how much more delicate in texture. And
we felt pretty sure that they would notice
how much longer it kept fresh and how
much more satisfying it was to the appetite.
But we weren't prepared for the posi-
lively sensational demand for it--even
from the very first month.

This is the bane of the road builder
and it adds UNNECESSARILY to the

In many instances. motorists
could take other and, perhaps,
longer routes and would save con.
siderably by doing %. The fact
remains, however. that they prefer
to take the shorter and more ex-

Many of the processes involved In
road building or in road preserva-
ton at the present time are excel

accrue to future tax payers in the
form of lower expenditures for
road maintenance.
Those highway departments which
are looking to the future are build
ing better foundations and are pay
Ing considerable attention to the
matter of drainage of the subsoil.
Naturally this greatly increases the
cost Of road building per mile.
One Of the new processes has to
DO with protecting highways after
they have been built. Many motor.
lists who have paused long enough
to get the picture of this new work
have seen road builders busily en-
gagged IN laying coating Of what

a road which appears relatively new

any treatment whatsoever.

lection for the new road greatly IN

since this darker protective coating
absorbs more heat from the sun
and therefore tends to melt what
ever ice may have collected on the
surface of the road.
This later fact also helps to tro-
tect the road against those long
damaging grooves which are so
familiar to the motorist who has
driven over the older types Of con.
crete pavements.
If detours are unpopular with the
nnotorist they are even more so to
the highway department.
The same motorist who wonders
where his money goes when he
pays his taxes and fails to see as
many miles of new highway con-
struction as he desires, complains
most because detours are not the
boulevards he would like to have
them. He takes this attitude re.
gardless of whether 1t would have
been possible for him to have
selected an alternate route rather
than drive through the section

Detours are costly. Moreover,

 Washington Bureau of the x 5. Jerald) Washington, D.

 The annual report of the board of trustees of the postal savings system, just submitted to congress by Postmaster General Harry $. New, chairman of the board, shows that III New Britain residents had savings on deposit at the local post office on June 30, the end O. the fiscal year 1927.
 This was a decline in inc num- Der of depositors compared with the preceding year, as well as a decrease in the total amount on de- post, At the close of the fiscal year l92b, 1hCre were 150 depostOrS on record and the sum on deposit to- talcd S47.8i7.
 During the last five years there has been considerable tluctuation in both the number of dcposltors and the balances to their credit at the close of each fiscal period. At the close of 1923 there were 176 de- posltors with balance of SG3,3S7 and the following year there were 182 persons with q balance of SGS,- S42. In 1925 there were 143 deposi- tors and the balance was s49,047.
