are forced to turn out of the main
roadway. During the last year about
SiA miles of such pavement were put
down in the county.
Mr. McClintoclI holds that this type
OF construction is desirable where q
substantial base is already in place, as
In the case of an old gravel or ma
cadam road which is not worn out or
base can be constructed at low cost.
The vitrified blocks are often laid by
unskilled labor, properly supervised,
with entirely satisfactory results.
Another type OF small-block pave
ment was recently laid on the Morris
town turnpike in New Jersey, which
carries heavy traffic. There is a sec
ton of this road about 1000 feet long
having z per cent grade, where it
was decided to try small granite
blocks in the hope that their numerous
joints would reduce the tendency to
slip and skid on this rather steep
slope. The blocks are to finch cubes
and were laid on a thin foundation.
They were not laid in rows but
In curved lines, forming a mosaic pat
tern, and the joints were filed with
fine stone and a grout of cement and
sand.

LIKE AJAX AND ACHILLES
Individual rrowess in This War Counts
for as Much as II Did in Days
Of Ancient Greece.

Individual prowess counts for as
much as IL did i'm the days of ancient
Greece. Waldemar Kaempffert writes
i'm McClure's. Names will stand out in
the history OF this war like those of
Ajax and Achilles I'm the epic of Ho-
mer. LieutenantS Immelmnnn and
Boelke on the German side haOve
brought down nine and ten adversaries
in mortal combat. Their exploits are
unged with chlvalric glamour which
seems anything but modern.
When Boelke landed To aid IN enemy
whom he had wounded he was greeted
with the comment: "Since it is Inn
melmann who beat me. am satisfied"
When the German replied that IL was
"only Boelke." the interchange of COM
pliments seemed like parley between
Hector and Ajax.
The analogy between Homer's battles
and twentieth century aerial combats
extends even to the vehicles used.
What is a flying machine hut the AN
