This remarkable tribute from ma
ton which never lightly bestows
approval, but in a spirit of sports
manship always admits and admires
a superior achievement, releases us,
we feel, from a reticence which has
always governed our references to
the Cadillac.
The truth of the matter is that we
have never expressed to the Amer
lean people our own deep and in
nermost convictions concerning the
Cadillac.
We have refrained, from a sense of
decent restraint, and because we
have always felt that the Cadillac
was its own most eloquent exponent.
But we feel, now, that we owe it
to more than a hundred thousand
American owners of the present
type Of Cadillac, to share this tribute
with them, and at the same time, to
set down, once and for all, an honest
belief concerning it, which we are
certain they share with us.
Heretofore, we may have seemed to
consent, by our silence, at least, to
the suggestion that car equaling
the Cadillac might possibly be bought
at considerably higher price.
Resting on the generous admission
of our English friends, we want our

We who build the Cad lilac have
never wavered for a moment in
this conviction.
We share it now, with our friends,
because we are sure that they, too,
will derive from this unparalleled
European tribute, at least little

ROCK FOR HIGHWAY BUILDING
First Systematic Efforts to Determine
Value Were Made in French
Laboratory in 1873.

The first systematic attempts to de-
termine the value Of rock for road
building purposes by means of labor
atory tests were made in France,
where In 1878 a road materials lab
oratory was founded in the French
School of Bridges and Roads. Here
the Deval abrasion test was adopted.
and this test with slight mOdiilca-
ton has been accepted as standard
throughout the United States. The
test Is named from its inventor II
was first used in connection with con-
tract work in the city OF Paris. Many
valuable data were collected In this
Laboratory on the hardness and tough
ness Of rock, and tests for these prop
critics were developed which we're In

try roads move the raw materials

of the tonnage carried by the railroads.
The present freight congestion has
emphasized the importance of the
