ASPHALT PAVEMENT
BETTER EVERY YEAI
Four Varieties in Common Use.

Asphalt is the Oldest waterproof
adhesive known to man. It's use dates
back beyond the mists which shroud
prehistoric days. Unlike many basic
materials. science and invention have
not discovered any substitute for IT,
and no synthetic asphalt is producable
commercially which compares either
in price or in utility with the natural
product.
Asphalt is used in roads in many
WAYS, but there are four broad d1Vls-
ions generally recognized by road en-
gineers. These four have been oe-
veloped, and year by year, as furtner
experiments and experience become
available, the types are improved until
now it is generally conceded that tor
its purposes, and when properly laid,
asphalt has no superiors as road
material.
The four generally recognized types
are, (1) asphalt macadam, in which
broken stone has melted asphalt ap-
piled to it to penetrate the entire
course. with stone chips to cover the
surface spaces, and a seal-coat OF hot
asphaIt and stone chips; (2) asphaltlc
concrete, made of an intimate mix
ture of asphalt and broken stone or
gravel sand, laid and compacted while
hot into a single course, sometimes
finished with a seal coat; lS) sheet
asphalt, constructed in two courses
the lower of asphaltic concrete, the
top course of a mixture of asphalt ana
carefully graded mineral filler; ~
asphalt blocks, made of asphaltic con-
crete moulded under heavy pressure
and laid on a sand or mortar cushion
like brick. o,, e..
Asphalt is also used as a filler for
brick movements, mixed with sand TO
form a grout for stone block pave
ments. and to fill the expansion JOINS
in monolithic pavements Of cement.

PRINCESS YOLANDA
| TO WE'D IN PRIVACY
Details of Marriage to Count
CaIvi Being Kept
From Public.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, March 5.-Neither the
royal house nor the government is
giving out details of the forthcom-
ing marriage of Princess Yolando
and Capt. Count Calvi di Bergola, as,
in keeping with the custom of the
house of Savoy. The wedding is con-
sidered strictly a family event, and
no publicity is desired.
The marriage ceremony will take
place April 9, this being the first
day after Easter, on which, accord
ing to the rules of the Catholic
church, a wedding can be celebrated.
Also April 9 is the last day on which
King Victor Emmanuel will be
present in Rome for a considerable
period, as he is to otticiate at the
inauguration of the fair at Milan on
the 18th.
Foreign Courts Cninyited.
It has not been decided where the
religious ceremony will be performed
the Royal Church of Santa Maria
Deglt Angel, where the king was
married. Court circles are inclined
to believe that the marriage will be
celebrated in the Pauline Chapel.
within the royal palace. because 1t
win afford greater privacy and that
Mgr. Beccaria, the court chaplain,
will ofiiciate.
Because of the desire for privacy,
no invitations will be sent to foreign
courts, and therefore the courts will
not be represented.
Cavalry School Plans Gift.
There has been keen .u.io,.,, over
the princess thousseau, but this is
one OF the close held secrets. Despite
the wish of Yolanda that no gifts
be sent to her, but rather that money
intended for this purpose should be
spent on charity, it is known that
the princess will receive a number
of wedding gifts. The officers of the
Pnerolo Military Cavalry School, where
Capt. Calvi was an instructor, will pre-
sent to the princess a gift similar to
that which is made to the brides of all
officers of that institution. a silver
try engraved with representations of
the principal battles in which cavalry
regiments have distinguished them
selves. and having inscribed in the
center the arms and motto of the
school.
The ladies-in-w waiting attached to
the various branches of the Savoy
family are also arranging for a gift.
which probably will be an antique

STATE REVENUE T0
 BE HELD DOWN ID .0LD PROPORTIONS
No Increase In Appropriations Is Contemplated, Says
 Budget Commission
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD

Montgomery. Ala, Aug. 20
 appropriations for state activities during the next quadrenntum will be practically the same as those dur ing the last if the legislature accepts the recomme endation of the state bud get commission. Governor Brandno and other members of the budget commission have estimated that the state revenue which will come from the new revenue law will be about the same as that collected during the administration of Governor Kill by and will recommend the main tenance' of the same appropriations.
 Governor Brandon made this sta tement today in a discussion of the appropriation bills which will be filed with the legislature during the week by the budget commls ssion under the budget act of 1919. The report and probably will be able to submit some of its proposals to the law makers during the early days of the week.
 There will be no increase in ap- propriations unless the voters ratify the constitutional amendment pro- viding a special tax of four mills for educational purposes. All open ap- proprfations will be held down to the present appropriations. However the submission of the constitutional amendment for the special education
 
 intrdouced making additional papro- priations for some of the state activ- tiles, the increases being conditioned on the approval of the Governor. The governor has indicated that no in | crease in appropriations made con- tingent on his approval will be re- leased until he Is convinced that the revenue of the state will be sufficient to meet 1t.
 Plans Special Message.
 Governor Brandon said he will send a special message to the legislature requesting the submission of the constitutional amendment for the spe- cial four mill educational tax. It probably will go to the law makers during the week. If the legislature sees fit to cal the election of the peo- pie will vote on the question at the end of three months after the final adjournment of the present session of the legislature.
 q believe the people of this state want an advance in education and | they will ratify this amendment" said Governor Brandon. The adoption of such an amendment would assure revenue for the support of public edu- l cation and would relieve the necessity l for personal appeals to the legisla- ture to persons interested in educa- tion at every session. The state should establish a method whereby i educational revenue can be assured at all times. This "a. be done by l the ratification of the amendment setting apart a certain amount each 1 year.
 l Without the ratification of the amendment there can be no increase 1 in educational appropriations, accord l Ing to Governor Brandon, who stated l that careful estimates have been made of the state revenue under the new bill and the conclusion has been reached that the state income will be no greater under the new law than it was under the old law. e

NO REAL WEAKNE ESS SHOWN BY MARKET
 AF TER ADVANCES
Profit Taking Is Absorbed And Recovery Comes
 On Close
By WALTER B. BROWN Editor New York Commercial


 NEW York, August 20-Consider- ing the fact that no real weakness developed in Today'S stock market it could be regarded as having given rather satisfactory account of it. self It was fairly strong just after the opening but as 1t has been on the upgrade for the past several days 1t was rather too much of a tempta- tion to professional operators to for go profit taking. This, however, was well absorbed as were practically all offerings and toward the close there was quite a substantial recovery.
 The only downward influence was the profit taking. European devel- opments over the week end were in- terpreted favorably M. Poincares speech was regarded as conciliatory and the feeling persists In Wall Street that the situation will ultim- ately work itself out
 Strike Is Considered.
 In the foreground of domestic af- fairs is the strike possibility in the anthracite coal fields. It is becom- ing increasingly evident that public opinion is against a strike and that 1t will back up the government in whatever steps it may take in hand ling the situation. One thing the pub lie insists on and that is that there must be no further increase in the price of coal. It is already as high ''as the traffic will bear" and it will mean the use of substitutes if it is forced higher. It is well to keep in mind that there Is a great economic law to be reckoned with. The theory is that coal being so great neces- sity consumption can only reach a certain minimum.
 O O O
 Other Power Sources.
 Experience has even shown that man, baffled in one direction is sure to seek recompense in another. If all coal were made unavailable it would only be a matter of time when other sources of power were devel- oped. In this instance it would be only one kind of coal and bituminous would be offered in it's place. One effect however, would be the in crease in the use of fuel oil and there is no telling to what extent 1t would be made permanently to displace coal. Water power development is also possible in many parts of the United States to an extent that will reduce the use of coal materially.
