Reagan Favored
John Reagan Is O heavy favorite

is little possibility OF an upset.
Should they slip. however. Port
Arthur Is close behind. The near

Port Arthur: Marshall will meet
Denton; Waco will meet Central;
and Breckenridge win meet Amar-

parts of crushed stone or gravel.
Engineers believe that, Il 1t ID pos
sible to secure az good or better
concrete when the proportion sof
broken stone or gravel is increased
to four and one-half parts, a saving
of about 81 900 a mile in the cost
of concrete roads will be effected.
When it is borne in mind that 10000
miles or more of this type Of high
way il laid down in one year in
this country, it may be seen at
once that the item Of saving, roughly
$40, 000, 900, is most impressive.
Material Varied
The test road 10 being built just
as any ordinary concrete road Is
constructed, which explains the lay
ing down of so long a stretch. The
bureaus engineers are endeavoring
emphatically to depart from So
called ideal conditions so as to make
their conclusions highly practical.
They might obtain plausible results
in the. laboratory, by hardening
small Siabs Of concretei and submit.
ting them to tests. but there would
be absent the natural factors which
enter into road building such as the
weatherinR and the contour OF the
soil which would qualify the results
to no small degree, in their opinion.
To make the test variable in it's
results, the material has been varied
in each slab. A different kind or
amount of coarse aggregate and a
different quantity OF water has gone
into each. The mixing, placing
and finishing of this experimental
stretch OF highway have been done
in accordance with the best modern
paving practice and with standard
road building equipment.
The results that might be OBJ
taiIled under more ideal conditions
win not be overlooked, however.
While testsfare being made on the

ments will be made on beams and
cylinders cast at the same time 80
as to show the relationship between
the strength of nodded specimens
and that of the pavement slabs
The experimentation with the
coarse aggregate, engineers point
out, is a factor in strength and not
in wear, which accounts for their
focusing of attention on the former
objective. Determination of wear,
they state, il somewhat indefinite
in its results. Different roads wear

Further proof that the question
Is an eminently practical one is to
be had in the experiment under.
taken by the United States Bureau
Of Public Roads to find the answer.
When a Government agency which
has at its command the resources
which the bureau has available
undertakes a task, no one stops to
question further its seriousness Of
purpose
Then comes the question Of
method. Should the road be built

highway, with hundreds of passen-
ger cars and scores Of heavy trucks
numbering over 1t every day for a
long period? Or should it be con-
structed in a sequestion spot with
no travel over it at all?
Strange as it may seem, the blu.
reau chose the latter method. Its
engineers pointed out that strength

ties. was their viewpoint.
Make Virginia Test
And so they set about building
half-mile Of highway across the
Potomac River from Washington
for the definite purpose of finding
out how the materials might be
varied in such a way that strength
could be increased. The road was
built Of slabs nine feet square and
seven inches in thickness.
Then the test was to be followed
by the unusual spectacle of per-
fectly good highway being laid
down and torn up before even q
single car had a chance to travel
over 1t. 1t was divided into sepa-
rate slabs so that the material go.

the whole stretch be sawed into
sections that could be put into

What the bureaus engineers are
to determine is, technically speaking,
the possibility of increasing the

expected factors. Then, they de-
clare, 1t would require an enormous
volume of traffic to supply desira-
BILE results from a wear test.
Engineers call attention to the
fact that highways wear differently,
and break down irregularly. It Is
difficult to anticipate wear, they
say, and after all the well con-
structed road Is the one that lasts.
Big Advances Made
Highways have advanced consid-
erably in durability during the last
few years. according to road en-.
gineers. Methods Of construction
have been improved and the result
has been q type of read that does
not crack as the earlier highways
did. This has been the result Of
improvement all along the lire. The
mixing Of materials and methods Of
putting down the road have brought
about this advance.
There was a time when a hard
surface highway was prone to
crack. Huge assures showed within
a short time after laying it. This
was overcome largely by placing
Joints in the road, so that there
would be some allowance for ex.
pansion. These joints have been
important factors In the achieve
ment Of greater durability
With the States engaged In huge
highway construction programs. the
question OF building durable roads
is one of unquestioned Importance

The question has been largely q

is how better roads can be built.
