BETTER
ROADS
Franks of Temperature
Ruin Expensive Roads

Jack Frost and Merry Sunshine are
wr1nkling the brows OF highway en-.
gineers and contractors. Their pranks
are running expensive hard-surfaced
and paved highways.
During the winter months frost pene-
trates deep under the road esurface,
freezing and refreezing the subsoil nu-
merous times. Then, just like freezing
water breaks the water pipe, the SUBJ
soil bulges up and cracks the surface
of the highway. Rain and slush seeps
through these cracks, freezes again.
and the process Of destruction goes
merrily on.
When spring comes the final touches
are put on the breaking up of the road.
The spring rains rush through the
yawning cracks aud wash away the
subsoil, leaving hollow shell. The
warm sunshine aids in the destruction
drying the surface and making 1t brit
tie. 1t is no time then until the road
crumbles away under the heavy traffic
impacts.
Highway engineers of a big rubber
concern travel and transport bureau
declare that rapidlyincreasing high
way travel is focusing the attention Of
bodybuilding experts to this underlying
cause Of highway destruction. They
say that governmental and private
agencies have, in the past ten years,
lost sight of adequate subgrade soil
treatment in their eagerness to produce
hard, wear-resisting surfaces for high
ways.
Men prominent in highway develop
ment, say the bureaus experts. now
recognize the urgent need of spending
the necessary time and money to build
proper road foundations and drainages
before expensive stretches of highway
are constructed. Searching study and
analysis Of subsols will figure more
prominently in future road-building
than any other phase of the work. they
say. 20,

average yearly rate Of approximately
100000 for the preceding five years.

A comparison Of the truck registra-
ton figures with those for the preced-
ing year shows an increase Of 80 per
cent, indicating that this. phase Of
highway transport is undergoing rapid
development. The Increase in truck
registration is not confined to indus
trial sections. Such agricultural states
as Virginia Indiana and Florida show
increases of 80 per cent, 80 per cent
and 20 per cent respectively, which
seems to indicate that many farmers
are changing their method of hauling
as result of road Improvement.
The total gross registration revenue
amounted to 152,047,S23, Of which
$117093,116 was applied to road work
under the supervision of the state
highway departments. Eighteen states
taxed gasoline. deriving a revenue Of
81 ,923,442. not all of the states re-
porting for full twelve-month period.
OF this amount, $6,474,178 was spent

MAIL SORTING BY

vention to sort mail about ten years
ago thought one of these whose name

inventor working with two assistants
one after the other Sorting mail has
been slow process and always by
hand. The new mechanical device now
perfected will revolutionize this bust
ness. The invention has cost three
quarters of millions dollars and the
plant has been moved from the Good
rich plant at Akron, o.. to Newark, N
!. The machine is now being tried
out i'll the p. O. at Washington and
if it proves the success its inventor
Gasemir Gehring hopes it will go in
to use in all large postoffices as well
as in other business and industry.
Five operators sit at one machine
and operate from keyboard similar

patches letter to its proper COM

BLACK OR WHITE
The contention at Tuskegee over
the color of the medical personnel in
the government hospital for negro
veterans seems illogical at this per
spective. If white nurses were being
introduced we could understand the
antagonism as being in line with white
teachers in colored schools. If the hos
pitai were city hospital so that
white patients might ever become its
inmates there would be reason.
None but negro patients can ever be
treated there then why the hue and
cry? The colored personnel of the
famous institute at Tuskegee brought
IT on the map in the first, place. Who
outside OF the State would have heard
OF Tuskegee but for Booker Wash
ington and some OF his coworkers.
Today the most famous resident OF
their own is perhaps George Carver

agricultural and the scientific world
for the results he has achieved in his
laboratory and from all accounts he
