The war and the consequent railroad
congestion imposed heavy traffic bur-
dens upon our highways; burdens, in
fact, much greater than the roads were
built to sustain. To make matters
still worse, labor and repair materials
were scarcer during the war. and many
roads as a result are now in depl0ra-
BILE condition. AS the preacher would
say, they are "more holy than right
eous."
The year 1919 is going to witness an
immense road repair movement. And
the work should be at least fairly
permanent. Merely throwing dirt or

LOndOn.-Iittle by little the world
is learning some Of the romance and
excitement that ut times punctuated
the rather prOsaic lives Of the men who
patrolled the seas and kept the ocean
traffic lanes open for allied shipping.
The dangers that lurked in the Arabian
seas and Indian ocean have been
known in a general way from the too
frequent admiralty reports of ships
sunk there by submarines and raiders.

lie pining for the more thrilling occti-
patton of searching for the German
raider Wolf. Her guns could outrange
the guns Of our little ship, so effectual-
~, that, had we met her, we should
probably have been blown out Of the
sea before we could put shot any

About 10 o'clock one evening a sig
mailman appeared ut the wartlrOum

lights"
Probably an old tramp scared out
of his wits by these yarns about the
Wolf" suggested someone.
'All these merchantmen are going
about without lights nowadays"
The captain and the navigator went
up to the bridge. where they were
presently joined by the first lieutenant.

an ordinary farm wagon, and pulled
a load of 5000 pounds over different
kinds of roads. The wagon was a
standard farm wagon with steel axles
of equal length, wheels SO and IS
inches in diameter, and four-inch tires.
A recording dynamcmeter, known as
the Iowa type, was used to register
the tractive force of the team. This
instrument makes q record of the re-
sistance on a strip of paper under a
recording pencil, and after the test,
the total pull of the team can be read
off in pounds. The record of the test
is az follows:
On concrete road, unsurfaced in
excellent condition, the total pull on
the load was 50 pounds, or 276 pounds
per ton.
On concrete road with three-eighth
inch surface Of asphaltic oil and
screenings, road in excellent condition,
the total pull was 1916 pounds or 1872
pounds per ton.
On the ordinary macadam road in
excellent condition, the total pull was
1913 pounds or 64.3 pounds per ton.
For a graveled road, compact, and
in good condition, the total pull was
225 pounds or 70 pounds per ton.
An earth road, firm, with one and
One-half inches of fine, loose dust, the
total pull was 276 pounds or 90 pounds
per ton.
An earth road, with mud to 6
inches deep, but sell firm underneath,
the total pull was 654 pounds or 218
pounds per ton.
On graveled road, before the gravel
had been compacteG, but when it was
in ordinary loose condition after it had
been placed upon the road, the total
pull was 789 pounds or 263 pounds per
ton.
The above shows very web what
great advantages good roads have on
the hauling properties Of q team.

CHECK HEAVY WATER FLOW
Catch Drain Should Be Constructed on
Side Of Hills to Carry Flow 70
! Ends of Cut.

On the side hills where the flow Of
water is heavy it should be kept from
reaching the road by constructing a
catch-drain few feet back and above
the edge Of the cut. This will carry the
water along to the ends of the cut and
thus keep it off, the road. If the cut
is long one, the water in the catch
drain can be disposed Of at intervals
by dropping it through pipe or gut
ter into the culverts.
