GRAVEL FOR ROAD BUILDING
Simple, Portable Apparatus Devised to Test Its Suitability
 for Highways.

To aid the bureau of public roads, United States Department of Agricul- ture, in giving particular attention to the use of local material for road construction wherever possible, sam-' pie portable apparatus has been de- vised for testing gravel to determine it's suitability for concrete. The de vice consists of two steel balls ar- ranged so that a piece of gravel can be placed on top of one of the balls and the other ball allowed to fall from different heights and strike the gravel. The height of fall required to break the gravel is an indication of its suitability to withstand the blows of traffic.
 Heretofore there has been no satis- factory test of gravel as there has been for stone, with the result that in some instances more costly mate rial has been used when a suitable gravel was available close at hand. Along this line the bureau is conduct ing wear tests on concrete made of many different materials to determine just how far 1t is safe to go when the quality of material Is doubtful.

GAIN UNLAWFUL
 ENTRY TO J. s.
CUBA IS USED AS A BASE FOR OPERATIONS BY FOREIGN
 ENTERTAINERS
SMUGGLING IS CHARGED
BUREAU OF IMMIGRATION TELLS OF ACTIVITIES ON FLORIDA
 COAST

Washington-Charges of smuggling of European aliens into the United States from Cuba, surreptitious sub merging temporarily in the waters off the Florida coast of large quantities of liquors by international boOtleggers and mock marriages designed to insure entry into this country of women barred by immigration laws, form the basis of report submitted to Secre- tary Davis by the Bureau of Immigra- ton.
 Government investigators visited Jacksonville, Tampa, Tarpon Springs, Miami. Key West and Havana. They mingled, it is said, with the kings of the smuggling industry" and talked with aliens of every nationality who sought entry to the United States. The data gathered, it is stated, will prove invaluable to the government in coping with a situation which has taxed the ingenuity of federal agents to combat.
 The smuggling notifications, it is declared, extend to the capitals of Eu- rope. and involve Greeks, Spaniards. Poles, Roumanians, Russians and Chi neSe.
 The report states that the favorite method of gaining entry to the United States from Cuba for certain alien women has been for them to enter into flake" marriages with naturaliZed American citizens who, for certain con- alterations, go through mock ceremo- nieS and then accompany their wives" to some Florida point. Frequently, it is said, obliging "bridegrooms" have been paid as high as S200 for their part in the scheme.
 The usual fee charged for snug gling aliens, it is learned, ranges from $500 to $1,00C for each Chinese and about $50 for an European alien.
 The principal smugglers in Havana, the investigators declare, do not con- fine their activities to smuggling aliens into the United States, but also handle whisky and narcotics. The ma jority of the leaders are said to be naturalized Americans.
 A great many of the smuggling craft it is declared land and depart fran Mantasas, are of Cuban registry, and do not enter or clear at the custom house there.
 One of the favOrite routes for the smugglers, it is learned, is from Ha- vana to Long Key, thence up the coast past Turkey Point to Miami. through Hope Sound, past Palm Beach, then through the inner water way" and finally into St. John river. Aliens and liquor are unloaded at va rious points en route.
 Launches are used, having a speed ranging from. fifteen to twenty-five miles an hour, it is said, and carry up to forty aliens.
 From Miami to Jacksonville, dis tance of $50 miles, the whole coast line is said to be wide open to smuggling operations.
 Both Chinese and European aliens, it is declared. are being smuggled in at Mobile, Pensacola, Tarpon Springs and at dozen places within short dis tance of Tarpon Springs. Small yes sells are understood frequently to put in at Tarpon Springs for supplies or repairs" the inspectors explaining that at such time large numbers of aliens and quantities of liquor are landed.
 Liquor at this point, it is asserted, is openly sold over soft drink counters

width of automobiles. At an average speed of 30 miles an hour it is unrea- sonable to expect the driver of an automobile to drive with the wheels closer than l # feet to the edge of the pavement, says the bureau. For trucks at an average speed of 15 miles an hour, thls distance should not be less than 1A feet on account of the great width of the rear wheel. Three feet seems to be minimum safe clearance between bodies. Inasmuch as a cer- tain amount of truck traffic Is to be expected on all main country roads, the minimum width of surface should be IS feet to provide these clearances when an automobile meets a truck
 Where the frequency with which trucks pass each other becomes big factor, as in the neighbOrhood of large cities. the minimum width of pavement should be 20 feet to provide a clear ance of 31a feet and safe distance of wheels from edge of pavement.
