ENGINEER JAUDON DISCUSSES WEARING
QUALITIES OF SHEET ASPHALT

Fsiderably less than that specified il
Polk County Specifications or in til,
Sheet Asphalt pavement. The result
is that instead of getting a dense
mixture you get comparatively loos,
and open mixture. which allows mois
ture and other injurious matter to en-
ter the pavement, which of q necessi
ty must be injurious to it.
The Pavement Specification fol
Polk county is generally considered by
the majority of engineering authorities
TO be higher type of pavement than
the pavement now laid on the streets
in Barlow. Sheet Asphalt pavement,
such as is specified for the roads, has
proven its durability and economy. It
is the oldest of the modern pavements,
and has been, and is being continual
ly laid in all climates from Canada to
Mexico. Florida furnishes an ideal
climate for the Sheet Asphalt pave
ment for the reason that the range in
Temperature from an extreme heat to
an extreme cold is less than in the
northern states and Canada, hence the
expansion and contraction of the pave
ment will be very much less than in
climates where these extremes prevail.
There are Asphalt streets in Washing
ton. Philadelphia and other points that
have been down for over thirty years
and very little or practically no re-
pairs, so it tbs only fair to assume that

points where heavy traffic maintains
and where climatic conditions are very
much less favorable that q pavement
of this type will prove highly salts.

The maintenance on these roads built
unuder these specifications should be
almost nothing. AS stated above
sheet Asphalt pavements are probably
the oldest of modern pavements now
in use and there was probably laid
in the year 1915 more pavements OF
this type than any other single type
of high class pavements. This is
probably due to the fact that the first

ment is extremely economical to main.
tain. An economical pavement is one
in which the first cost is reasoable and
one that will last for a great many
years after its completion without any
maintenance expense and in future
when maintenance may be required
this maintenance cost shall be small
These features have made this type
popular where engineers and officials
have had the longest and largest ex
perience with the different types and
classes of pavement"
This subject will be further dis
cussed for the information of the vot.
ers, as 1t relates to comparative costs
of asphalt as laid in other places, and
those who are seeking information
are asked to watch these columns from
time to time.

Frames made of fine silk-covered
wire are used for wide-brimmed hats.
but for smaller hats a few shapes have
been made of the narrower braids
without any wire support. They are
pliable. but one edge of the braid is
corded and is wiry enough to be used
instead OF wire when the model is
narrow brimmed. These are made in
white and pale tints.
In black. the best effects are made
by combining the lace braid with black
malines. Black paradise feathers or
ornaments of malines are chosen for
such models, and they are most beau-
tiful In all black. The hair braid is
highly lustrous and this luster seems
more conspicuous in black than in
white or colors.
Lace hair braid is made up into
