more than where the asphalt is shipped
in bulk, making the filler cost about
IT'S cents per SO. yd.
The entire cost of the raw material
for the wearing surface is $1.935 per
SO. yd., as against As cents per 50. I'd.
for bitulithic.
Instead of bitulithic costing 0,00O
more than brick on Superior st., ii
should cost $4,000 less for each and
every block. If the proposed work
covers Is blocks, then bitulithic would
cost in the aggregate, $67 200 less than
brick.
Sheet asphalt commonly is laid, fol
heavy traffic conditions, in two courses
the first being called the binder course
It is one and one-half inches thick and
composed of about nine pounds of as
phalt, 81 pounds of sand and rs pounds
of broken stone, per 50. yd., all mixed
and then rolled on top of the concrete
base., The wearing surface, the second
course, is two inches thick and composed
Of about 26 pounds of asphalt, 2s
pounds Of rock dust, called the filler
and ITS pounds OF, sand per 50. I'D. The
total material for the asphalt pavement
exclusive of the base should be IS
pounds Of asphalt, 2S poands Of rock
dust, rs pounds Of crushed stone and
252 pounds Of sand, costing in all about
so cents per square yard Of the raw

In the Engineering News Record, the
leading engineering, paper in America,
in Vol. 81, p. go, you will find the fol-
lowing statement: "From the forego-
ing it iselear that the Wallace Patents
produce a pavement which. is, closely
analogous 30 a very thin sheet asphalt
surfacing on a close, binder, the top
layer being generally about one-half an
inch thick." =
The Wallace Patents are those under
which Messrs. Warren Bros. now are
laying their bitulithie, which, according
to the editor Of the Engineering News
Record, anounts to a sheet asphalt
pavement with abont three.fourths Of
the top left off. Nevertheless, we To-
cally hear that bitulithic is the best
and most expensive pavement laid.
The Rip-saw g readers will remember
that. about three years ago, the Great
Family Journal published some interest,

and Mr.. Davis prepared specifications
for the paving Of East Superior st. and
presented them to the city engineer, all
typewritten and ready for use. A bit

Mexico weekly ledger., 1922-07-27

STATISTICS show that a large
percentage of children in this coun-
try, about so per cent to be exact,
are without religious training. This
is a condition that should not exist
if we are to build the citizenship this
country requires to assure its future
along wholesome and correct lines.
Good citizesnhip can only be based
upon Christian ideals and these can
only be inculcated in the youth of the
nation through the Sunday schools
scattered throughout the country. 1t
is the duty of every parent, if they
would bear their share of patriotic
responsibility, to see to it that their
children attend some Sunday school.
Much can be done in the home but the
Sunday school is the accepted agency
for this type of development and moth
ing has ever been found superior to
it. In the teaching Of the Bible in the
Sunday school it is paramount that
the need of Christianity and its ideals
in citizenship be stressed in order
that the youth of the country will be
properly prepared for citizenship.

Long For Senator

This is a curious campaign, Here
comes the Mexico Intelligencer lec-
turing Longs supporters for endan-
gering the chances of success for the
Democratic ticket this fall, because
we charge Reed and his supporters
with the taint Of Republicanism. This,
in face of the fact that Republicans
are declaring today on the streets of
Mexico, and every where else that
they attend his meetings and applaud
his speeches; That he and his follow
ers are using Republican arguments
in his support; That he and his fol-
lowers are attacking the splendid
achievements of the only Democratic
National administration in sixty
years We say the only Democratic
National Administration, because
president Cleveland never had a
Democratic congress but for two
years and then the party was split on
the money question, with the pres
ident and the Eastern Democrats on
one side and the Southern and West
erns Democrats on the other.
Then here comes Col Fred Nor
Ills and tells us how proud we ought
to be Of Reed, because the people
down east say he is the only man in
the United States senate that Is rep
resenting the people. We thought
the senator was The champion Of the
Missouri farmer. We did not knol

he was representing the wealthy
down Fasteners that are wont to as
semble at Atlantic City where Col.
Fred is summering.
Senator Reed and his followers are
continually parading before us the
allegation that Long is wealthy. If
Mr.. Long is wealthy, we, are sure he
is making no improper use Of his
wealth. This space which is devoted
to his interest Is being paid for and
filled by the Long for Senator Club
and paid out Of money contributed by.
its members. II Long has spent or
promised to spend dollar in Audrain
county outside his hotel bill while
here, we know nothing of It. It is a.
perfectly patent fact that ten dollars
is being spent for Reed to every one
for Long.
And now comes the German-Amer-
lean National Conference with Helm
reich Heine as president and George
Sylvester Viereck as chairman Of the
resolution committe and demand the
immediate return of beer and wine

SEVERAL U. S. Senators, close
friends of Senator Reeds have taken
the public's time in the senate to
speak in behalf of the candidacy of
Reed in the Missouri primary. They
are taking time for which they are
paid by the taxpayer to boost the
political ambitions of Senator who
is also on the public payroll but off
the job while legislation must halt
regardless. Reeds admirers take
exception to Woodrow Wilson, priv
ate citizen, speaking in behalf of Mr..
Longs race but we presume they see
nothing wrong with public servants
speaking in behalf of Reed even
though their time is presumed to be
used in the interests of the people and
most important Legislative matters.
