WANT FADES RUSS BEAUTY

Odessa, Beautiful hands are a
thing of the past in Russia. The hands
of once handsome women are hard
and horny, almost as those of field
laborers. They have neither hot water
nor soap in which to wash them, nor
salves and cold creams to prevent
chapping.
Constant household labor in their
single rooms, making fires for cooking,
carrying water. chOpping wood and
many other primitive duties have has
tened the effect of cold and dirt. Nal
nutrition is another cause. Lack of

ESTABLISH LARGE
PLANTS To BUILD
COUNTY HIGHWAYS

Construction Of a rock crushing
and screening plant was begun by
Twohy Brothers soon after being
awarded the big Maricopa county
highway contract. This plant is
located at Tempe on the Salt river.
BY means of a 2A yard steam
shovel in the bar and narrow guage
cars with dinlly locomotives, the ma
terial is excavated and delivered to
the plant, which crushes, washes and
screens the material to comply with
the requirements of the contract and
specifications.
From this plant the graded rock
and sand is shipped in bottom dump
cars over the Arizona Eastern rail-
road to the central distribution plant.
This central plant receives the rock
and sand directly from the standard
guage cars into long bunkers from
which 1t is drawn into the steel batch
boxes. All cement is delivered from
the factory to the central plant where
II is stored in a warehouse along
side the rock and sand bunkers and
loaded into the batch boxes, with the
sand and rock in separate compart-
ments.
These steel batch boxes are
mounted on small Industrial railway
cars and hauled with gasoline loco
motives over an industrial railway
to the various PAYERS, where the
batch boxes are emptied into the
paver skip by means of crane
operated automatically with the rails
ing and lowering of the paver skip.
All Done Mechanically
From the paver the mixed concrete
is placed on the roadway by means
of a bucket conveyed out on a boom
extending from the discharge end of
the paver. The mixed concrete is
spread uniformly between the side
forms, tamped and finished with a
mechanical tamper and finishing
machine. AS soon as the finished con-
crete becomes hard enough 1t is COW
cred and diked with loose dirt and
kept filled with water for approx
mately is days.
The sub grade is prepared in ad-
vance of the PAYERS by means of 9
caterpillar tractor pulling a heavy
Arizona republican., 1922-01-01

scarifier to break up the old roadbed
and followed with Fresno scrapers to
make the cuts and fills and a heavy
blade road grader to plane off the
surface leaving the roadbed in what
is termed "the rough grade" ready to
receive the side forms. which are
placed true to line and grade. The
subgrade is finished with a sub-grad-
ing machine running on the side
forms as a guage and pulled with a
gasoline roller, to trim the grade off
to the true cross section, after which
it is thoroughly sprinkled and rolled.
1t is then ready to receive the con-
crete.
All culverts and small bridges are
constructed in advance of the sub
grade preparation.
All of the highway work is care
fully and closely inspected by the
highway commission and its engi-
neering department to see that the
plans and specifications are strictly
adhered to. This is accomplished by
placing a competent inspector over
each construction operation.
All Is Inspected
The Tempe rock crushing and
screening plant has an inspector who
is at the plant at all times during the
working hours in behalf of the high
way commission to see that the rock
and sand are correctly graded and
washed free of any Objectionable
matter and to sample and test the
rock and sand daily to maintain a
uniform high grade quality of ma
terials.
The central plant sand loading
batch boxes, which operate "a hours
daily, have an inspector for each
shift, to see that the proper proper
ton Of cement, rock and sand are
placed in each batch box and to
further look out for materials that
have been inspected and later be-
come damaged or unfit for use.
Each paver has an inspector for
each shift to see that the concrete is
properly mixed that the mixing
water is not contaminated. that the
subgrade is in proper condition to
receive concrete and that the con-
crete is laid, finished and cured in
the proper manner.
Each culvert and bridge crew has
an inspector to see that the work is
! performed in accordance with the
| plans and specifications.
Each working district has an engi-
neer in charge of all subgrade in that
| district, to see that the subgrade is
| properly prepared before the con-
tractor is permitted to pour the con-
crete. All of the inspectors in each
working district are under the super

Maricopa County Poultry Association
It is generally felt that the year
1921 has been one of much progress
in the poultry industry of Arizona,
and especially for the poultry pro-
tlucers of the Salt River valley and
Maricopa county. A spirit Of CO.
operation and apparent desire to
formulate concrete and practical
plans for placing the industry on
firm foundation have been manifest
Nearly all of the larger poultry
men Of the valley. as well as a con-
siderable number of those hav-
ing smaller flocks have become
members OF the Maricopa County
Poultry association, to the end that
there may be a responsible poultry
leadership and an organization
through which definite progress may
be made. The year has been marked
by a number of events over which
poultrymen should feel pleased.
While it was greatly regretted that
a decision was reached to postpone
for q year the holding of the usual
state fair, thereby losing the an
nual poultry exhibition held during
fair week, this loss was partly COM
pensated for by the highly success
full show held by the Maricopa Coun-
ty Poultry association from Nov. 3
to IL, during Phoenix industrial
week. This exhibition of about 700
head, both as to quality of the birds
entered and the arrangement of the
show room proved more satisfactory
in all respects than any of the seven
previous shows of the association.

sometime next December. following
the annual state fair show to be held
probably during the early part OF
next November.
Experimental Farm
Another very important event In
1921 was the purchase of ten acre
plot of land at Glendale by group
of public spirited citizens and its
presentation to the United StateF
government for a permanent home
for the government poultry expert
mental station, to take the place of
the former unsatisfactory and mac
cessible location beyond New River.
There are at present only two such
stations in the country, one at Belts
vile. Md, and the other st Glen
dale. Los Angeles county, Califor-
MIA, was very anxious TO OpldIH tniS
station, recognizing the poultry i'm
portance from every point Of view OF
such an institution with a govern
msnt expert in charge. The entire
community is to be congratulated
therefore that the government has es-
tablished its southwestern expert
mental station right in our midst.

tryman in charge of the Glendale
station, has been carrying on for the
past Is months at the old site. Sc

conditions, which viii be continued

with vastly more satisfactory results
