One would hardly think that a wo man could ever outwear a mnn when It comes to heavy road work, but such Is neverthelosK the case In the Phil ippines. In the construction of the Paoay-Currimao road It is recalled that at one time there were approximately 500 women and girls employed dally, notes the Engineering News. These feminine workers, receiving from 20 to 25 or 35 centnvo per day. according to their strength and ability, are most efficient when materinls for subgrade. surfacing or gravel and sand for con crete are to be carried a short dis tance. They tie tip their skirts or "pandllng" to be less hampered as they work and wield shovels, load, carry and empty their baskets with, a teal that outclasses the men. In the construction of subgrade, raoay-Currimao road. It was required to haul material about oue-balf a kilo meter at one point This was accom plished with women workers. Men loaded the baskets at the borrow pits. They are carried on the heal As may be imagined, there is con siderable talking done a the work pro gresses, especially in the afternoon, when the women begin to tire. On conerete work women are used to ad vantage carrying sand, gravel and wa ter. They are not strong enough to mix concrete for any length of time, so men are employed for that purpose. The 8ecret of England's Fine Road. "What must impress every visitor to England," said a man who had Just re turned from that country recently, "is their wonderful country roads and city streets. Although I did considerable touring. 1 did not find a siugle country road nearly as rough as our own city boulevards, and the pavements of Lon don are Just as fine, although the traf fic is very much heavier than in any of our cities. It does not appear that the English build much better street paveajeuts and roads thau we do. The secret seems to be In the fact that they take care of them. Most of tho streets in London are paved with creosoted block, and as soon as a small hole or depression appears anywhere there is a man on the Job repairing it. They follow up these slight Imperfections Immediately with small repair gangs and outfits. A little fence Is put around the bad spot, and with their tiny kits of tools and materials the men quick ly replace the blocks with fresh ones or relay them with new foundations. In a short time there Is no indication of any break In the absolute smooth ness of the pavement, and only the fresh tar reveals the fact that the pavement has been repaired. In this way there Is no chance for a pavement or a country road to get Into such a condition that It finally has to be re luld. and this method also save a great deal of money."
