Definition OF ROAD TERMS
List Of Technical Names Taken From
the Program Of the Canadian
Good Roads. Congress.

With the progress Of road building
there has come into use a number OF
terms more or less technical, but
which should be well known. The fol.
lowing list is from the program Of the
Canadian Good Roads congress:
Aggregate.-The mineral material.
such as sand, gravel, shells, Stag, or
broken stone, or combinations thereof,
with which the cement or the bltumin-
Gus material is mixed to form q NOR.
tar or concrete. Fine aggregate may
be considered as the mineral inert ma.
terial which will pass a One-fourth-
inch screen, and coarse aggregate the
material which will not pass a ne-
f%Ourth-inch screen.
Binder.-U) A foreign or fine mate.
rial introduced into the mineral por.
ton of the wearing surface for the
purpose of assisting the road material
to retain its integrity under stress, al
well as, perhaps, to aid In its first
construction. (2) The course. in a
sheet asphalt pavement. frequently
used between the concrete foundation
and the sheet asphalt mixture of
graded sand and asphalt cement.
BOnd.-The combined action Of in
ertia, friction, and Of the forces Of
adhesion and cohesion which helps the
separate particles composing a crust
or pavement to resist separation under
stress. Mechanical bond Is the bond
produced almost wholly In a well.built
b~roken-stone macadam road, by the
interlocking Of angular fragments Of
stone and the subsequent filling Of the
remaining interstices with the finer
particles.
Water-Bound.-Bonded with the aid
Of water.
Cement.-An adhesive substance
used for uniting particles of other ma
terials to each other. Ordinarily ap-
piled only to calcined cement rock"
Or to artiflcially prepared calcined
and ground mixtures Of limestone and
silicious materials. Sometimes used to
designate bituminous binder used In
bituminous pavements, when the Z
preston "bitumlnous cement" "a. w.
Is understood to be meant.
Cement Concrete.-An intimate mix
ture Of gravel. shell. Stag or broken
stone particles with certain proper
lions Of sand or similar material, CO.
ment and water, made previous to
placing.
Course.-One or more layers Of road
material spread and compacted sepa-
rately for the formation Of the road or
pavement. Courses are usually re-
ferred to in the order Of their laying,
as first course, second course, third
course. etc. Also a single row Of
blocks In q pavement.
Crown.-The rise In cross-section
from the lowest to the highest part of
the finished roadway. It may be ex-
pressed either AZ so many inches Tor
tenths Of q foot), Or as q rate per foot
Of distance from side to center, that
IL, "the crown Is four inches" or the
crown is 'one-half inch to the foot"

CAUSE AND CURE OF CRAMPS
Too High Blood Pressure Frequently
Brings Them on-Removed by
Vigorous Rubbing.

In this article we shall discuss only
the local muscular spasms that affect
most commonly the calves of the legs.
but that sometimes occur in the thighs,
the arms or the wall Of the abdomen.
Internal cramps, or collie, swimmers
cramp and writer's cramp are affec'
lions of an entirely different nature.
A cramp, in this restricted sense, Is
n sudden, painful and very strong con-
traction Of a small part Of a muscle;
1t does not usually aus any move
ment in the effected limb, for to do
that n contraction Of nearly the entire
muscle is necessary, and then we have
what Is called a spasm. or n cOnvul-
sion.
The contraction Is involuntary. al
though persons who are subject to
cramps sometimes bring them on by a
voluntary movement, such as stretch
ing. The early-morning cramp Is Of
ten brought On by the stretching to
which one Is prone on awaking. Very
commonly the cramp on during
sleep. and the intense pain awakens
the sufferer with a start. The affected
part of the muscle forms II hard knot.
and If a large part of the muscle is
involved the limb may be drawn up.
Children and the aged suffer more
often with cramps than do persons In
middle life. In children the cause Is
usually violent exercise, such as rum
ming and jumping, but in the elderly
Il tendency to cramps Is often caused
by inclpIent hardening of the arteries.
When the blood pressure Is high.
cramps often occur, but they cease to
trouble IL the pressure Is reduced.
Persons who are rheumatic and equity
are especially liable to be attacked by
cramps-very likely because hardening
of the arteries accompanies their con-
stitutiOnal disposition.
The treatment of n single cramp OF
the calf Is very simple: stand on tip
toe in such n way as to stretch the
calf muscle and Mt the same time rub
the place where the contraction has
occurred. That will put an end to
the attack promptly. If the attacks
recur frequently, there is probably
some constitutional fault that needs
correction. and the sufferer should con-
suit his physlcian.-YOuth's Compan'

Side View Of Road.Makins Machine.

roads are difficult to make, the gen.
eral object being the provision Of a
machine movable along a selected
roadway site, capable of the formation
Of wheel tracks in the course Of Its
movement. A further object is to pro-
vide a machine capable of ready ad-
justment and interchange of parts for
other purposes; for instance, 1t can be
