STATE MAKES
HIGHWAY TEST
Cameron Concrete AL
most Double Re-
quirements

Cameron county concrete highways
are far above the state specifications,
according to test reports received
Thursday by W. o. Washington,
county engineer.
Cores taken from the concrete on
the San Benito river road for test
purposes showed the crushing
strength exceeded 5000 poundes per
square inch. according to the report
Of the highway department, which
made the test upon request of the
Cameron county engineers. The min
imum vas 5,120 pounds and the max
imum $3.50. The state specifications
are 5000 pounds, though the majori-
On Of state highways test about 1000.
The abnormal strength Of the Cam
eron county highways Is attributed
by the highway department to the
use Of high quality sand, gravel and
cement. All materials are inspected
almost hourly while the work is in
progress. and all of inferior quality
is discarded Another factor is the
utilization Of the cement-water ra-
ito. whereby the exact amount of
water Is applied TO the mixture 10
assure maximum strength.
Results from tests Of Cameron
county highways have aroused much
interest amorg the engineers Of the
state department. and the cement
water ratio. which was adopted by
the CO sron county engineers when
work started on the eounty's $6.000,-
900 program, has been adopted b.
the state e~nrfnenrx on one nf Tia
large highway projects in the cen
trial part Of the state, and is ex-
pected to be adopted generally on
all projects in which the state CO.
operates.

Editor of The CongregatiOnalist


TINE title of this lesson is par
Il ticularly appropriate at pres
ent. We have been observing the
misuse of national privilege. upon a
very large scale, and the supreme
court of the United States has
characterized in unmeasured terms
the fraudulent course Of men in
high places who had a responsible
trust. Such corruption is to be
condemned in unmeaSured terms.
But while we make the condem-
nation it is worth while to remem-
Der that the integrity Of nations
life does not depend altogether up
on it's official leaders and its trust
ed employees. The sources of a ma
tons life are in its individual citi-
zenship. If its citizens have not in
their personal lives high ideals of
honesty and devotion to the COM
monweal, it is useless to expect
these things in the nationl life.
Deserve What They Got
It has been said with some truth
that people deserve the sort of
government that they get; especially
under democratic conditions is this
true, for the people have direct
power of choosing their rulers and
representatives, and if they do not
demand honesty in all the conduct
of civil and national affairs, they are

not likely to get good government
by some strange chance or circum-
stance.
Here in the Parable of the Hus-
bandmen and the Vineyard Jesus
presents a tragic story of evil and
Incompetence. 1t is a story of the
betrayal of trust and of the evil
that resulted where men had DELHI
erately chosen the wrong course.
The unfortunate part of it is that
the parable is so true to at least a
great part of life, both in its social
and in its personal implications.
The husbandman Of the parable
corresponds to God himself who, in
giving to us life. has placed us in a
vineyard rich with possibilities. How
few realize the responsibility Of this
gift and the privilege that God
confers upon us!
We turn to our own selfish ways
and refuse to recognize his call to
high and holy things, and then
when all has gone wrong we are
disposed to blame the laws of God
rather than our own failure, just
as these husbandmen in the parable
took their lords servant and beat
him. When man begins to take a
wrong course he starts upon a path
of evil that becomes more intense
as it goes on.
Surely the deepest tragedy in all
life is the meagerness of the re-
spouse of man to the grace of God
in Jesus Christ. We acclaim Jesus
to be the worlds supreme man of
