WIDER HIGHWAYS ADVOCATED
Experts Urge Importance Of Adopting
20 Feet as Standard Width Of
Improved Roads.

Experts have been urging upon the
American good roads congress the i'm
poFtance of adopting 20 feet as the
standard width of paved roadways.
They hold that in the end the wider
road will cost no more than the mar
row track. Some of them even say that
a width in excess of 20 feet may prove
economical in the end because a wider
road secures a more even distribution
of the traffic. there is less rutting, and
smaller danger exists of damaging the
shoulders of the road by running off
the pavement An ultimate width of
100 feet is urged in approaches TO
large centers where the traffic is ex-
ceedingly heavy. A variation in the
width of the highway TO accommodate
different densities of travel win be
worked out in time. The claim that 20
feet should be the minimum whenever
the traffic reaches 1.00e vehicles day
is one of the interesting developments
of modern road building,

IMPROVED
ROADS
COST OF GRADING HIGHWAYS
Great Variation in Conditions in Diff
ferent Sections of Country is
Noted in Data.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture
A great variation in the conditions
under which grading for highways is
done in different sections of the United
States is reflected in cost data com
piled by the bureau of public roads,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, on 1850 miles of federal-aid
road. The figures cover the four-year
period 1917-1921 and are based on a
total of 241z million yards Of earth.
For the groups of states the average
price per cubic yard is as follows:
New England and Middle Atlantic
states, $1.33; East North Central
$0.6S; West North Central. s0.49 /;
South Atlantic, $0.61; East South Cen
trail, SOIL: West South Central, $0.35;
Mountain, $0.52; and Pacific states,
s0.6l. The general average price was
s0.56.
Probably the most important factor
affecting the cost was the amount OF
grading to be done per mile, the guam
tity being very small in the groups hay-
ing the highest prices. In general it
is noticed that where mostly old roads
are rebuilt. the light work and tearing
up the old pavement greatly affected
the cost The amount of fine grading
or trimming required for the higher
types Of pavement was also factor.

While each group Of states did not

that the average cost Of grading grad

INTO GREAT FILM.

Life as it was in 1870 in the min
ing country in North England pro-
y-des new atmosphere for Priscilla
Deans appearance in "The Flame of
Life" at the Rylander theater to-
day and Thursday.
A simple but gripping story of
very plain people is the basis of this
Hobart Henley production. It was
adapted from one Of Frances Hodg-
son Burnett's famous novels.
This picture is one of the finest
works Mr.. Henley has made and it
will rank high among the years of
ferings.
Robert Ellis appears as a man of
higher caste than the heroine. His
is an uplifting hand, helping the girl
of the mines to gain her heritage
of happiness and prosperity.
Wallace Beery's peculiar ability to
be "a hundred per cent vilainous' is
demonstrated in the role of the brut-
al father, untouched by kindness.
The Flame Of Life" offers Miss
Dean such a role as she has never
had, unique in all the details of its
portrayal The strength of it is in
the fast that she has no aids in the
way of beautiful sets, gorgeous
gowns or hidden wealth.
