money she had smuggled out of New

ney OF Oregon. 1t consists Of Il har-
rOw-llke frame suspended from a
crosswise shaft pivoted to the chassis
frame directly back of the engine and
lowered into contact with the road by
means Of n system of levers controlled
by a hand lever and notched quad
rant In the drivers cab. The sharp,
tooth-like points Of the harrow dig In
to the ground and hold the ear In
place until the engine can be started
again and the clutch thrown In. They
also serve to hold the ear until It gets
under way. This eliminates the dan
ger of starting under the same condi-
tlon without the device. In which cas-
the conventional brakes must be re-
leased before the clutch is thrown In.
This might allow the ear to gain suffi-
cicnt backward momentum to prevent
the engine from starting and permit
the car to drop off the road IL the
brakes cannot hold it.-Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

CONSTRUCTION OF GOOD ROAD
Concrete Highway 10 Composed Of
Mixture Of Sand, Stone. Portland
Cement and Water.

The concrete road is composed Of
a carefully proportiOned mixture Of
clean, hard, well-graded sand, peb-
bles or broken stone, portland cement
and water. This mixture Is laid upon
the subgrade to a depth of 7 inches
or more for the entire width OF the
road, and sOon hardens into a mass
as hard as rock. The materials are
bonded together by the cement so firm
ly that 1t is impossible for traffic to
loosen or separate the particles. For
this reason no expensive maintenance
is required.
The foundation or subgrade Is COM
pacted where the concrete is to be
laid and the roadbed is drained so
that no water will remain under the
slab. writes A. L. Pettibone In Dakota
Farmer. Upon the foundation con-
crete is laid in one or two courses.
A one-course concrete road consists of
a relatively rich concrete mixture
