CONCRETE ROAD VIBRATIONS
Experiment Started to Determine
Amount Of Moisture Increase
Under the Road.

Does vibration caused by the move
ment Of a vehicle over road increase
the amount of moisture In the earth
under the road, and thus weaken Its
bearing power? This question will be
answered when results are secured
from an experiment just started by
the bureau Of public roads, United
States Department Of Agriculture. Two
similar concrete slabs have been con-
structed side by side, and on one there
will be placed a gasoline engine with
an unbalanced fywheel which will
cause vibration. Soil samples will be
taken from under the slabs and the
amounts Of moisture compared. This
experiment Is undertaken, not with the
idea that road vibration can be pre-
vented, but to determine whether suffi-
cient increase In the moisture OF the
subgrade Is caused by it to weaken the
bearing power Of the soil, and incl
dentally, to develop new ways of test
ing methods of subgrade treatment.

.IrIIS is the story Of an Indian who
rose to fame not as warrior nor as
,ator but as the inventor Of an al
|habet for Ills people which enabled
,on TO write and read their own Ian
mage. Sequoyah (Sikwayi) of the
herokees was born in Tennessee In
7eO. The boy grew up among the In
,ans unacquaInted with the white
ans tongue or any of his arts.
An accident made him cripple
NJ life and he became a craftsman
silyerwork and skilled mechanic.
also made photographs showing the
eat deeds of the Cherokee on the
arpath In 1909, impressed by the
lue Of the white mans talking
ayes" (books), Sequoyah conceived
system Of writing, suitable to the
herokee tongue. Undismayed by
dicule, he persisted In his studies
ntil convinced that the CherOkees
ID So syllables, which in various COM
nations constituted their vocabulary.
lis next problem was to design SYM
dis for each syllable, and that being
one, he taught his six-year-Old daugh-
4 to build words from these symbols.
In 1921 Sequoyah demanded a trial
br his alphabet, and In a public test
proved its worth. The chiefs en-
orsed his invention and Cherokees of
Il ages learned the alphabet with en-
husiasm. The next year he left his
nlage in Georgia to visit the Chero-
lees In Arkansas and carry his inven-
Ion TO them. Again he was success
III. Two years later parts OF the 81
1e were printed in Cherokee. In 1923,
he Cherokee Phoenix, the first period
kal ever printed In any Indian Ian
mage, was published as weekly at
lew Echota, Ga.
When Sequoyah's tribesmen were
emoyed TO Indian Territory he was
be great leader in organizing the re-
nited nation. But he was little inter-
sted In politics. Among his people
5AS the tradition OF lost Cherokee
kibe that had wandered west before
De Revolution.
Although Sequoyah was then more
han eighty years old, he resolved to
arry his message Of education to the
bet tribe. His quest led him into Mex
10 and there, In August, 1843, weak
ned by privation, he died. He was
buried in an unknown grave, but he
has to have a grander memorial than
kny monument Of stone. When the
" trees of California were discOv-
red, It was decided to call these giant
edwoods sequoias, an everlasting trib-
&te to an Indian who gave his people
: printed language Of their own.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-Readiness with

dav on change even where the

with May, Silly to $1.11ss and
July, $1.01 to $1.01h.
Corn gained 1% to 1%c, oats B to
1c and provisions 21zc to zoe.
The fact that rumors of impending
financial trouble for board Of trade
firms had in every instance failed
to be substantiated and that ample
funds were shown to be available led
to general buying and a sharp ad-
vance when the wheat market
opened. Belief appeared to be wide~
spread that selling was much over
done and as a consequence the PIT
TODAY was at times almost bare Of
ferings. Another bullish influence
was gossip that export business on a
liberal scale was in progress ana
that purchases for Europe during
Yesterdays depression amounted to
]. 600, 900 bushels. Absence of mois-
ture in the dry sections OF Texas,
Oklahoma and Kansas, together with
unwelcome rains in Argentina tend

tendencies prevailed in the stock

strengthened in the afternoon in re-
sponse to easy money and the sup
port accorded selected issues, such
as sugars, textiles, tobaccos and

ties. Dealings were extensive, ap-
proximating S50,000 shares, but a
large proportion of the business
converged around less than score
of leaders, comprising the oil, mo-
tor, rubber, steel and equipment
divisions.
Sentiment continued to be swayed
by the Chicago banking episode and
the less favorable aspects OF the in
dustrial situation, especially as af-
fecting the automobile and allied
trades.

in consequence of yesterdays omis-
sion of the Kelly Springfield stock
dividend. Shippings, chemicals and
numerous miscellaneous shares de-

and rails, coalers excepted, were rel
egated to obscurity.
The money market again was the
greatest source of encouragement to
bullish initiative. Call loans dropped
from 5l59o to $50 at midday and
were literally supplied at Az in the
last half of the session. Dealings IN
foreign exchange were light, the
London rate easing only slightly. All
other continental bills except Belgian

points.
