Counties or communities intending

which experience has shown To be
most essential to the endurance of n
road. In u recent technical paper de-
signed To assist engineers in making
accurate laboratory tests of road ma

qualities as follows:
Hardness is the property n 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.
"Toughncss is the property 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 n rock should
possess or develop by contact with wa

rock fragments together and prevent

The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-02-04

From the Chicago Tribune
 The Harvard Lampoon, in common with a number of our other comic and satirical journals exhibits distaste for wrist watches. watch strapped to the wrist is in it's eyes the logical concomi- tant of the smell of perfume, an incon- sequent waxed mustache, a silk hand kerchief up the sleeve, embroidered B. V. D.'s, and the other trappings of the male in competition with the female, As likely as not the wearer of a wrist watch has his toenails polished He is at all events thing to be squashed or brushed aside as an insult to mascu- Unity.
 We do not suppose that upon reading these journals the wearers of wrist watches drowned themselves immediate ly. We know, as a matter of fact, that they have neither drowned themselves nor taken poison. If they had we should have heard of it. For fortunately they are not the kind to be much disturbed by gibes of this sort. They are for the most part officers in our army and our navy, polo players, hunters, men who are too active to be digging into vest pockets to know the time. Instead of | things, or a fob lettered with a large "H,' or e." or "Y," as many of the | superbly masculine college students ' have done in the past, they fasten their | timepieces securely to themselves i But we cannot help feeling that for 1 the general run of men the old fashioned watch and chain or watch and fob is
 more fitting. For the macaroni, given
 to loud ties and highballs and intrigues 1 with chorus ladies, a greater display
 of wealth is made possible. He has a cigar cutter or perhaps a gold lead
 pencil, on the other end of the chain | The watch case is a convenient reposi- tory for a lock of hair or a photograph His watch does not have to be fastened
 to him securely. His motions are slow
 and graceful, and even in the jostlings l of the fox trot his timepiece is not likely to fall from his pocket.
 | For the business man or for the
 drummer the watch is an indication of financial standing. A great fraternity seal may blaze nicely from the chain The scholar finds in it a Justification for exhibiting his insignia of learning The professional man creates an ar
 tistic break in the broad and bulbous eXpanse of waistcoat which years have brought him.
 | But we are agreed With the comic journals on one point. No one should wear wrist watch who does not lool,
 as if he could knock down any one lcaught laughing at him. It is the sign of the strong.

THE CHURCH BACK HOME

Jones and Sam Small who spent their cities; Billy Sunday following in their footsteps; Frank w. Gunsaulus, the great preacher of Chicago; Washington Glad den of Columbus, O.; Charles David Will Hams, Episcopal bishop of Michigan; Bishop William A. Quayle of the Meth odist church; William J. Williamson, the eminent Baptist clergyman of St. Louis, all of them and thousands more in the same work trained in the little country church.
 So it is with many of the biggest men of business, the captains of industry. See Edward IT. Hartman, the railway magnate, giving new church of stone to replace the little wooden church. where he worshipped as a boy in a New York village, and buried at last in it's shadow. Back home to the little church lions of dollars then. Just one request to those who bend low to catch the last message: Bury me on the sunny side of the little church back home.'
 Back home. The lessons learned in the little church there; the memories that cluster around it: those are the things that have kept so many on the right track, that have made life most worth living for such a great number after all How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning,
 To list to the clear ringing bell,
 Its tones, so Sweetly are calling;
 Oh. come to the church in the dell
