NEW ROAD BUILDING MACHINE
ROLLS AS ITS GRADES.

A new design Of bodybuilding ma
chine, recently completed and tested,
cuts the roadbedl to the desired
grade, delivers the excavated ma
terial to wagons or trucks, and rolls
the surface as it proceeds, or can be
used as plain roller after the grad
ing is finished Two small rollers,
equipped with an endless tread at one
end and a larger roller at the other
end, support rectangular frame of
channel iron upon which is mounted
the excavating and loading mechan-
ism, as we'll as the 65-horsepower gas
oline engine. The excavating element
consists of drum feet in diameter,
which is located in the center of the
frame and is provided with heavy g.
inch teeth that will cut to any depth
from IL inch to IL feet. 1t cuts
a swath 6 feet inches wide, making
allowance for the crown of the road,
and advances to 10 feet a minute,
depending upon the depth of cut and
the nature of the roadbed.

PRICE OF RApIuM REDUCED BY
DISCOVERY OF ORES.

Due to the discovery in Katanga,
Belgian Congo, Of large deposits OF
easily worked pitchblende ores, and
the erection In Belgium of plant for
producing radium from these ores,
the price Of that precious mineral has
dropped from $4,000 to $4,000 q
gram. The newly found deposits
carry many times as much radium as
the carnotite ores that have hitherto
been the governing factor in the
worlds markets. It is not yet certain,
however, that these Congo deposits
will eventually yield as much radium
as the deposits in the plateau region
of the United States. but for the pres.
ent, lending themselves to a cheaper
process Of refinement they will con.

was scarce pretended; and for one
very significant circumstance, the
master and Secundra had been Con
some pretex) deprived Of weapons.
On their side, however, the threat

friendship handsomely; Secundra was
all bows, the master all smiles; and
on the last night Of the truce he had
even gone SO far as to sing for the
diversion of the company. 1t was
observed that he had also eaten with
unusual heartiness, and drank deep;
doubtless from design.
At least, about three in the morn
ing, he came out Of the tent into the
open air, audibly mourning and com
planning, with all the manner of a
sufferer from surfeit. For some while
Secundra publicly attended on his
patron, who at last became more easy,
and fell asleep on the frosty ground

happy position. If they go cavorting
about the country looking for votes
business Is certain to suffer and the
lawyers will need be called in.
Four bankers are sitting in the SEN
ate this session and three in the
house. That gives them a bloc Of
seven. They rank next to the lum-
bermen, who have nine in the house
and five In the senate. Seven real es-
tate men are seated in the house, but
none are in the senate The medical
profession is represented by three
doctors in the house and two surgeons
in the senate. The women have one
senator and four house members.
The division of the different profes.
sions and business callings do not
make much difference ordinarily at
election time, but it is helpful at this
season of the year when some group
has a bill which it desires enacted
into legislation.
Fasteners Predominant.
Strange as it seems, the legislature
is made up largely Of men who were
born east Of the Missouri river, but
no state Is represented by enough ma
tive sons to claim large majority.
Washington, perhaps, has the largest
number of men born In any single
state despite the fact only two Of the
senators and II of the house members
first opened their eyes in the COM
monwealth which they now serve.
The Canadians and the Scandina-
VANS have done we'll, too. In the 1928
session, while the Irish do not have
enough to boast of, indicating that
the balance of power is slipping from
the hands of the sons of the Elmer
aid isle. OF the Canadians there are
seven. The Swedes have two house
members, the Norwegians two and the
Danes one. There are two Irishmen,
two Englishmen, one German and q
native of Iceland
Young men do much better In the
house than in the senate, which &C.
counts for the presence of so few ma
tive born Washingtonians in the up.
