Others" is often the wording of an
official communique from the front in
France.
How to do that little trick Is being
taght In the radio scabol OF the coast
artillery here. Graduates of this school
are trained to show the men firing the
heavy or light American guns placed
several hundred yards behind the fight
ing line how to shell and destroy
enemy batteries bridges, railroad CEN
tiers, storehouses. massed bodies OF
troops and all the other resources so
necessary and vital to the enemy.
In this work the Americans in France
have won high commentator from
French as well as American comman-
ders. To accomplish, this there must
be accurate observation, correct trans
mission of the information back to the
artillery headquarters, calculation of
the range and direction at which to set
the guns; and the rest Is simple. ..
Observations far behind the enemy
lines are made by airplane. The aerial
observer has a wireless sending set,
and back near headquarters there is a
radio sergeant with wireless recefv-
ing set. AS son as message Is re-
ceived at headquarters it is telephoned
to all batteries firing or about to fire
on that target.
Telephone lines connect each battery
with its headquarters and each head
quarters with the next higher in the
chain of command. These TELEPHONE
lines have ben constructed and are
maintained under all difficulties en-
countered in modern warfare by the
electrician sergeants. These aectri-
clan sergeants also operate the search
lights that are used in night operations
of all kinds against hostile aircraft
nd bodies of troops.
Every time gun is shifted its loca-
ton on the map must be accurately
determined by survey and triangula-
ton. 1t takes specialist to do it and

Actor Ready To

Earle Williams, Vitagraph Star,
is intensely patriotic and has "done
his bit" in many quiet ways. His
attitude toward enlistment is best
given in the following brief state
ment made by himself in response
to numerous Inquiries:
81 am not of draft age and i'll
ness has, | believe, made me unfit
for active military service. How
ever, if the time comes when the
call is issued for men situated as

regret, as any man would, to leave
his mother.

ance driver or handling motor cars

capacity my services are at the

strongest roles as co-star with

The question of joints seems to
be one that has demanded consid-
cradle attention and it is now al
most the general method to place
joint only at closing of work for the
day, or no joint at all. Many ex-
periments have been carried out by
connecting each days work into
one large slab without limit to
it's lengths. While no bad effects
have resulted from this, it does
not, however, mean that transverse
cracks are enlimited entirely. IN
as much as it seems practically i'm
possible to eliminate entirely these
| transverse cracks it is considered
good practice to so regulate and
the pavement by placing a blind
wooden joint underneath the sur
face at intervals from so to 200
feet apart. This regulates the To-
cation of the transverse cracks to
certain extent, and makes pos
sible straight line crack instead
of one irregular. AS a word OF
caution, there is a danger of not
getting the wooden joints vertical

State Highway Commis-
sioner Talks On Roads

Charles M. Upham, chief engl-
neer for the State Highway Com
mission, who to have attended the
convention of the American Road |
Builders Association in st. Louis,
Mo-, last week but at the last MIN
ute he found that he would be un-
able to attend. He had prepared
a paper to read at the convention
on the subject, New Features IN
the Design and Construction OF
Bituminous. Roads and Treatment
and Cement Concrete Roads and
Pavements," and by arrangement
with the president of the assocla-
ton this paper was read during the
convention. A brief resume of the
parts of this paper of particular
interest to the public, especially as
it pertains to new features in the
construction of concrete roads be-
cause surface has been used on the
Coleman Dupont Road and other
highways of the State, is as fol-
lows:
In concrete road construction,
several new features have been de-
vised in the last few years. Prob
ably the one that is now demand-
ing the widest attention is the use
of hand roller in the finishing
concrete, but it is stated that 1t
also takes out the short waves that
cause considerable vibration to
traffic in passing over the pave
ment.
In riding over concrete roads 1t
has been found sometimes that
there is considerable vibration OF
unevenness. This is serious OBJ
lection which should and can be
overcome. On the roads that have
been constructed for some t'H1e a
good part of this was due undouot-
edlv to the fact that sufficient care
was not taken in finishing. 1t mas
heen found that with extreme care
with the template and IN hano
floating that there are still numer-
ous waves in the concrete surface
and it is stated that it is practlcal'
, " impossible to get rid TO thls
After experimenting with various
finishes, it has been found that the
, smoothness and evenness OF the
surface is practically in proportioi
r with the condition of the slds
forms. A form that keeps a true
f alignment and is not easily pen
! and can be kept in straight line
, is the one that will produce tn
smoothest pavement. 1t would IN
deed be a new feature to produc'
form that will stand up and re
main in good condition under tn
Y handling given by the conductor.
