Loss Due to Poor Highway
Surfaces in the Country
Would Pay the Bills for
Good Ones.

That the sums spent on motor We
hicle repairs is vastly greater than the
sums spent on highway paving is the
statement of Prof. w. X. HIATT, recently
appointed director of the advisory
board on highways research, Division
of Engineering. National Research
Council
There are $4,000 100000 invested
in self propelled vehicles in the United
States and Canada" says Prof. HIATT.
land the turnover is more than
$4,000, 000, 900 annually" To this
should be added gasoline. oil and ga
rage costs, which would bring the
otal to approximately $4,000. 900. 900
Approximate figures available indi-
cate that the annual expenditure on
the automobiles and trucks that run
over the roads is ten times as large as
the amount of money spent each year
on the country roads themselves.
Prot. HIATT and his committee believe
that the facts affecting the cost of
Eehlcle operation due 10 ROAD surfaces
must be emphasized and the future
must bring intensive research for the
purpose OF extending the life of the
roads through proper construction and
maintenance.
In the early days of motor traffic
practically all automobiles had pneu-
matte tires When run at high speed
the wheels dispersed thc rock-dust
binder Of the macadan road and scat
tered the stone. more tenacious
binding material was conceded to be
the remedy. Then came II large mo-
ter truck running on solid tires and
imposing a weight of many tons. Thus
a new problem arose-how TO prevent
crushing and abrasion of road surfaces
when subjected to the impact of these
solid tired heavily loaded trucks. The
only thing to do was TO put the shock
absorbing principle OF the inflated au-
tcmobile tire into the surface OF the
road, thus easing strain on the road
foundation, the road surface and the
vehicle.
Had it been suggested ten or fifteen
years ago that rural taxpayers resort
to city types OF asphalt paving 1t
would have seemed a preposterouS
proposition, but with present expendi-
lures for important country roads
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000 mile

States Bureau of Public Roads, deter
mination of justifiable outlay for the
proposed Improvement of roads and
streets from anticipated service,
should call for at least as careful a
survey and estimate as the engineer
now provides for the construction

The saving in cost of traffic operation
per tone mile, determined by carefuf
investigation. when applied to the total
existing and potential increase in ton
miles, according to M. Pennybacker
will give the gross annual saving In
traffic operation attributable to the i'm
provement of the road.
Investigation shows that during the
years 1915 to 1920 the price of bitumi-
nous paving materials increased only
65 per cent, while highway labor in
creased $50 per cent. and the price Of
other building materials rose from
80 to $50 per cent. Costs of both labor
and materials are now on the decline,
however, and there is a strong reaction
in favor of reduced freight rates. All
of this, Of course, means cheaper
highways.

FEEBLE BLOOD WORKS

When blood becomes thin and
weak it is due to falling off in the
number of red blood cells. It is
easily recognized by pallid skin or
a blemished complexion. loss of
appetite or unnatural irritability
and sensation of weakness. 1t is
not dangerous at first. In fact.
many people scarcely notice it and
go on for days, thinking they will
be better the next day.
The great danger is in the pos
sibility of becoming seriously ill
from disease, which can work hav-
oc in a body that lacks the endur-
ance and resistance In rich. red
blood.
Taken in time and steadily, a
few bottles of GUIDES Pepto- Man

the quality of the blood by adding

weakness, improve the appetite
and clear the complexion.

Capt. and Mrs. M. A. Kramer,
and Mr.. and Mrs. j. w Root, and
Mr.. J. T. Root, of Jackson, mo-

spent few hours very pleasantly
with Mr.. and Mrs. C. S. Kramer.
Capt. Kramer presided over our
company when we belonged to the
state militia 25 years ago, and
he was one of the best in the
state, too. We we'll remember the
sting of his No. 10 shoe when we
failed to keep in line, or disobeyed
orders. He is a fine fellow, and
it is a pleasure to meet and know
him.
