not obviate the necessity for using 81
nonslaking material in the lower por-
ton of the embankment.
Where entertainments are constructed
on very sloping ground, or where old
embellishments are to be widened, there
always is tendency for the new mate
rial to slip along the plane of separa-
ton. In such cases the old surface
should be roughened before the new
material is deposited. Where the old
surface is earth, 1t usually can be
roughened sufficiently by blowing q
series of rather deep burrows about
two feet apart. Old rock surfaces or
dinarily are fairly rough TO begin with.
but to prevent slipping 1t may be neces-
sary In some cases to blast steps into
such surfaces before depositing en-
bankment material.
No matter how the grading of an
earth road may be accomplished It
usually Is economical to bring the road
surface to its final shape by means of
grading machine. In making exca-
vatiOns It is not generally considered
practicable to form the crown and side
bitches with scrapers or hand tools
alone, and the cross section fl, there
fore, frequently left approximately fat.
The grading machine Is then used, In
the manner already described, to pro
duce the required cross section.
After the road has been finished with
the grading machine, 1t should be given
frequent attention until the embank-
ments have finished settling and the
surface has become thoroughly COM
pacted BY the action Of traffic. Usually
period OF several months should
elapse after road Is graded before It
is considered complete, and such settle
ments and irregularities as develop
during this period should be corrected
by the use,of either grading machine
or road drag.
Construction Costa.
Aside from drainage structures, the
principal item of cost attached to the
construction of an earth road lis for the
grading. The cost of grading varies
greatly, according to the condition Of
the weather, the nature of the material
to be excavated, the efficiency of labor,
teams and machinery, ETC., and seldom
can be estimated In advance with any
great degree of accuracy. On this ac-
count average costs based on past ex-
perience may be very misleading when
applied TO a particular project.
The first step In estimating the cost
of grading given road is TO ascertain
the quantities Of work to be done. After
the quantities have been determined
the cost may be estimated In either OF
two ways. First, the organization for
carrying on the work may be planned
In detail and the estimate arrived at
by considering the cost Of maintaining
saesl an organization. together with the
rate at which 1t may reasonably be ex.
pected to accomplish the work. Sec
ond. the cost per cubic yard tor exea-
walton ana the cost per mile for
shaping the roadway may be estimated
at fat rates. The first method Is the
most accurate, though the latter Is the
enc employed most frequently.

The Sadness OF Spanking

Frank Keenan, had one of the hardest
tasks ever allotted to him during the maxi
ing of the picture play, "The Crab" In
which he is co-starred with Thelma Salter
on the Triangle program, at the Arcadia
the first half of next week. The play was
made at the Thomas II. Ince studios and
directed by Walter Edwards. In the pic
ture there is a scene where keenan,, as the
harsh old guardian of the child has to ad-,
minister a whipping, her punishment for
having made a paper-doll out of photo
graph of his dead wife. Even such a
hard old customer as Keenan, represents
could not be expected to give very much of
q whipping to little Thelma, who believes
that il the old gentleman wants to whip her
ii must be all right for him to do so.
1t was finally decided by Director Ed
wards and Author Sullivan that a SWITCH
ing on Thelmas upturned palm would be
all that the old man could be expected to
administer. So Thelma got a switch from
a tree. as the story calls for her to do, and
gave IL to Keenan, after which she held up
her hand TO him. keenan, refused to bring
the switch down with any force upon Thel-
mas hand Director Edwards called out.
'Hardefl Harder That doesn't look like a
whipping" Keenan, looked at Edwards. at
Thelma and then at the switch. ut can't
be DONE" he replied But Thelma chimed
in. ."oh. go ahead. Mr. Keenan," she urged,
1T doesn't really hurt hardly at ALL" Which
being the case Keenap laid ON little
harder. Z. Z. II

SHE'S A BLOSSOM
ON THE RAGTIME
BUSH

The creation of ragtme according to
learned doctors who have spent a lot of
good time tracing syncopated melody back
TO It's birth, occurred many years before the
present generation of music lovers, but
only in recent years has 1t become popular.
Blossom Seeley, widely known vaude-
Vile star and noted for her ability to sing
ragtlme claims the distinction of being the
hrst syncopated singer of sufficient artistic
merit to blend harmonousy with the sur
roundings Of a two-dolar show. She has
continued among the stars of the theatre
ever since.
Miss Seeley can be quoted as being COM
pletely welded to syncopated music. She
prefers it to the highest grade of classical
music. although she had a good musical
education and studied long and hard to ac-
complish her end before she entered vaude-
VILE as ragtime vocalist.
In private life she is the wife of "Rube"
Marquard the star left-hand pitcher of the
Brooklyn team, champions of the Ma
tional League. For more than two seasons
Miss Seeley and her husband teamed in
vaudeville, the fact that he was called "the
$1,000 beauty of baseball" being an asset
which induced her to try to make an actor
out of the diamond star. They both learned
however, that baseball and the stage did
not mix to advantage and when ''Rube" was
sold to Brooklyn by McGraw, he decided to
give his entire attention to baseball and
permit his wife to hold up the family name
on the stage.
The 'Todolo Girl" as Miss Seeley Is
known on the stage, mas always been
identited as single singer" in the two
a-day, but this season she has blossomed
ono pun) out as producer and is supported
by a, company made up of Bill Bailey
pianist and Lynn Cowan n banjoist
Both are musicians, both are exponents of
ragtime, and so are in harmony with Miss
Seeley Their offering is called "Seeley's
Syncopated Studio" 1t comes to Keth's
