THIN ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
Ordinary Rock Surface Under Motor
Traffic Coming in Next
Few Years.

MacAdam was years ahead Of his
age and years behind this one. The
builders Of the Appian Way knew
more about building a road for q mo-
tOrtruck than MacAdam. strange as 1t
may appear. 1t is the general opinion
among road builders-an opinion
greatly Quickened and altered by the
war-that the light stone road, be 1t
surfaced OF oil treated in what way
you will. Is not the road to build In
the face Of an avalanche Of motor
trucks that Is coming in the next few
years. The motorcar brought oil to
the road as a necessity. The water
bond, which worked so well with iron
tires and iron shod hoOfs. is useless
against the suction of the pneumatic
tire. But the oiled stone road that
holds the 3,OOO-pOund car with ease
will not carry the fve-tOn truck-and
last.
The railroad builders have found
that for heavy traffic it pays to use
the heaviest steel rails. the finest wood
for ties and the best broken stone,
and plenty Of it, for ballast.

Shipments of
Boxed Apples
Show Big Gain

Boxed apple shipments are 70
per cent heavier than they were a
year ago according to figures just
issued from the department of ag-
riculture while barreled apple
shipments are up to the present
less than half what they were at
that time. This is accounted for
by the crop failure in the barreled
apple sections. Cold storage hold :
ings are far below those of last
year, and even below the average
for the last five years.
The apple market has shown a
downward trend throughout the
season and much of the fruit
which has gone into storage is
now worth much less than when
It was stored. Unless there is
decided advance in the market the
holding game will prove to los
ing one.

He said that the first paying
