a result of the growth of the good
roads movement.
"The type of roads required to meet
present and future traffic conditions
calls for high degree of engineering
/ skill, the foundation for which must be
laid in civil engineering educational in
stitutions, and supplemented by actual
experience in road and bridge design
ing and construction.
"0ut of seventy-five universities and
, colleges heard from which provide civil
engineering courses less than half pro-
vide for any specialization by students
in highway subjects. Only four have
special highway engineering courses
leading up to degrees or certificates in
! this particular branch. The committee
is endeavoring, first, to create a de-
mand by students for such specialized
instruction, and, second. to encourage
the colleges and universities to provide
it.
Following the enactment of the Fed
eral good roads bill last spring the
work of apportioning and awarding the
different states the first S5,00o,0O0 to
be distributed this year, is now pro-
ceeding at the Department of Agri-
culture. There is an evident disposition
on the part of the state highway COM
missioners to have this money expend-
ed upon the main interstate roads"
