ROAD TESTS IN CALIFORNIA

An experiment in road construction
over adobe land Is being made In Il
section of the county highway between
Bay Point and Pittsburg. In Cali

Experience has shown that concrete.
roads built over adobe land results in
the cracking and disintegratinb OF the
road in a few seasons and In an effort
to overcome this trouble County
Surveyor Arnold is having the link OF
the county highway constructed in 81
manner tried in several eastern states
and proved successful.
The concrete is laid in two separate
sections, each eight feet wide with a
two-foot strip through the center. In
this strip is placed oil macadam whlch
is rolled level to the surface OF the
concrete and the entire surface is
faced with a topping.

GOOD ROADS ARE ESSENTIAL
Success of Motor Truck Express Lines
Depends Greatly on Character
Of Highways.

The success of the motor truck ex-
press depends to d very large degree
on The character OF the roads over
which the routes rum. Bad roads in
crease the operating costs, and conse-
q"uently the rates TO patrons, beyond
the point of economy. Trucks are de-
structive to roads Unless the roads
are permanently built. Therefore, the
problem Of improving ana developing
the marketing facilities for farmers
through the establishment of rural
motor express lines is directly con
nee Ell with the problem of permanent

The strictest vigilance in Southamp-

like Eamonn de Valera, president of
the Irish Republic when the steam
ship Aquitania of the Cunard Line ar
rived there to-day. There are all sorts

that the reports to the effect he was

as a blind to divert attention from

A scrutiny OF the passengers and
crew satisfied the authorities that De
Valera was not there. The Captain Of
the vessel said De Valera could not
have come as member OF the crew,
as he had not added to his force in
New York.

The three major professional sports,
