ROAD BUILDING TESTS
HELD AS MONEY SAVER
Statement Made That Illinois Re
duced Cost of Construction by So
100000 Through Experiments.
by the Associated Press

by tho Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD. H., February %
Approximately 100000 has been
saved by Illinois In her road building
program by use Of the facts and in
formation from the Bates Expert
mental Road tests in 1922.
Officials of the department estimate
that as a result of the experiments
$4,000 was saved on each of the $500
miles of hard road built since the tests
were conducted in July, 1928. Savings
consisted in using less material and
eliminating several construction proc.
esses in vogue before the tests were
made.
The experimental road attracted in
ternational attention at a time when
information on hard-road building was
scarce. Six groups of test sections
were built, each representing a diff
ferent type of pavement. Each group
in turn was made up of a. series of
sections of graduate thickness and
strength and subjected to all kinds of
traffic use.

LET THE "CANNoN's" ROAR

While campaigning in Iowa "Uncle
Joe" Cannon was once inveigled into
visiting the public schools of town
where he was billed to speak. In one
of the lower grades an ambitious
teacher called upon youthful Demos
themes to entertain the distinguished
visitor with an exhibition of amateur
oratory. The selection attempted
was Byron's Battle Of Waterloo" and
just as the boy reached the end ofthe
first paragraph Cannon gave vent to a
violent sneeze. "But, hush! bark"
declaimed the youngster; "a deep
sound strikes like a rising knell! Did
We not hear it ?"
The visitors smiled and moment
later the second sneeze-which the eX-
speaker was vainly trying to hold
back-came with increased violence.
"But, hark!' bawled the boy, that
heavy sound breaks in once more, and
nearer, clearer, deadlier than before!
Arm! arm! it is-it is-the cannon'S S
opening roar"
This was too much, and the laugh
that broke from the party swelled tc
a roar when "Uncle Joe" chuckled:
"Put up your weapons, children; L
won't shoot any more"
