The avenue is paved and last
winter being very hard on asphalt

into. In dry weather one has to

holes.
There are two gravel companies
operating on this section of Ken

from the trucks run all over the

Careless Driving Cause
of Much Useless Waste

a large motor company in calling at
tention to the useless wear and tear
on the car, combined with reckless
waste of gasoline.
did you ever notice." he added.
"how some drivers take turns? A
honk of the horn-a rush of air, and
they're gone--if the road is clear. If
it isn't, the brakes lock with a slam,
the wheels slide, there's a smell of
burned rubber, the clutch is Olsen
gagged, the motor races it's head off.
And what does this all mean? Useless
veal on tires, excessive waste of gaso-
line and oil, severe strains on the en-
CINE, and certain damage to the brakes.
'The greatest racing car pilots slow
down for turns on the track. They do
that because they know how to get the
best results. / cannot figure out why
some passenger-car drivers don't use
the same good judgment.
Il feel pretty strongly on this sub
ject, and / believe that a little extra
caution on the part of every automo-
bile owner in America will make it pos
sible for all of us to get the utmost

Every Motorist Should
Have Handy Hydrometer

Experienced motorists who really
take care of their cars find that unless
their storage batteries are tested regu-
larry, battery repairs and requirements
soon become an expensive habit which
could easily have been avoided.
Every motorist should have a hy-
promoter and should test his battery
every week according to the directions
which accompany this instrument.
When the battery tests appreciably be-
low 1850, it is an Indication that 1t
needs charging. The engine should
then be run with the gears in neutral
till the %hydrometer shows a reading Of
more than 1850. If the test shows the
battery to be below 1900, it is too far
discharged to be remedied by this
treatment and should be taken at once
to a service station.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1925-10-15

1t provides for all of these important
requirements, and at the same time
offers an attractive appearance in har-
mony with home surroundings.
A garage. properly designed and
constructed will enhance rather than
detract from the beauty of the sur
~roundings. Some predominant fea-
lures in the house design usually can
be introduced in the lines of the ga
rage to give unity of appearance.
Sharp contrast in design between
garage and dwelling is harsh and
should be avoided. In whatever loca-
ton the garage is placed, it usually
appears in a general view of the house
and should, therefore, harmonic with
it. An almost endless variety of col
ors and surface finishes is possible
with portland cement stucco, the usual
method of ~surfacing garages built Of
concrete masonry. Portland cement
stucco can be given smooth, stippled,
spatter dash. or any of the newer
textural finishes that are proving so
popular.

Construction of Roads
in Arkansas Progre

The cost of building roads is al
ways an important item. Hard sur
faced roads may seem more expensive
but they more than pay for them.
selves. This has been well Illustrated
by Melvin T. Traylor, president of the
First National bank of Chicago, in an
address to the forty-ninth annual con
vention of the American Bankers as
ISOLATION. He is quoted as saying:
Much of our recent debt has been for
good roads. In most parts of the coun-
try these cost in the neighbOrhood of
$25.0 OO per mile, but they add immedi-
ate increased value of $40 to $50 per
acre to every foot of land they trav-
erse and they certainly add increased
dollars to every item produced on
farms bordering or near them, to say
nothing of the comfort and happiness
which safe and easy travelling Eel
them brings to the rural communities.
'There are many methods Of pro
vidipg funds for road building. Regard
less of the manner in which the funds
are obtained. the principal thing to be
considered is that the roads shall be
SO built that they will render service
at little expense long after payment
for them is completed. Any other type
of construction is waste; waste which
is doubly abusive in that construction
and maintenance go on larger and
larger. while at the same time the
user and those who benefit from the
roads are paying an excessive cost for
inadequate highways.
"More and wider roads of permanent
construction must be built. Otherwise
money is being spent upon construc-
ton which Don wears out-which Is
impossible during weeks of the year
and which is lettering the growth Of
the transportation system and com
munity development. 1t rests with the
people who furnish the money whether
roads shall be built for the present or
for the future"
The Monmouth inquirer., 1925-10-15

In rural districts the car and trac-
tor often are stored in a corner Of the
barn or implement shed. This is I'M
satisfactory because 1t greatly in
creases the fire risk to the building
and its contents as well as to the au-
tomobiie and tractor. Another result
is al increase on the insurance pre-
MUM. Car storage in any building
used as a stable Is likely to be objec-
tionable because fumes from stable
refuse soon dull the gloss and luster
of the varnish and tarnish the metal
parts. Dust and moisture, which are
always present around a barn are also
injurious to vanished surfaces. The
farm garage Is often made large
enough to accommodate the automo-
bile, truck and tractor.
A garage which provides for protec-
ton against the weather, security
against fire and theft, and reasonable
convenience in it's use and mainte-
nance is the kind desired by the aver
age builder. A garage constructed of
concrete is the preferred type because

WATER ESSENTIAL
IN CURING ROADS

While as little water as possible
should be used for the mix in highway
construction, 1t is essential that a suf-
ficient quantity be used for curing.
An important item therefore in the
construction of good quality pavements
Is water in quantities to meet the
needs of the contractor. That this
supply may always be available. 1t Is
advisable for the Inspector to satisfy
himself that the pumping equipment
and pipe line Is adequate for all re-
quirements.
Water Is needed for three primary
purposes: Wetting the %subgrade, mix
ing the material. and curing the pave
ment. The quantity required natural
Iy varies with the progress made,
weather conditions and other factors
peculiar to each JOB. In general. a
supply Of from 10000 to $4,000 gallons
per day for each 100 lineal feet of 49,
foot pavement constructed will be suf-
fieient. This is assuming an equiv
alent depth Of about one inch for
curing and wetting the subgrade and
a maximum amount for mixing water
of eight gallons for each bag of ce-
ment used. The total quantity re
quired for each 100 lineal feet of 49,
foot pavement will, therefore. be APP
~proximately 300 gallons for wetting
subgrade, 2,200 gallons for mixing, and
10000 gallons for curing assuming a
specified curing period of IA days).
For each additional 100 feet of prog
ress an equal amount will be needed.
The rate at which the supply is to be
delivered depends upon the speed with
which the pavement is being placed.
Few contractors require more than so
gallons per minute and this amount is
usually ample for the average job.
The size and length of the pipe line
Is as much a factor in determining the
rate at which water will be delivered
as is the pumping equipment. A table
of friction heads for various size pipes
will show, for example, that a new
Pinch pipe delivering so gallons per
minute has a friction head of Sc feet
for each 100 feet Of length, while a
2k-inch pipe delivering the same
amount of water has a friction head
of only 1876 feet per 100 feet of length.
For old, rusted pipe, from 25 to 80 per
cent should be added to the friction
loss and allowance must be made for
fittings and angles.
Generally, a pipe line having a fric-
ton head of more than 5 feet per 100
feet Of length will be uneconomical
and a larger pipe should be substituted.
A long pipe line with a high friction
head imposes a heavy duty on the
pumps and it is frequently necessary
to install a booster pump along the line
when the available pipe line is Of small
diameter.
BY making a study of this important
subject of water supply for a job, the
Inspector can often render valuable
assistance to the contractor and guard
against delays and unpleasantness due
to lack of water for curing.

The popular demand for better roads
reared its head recently when the gov

to meet a current federal aid fund al
lotment, which the Legislature had
failed to appropriate. The first letters
were addressed to bankers of small
Kansas towns and villages. In the
executive mail the day after the first
appeal went out to small banks came
offers totaIlng $1l1.000.
