Hank O'Day was not resting ON his.
oars while peace was being discussed
in Cincinnati. He read between the
lines that the league would get to-
gether and lost no time in deciding
that he desired to be with the big show
next season. OF course, the National
league has been his first love in base
ball, and 1t Is in that organization
that he has applied for his position on
the staff OF arbiters.
Don't forget that ! want to be on
your staff next season"
This was the substance of a tele-
gram President John Tener received
from OsDay. The former was pleased
that the veteran and one of the best
umpires in the game asked to come
back. Tener declared he was glad to
get O'Day's message and lost no time

Sand and Gravel Piled on subgrade
Ready for Use, Experimental Con-
crete Road, Chevy Chase, Md.
marveled at the excellence of the
work.
Manufacturers who have supplied
bituminous materials for the treat
ment of the road have detached their
special experts for this service and
the traffic over the road has demon
strated under carefully observed con-
ditions the relative value of the sew
eral types Of road making up this great
highway.
The Chevy Chase road is expert
mental. 1t consists OF different types
Of -bituminous macadam
laid by the penetration method, sur
lace treatments of waterbound ma
cadam. asphaltic surfaces On concrete
foundations, bituminous surfaced con-
crete, plain and oil cement concrete
and vitrified brick, all Of which are
under daily observation by expert
road builders to ascertain which OF the
types is best suited to the traffic and
which is condemned by practica, test
under the same conditions of climate,
soil. rainfall. heat and cold and like
traffic requirements. 1t would be just
the same to the Office of public roads
which has written this open book In
concrete, brick and stone whether any
part of it or all parts OF it should fail,
failure in materials used, in construc-
ton. in durability, in cost, in mainte-
nance--the test is the thing.
Road building is a science now, and
efficiency is the only test Of quality.
In the stones used in the construc-
ton of the Chevy Chase road, their
specific gravity, their weight per cubic
loot, their water absorption, their per-
centage of wear, their hardness and
soughness are all determined by the
most careful scientific tests. Patrol
men are constantly employed on this
road to keep account Of whatever de-
sects in materials and construction
may develop and exact data as to the
cost of maintenance.
The Chevy Chase road was fortu-
nately placed for the reason that all
Of it's sections of types have been sub
iected to precisely the same sort of
traffic year in and year out and the
section or type that has not stood the
strain has been as important an object
lesson to road builders as the section
or type that has maintained Itself un-
der like strain. The road, as a whole,
is a great experiment conducted by the
most competent engineers to demon
strate the most practical things.

of the National league to send Hank a
contract.
Tener hesitated last season before
he signed O'Day. but he did this be-
cause his list was complete and he
did not deem 1t justice to dispose Of a
man who was delivering satisfactorily.
The chance came when Quigley was
sick. Bill Hart retired and then O'Day
was put back on the staff.
Ball players in the National league
say that O'Day was the cleverest UNI.
pire in the league, not because of his
ability to call balls and strikes, but
because he knew how to handle the
men. He has had less trouble than
any official of the National league and
it is due to the fact that he knows
how to quell the sudden outbursts of
wrath that come through close de
cisions.
