plete it should be uniform in grade
and cross section. If depressipns oc-
cur under the roller they should be
corrected by adding gravel and con-
tinuing the rolling, and this should be
kept up until no depressions or APP
probable waves are produced by the
roller in moving back and forth over
the surface.
Z. After the road is opened to traf-
fic it should be watched very careful
ly for several months and all defects
which develop should be corrected i'm
mediately. The work of maintaining
the road until the surface no longer
picks up" or ravels under traffic
should be considered an essential fea-
ture of the construction. When traffic
is depended upon to compact the gray
ell, much dragging usually is neces-
sary in order to secure Il smooth, well
bonded surface. In fact, the cost of
dragging, under such conditions, fire.
Quently may exceed the cost of secur-
ing a well-bonded surface by means
of rolling.
The construction method described
above is modified quite frequently by
emitting the subgrade trench and the
rolling. The practice followed in many
localities is simply to grade up the
roadbed and heap gravel along the
central portion. Traffic is then de-
pended upon to spread and compact
the gravel and produce a uniform sur
face. While some of the roads con-
structed in this way are great improve
ments over the original earth roads
they are nearly always crowned too
much for comfortable driving, and sell
dom wear as well as when the more
careful method of construction is fol
lowed. II is believed, therefore. that
in the long run it usually pays to en-
ploy a trenched subgrade and to com
pact the surface by rolling, though a
possible exception to the economy Of
a trenched subgrade may exist where
good gravel may be obtained very
cheap. In this case it may he cheaper
to surface the entire roadway than TO
incur the additional expense Of trench
ing and constructing earth shoulders.

loads are dumped all in one spot and
spread later with shovels, as is done
Frequently, it is very difficult to secure
uniform density of the surface crust
by subsequent narrowing and rolling.
The spots where the loads are dumped
nearly always will be more densely
compacted than the areas between,
and, as result uneven settlement
will develop soon.
.. The gravel should be spread in
two or more courses, and the thickness
Of the different courses should be APP
proximately the same, except that
the first course may be made some
what thicker than the succeeding
courses, because, in general, thicker
layer of gravel may be compacted on
the subgrade than when spread over
a layer of gravel already compacted.
1t usually is impracticable to have the
compacted thickness of any course
greater than about s inches, and quite
frequently Or inches is as much as
can be compacted satisfactorily at one
time.
8. After each course of gravel is
spread it should be narrowed with
tooth harrow until the various skies
of particles and the binder or cement
ing material are distributed thoroughly
through the mass. Then it should be
compacted by rolling with a power
roller weighing about 10 tons, or by
means of traffic. Where a roller is en-
ployed the rolling should be continued
until the particles of gravel are all
well bonded together and the surface
presents a smooth, uniform appear
ance. When completed, the surface
of each course should be so firm and
unyielding that it viii not be disturbed
in any way by subsequent traffic.
4. Where it is necessary to add
sand or clay to the gravel in order to
fill the voids, it should be done after
each course is spread and before it is
narrowed, except that with some kinds
of gravel it may be permissible to add
a limited amount of fine material to
the surface of the top course after the
narrowing is completed and the rolling
is in progress.
8. Where the binder consists of some
material other than clay, it may
be desirable to sprinkle each course
with water while it is being rolled, and
even where clay is used as a binder a
small amount Of sprinkling may be
necessary in dry weather in order to
secure a satisfactory bond. The
sprinkling always should be done uni
formly and in such quantities as not
to wash the fine material out from the
gravel or to sof y the subgrade.

HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED
Increase In United States Revealed by
Census Taken by National Com
mittee for Mental Hygiene.

Insanity in the United States is de-
cidedly on the increase. This fact is
revealed by reason of census taken
of the insane, feebleminded. epileptics,
inebriates and drug addicts by the
National Committee for Mental Ey-
giene. Analysis of this census is found
in the Mental Hygiene. 1t was com
piled by Horatio NJ. Pollack, statistici-
an Of the New York State Hospital
commission, and Edith NJ. Furbush,
statistician of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene.
The federal census bureau estimates
that the increase of population from
April 10, 1910, to January |, 1917 was
11S0 per cent. The same government
agency found In 1910 that the number
of insane in institutions was 1S7191.
The census taken In the present year
revealed 234,055 insane persons In In
situations. Thus the increase in the
insane in institutions during the CORE
spending period was 24.64 per cent, a
growth more than double that of the
general population.
Moreover, the rate of increase Of the
insane In institutions was relatively
greater than that Of the general popu-
lation in every state except Arizona,
Kansas, Mississippi, Nevada and South
Carolina. Illinois is one Of the states
In which the disparity between growth
Of population and increase in insan-
fly has been greatest. In this State
the population increase was 9.8i per
cent, rs compared with a percentage
of increase of insane in Institutions of
273S. The neighboring state of Indi-
ana shows an even greater disparity,
with percentages Of AGA and 27.44 re-
spectively.

Figure 1 shows a typical cross sec
ton for gravel-road surface and ir~
dicates the customary steps involved
In the construction of such a surface
The limiting thicknesses shown on this
cross section are by no means followed
universally, but are believed to repre-
sent the best current practice. The
minimum thickness shown is supposed
to be employed where the traffic is
light and the subgrade is uniformly
stable, while the maximum thickness
is adapted for opposite conditions:
Perhaps the most usual compacted
thickness of surface is eight inches at
the center and six inches at the edges.
The difference in thickness between
the edges and center is effected by
making the crown of the subgrade fat
ter than that of the surface.
The construction of a gravel road
usually is divided into two entirely dis
tinct classes of work. The work of
grading and preparing the subgrade
falls into one class, and that of haul
ing, spreading and compacting the
gravel into the other. The first class
of work has been discussed at consid-
cradle length in connection with earth
and sand-clay roads, but since it is
desired to emphasize certain features
of subgrade preparation that are of
increased Importance in connection
with gravel-road construction, both
classes of work will be considered in
the following discussion:
Preparation of the Suberade.
In grading the roadbed and prepar-
ing the subgrade for a gravel surface,
it should be borne in mind also that
the more expensive a road surface, the
greater should be the care exercised
to prevent it from being damaged

LIMBS MADE OF CARDBOARD
Artificial Leg, Invented by Danish Doc
tor, Enables Wearer 20 Walk Soon
After Amputation.

A Danish doctor at a hospital in
Paris has invented a cardboard leg
which enables the wearer to go about
without clutches two days after his
hmb has been amputated.
The materials used are two sheets
OF cardboard about three-sixteenth of
an inch thick, and bandages soaked in
starch solution. After careful meas
urements have been taken the card
board is cut into what looks like two
peg-tops, which after being soaked in
The bath fold round each other and are
secured with bandages.
The principle is that of an egg in a
cup, and the patient can wear the leg
long before the wound is completely
healed. He can thus get air and exer-
cSe' which it is usually impossible to
OBTAIN at this phase of his GONZALES
cehce; also he has to suffer none of
the inconvenience of clutches, a stick
SHilcing for his needs. The leg. prop
erly treated, lasts from six months to
year, by which time a permanent
aruhcial limb is ready to be fitted.

through settlement or upheaval of the
subgrade, and the greater should be
the accuracy with which the subgrade
is constructed, so that no unnecessary
surfacing material may be required TO
correct irregularities in grade and
cross section. No matter what the soil
conditions may be, the subgrade for a
gravel road surface, when completed,
should conform closely in grade and
cross section with the requirements
of the plans and should present an
even, uniform appearance. Also, it
should be as firm and unyielding as
tie conditions will permit.
Some of the most important details
recurring careful attention in prepar-
ing the subgrade, and which are per-
haps most frequently overlooked, are
"a backfilling culvert trenches so as
to prevent subsequent settlement, CD
exclusion of vegetable matter from
fills, (3) provision for draining wet
weather springs which occur in the
subgrade, and az the matter of thor
oughly loosening and distributing the
materials contained in old road crustS.
After the roadbed has been graded
and drained properly, and the details
mentioned above have received proper
attention, the work of preparing the
subgrade consists simply in forming a
trench, as shown in figure /, to receive
the gravel surface. The trench may be
formed largely with a grading ma
chine, but the final shaping should be
effected by means of picks ana shovels
and rolling. 1t is customary to provide
grade stakes at intervals of about 80
feet, to serve as a guide for the pick
and shovel work, and where extreme
accuracy is desired cords may be
stretched between the stakes to insure
that the subgrade conforms to the
required grade throughout. The roll
ing is done ordinarily with a power
roller weighing about ten tons.
In orc ar that the subgrade may be
we'll drained during The process Of
spreading and compacting the gravel
it is frequently necessary to provide
shoulder drains at comparatively short
intervals. Such drains are constructed
by opening small bitches through the
shoulders and partially filling them
with gravel.
The Gravel Surface.
The principal precautions to observe
In constructing gravel road surface,
after the subgrade is prepared, may be
commented upon briefly as follows:
1. The gravel should be delivered
on the work in wagons or cars espe-
cially adapted for spreading each load
uniformly over that part Of the sub
grade for which 1t is inteAded. Where
