through settlement or upheaval of the
subgrade, and the greater should be
the accuracy with which the subgrade
is constructed, so that no unnecessary
surfaclng 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
the conditions will permit.
Some of the most important details
requiring careful attention in pFepar-
ing the %subgrade, and which are per-
haps most frequently overlooked, are
~ backfling culvert trenches so as
to prevent subsequent settlement, (2)
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 1, to receive
the gravel surface. The trench may be
formed largely with a grading ma
chine, but the final shaping should be
effected by mean Of picks and shOvels
and rolling. II is customary to provide
grade stakes at intervals of about 90
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 order that the subgrade may be
well drained during the process OF
spreading and compacting the gravel
It is frequently necessary to provide
shoulder drains at comparatively shOr
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 a 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-
clally adapted for spreading each load
Uniformly over that part of the sub
rade for which II Is intended. Where

ADJUSTMENTS AT LOCAL
PLAYHOUSES TONIGHT
-.A.t At [. & S. Tonight.

"The Fugitive" thrilling detec.
tive drama, featuring beautiful Flor.
ence La Badie, will be seen at the
IL. S. Theatre tonight.
Florence La Badie, in the title role
in order to save her sister from
prison, takes upon herself suspicion
for crime committed by the other
girl in defense of her honor. This
relentless strength of the long arm OF
the law is shown when luck plays
into the hands of the police inspector
after a number of years.
The girl has gone west, has fallen
in love and married. Her husband is
successful and she is ideally happy
The past is almost forgotten. Her
husband (Robert Vaughn) is called
to New York on business. At the
Pennsylvania station his pocket is
picked. The man who stole his watch
lis arrested on suspicion by detectives
and taken to police headquarters.
There a search reveals the watch
in the back of which is a picture o.
the heroine. A few moments latel
the husband arrives to claim his prop
Ierty. The inspector learns his name
and address, and discovers that the
girl is his wife He wires to hel
to come to New York, as her husband
lis i'll. She does so and is arrested
Thus the story is developed to a pow
erful climax. Does she escape? L
so, how? That is the question au

SAYS OF ''THE CRISIS

Guy Price, in the Los Angeles Her
aid, says:
"There is so much in "The Crisis
that appeals and so little that de-
tracts from the interest that after
witnessing the big Selig photodrama
spectacle at the Majestic am prompt
ed to recommend it to every film
fan who is particular in his taste for
motion pictures. And, aside from its
remarkable historical value, the film
presents some wonderful pho
tography.
"The story deals with the events
preceding the Civil war and the scenes
for the picture were photographed
on 1he identical spots around which
the fiction was written. St. Louis
and Vicksburg figure largely in the
play.
