The, Grant Highway. already assum-
ing importance as one of the great
transcontinental routes. will include
excellent examples of every modern
type of pavement recognized by the
science of modern highway engineer
ing. These types will include the
famous "black base or flexible type
of highway, of which large mileage
has been completed in Oregon, the
plain Portland cement concrete high
way, which has been built in Illinois
and Iowa, some brick stretches at in
tervals, and large stretches of macad-
am, gravel and earth, much of which
viii have asphaltic material applied
to the surface. A feature interesting
both to engineers and taxpayers in
the building of this great highway will
be the comparison of service and ultl-
mate cost that will develop between
the flexible "black base surface and
the rigid Portland cement concrete
pavements.
Highway engineers are divided into
two schools, one advocating the flex-
ible or black base pavement to re-
sist impact and the other advocating
ridigity to accomplish the same pur-
pose. The BLACK base pavement
consists of an underlying course of
crushed stone, Stag or gravel. seldom
exceeding four or five inches In thick
ness, cemented together with asphalt.
1T is contended that the resultant mix
ture is waterproof and so flexible that
instead of shattering under heavy i'm
pact it seeks closcer contact with the
subgrade or underlying earth and

There are three services that

clared The first is a service 10
God. the second, a service to his

a religious standpoint. the first IS
necessary. But a question that
arises is: Do the first two services
mingle with each other in the United
States. Now our country was found
ed as a god-fearing nation. In the
beginning II undoubtedly had that
character. AS a consequence, we
had the old American home, with
its sacred influences. But prosper
ity came, and It Is in prosperity that
the morals Of a people is tested, not
in adversely. The morals Of our ma
ton began to weaken. Forty years

goers. And the conditions OF crime.

Judge Scanlon further related how
the divorce evil, a thing unheard Of
