GOOD
CONCRETE FOR GOOD ROADS
Chicago City Officials Impressed With
Construction of Pavements in
Michigan Township.
In Its publication. Chicago Com
merce, the Chicago Association of
Commerce thus presents details of an
Inspection of concrete pavements and
roads in Michigan:
"A party of 30 Chicago aldermen,
the president, chief engineer and
members of the board of local Im
provements And the engineer of the
committee on downtown streets of the
association of commerce inspected the
concrete roads and pavements in
Wayne county. Michigan. The trip
was given In the effort to make city
officials and others interested in good
paving construction realize the ever
lncreating Importance of concrete.
"Arriving In Ann Arbor the party
made a trip of inspection in autos
over the concrete pavements of that
city, accompanied by the city engineer,
E. W. Groves. The concrete pave
ments in Ann Arbor are laid six
Inches tn thickness in two courses,
one a 4 4-inch base course of gravel
concrete upon which Is laid a 1H-

ture of cement and coarse Fand. Over
this wearing surface Is spread a thin
coa'Jng of refined pitch, which Is
dusted over with sand ExDansion
joints filled with pitch are provided
very 23 feet. This wearing surface
baa much the tame appearance as an
aephalt pavement. Mr. Groves states
that with the traSc in Ann Arbor,
which is light, the protective coating
of pitch will last three years. The
pavement cost about $1 per square.
It Is claimed that the low first cost,

ease of repair shoulj recommend this
pavement for light residence Btreets.
"At Wayne, Mich., with Edward X.
Hines, road commissioner of Wayne
county, an Inspection was begun of
the county's 40 miles of concrete
roads. These reads vary In width from
12 to 18 feet. They are built of about
4 Inches of a rich concrete mixture
to Vt to 3 applied In one course.
Expansion Joints are provided every
25 feet. To prevent the wear which
usually takes place at the expansion
Joint In concrete pavements a plate of
soft steel flush with the surface Is pro
vided in the newer roads. Xo surface
covering Is used. It being the belief of
the road commissioners that for coun
try roads the concrete wearing sur
face will prove so durable as not to
Justify any Increase In the first cost
The roads built In the last four years
have railed in cost from 11.28 to $1.71
per square yard. Mr. Mines states that
practically nothing" bas been spent
upon any of these roads for main
tenance. In appearance the roads are
remarkable for their cleanliness, al
though they are never cleaned except
by the falling rain.
"A defective bridge which made
eeoessary a detour of several miles
over unimproved clay roads upon
which a bard rain had Just fallen, to
gether with an exciting slide down a
"bill covered with soft clay In autos,
erred to give a striking example of
the condition of Wayne county roads
before improvement and the value of
auch Improvements.
"The general opinion seemed to be
that for the conditions existing in
Wayne county the road commissioners
had made no mistake in adopting con
crete as their standard of construc
tion for country roads. Chicago's city
officials agreed that the concrete road
or pavement, properly constructed and
used under right conditions, has Its
place and expressed th-ir willingness
to give concrete a trial In Chicago."
Cost of Transportation.
There are 2.000,000 miles of unim
proved roads In this country, and It
costs an averaze of about two cents
per bushel more to haul wheat nine
miles to a station than it does to ship
the same bushel from N York to
Idverpool, 3.200 miles away.

that crude sugar beet sirup sprinkled

BAD ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
Much Money Expended in Next Ten
Years for Needed Improvement
of Public Thoroughfares.
(By HOWARD H. GROSS.)
It la remarkable that so few people
In any community are willing to profit
by the experiencea of other people tn
other localities where the problem of
good roads has been taken up and
solved. The dread of taxes is the bug
bear; the reason this Is so probably
lies In the fact that we usually set
so littla benefit for wht wo pay out;
so far as road tax. s go It Is safe to
say that fully onj-half is wasted because-
of lack of skill, doing perhaps
the wrong thing, or doing the right
thing in the wrong way. If we had
the county as a rxid unit Instead of
the township, we could afford to hire
a first class man to give his whole
time to road supervision, and by thla
means we could get approximately at
least a dollar of benefit fo rthe dol
lar expended. By this plan. Illinois
alone would save at least $s,000 a
day for every day In the year. A pro
rata saving could be made In the ma
jority of the other states.
It 1 well wlthia the truth to say
that the money wasted In road admin
istration would pay the Interest and
provide a sinking f'ind upon a bond Is
sue large enough to permanently im
prove all the main highways In the
land.
Good roads cost money, surely they
do, but bad roads cost more. Good
roads greatly Increase farm values.
and bad roads depreciate thera. Wher
ever any community has had the
experience of having had both
kinds, they always and unanimous
ly go in for good roads. About
the lamest objection to good roads
the writer has ever heard was made
by a round-headed farmer who Is the
standing Joke of his community. He
said: "Good roads w ill make my farm
worth more, sure It will, but If It Is
worth more they will tax me more
for It." One of the bystanders said:
"Dill, a'pose you trade your farm for
the Smith place. It's as good as yours,
but the taxes won't be half so much."
Bill took another think, and said he
allowed he would keep the farm he
had.
Good roads are a relative term.
When any community Is used to very
bad roads, they appreciate a road that
is not quite so bad, but far from be
ing a good one. Really, a good road
should be one that Is hard and smooth
every day In the year. A road that
is often good, but many tlm?s bad is
likj a balky horse, not to be depend
ed upon. The writer was told of a
woman driving a span of mules over
one of the worst roads in Arkansas;
the mud was a foot deep, and both
she and the mules were plastered with
it. She finally came to a half-mile
of corduroy road through the bot
toms. As she bumped along over the
logs that composed It, she remarked:
'I do enjoy a good road, I don't see
why they don't build more on 'em.
The indications are that more money
will be expended for good roada In the
next ten years than has been spent In
the last twenty-five years. Ohio la
soon to rote on a constitutional
amendment to authorize an issue of
$50,000,000 of bonds to build a system
of state roads reaching every coun
ty. The federal government Is con
sidering the plan of aiding In the con
struction. The matter will be given a
hearing before the house committee
within the next few days. The Indica
tions are that something will be done
along thla line. Sentiment is running
strong In that direction.
Good Roads in New York.
Xew Jersey was the pioneer In the
good road movement, but Xew ork
bas 80,000 miles of road with a a ter
mileage of Improved highways' ,n
all the other eastern states put to
gether. Xew York will this year
spend $21,000,000 on roads.
Progress of Community.
According as your read machinery
la being worn out or being rusted out
your community is advancing or re
treating In the battle against poverty.
Engineer Is Essential.
There Is no more sense In trying to
build a good road without a highway
engineer than there Is In going Into
a lawsuit without a lawyer.
What Opposition Does.
The farmer who opposes good roads
doesn't exactly kill the goose that lays
the golden eg?s he merely prevents
the gosling from being batched.

Twelve typea of road construction

7c AUTHOR OF THE GAME" AND THE CAtiViCi
CHAPTER I.
The roaring rtwrts of the motor
fell Into abrupt silence, aa the driver
brought his car to a halt
"You signaled T" he called across the
grind of set brakes.
In the blending glare of the search
lights from the two machines, the
gray one arriving and the limousine
drawn to the roadside, the young girl
stood, her hand atill extended In the
gesture which had stopped the man
who now leaned across his wheel.
"Oh, please," she appealed again.
On either side stretched away the
Long Island meadows, dark, sound
less, apparently uninhabited. Only
thla spot of light broke the monotony
of dreariness. A keen. iMU, October
wind sighed past, stirring the girl's
delicate gown as Ita folds lay un
heeded tn the dust, fluttering her fur
lined cloak and shaking two or three
childish curls from the bondage of
her velvet hood. The driver swung
himself down and came toward her
with the unhafctlng awiftness of one
trained to the unexpected.
"I beg pardon can I be of some
useT" he asked.
"We are lost," she confessed hur
riedly. "If you could set us right. I
should be grateful. I we must get
heme soon. I have been a guest at a
house somew here here, and started to
return to Xew York this afternoon.
The chauffeur does not know Long
Island; we cannot seem to find any
place. And now we have lost a tire.
I waa afraid"
She broke off abruptly, as ber com
panion descended from the limousine.
"We only want to know the way;
we're all right." he explained. "This
Is my cousin; I came out after her,
you see. Don't get so worried. Em
ily well go straight on as soon aa
Anderson changes the tire."
He huddled his words slightly and
spoke too rapidly, the round, good
humored face he turned to the white
light was too flushed; otherwise there
waa nothing unusual In his appear
ance. And his caste was evident and
unquestionable In spite of any cir
cumstance. There waa no anger In
girl's dark eyes aa she gazed '

straight before her, only pity and help
less distress.
"I can tell your chauffeur the road,"
the driver of the gray car quietly aald.
"Hare you far to go?"
"To the St. Royal," ahe answered,
looking at him. "My uncle is there.
Ia that far?"
"No; you can reach there by ten
o'clock. I will speak to your chauf
feur." "Do, like a good fellow," the other
man Interposed. "Awfully obliged.
You're not angry, Emily," be added,
lowering hla voice, and moving near
er her. "Since we're engaged, why
should you get frightened simply be
cause I proposed we get married to
night Instead of watting for a big
wedding? I thought It was a good
Idea, you know. It Isn't my fault An
derson got lost Instead of getting us
home for dinner. Is It?"
"Hush, Dick," she rebuked, hot col
or sweeping her face. "You, you are
not well. And we are not engaged;
you forget. Just because people want
us to be " Too proud to let ber
steadiness quiver, she broke the sen
tence. If the driver had heard, and It was
scarcely possible that he had not, he
made no sign. By the acetylene light
he produced an envelope and pencil,
and proceeded to sketch a map show
ing the route to the limousine's chauf
feur. "Understand It?" he queried, con
cluding. He bad a certain decision of
manner, not In the least arrogant, but
the result of a serene selfsorety
that somehow accorded with hla lithe,
trained grace of movement. A Judge
of men would hare read him an ath
lete, perhaps In an unusual line.
"Yes, air," the chauffeur - replied.
"I'll get Miss Ffrench home In no
time after I get the tire on."

lift of the hearer's eyebrows.
"How long does It take you to
change a tlref"
"About hair an hour; It's night, of
course."
An odd, choking gurKto sounded from
the gray machine, where a dark figure
had aat until now lu quiesceut mute
ness. "Half an hour!" echoed the gray
machine's driver, and faced toward
the chuckle. "Rupert, It Isn't In your
contract, but do you want to come
over and change this tiro?"
"I'll do tt for you. Parllng." ws the
sweet response; the small figure
rolled over the tdge of the car with a
cat-like celerity. "Where are your
tools, you chauffeur? Quick!"
The bewildered chauffeur mechan
ically reached for a box on the run
ning board, as the young assistant
cauie up, grinning ail over his malign
dark face.
"Oh. quicker! What's the matter,
rheumatism? They wouldn't have you
In a training rnuip for motor trucks
on Sunday. Hustle, pleaso."
There never had been anything
done to that sedate llmoualtie quite as
this was done. Even the preoccupied
girl looked on In fascination at a mo
tility of unwasted movement suggest
ing a conjuring feat.
"Hy George!" exelatmtd her escort
"A splendid man you've got there!
Really, a splendid chauffeur, you
know."
The driver smiled with a glenm of
Irony, but disregarded the comment.
"Would you like to get Into your
car?" be asked the girl. 'You will be
able to start very soou."
"I see that," she acknowledged
gratefully. 'Thank you; I would
rather wait here."
"Is your chauffeur trustworthy?"
"Oh, yes; he has been In my uncle's
employ for three years. Hut he was
never before, out here. In this place."
There was a rnie. tilled by the
soft monotone of Inmilts drifting from
the side of the limousine, for Rupert
talked while he worked and his fellow-worker
did not pleas him.
"Wrench, baby hippo! Oh, look be

do." He rose, drew out his watch and
glanced at It. "Five minutes; I'll
have to beat that day after tomorrow."
The driver looked over at him and
tbelr eyes laughed together. Xow, for
the first time the girl noticed that
across the shoulders of both men's
Jerseys ran In silver letters the name
of a famoua foreign automobile.
"I am very grateful. Indeed," ahe
aald bravely and graciously. "I wish
I could say more, or say It better. The
Journey will be short, now."
I!ut all her dignity could not check
the frightened shrinking of ber glance,
first toward the Interior of the limou
sine and then toward the man who
was to enter there with her. And the
driver of the gray machine saw It.
"We hnve done very little," he re
turned. "May I put you In your car?"
The chauffeur was gathering his
tools, speechlessly outraged, and mak
ing ready to start. Heated among the
rugs and cushions, under the light of
the luxurious car, the girl deliberately
drew off her glove and held out her
small uncovered hand to the driver of
the gray machine.
"Thank you," she said again, meet
ing bis ryes with her own, whose
darkness contrasted oddly with the
blonde curls clustered under her hood.
"You are not afraid to drive Into
the city alone?" he asked.
"Alone! Why. my cousin"
"Your cousin Is going to Hay with
me."
She flung back her bead; amate
ment, question, relief struggled over
ber sensitive face, and finally melted

"So you won't fall out," soothed the
grinning Rupert. "You ain't well, you

The car leaped forward, gathering
speed to an extent that was a revela

keen air, the glilily ruth through the
dark, were a sobering Ionic. After a
while he rpoke to the man beside b!m,
nrrvouxly embarrassed by a situation
he was beginning to appreciate.
