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 prorortiOned mixture Of
clean, hard, well-graded sand. peb-
bles or broken stone, portland cement
and water. This mixture is laid upon
the subgrade to Il depth Of 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
~ 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
throughout. A two-course road con-
sists of somewhat leaner mixture for
a base with richer top or wearing
course, applied before the concrete in
the base has begun to harden. Ere.
quently reinforcement in the form of
wire fabriceOr steel rods is embedded
in the concrete. This assists to pre-.
vent cracks in the slab and aids in
keeping cracks which may form from
opening to any appreciable extent.
The high wearing quality Of the con.
crete road results from using properly
graded, clean, hard sand and pebbles
or crushed rock. These must be COM

BELGIUM SPEEDING UP

Virtually all the glass factories in
the country now are in operation, and
80 per cent Of the textile looms now
are busy spinning raw cotton arriving
from the United States.
1T is estimated that the loan Of
5OO.OOO,OOO francs which American
bankers have agreed to extend to Bel
gium will 60 long way toward recon-
struction. 1t also will have a benefi.
cial effect upon the purchase price Of
the franc, which at the present time
is very low. Repayment of this loan
is not to commence until 1890. 1t is
only by rapidly building her mills that
Belgium can hope to pay back this
loan in the production of her manufac.
tured goods"
Mr.. Morgan said 1t was estimated
that the Germans had carried away
one.third of the Belgian live stock. Ex-
perts of the United States department
of agriculture have arrived from Amer
lea to aid the Belgian ministry of ag-
riculture in shipping breeding stock to
Belgium.
1T is my understanding" added Mr..
Morgan. that preparations now are
under way for sending a feet Of 80

Cha -Chas Of the Virgin islands.
According to the marines the Cha
Chas are poor mixers" They live ON

any outside interference with their

industry bringing them good living
as fishermen and weavers of straw
hats. The tribe is said to have come
originally from the Dutch and French
Leeward islands.
So far the marines have taken only
long distance observations of the Cha

Every effort will be made not to In

out Mt the same time leaving any loop

for the satisfaction Of addicts and for

Numerous cases have been brought
to the attention of the bureau where
physicians have prescribed drugs In
alleged attempts to cure addicts. and
have dispensed them by mail or ex-
press. This practice is violation OF
the spirit of the law and is only a
blind to cover illegitimate traffic.
The bureau intends to curb all &C.
