Adventure Club =,

Every once in a while we
receive requests for duplicate
cards.
Some of the card-losers say
their little brother or sister
tore theirs up. Others, that
they had lost their purse and
the card was in it. The ma
jority frankly admit that thSy
lost the card.
But our old club member,
Bertram Schneider, 3134 Fourth
st. N. W., pulled a new one
on us.
He said a snake ate his card.
We were so overcome that
we gave him q duplicate card
without one question. Probably
that would be all we would
have ever known about it if
his buddy, Harvey Marcus,
hadn't been with him.
Harvey assured us that a
snake had eaten Bertram's
card. He saw it do 1t.
It seems Bertram has a mum.

them a baby python. There

pets. But they do like mem

Concrete Pavement Saves
Motorists Twice Its
Annual Cost.
By Times Special

By Times Special
DIES MONIES. Aug. II. - How
good roads pay for themselves in
lower car operating costs is shown
in a study of a concrete road be-
tween this city and AmeS. Every
year the concrete pavemels., which
replaced gravel surface, saves mo-
florists more than twice its annual
cost.
This is shown in an article by r.
w. Crum. director, highway re-
search board. division of the ma
tional research council, in recent
issue of Engineering News-Record.
Total annual saving to motorists
who drive on this 263 miles of con-
crete pavement in place of the for
mer gravel surface, over which 700,-
900 vehicles travel yearly. amounts
to S164,000, according to Crum. Cost
of concrete. on a yearly basis, is
$73,372. This is only s10,350 more
than the cost of gravel, or less than
$500 per mile.
Actual saving to motorists of
S164,000 resulting from replacing
the gravel with concrete therefore
is fifteen times the additional cost
Of the concrete. Crum's figures re-
veal. In addition motorists have
riding comfort and safety at all
times.
Costs computed include interest
on the investment. replacement al
lowance, maintenance and admins
tration.
This road is typical Of thousands
of miles of concrete roads in state
highway systems. While there are
1850 miles of concrete now COM
pleted on state systems, there re-
main 264,231 miles of heavily used
roads to be paved.

LONDON. Aug. IA CONNER
cial process for plating zinc on metals
that may make zinc plate cheaper
than tinplate has been developed by
Sherard Cowper Coles. inventor OF
the sherardizing process for making
iron and steel rdStleSs.
The product has a greyish. smooth
appearance as contrasted to the
shiny brightness of the familiar tin
can. 1t is claimed that it will not
rust or corrode. even at a roughly
cut edge. This property would
make il extremely valuable for mo-
tor car tenders. as the zinc plate
would take the place Of the printing
coat of enamel.
Standard size sheets of steel can
be plated by sending them through
electrolytic baths on rollers. Bars of
zinc metal dip into the bath and
form the positive pole of the cleo
trio circuit.
With this mass production scheme
in operation. it is claimed that the
cost of production is less than for
tinplate, mainly because zinc In

Property Owners Awaken

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA ma
tional trend toward painting up,
stimulated to an extent by reno
wing campaigns and by a desire
on the part of property owners to
preserve the value of their hold
ings during times of economic
stress, is reflected in federal sta
tistics on the paint, varnish AND
lacquer products industry.
These figures, released by the
department of commerce at Wash
ington. reveal that the volume OF
paint sales, which, during 1892,
dropped to the lowest level in years,
now definitely is on the upgrade,
with May reports surprising those of
the corresponding month of the pre-
vious year for the first time since
1929.
The May figures on the sales of
paint, varnish and lacquer products,
based on data reported to the bureau
of the census, department of COM
merce, By 588 identical manufac-
turers, and just compiled, show the
aggregate sales of these establish
ments total s27,574,056, the high
est total for any month since June,
1881.
Steady Gain Shown
The month-by-month statistics
for the first five months of 1888 re-
fleet the steady increase in the use
of paint products, indicating very
definitely the extent to which prop
erty owners are turning their atten-
ton to saving the surface"
The figures show that sales dur
