Much Machinery In Use.

In addition to the teams with the
wagons, slips and graders, motor
road machinery is being used on the
road. One Of the outfits is said to
constitute the latest word in road
building machinery. 1t is a ten ton
tractor, used as the motive power
and six "wheelers" forming the
train. Every one of the six wheel
ers" move cubic yard of dirt at a
load. The "wheelers" are loaded and
unloaded automatically, one man
handling the entire string of SIX
making the operation of the entire
train in charge of but two men.
So powerful is the tractor, which
is of the catipillar type, that it is
not necessary to plow ahead of the
scrapers. They load hard clay AMI
any other formations up to sand
stone. The tractor never comes to
a stop, loading and unloading as il
moves, this machinery with two mer

Eliminate Sand First.

The first work done on the road
was the elimination of the sand bed
which extends for more than a mile
To accomplish this<, the road men
hauled clay, after grading and level
ing the sand, and surfaced the road
with the firm material, mixing it in
the proper proportions with the
sand. In this work IL teams have
been used. For two weeks they have
been moving an average of over 100
cubic yards Of dirt daily, the haul in
some cases being nearly a mile.
While the york on the sand bed Is
by no means complete, they have
put it in such shape that cars now
pass over the road with no danger of
sticking in the sand for there
practically is no sand AS the wagons
lump the clay, men with shovels
level it, making the surface compara-
lively smooth and readily passable.
Tn some places where the sand was
only a matter of two or three feet
thick, it was scooped out with slips
and graders and the road graded
from the subsoil clay.

Recently the president of the
United States, having been Informed
that a wide spread epidemic of
pellagra was possible in the south
crn states communicated with the
American Red Cross at once and
inquired if the organization was
prepared to assume the care of the
anticipated epidemic. Reply was
that eve are ready. This shows
the estimation the organization is
held by the highest authority in the
land.
Fact is there is no other charity
that can Immediately put into action
the relief needed in widespread cpl
denies, or casualties caused by fires,
floods, storms or any other agencies.
The Red Cross civil service is as
important as it's war service was
in the world war. We are constantly
bestowing relief on the poor and
