Stepping Stones Can
Be Made Decorative

Stepping stones were used largely
from necessity in the colonial gar
dens, as they afforded the only kind
of permanent walk available. AT the
same time however, they contributed
a decorative feature which modern
gardeners are quick to appreciate.
Cement hagstones can easily be
made by modern landscape architects
and gardeners with most satisfactory
results. In fact, if they are cast in
place they have some advantages over
natural stone. In the first place, THE
stones are always solid. The sod fits
up closely around them. giving an ap

Chicago Promised Real
Traffic Congestion Soon

Within the next five years Chicago
will have twice as many automobiles
as 1t had in 1925.
This is the forecast of Cook coun-
ty traffic issued by to, bureau of good
roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
In its statement making this pre-
diction the bureau outlined plan
for highway improvement to prevent
traffic congestion on the county high
ways at that time, when there will be
an average of one car for every 4.S6
persons in Chicago.
These figures, bureau officials stated,
are not guesses, but careful estimates
based on traffic data obtained in Cook
county, together with population
trends and the rate Of motor increase
during the years 1914 to 1924.

Throughout the United States there
are 96929 state and federal govern
ment-owned motor vehicles.
Rough roads cause considerable
damage to the working parts of an
automobile. Uneven roads are often
unnoticed while driving as the body
Of the car does not shake with the
axles and differential.
The II states traversed by the Lin
coin highway, between New York city
and San Francisco, with the aid of
the federal government, spent more
than 100000 during 1925 to put the
route in first-cass condition,
There are many wide streets and
broad boulevards paved in the United
States, but the widest city thorough
fare on record is in San Bernardino,

The most heavily Travelled grade
crossing in Los Angeles is to be elimi-

MORE AND BETTER
ROADS EXPECTED

Highway construction for 1926 will
result not only in better and smooth
er roads, but new records are expect
ed to be made in roadway building,
according TO survey just completed
by CIR. Stokes, manager of the high
way construction department Of the
National Lime association.
series of tests made in various
sections of the country show that by
adding hydrated lime to the mix,
material saving in time Is secured,
particularly on grades and curves, ac
cording to leading engineers and con-
tractors who took part in the tests.
Experiments in building a road in
marathon county, Wisconsin, showed
that an average of II more lineal feet
of 1S-foot roal was laid a day when
lime was used.
"All of the reports showed that lime
added to the concrete mix allows 1t
to be placed easier, and permits
quicker finish," Mr.. Stokes said. 1.-THE
contractors report that there is
lack Of segregation, that there is no
the pavement surface, and that maxi
mum consistency can be maintained
through better control of the water
content" The contractors reported
that the use of lime not only con-
served time with a resultant reduc-
ton in pay roll expenses, but also
gave the road to the public for use
at an earlier date.
According to T. Warren Allen,
chief of the division of control Of the
bureau of public roads, the 'lost-time"
element, Is a problem that Is Of the
gravest Importance in road building.
Appearing before the house commit
tee on roads recently Mr.. Allen de-
clared that the bureau of public roads
was collecting information to show
the results of poor management and
good management In the building of
highways.
'There are a great many more
items in the lost-time category than
would appear possible at first
thought" he said, land during the
time that work is actually performed
there are widely varying results, rang
ing from excellent progress due to
good management, to slow progress
due to poor management"
son the GAINESVILLE road in Wiscon-
sin, as well as on roads in Ohio, the
mix containing lime was so dry that
rolling was unnecessary, reports re
ceived by Mr. Stokes from those
states show.
"The elimination of this operation
increased the efficiency of the job and
enabled the finishers to work close to
the machine, which resulted in large
saving in overtime finishing COSTS" Mr..
Stokes declared.
Reports from all sections of the
country being received at present IN
dictate that more Roadway. will be
made during the coming summer
months in highway construction than
ever before, and that the roads will be
open to the public much sooner as
result of our tests, showing a large
saving of time in the laying Of con-
crete roads," he said
