The growing demand for good roads
in the South has provoked consider
able discussion as TO the cheapest and
most durable types of pavement
Statistics show that for hard surfaced
roads the asphaltic types are in great
est general use. The popularity of
these types, especially those of the
sheet asphalt. the asphaltic concrete
and asphaltic macadam, is due TO their
long wearing qualities, resiliencj
against traffic impact, dustlessness
noiselessness, cleanliness and low cost
Of upkeep. Brick and concrete roads
have also developed, as have the
wooden block and granite block types
The most recent available figures give
42.11 per cent of the surfaced roads in
the United States as being OF gravel,
25.22 per cent as macadam, 17.16 per
cent sapd-clay, 1923 per cent asphalt
and other bituminous materials, 3.91
per cent concrete and 0.62 per cent
brick. The figures for the asphaltic
and brick types,-a total of 1898 per
cent show the extent to which city
types Of pavement have been adopted
In the rural districts.
The types most favored IN the ci les
not only for paved streets but foc i'm
proved roads, included not only the
asphaltic types but those of brick and
macadam. Brick Is highly desirable
but more costly than some types.
Macadam Is q satisfactory type when
combined with an asphalt binder which
makes the road dustless and prevents
ravelling. 1t costs but little more than
the old type of macadam since the cost
of Sprinkling with water is eliminated.
Portland cement concrete is not re-
silent but 1t forms an excellent foun-
dation for the resilient surfaces. When
s, used with an asphalt filler brick is
semi-resilient. Asphalt surfaces have
an average life ranging from 20 to p
years and foundations. if thus pro
! tected, should last not less than thirty
| years. When a foundation is covered
with a shock absorbing surface that

WHO Is TO BLAME
FOR JAZZ DANCING

New York, Sept. lit is almost
impossible to find out who is to blame
for jazz dancing.
Really, this is a question which
many Consider by no means inconse-
quential. At first thought, one might
pin the responsibility on the dane
ing teachers, but if you ask them,
they will shrug their tuxedoed shoul-
ders in a rythmic manner and plead
not guilty. Its the fault of the com
posers, they viii tell you passing the
buck in double quick time.
The denial of the composers is
sharp, their contradiction flat and
the explanation of the why of jazz
what it wants.
Seemingly the public is divided in
its opinion on this bgi question. Some
say the younger generation is to
blame. Jazz dancing and jazz music
are, to repeat their own words, just
exactly what one might expect when
the youth of land gads about in
sporty automobiles, Stimulates con-
tempt for Mrs Grundy's ideas and
shows a determination to do every
thing in a fast and snappy way.
Others maintain that jazz is a ma
tural reaction to Victorian customs.
y few of their neighbors, almost
abandoning hope, resign themselves
to the thought that that something
called the spirit of the age is really
the reason for fitful dancing styles,
expressing wonder the while as to
just what this little old world is COM
ing to.
The manner in which the dancing
instructors put the blame on the
chaps who create tunes is exemplified
by R. w. Vizay, president of the
American Society of Dancing Teach
erS.
Dancing is wholly a matter of
music he said. THE reason a waltz
is out of date is because there is nc
Strauss today to compose a real one
and make the people glide to it
When good music is composed, good
dancing will result AS long as yor
have jazz music you will have jazz
dancing
A very small proportion of couples
dance properly these days, Mr.. VIA,
, remarked. Take the ordinary ball
room, he said, and you will see q
couples toddling, five shimmying
three doing the Chicago" and tel
dancing properly. The teachers shoy
their pupils how to dance properly

ALL GRAINS AT LOW
RECORD OF SEASON
Nv CONDO

Chicago. Oct. 5.-Wheat, corn and
oats today all reached the lowest
prices yet this season. Bears contend
ed that no important advance could
be expected until the large visible
supply totals began to be reduced.
Absence of foreign demand counted
as a specially depressing factor as to
wheat. Opening quotations which
varied from 4 to re lower for wheat
with Dec. la to Linz and May 1lSl2
to 49,, were followed by slight
further setback and then by moderate
rallies
Continued liberal receipts weighed
down the corn market. After opening
i TO 5-S lower; including Dec. at
4S% to 49, the market underwent an
additional decline.
Oats starter unchanged to rs down,
Dec. 35& to sc, and then scored los
SEES for both December and May.
Provisions were weak with grain,
despite an uptun in the value OF
hogs.
