be surfaced should be trenched out
with the grading machine to receive
the surfacing material. The surfacing
material should be spread to such
depth that it will be at least eight
inches thick at the center when COM
pacted.
Case 4.-Where 1t is necessary to
bring the sand and clay on the road
separately and mix them in place, the
method employed should be a combi-
nation of the methods already de-
scribed. That is, a trench should DO
formed with the grading machine to
receive the bottom layer Of material,
which may be either the sand or the
clay, and the top layer should then be
spread and the mixing done as de-
scribed in Case l or Case 2. The
depths Of the respective layers should
be such as to secure completed sur
face at least eight inches thick, and
| the proportions should be fixed In the
manner already described in discussing
the other cases.

road, and heavy vehicles using the
edge Of the surface are liable to break
through the surfacing material.
az In constructing sand-clay sur
face, the two constituent materials
should be thoroughly and intimately
mixed together in all cases. In max
ing artificial mixtures, therefore, much
blowing and narrowing are required.
90 No matter what method Is fol-
lowed in constructing sand-clay sur
face, traffic usually must be depended
upon to puddle and compact the sur
facing material, and the road never
should be considered complete until
after it has been subjected to traffic
for considerable period. During this
period the surface should be kept in
shape by repeated dragging, and If
necessary additional sand or clay
should be supplied at points which
show weakness owing to these ma
terials not having been mixed in proper
proportions.
Other features of the construction
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1917-10-19

can best be described separately for
each of the four sets Of conditions
above.
Case Ito construct sand-clay
surface by admixing clay with sand
from the roadbed, first grade the road
bed in the manner already described
for earth-bed construction, but keep
the crown fiat on the portion to be-
surfaced. Then spread clay over that
part of the roadway which the sur.
face is to cover, to such depth that,
when it Is mixed with the sand Of the
roadbed. surface about eight inches
thick, after compacting, will be OBJ
tanned. The loose depth Of clay neces-
sary to secure a finished surface eight
inches thick usually will vary from
four inches to six inches, according to
the amount of sand the clay contains.
After the clay has been spread, pillow
I'D sand from beneath in sufficient
quantity to make the net proportion
Of sand to clay about 2 to 1. Ordinari-
ly the pillow burrows should extend
down into the sand from four to six
inches, depending on the compactness
of the roadbed and the amount Of sand
originally present in the clay. But
it is better to have too little than too
much sand, because it is easier to add
sand from the roadbed than to haul
additional clay. Next harrow the sur
face with disk harrow. Repeat the
operations of blowing and narrowing
until the sand and clay are mixed thor
oughly and uniformly. Then shape up
the surface with grading machine or
road drag and permit traffic upon it.
After the first soaking rain, pillow and
harrow the surface again until the
surfacing material practically becomes
mud, after which shape up the surface
and keep it in shape by repeated drag
ging until it has dried out and is
thoroughly compacted. Watch the road
carefully for several months after it

The proper method to employ in
constructing sand-clay road surface
depends on the conditions to be met.
In general, there are four distinct sets
Of conditions, all of which may occur
in the same locality, or even on diff
ferent sections of the same road.
These are:
Case 1, where the original roadbed
is sandy and 1t is desired to construct
the surface by admixing clay;
Case 2, where the original roadbed
Is composed of clay and it is desired
to construct the surface by admixing
sand;
Case 8, where it is desired to con-
struct the surface Of topsoil or other
natural sand-clay mixture without adj
mixing any of the roadbed material;
Case 4, where 1t is desired to supply
the clay and sand separately and mix
the two materials together in place to
form the surface.

Aliens in War

As the examinations by the exemption boards pro- ceed disclosing large percentage of physically unfit, and such a vast volume of claims for exemp- tions becomes apparent that the number of soldiers be raised under the conscription will be much smaller than expected, though perhaps compara- lively of the exemption claims will be allowed and though the physical examinations have been made less rigid.
 In consequence there is growing popular agita- ton in favor of doing something with the alien popu laton Perhaps the government had that question in mind when the conscription act made to include
 provision for the registration of the aliens and there then in contemplation a probability that they might time and in way be brought into service.
 It has never been the practice in modern warfare enroll aliens in a national army. But there never before such war In every other war all the aliens in any country have been either enemy aliens neutral aliens It would be exceedingly improper enroll the latter and would be impolitic well improper enroll the former. In this there comparatively few neutral aliens in country. There is much reason why French. British Rus sian, Serbian, Rumanan, Italian, Portugese, Jap Chinese subjects the subjects other tions with the Central Powers resident this country. should be in the war, as that American ct- should be in it. It is therefore argued that all such aliens of registration age should either be drafted into national army the terms American citizens should be turned over to their respective countries to be impressed into service.
 The disposition of enemy aliens would present greater difficulties. No doubt they badly at home. They could be and should not be inn pressed into service against their countrymen but the novel suggestion has been offered that arrange ment could be made for exchange them for American entente prisoners in the hands of the Central Powers.
 The question in this country of aliens in is a much serious matter than in any other country there many of them. The aliens of registration constitute about Is per the total regstra tion.
