This excess time was due to lack OF

The trained road builder OF today,

But this is not all. The rural pave
ment constructed today is designed
with the traffic 1t must carry In mind.
Pavcments laid some years ago were
constructed for horse traffic. With the
quick appearance Of the automobile
the strain on these pavenents In
creased by leaps and bounds, so In
some instances the pioneer road sur
faces were inadequate.
Road builders of this day and age
are now recognizing that pavement
Is no stronger than its base. Conse-
quently a greater percentage OF per-
manent pavements is now being built,
wi h resultant drop in car and road
n ,'ntenance costs.

aggregate, sand and stone. are being
selected with the aid of an engineer
who, for example, prohibits the use OF
easily broken rock. The road builder
now knows that too much mixing

strength of the concrete depends upon
the amount Of water used. within

HOOVER LEADS
IN STRAW VOTE
Two to- One FaVofite in
Magazine Poll.

Continuing to pile up a huge lead
in the straw vote being conducted
by the Literary Digest, Herbert
Hoover, at the end of the third week
of the poll, leads Al Smith by a
vote Of 514,397 to 231,061.
Indianans have given the Repub-
Hcan standard bearer 37O18 and
Smith 1866.
Hoover is leading in all the twen-
ty States represented in the post
card" ballot in the third week of
the poll, with the exception of
Arkansas, which gives Smith a
slight plurality.
In Smiths native New York
Hoover has polled 83,472 votes while
Smith has only 33,245.
An analysis of how the same
voters voted in 1924" shows that of
the 482,223 who signify they voted
the Republican ticket four years
ago 70 per cent now are voting for
Hoover, while 81 per cent have
switched their allegiance to Smith.
On the other hand almost 40 per
cent of the voters who supported
the Democratic ticket in 1924 have
left the Democratic fold and are
voting for Hoover.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5-Another in
crease in brokers loans, another adj
vance in some important stocks,
some more bearish opinions from
men who occupy high places and
the people are paying no attention
to anything. Can anyone explain
1t? What is the real force back of
this unprecedented market activity?
Each man explains it in his own
way and each one can present a
very logical argument, bullish or
bearish as the case may be. How
ever, we know from all human ex-
perience that no matter what the
basis may be these speculative
waves finally exhaust themselves
and as this one has been going on
for very long time, it seems to me
that everyone should watch his step
very closely and as each day passes
commitments should be smaller.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Another

in over night on the increase of
$45 ,270,000 to new high record of
$4,569 $4,000 in weekly Federal re-

expansion was expected in many
quarters and the first furry was
only temporary.
Steel opened 1900 shares at 1902
and 1909, up Is and IL The price
held around the lower level in early
trading. General Motors opened I'M

improved fractionally. Radio spurt-

Further encouragement was given
bull traders by the belief large sums
of gold have been engaged in Eng
land for shipment to New York on
the Mauretania, leaving Southamp-
ton Saturday.
Several large sales were made on
the opening. Keith-Albee opened
10000 shares at 80 and later the
issue rose to 33%, Universal Pipes
first sale involved 10000 shares at

Good demand was noted for such
