ROADS RULE THE WORLD
By WILL RAND.

Roads rule the world-not kings
nor congress, not courts nor con-
stables, not ships nor soldiers. The
road is the only royal line in de-
mocracy, the only legislature that
never changes, the only court that
never sleeps, the only army that
never quits, the first aid to the re-
demption of any nation, the exodus
from stagnation in any society, the
call from savagery in any tribe, the
high priest of prosperity, after the
order of Melchi5edec, without be-
ginning Of day or end Of life The
road is umpire in every war, and
when the new map is made it simply
hope, brotherhood, efficiency and
peace"
That this was recognized as far
back as the early days of history
is shown by the marvellous work
manship in the roads built by the
Romans, some of which have been
in use for over 1000 years. How
ever, the form of construction in
these roads would not only be i'm
practical today but impossible. They
were made of materials which we
could never think of using and took
years to build. Their cott to the
Romans was small, as they were
built by men taken into captivity
and materials in that day were cheap
and plentiful.
Although the value of good roads
was appreciated as far back as this
Napoleon I, Of France, perhaps made
the first advance in the change from
the old to the modern road con-
struction in the building of his mill
tary roads in 1775.
These were all successful attempts
but the first definite step leading to
the present day road was the inven-
ton Of the macadam road in 1916
by John Macadam in England. This
was road composed of layers OF
crushed stone. the first layer con-
sisting of about twoinch stone and
each succeeding layer being of finer
stone, the stone having to be crush
ed by hand with hammers. This had
to be compacted, but as there were
no steam rollers at this time most
OF Cn1S ndu TO U0 ISlt " CAc u oiiiC
which would follow.
Although with the invention of the
stone crusher by Blake and the
steam roller by Lemoine the build
ing of macadam roads became more
successful, yet there was something
lacking in this form of pavement,
and among those who recognized
this fact was Frederick John War
rem.
Mr.. Warren's early boyhood had
been spent in the refineries for coal
tar and asphalt products, which his
father and uncles had operated for
over SO years. This early training
together with his later association
with his brothers in the business of
refining asphalt, manufacturing bi-
luminous cement and laying asphalt
pavement, made him familiar with
the merits and defects of the forms
of bituminous pavements then being
laid. He felt that there was room
for improvement and in 1899 set to
work to see what he could do. His
idea was to combine the various sizes
