A '.FIFTY-FIFTY" a
ROAD PROPOSITION

Bombarded on all sides with ad-
vice as to the type of road he should
build, it is little wonder that the
taxpayers mind Is confused on this
important subject. He hopes to in
vest his money to the highest advan.
tage but Is confronted with so many
different theories that he can place
little reliance upon any OF them. For
example, promoters Of concrete roads
tell him that this type is 100 percent
efficient, will last Indefinitely and
that 1t will require practically no
outlay for repairs. Then the pro-
moter of the bituminous road appears
and declares that this is all bunk
that concrete roads crack, heave and
disintegrate-and that the only thing
to do Is to build a good stone road
bound with asphalt. The concrete
man will come back with the asser-
ton that bituminous roads mean ex-
cessive cost for maintenance.
II the taxpayers will disregard all
these statements and examine sun
dry types of roads already built he
will profit by It. He will discover
that the various statements made by
promoters OF competing roads are
partly true and partly false, and his
final conclusion will be that the only
safe bet Is to make it q fifty-fifty pro-
position, which merely means that he
will so combine the two materials as
to get the best service from each.
In other words, It is true that con-
crete in many situations IL an endur-
ing material, but IL is also true that
1t has tendency to crack, buckle and
disintegrata when carried to a road
wearing surface. Therefore, the way
to control Il - to use 1t as road
base. protecting 1t from both traffic
wear and destructive changes in tenn
perature and moisture by giving 1t an
enduring and water shedding wear
ing surface Of asphalt macadam. It
will then stay in place and give long
years of satisfactory service Just as
1t is doing on millions of square
yards Of city streets.
And In case Of asphalt Of bitumin-
Gus roads II the stone foundations
are too weak to stand modern traffic,
there will result, as claimed by the
concrete road promoter, high main
tenance cost.
In brief. asphalt macadam should
have the weight-earrying or sustain
ing concrete base, while the concrete
in turn needs the protection afforded
by the elastic asphalt wearing sur
face.
Our great cities long ago discover
ed the economic value of combining
these two excellent road materials
with the result that splendid boule-
wards have been laid at less cost than
many farming communities are pay
Ing for roads carrying very small
percentage of the boulevard traffic.

CONGRESS HAS ADJOURNED

The Sixty-fifth congress adjourned
by expiration at noon Tuesday In the
midst Of republican filibuster in
the senate that killed a long list of
important measures.
Among the hills that failed was
one appropriating $750.000,0 900 for
the railroad administration. without
which. some administration leaders
say, the railroads must be returned
to their owners before the middle Of
April.
There was no turning back of
clocks. Democratic leaders realiz-
ed the situation was hopeless and the
Ravels ending the long. great war ses-
sion actually tapped at noon.
No executive session was held and
the nominations Of A. Mitchell Pal

nations. including those Of hundreds
Of postmasters, remained Enacted up

Republic Solid
Truck Tires %.

We earnestly recommend Republic Solid Truck
Tires because we have personally proven that
they do last longer.
Before became distributors for these tires we
tested them under all conditions of service.
We tried them country roads and city streets;
in good weather and bad.
And always they showed remarkable wear re-
sisting qualities.
Truck operators who have bought Republic Solid
j Truck Tires have duplicated our own experience.
They report that Republics. made of Prodium

Yet they resilient and springy and cushion the
heaviest load.
The most ask is that you test Republic Solid
Truck Tires in comparison with other tires of
like size.

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 3.-Minnesota's
came laws may have to be amended

LEGISLATURE be asked to pass a bill
this winter making it illegal to hunt
feathered fowl from airplanes.
Minnesota has turned out a great

have ben gathering places for stu
dent and expert ayers. 1t is under
stood that some of these airmen who
observed the fight of ducks late this
autumn decided that the modern
hunter will travel in the air "bus."
From casral discussion the possibil-
itv of such hunting has caused state
wide attention. Game wardens be-
li,eve that ducks and geese could be
slaughtered by aviators. Therefore
there is a possibility that the state
LEGISLATURE will forestall such hunt.

tlonary Force, France, Nov. 28.-
Correspondence of The Associated

scattered throughout the length and
breadth of France from the seacoast
to the Swiss border, the problem of
communication is second only if not
of equal Importance to that of sup
plies.
|. When the American forces came to
France it was one of the first efforts
to which American ingenuity and in
vention was directed and the Signal
Corps, under which communications
falls, met it as have the. other organi-
cations of the American Expedition
ary Force. Existing French telegraph
and telephone systems were over
burdened. There was little left for
us and Brigadier General E. Russell,
chief signal officer, and his staff of
experts, tackled the job.
What they have done in construc-
tion is shown in some statistics fur
nished to The Associated Press. The
Signal Corps has built approximately
i,'cO VI pclSS OI WHICH, IL has
strung 4,175 miles of wire. In ,addi-
tion, about 1000 miles of American
wire has been strung on existing sys-
TENS for our use and it has leased
and operates more than 5000 miles
of French wire. Exchange lines to the
extent of 1880 miles have been built
and to operate these lines it has 244
telephone offices, 1895 telephone
stations and 1O2 telegraph offices.
All through France, from the base
ports to the front lines occupied by
the American forces, throughout our
training areas. in fact nearly every

American cross-bar poles, so different
from the European system, are new

ouently one heard newly arrived
American soldiers exclaim "That's
American" On main line systems
with many wires the French custom
arily use two poles side by side and
the wires are strung on cross-bars
between. and others on insulators
fastened direct to the pole.
The long distance telegraph and
telerhone system constructed by the
Signal Corps is entirely maintained
by it's own personnel and in addition
some 5000 miles of leased wires are
maintained by it.
! All this construction has been made
by Signal Corps battalions with i'm
plements and material from the
United States with the single eXcep-
ton of poles, most of which were
obtained in France. In construction,
maintenance and operation the stand

have been followed and the American
Expeditionary Force has been given

u San Francisco, Jan. 3.-While it is
generally understood that California
legislators will give much considera-

soldier, highways, and the matter Of
the Industrial Workers of the World,
there is promise of bills. being pre-

A revision Of the primary and cleo
ton laws is contemplated in legisla-
ton which will be presented by Sena-
tor Joseph A. Rominger (Rep.), of
Long Beach. f
Senator Rominger said:
"The most important measure that
/ will introduce and support in the
coming Legislature will embody the
following important additions for the
revision of the primary and election
laws;

which will endeavor to give stockmen

for cattle of fowls protection against
bogus combinations. 1t is an estab-
lished fact that the prepared stock
foods, as commonly sold in our mar
kets, are nowhere near up to the
standards required in other states.
"I am also preparing bill in the
interest of farmers and all warehouse
seeds which will require guarantee
of a proper nature from the vendors
of seeds, as to freedom from weed
or other noxious seeds. This bill also
will require a guarantee as to virabil-

nearly all the other states OF the
Union. m.
