ROADS SAVED
THROUGH NEW BINDER

When John Louden Macadam, in
1910, began to experiment with brok-
en- stone for building roads he met
with much opposition from the old
"stand-pat" road builders, who con-
tended that the expense would be
prohibitive and that anyway, brok-
en- stone in courses Of assorted sizes
was no better than broken stone of
one size in one course.
Time proved the merit Of Macad-
ANS idea, although the century and
nine years which have elapsed since
his first practical experiment was
tried at Bristol, England, in 1915,
have greatly altered the practice Of
macadamized road building.
Up to the advent of the automobile
Macadam's principles were employed
in their entirety, the broken stone
being bonded with rock dust and
water. the former replaced by the
impact Of iron shod vehicles and
hoofs, the latter by the rain.
When the automobile, with its rap
id movement and broad rubber tires,

TO MAKE STONE FOREST
A NEW NATIONAL PARK

Commercial interests in Arizona
are asking their representatives in
congress to take steps to establish
Arizona's present national monu-
ment", the famous petrified forest,
as national park.
Last season, more than fiftc
thousand motor cars passed through
the stone forest, over the National
Old Trails road, bringing upwards
Of sixty thousand visitors to the re-
gion, exclusive Of those who visited
in other vehicles.
The commercial interest Of Ari-
zona point to the statistics Of other
states and the results Of other ma
tional parks in increasing travel, in
stancing amorg others that Glacier
national park last year drew more
than thirty thousand touring cars ov-
er the Custer Battlefield highway
from Sioux Falls to the park.
It is desired to have the stone for
est made a park instead Of ina
tional monument" because the parks
receive more attention and money
from the government than the "mon-
uments" and particularly do they get
better roads. The national parks
and forests are the only areas in

sucked the rock dust from between
the stones in spite of the gentle
bonding effect of the water, it was
realized that something was lacking
in the roads used for fast, soft-shod
traffic, which lack was not felt un-
der the slow and steel-shod travel.
That something" was a better bond
than water. 1t was found in oils and
tars and bituminous compounds.
Luckily for the millions of dollars in
vested in macadamized roads, an oil,
tar, or bitmuninous binder could, and
was, applied with success to existing
roads, thus saving to the taxpayers
miles of highways which were other
wise doomed.
Today, all macadamized roads are
built with bituminous oil or tar bind
er applied during the building, but
the basic principles Of larger founda-
ton and smaller upper course, top
ped by wearing surface of finely
crushed rock and dust, bound into
place by something, is still employed
Macadam's greatest m ,nument is the
dropping of the capital letter in his
name and making it the label for al
roads built of crushed rock laid ir
courses Of different sizes.

toned to sing at home when she was
a girl, and she had carried 1t on with
her grandchildren. But she never had
heard it in music.
In her eagerness she stepped to the
parlor doorway, which was almost hid
den in greenery. Suddenly two pairs
of arms were inclosing her neck, and
one pair belonged to Rose Other
arms were reaching for her; and be-
yond, hesitating Sam, who was too
big to kiss anybody, lifted his arms.
"Why-why, my dears," murmured
Grandma, looking bewildered.
Look up" laughed Sue.
Grandma did, and there was q huge
bunch Of mistletoe over the door.
Lead the queen to her throne and
render homage" ordered Kate.
There was a raised chair decorated
with holly and mistletoe, near one side
of the fireplace. Grandma was con-
Quoted to it deferentially, then the
ushers sank to their knees with grave
faces but swapping eyes.
"Hail to the queen of love and the
Kitchen" they chanted, and Jenny
added, Including crisp doughnuts."
ooh, my dears-my dears," softly.
"Now for the distribution Of pres
ents," cried May springing up.
Grandma had noticed rotund stock
ings along the fireplace, with an extra
large one near her end, and sundry
packages on the floor underneath.
The big stocking was laid on her
lap, and packages began to follow. She
recognized things she had wished, and
books she had mentioned desire to
read. For Grandma, in spite Of her
perfect housekeeping, loved to read.
II thought it was for dance"
she faltered, her hands caressing the
gifts.
"O-o-oh, Grandma" The idea! On
this day It's for all of us, but most
ly you"
Rose and Jenny were dancing about,
as pleased as any of the family.
Grandmas tremulous hands reached
out and drew them close.
"You must stay with us all day,
dears," she urged happily-"and Bill
too There's plenty an to spare
cooked. Christmas has begun so Won
derful that you must help us carry 1t
through"

The hall door opened softly, and a
fuzzy head and swapping eyes ap-
peared. 1t was Rose Cady.
What does my nose smellY' she
questioned shifting. 'It tells me I'm
hungry. May / come IMP
"Of course, dear"
Rose shot in, one hand outstretched.
MAY IY' she begged
"All you can carry" beamed Grand
ma They're just right to eat now,

The key turned, and few moments
later the sound Of strained and heavy
steps passed through the front door
way and into the parlor.
"Gettin' ready for a dance, an that's
the Smith music box they're bringin'
in. Likely they're up to lot O. deco
ratin', an aint give q thought to
Christmas comm. wish-no, they're
just high-spirited young folks maxim
ready for good time. That's ALL"
But in spite OF herself there was a
shadow on Grandma's face the rest
of the day. She had hoped for a
big surprise Christmas dinner, all to
themselves, with no intruders
She mixed and baked until after
midnight, then slipped through the
side door to her room. She was
awakened by slight step.
"W-h-y, Grandma" reproved the
merry voice Of Kate. ''Nine o'clock I
and you're still in bed. Not Ill, are
your" with sudden note Of anxiety.
"No," apologixed Grandma-"just
oversight"
"All right. Merry Christmasl And
come right into the hall when you're
dressed. You may look now"
Grandma rose hurriedly. She heard
the voices of Rose and Jenny Cady,
and even Eds.
"NOt even q family Christmas to-
gether," her thought deplored "And
here so early means lot more AKIN
for the dance. I'd nke-for 'em to

thought finished Loyalty. young

AS she opened the door to the ha1l

She cleaned her wrinkled and capa-
bic hands from the dough and turned
to see that the fire and kettle Of melt
ed lard were just right. They were.
Then with deft, experienced fingers she
began to drop twisted bits of dough
into the hot lard, which in few min
utes changed them to crisp doughnuts.
"Such appetites," she nodded to her
self happily. "Sue an Kate an May
are always just as hungry as Tom an
Win, or even big Sam who's grown up
an steadied down to regular work.
Five will rush in from School, an Sam

reminiscently. II do wish daughter
Nell could have lived to see 'em grow
up so even May fourteen, an her twin
Win almost as big's his brother. Nell
would have done better by 'em, Of
course, but I've done my best"
The outer door was flung open and
a rush of many feet crowded into the
hall. Grandma looked up expectantly.
But the feet stopped at the parlor
door, and a subdued hubbub Of voicees
arose.
Grandma sighed again, and bent
lower over her work. Them flutter-

SILVA MAINTAINS
 SWEEPING DENIAL 'OF HILL ROBBERY
Jury Expected To Return Verdict In Case
 Monday

Ivanhoe Silva of Tampa, Fla, oE trial before Judge Fort and a jury in circuit court on charges of burglary and grand larceny, in connection with the footing of the Hill Grocery company s warehouse two years ago, entered n sweeping denial of the charges when he took the stand in his own behalf late Friday afternoon.
 q know absolutely nothing about this robbery" Silva said, answering ques- tions propounded by Harris Burns, hls attorney. He was cool and composed as he faced the jury and told how his arrest was a complete surprise to him. He declared hundreds of people in Tampa would gladly testify that he was a man of good character and that the worst charge ever placed against him before was for speeding.
 All other testimony in the case has been concluded, but Silva was still on the stand when adjournment was taken Friday night. A verdict is not expected before Monday. This is Silva's second trial, the first having resulted in a mis' trial.
 Assistant Solicitors Mccoy and Long placed in evidence Friday the tools used in cracking the safe of the Hill firm They claim that these tools were taken from n car in which Silva and others were seen riding about the city.
 Policeman D. l.. Sable, witness for the state, identified Silva as one of the men he shot at on the night of the Hlll robbery. J. l.. Davis, realtor, testl. fled he rented Silva an apartment and that he. saw Silva in possession of the same car which officers fired on in con- nection with the subsequent robbery.

SENATOR LODGE
 GAINS SLIGHTLY
Able To Take Food For First
 Time In 48 Hours

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 7.-Sena- tor Henry Cabot Lodge is slightly i'm proved, although his condition remains very grave. A bulletin from the Charles gate hospital late Friday afternoon an nounced' that Lodge was taking in creased amounts of nourishment and experiencing more sustained periods of consciousness.
 The announcement, issued in the form of bulletin at o'clock by Drs. John H. Cunningham, surgeon, and Frederick Winslow, the Lodge family physician, added confirming touch of encourage ment to day that had seen the "A year-old senator's first conscious act and the administration of first nourishment in 48 hours.
 No further bulletins were to be is- sued until midnight.
 Admitting that Senator Lodges re- sistance to the effects of the shock he suffered Wednesday noon was sur prising," Dr. Cunningham told news paper men Friday afternoon that lit is most astonishing that he is still alive"
 At the same time the surgeon re- vealed that just as the noon whistles sounded in Cambridge, Senator Lodge experienced a period of consciousness, recognized Dr. Cunningham, spoke to him, and even, fished into the surgeon $ vest pocket for his watch to compare its time with that of the whistles.
 When this occurred, Dr. Cunningham said Senator Lodge had had practically no nourishment since last Monday. He amplified this by saying ''he has taken small amounts of liquid food today with great difficulty. His pulse remains good and his respiration normal. 1t IS astonishing that he is still alive"

Macdonald, Past Years Occupant, Leaves As
 Baldwins Take Charge
Leased Wire to The Age-Herald.)

LONDON, Nov. 7.-Englands exper- iment with a labor government ended Friday when a moderate sized moving van wheeled into the narrow alley known as Downing street and removed from Number 10 the few personal furn- ishings that former Premier Ramsay Macdonald brought there with him less than one year ago. The MacDonalds are going back to their prosy little house in Hampstead with it's bulgy bay window, cramped front garden and stained glass door.
 Earlier Friday Macdonald had led his beaten cabinet into the royal pres ence at Buckingham palace where the labor ministers delivered to King George their seals of office, which were distributed to the new conservative ministers.
 Baldwin will take over Number 10 Monday, but fortnight probably will pass before all the Baldwin possessions are moved into the official residence. When the. .Baldwins entered Number 10 in 1923 following the resignation of Premier Bonar Law they had hardly got settled before they had to move again. Macdonald realized he wouldn't t be there long when he succeeded the Baldwins. This time, however, the gov ernment seems destined to endure for at least four years and if the premier can retain his hold on the conservative party leadership his moving troubles are oyer for that long.
 Isabel Macdonald supervised the packing of the family traps and flut- tered among the movers as the boxes were carried into the street and sent away to Hewitt road in Hampstead where the MacDonalds occupy modest little house which is exactly similar to those that stretch away from it in either direction. The side walls of MacDonald's house are also the side walls of the houses on either side of it. His neighbors are travelling sales men, dignified office clerks and busi- ness men of small means.
 There are no garages in Hewitt road any if Macdonald keeps the automo- bile given him by a wealthy admirer he will be one of the few on his street who do not ride to work in the un- derground or on a bus.
 Following the meeting of the privy council at the palace the conservative The energetic Winston Churchill leaped into a motor and went at once to the treasury and took over the job of chan cellor of the exchequer.
 Churchill's father, Lord Randolph Churchill, once held the position his son has now won. It failed to lead to the premiership for the father but Winston is tremendously ambitious and must expect ultimately to gain the high est office within the gift of the crown and people.
