According to Announcement Of b.

Is Represented.

Nlnety-three road construction prof..

federal aid during october by the blu.
reau of public roads. United states
Department of Agriculture, according
to a compilation Just made public.
Virtually every type Of construction Is
represented In the approved projects.

REINFORCED CONCRETE ROAD
Experiments Conducted In Suburbs OF
Washington to Determine Strength
Of Foundation.

How q reinforced concrete road
holds up under heavy traffic is to be
determined by the bureau of public
roads. United States Department Of
Agriculture, through experiments TO
be conducted on such a road now be-
Ing built In the suburbs of Washing
ton In cooperation with Arlington
county, Va.
Ihe road Is being reinforced with
many different arrangements Of wire
mesh and round steel rods embedded
In the concrete. The joints will be
either a crack left In the road, 10 be
filled with tar, or simply a sheet of
corrugated metal set on edge with the
concrete poured around 1t. Some sec
lions are TO have joints running along
the middle OF the road, some across II,
and some will be built without Joints.
or especial interest Is the construc-
ton Of ribbed sections. Instead Of
placing the concrete on a nearly fiat
subgrade, trenches will be dug In the
subgrade running parallel to the edges
of the road and also across the road.
These trenches will be flied with con-
crete. giving the slab downward pro-
lection of concrete. ana presumably
strengthening 1t. Experiments also
will be conducted to determine the
strengthening effect of treating the
earth under the concrete. On one sec
tion the earth for a depth OF Q inches
Will be mixed with cement, using /
part Of cement to 20 parts Of earth.
In some places where there is a grade
a trench under the concrete will be
filed with gravel. These trenches will
slope toward the edges OF the road
and drain away any water that might
otherwise accumulate under the sur
face.

LACK OF OIL RUINS STARTER
Lack of fabrication May Cause Bear
inos to Become Dry, Overhead
and Finally Seize.

A starting motor In good condition
Will respond instantly whenever 1t Is
desired to crank the engine, and will
continue efficiently the cranking oper-
alton as long as 1t receives current
from the battery. Lack OF attention,
however, especially In regard to lubri-
cation, may cause bearings OF the
starter to become dry, overhead and
finally seize. This trouble may not be
noticeable during a previous use, but
on attempting to again crank the en-
CINE the starter refuses TO revolve. No
amount of pressure on the switch but
ton will 10Y the starter armature
until the bearing has been cooled and
properly fabricated. These bearings
require but little oil, but should re-
celve a definite mount regularly.

PLAN FOR LOCKING NEW CAR
BY Removing Distributor Arm Of lg-
milton System Owner Can Pre-
vent Robbery.

Many modern cars are fitted with a
battery Ignition system In which the
distributor arm Is removable. By re-
moving this arm the car owner makes
it possible to steal his vehicle only by
towing 1t away or by fitting another
distributing arm. The arm may be
removed simply by unclasping the dis
tribution " to which wires are at

Up TO December 81, $212.077 .246 had

mileage OF roads under construction
aud completed, the departments rec
ords show, was approximately 1900
miles. OF this milage 1855 miles was
In projects entirely completed. The
balance OF 17,445 miles was In projects
which were still under construction
but reported 60 per cent complete Dc
tober 81. In those projects there was
the equivalent OF 1900 miles OF com
pleted roads, so that the completed
road TO date was more than 21,OO0
miles, or nearly enough to encircle
the globe.
Prior to five years ago the federal
government took no active part In the
read construction of the country. To
day about one-half Of all roads under
construction are being aided financial
ly by the federal government, and the
construction Is subject to inspection
and approval Of federal engineers.

GOOD USE FOR SUBSTITUTES
Gravel and Maeadam Can Be EN-
ployed Until More Durable Type
Of Road Is Built.

II Will require several years for the
United States TO carry cut the plans
for u comprehensive system or hard

as the main highways can be built Of

may be used Us substitutes, but what
the whole country wants and demands

BUILD ROADS IN WISCONSIN
Greatest Period Of Activity Dur
ing 1922.

The state Of Wisconsin for fifteen
years has been considered a good roads
state. Highway building activity has
added yast sums Of wealth to the
state. However, II Is predicted that the
state will experience Its greatest period
Of road construction I'm 1922. Informa-
ton emanating from the state high
way department Of the Badger state
indicates that the construction Of con
crete roads In Wisconsin will probably
surpass that of 1921.

Where Does Dr.. Brown

Banks and City Money?
(EDITORIAL)

Before the primary election DIR. f. j. Brown
was ruthlessly hammering the Seattle banking
interests.
The banks accept deposits of taxpayers money
from the city and pay the city interest thereon
at the rate Of two per cent
But when the city has to borrow money from
the banks, the banks charge the city interest at
the rate Of six per cent

spoken, riolent critic of these practices.
But since ipeek ago Tuesday Dr. Browga has
remained singularly, significantly silent on the
banking issue.

polls in the final election on May to elect as
mayor either DR.. Brown or Dan Landon, are
entitled to hear definitely and in detail from DR..
