Kentucky KICK Asphalt pavement
being as easy to clean as any 9TH
Ter type. 1t IS the first pavement
dry after 4 heavy slect.
RESISTANCE TO TRAFFIC
Kentucky Rock Asphalt posses
les peculiar property ill that it
never gets soft III summer or
what YOU might call hard in win.
ter. AS matter Of fact, the sur
face is not affected by changes il?
temperature. The surface has the
same appearance iii summer as in
winter; its action under traffic is
the same. While no tests have
been made. it is believed that the
resistance to traffic would be
about the same or better than
that presented by a sheet-asphalt
pavement in cold weather. 1t af-
lords good footing for horses
and good traction for automo-
biles.
N0N-SLIPPERYNESS
Non-slipperyness is very essen
tial. Many deaths have been due
to accidents caused by wet, Slip
perry paVements. Kentucky Rock
Asphalt is non-slippery, the Sur
face being like very fine sand
paper. It has been laid OH grades
as steep as I to 8 per. cent and is
giving excellent service. No com
plants, whatever, have been reg
istered against the material laid
on such heavy grades. Kentucky
Rock Asphalt was laid on street
at Hopkinsville, KY, on a ! IL
per cent grade.
EASE OF MAINTENANCE
It is the easiest of any of the
permanent types of pavement to
repair. 1t requires no plant, no
special tools, no expert labor. It
is laid cold. You merely cut back
the edges of hole to where the
surface is at the proper grade,
leaving the edges perpendicular to
the foundation; clean the hole and
Eli it with new material or else
break the old material with a
hammer, fill the hole and lamp it
down. A section of the pavement
can be removed with a chisel, thc
material crushed with the fingers,
and the hole repaired with the
same material that is taken out.
The case of maintenance is one
of the main points to consider
when selecting any pavement, be-
cause. alltfypes will sooner or lat
er need repairs Of some kind.

II IL understood the affair at the

1t is stated on reliable authority
that no less than ten orrces of Sem

broken into and personal papers ex-
amned in the last six months. Mail
repeatedly has been tampered with.
More than a score OF Congressman

In some instances petty thefts have

ther depredations.
INTRUDERS NOT JOKERs.
That the intruders were not prac-
tical jokers, but meant serious bust
ness is the general belief on Capitol
Hill. Clues to the identity or the
miscresnts may be obtained through
the notes and pen-and-ink sketch of
CONGRESSMAN Baer left in various
places in the office. Finger prints
also may lead to the apprehension OF
the criminals.
There Is belief among attaches OF
the Capitol that the raids on the Of
fees of the Congressman are part Of
n deeply-lald political plot. Baer
was elected to office by the Nom
partisan League which Is particularly
strong in North Dakota.
