WILL AID BUILDING OF
Sometime within the next few
months a new. road 2 miles long is
to bo broken up in what is probably
the most extensive study of road serv
ice ever undertaken in the United
Staes. The road is located in Illinois,
about 12 miles southwest of Spring
field, and parallels the Wabash Rail
road In the test road there are no
curves. The grades vary from zero to
four-tenths of 1 per cent with an aver
age grade of one-teritth. of 1 r er cent,
the maximum and minimum grades ex
tending over very short distances. The
subgrade soil i3 uniformly a brown si't
loan i except for two small stretches
where it more nearly approaches gum
bo. There are seven general types of pav
jng in the road, the idea being to have
represented the ch!ef materials used
in road-making so that engineers may
study the effect of known and meas
ured traffic of varying degree upon
each kind of roaH. The seven types
are: ,
Portland cement concrete.
Three and four-inch lug brick con
structed monolithic and with a Port
land cement concrete base.
Three and four-inch lug briek con
structed semimonolithie and with a
Portland cement concrete base.
Three and four-inch bituminous fill
ed 'ug and lugless brick on Portland
cement base.
, Three and four-inch bituminous fill
ed lug and lugless brick on macadam
base
Asphaltic concrete with and with
out binder course on Portland cement
concrete base.
Asphaltic concrete with and without
binder course on macadam base
Built by Federal Government
The road, known as the Pates exper
imental road, was constructed hy the
division of highways, Illinois Depart
ment of Public Works and Buildings,
in cooperation with the Bureau of Pub
lic Roads, United States Department of
Agrciulture. Aotual wcrk wa bosun
on tbe road in June, 1920. and it was
finir-hed sometime ago Since its com
pletion the State and Federal Govern
ment engineers by numerous daily ob
servation, have been meaeuriug the ef
fect of heat, cold, moisture and otlier
elen ents upon its surface and on the
s-ubgrade. These observations nave
been taken on 63 sections and much in
formation has be.?n obtained which
will be valuable in building roads in
the future
Thus thevroad has se3foned.'At the
proper time, now approaching tihe first
motor vehicle will be turned upon it.
Tt t planned tc subject the highway
to a rigidly-controlled truck traffic.
The trucks are to be weighed aod tbe
weights will be gradually increased
from a light load to one 50 per cent
B-reater than that allowed bj- lilinois
law. The number and weight of loids
required to produce failure in tt-e var
ious sections will index the beha ior of
the various types of pavements when
subjected to different kinds of traffic.
This informal ion is of the .inmost
value. Knowing the conditions of trat
fic which are to be met, it will afford
a means by which a proper pavlug can
be selected to meet those conuition
It m.'iy lead to the saving of millions
of dollars each year by preventing ihe
construction of pavements that are
found to be incapable of resisting mod
em traffic.
Pavement Series Used
Why some types of pavement fail
and others hold up will be largely de
termined by the test. The series of
.est sections for :ich tspe or design
covets all reasonable variations in
strength that might be expected to
give any degree of satisfaction un.ler
heaw traffic. Each series begins with
a section roughly estimated to be
equivalent in strength to 4 inches of
concrete, and increases to the approx
imate equivalent of 9 inches of ccn-

BURGLARS DON'T
STEAL CHECKS
A merchant was telling us the other day
about an experience he had which shows the
value of the checking system.
Burglars entered his store one night and
blew open his safe. It contained about $150,
but most of this was in checks less than $50
of cash. ,
They took every cent of the money but
left all the checks exactly as they found them
They knew those checks would be worth
less to them for if they tried to cash them they
would be caught and easily proven guilty of the
theft.
Checks and a checking account are a pro
tection to any one who handles any money at
all. Let us tell you more about it. Come in.
THE BANK OF OREGON CITY
OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY.
TFEDERAL RSERYT
P
ARMS PARLEY WILL
BRING NEW CONCEPT
TO WORLD, FORECAST
Result of Conference Will
Be Lasting, Believes
Senator J. D. Lee
ive legislation during his long serv
ice in the state's government.
The senator entertains great! hopes
for the outcome of the disarmament
conference, favors the 1S25 exposition,
believes in the future of Oregon, his
native state, and owns property in
Clackamas county
From a life-time's experience in gov
ernmentai affairs Senator J. D. Lee
of Portland, looks upon the disarma
ment conference as a turning point
from the old concept of things a
change in the mode of both peace and
war.
Senator Lee, new a. representative
at Salem from Multnomah county, was
in Oregon City Tuesday. Wbil here
he was a guest at the luncheon of the
Live Wires of the Commercial Club.
Mr. Lee was formerly in -the legisla
ture from Polk county, having served
in both houses over a period of more
than 20 years of continuous activity.
New Concept Forecasted
"I hardly believe." says th senator,
that it is possible to take all of the
conflict out of the human race. Men
will forever disagree. But the consid
eration of disarmament, or limitation
of arms, will bring about an entirely
different concept of international re
lationships. The last war under tho
present system of battle has been
fought. There may be more wars, but
the method will be vastly more deadiy
ard wider in scope. With the new
scientific developments it will be pos
sible to wipe out countries as easily
as the engines of destruction of the
present day can annihilate a platoon.
When the armament conference takes
into consideration, as I believe it will,
all of the details of coming develop- j
ments, the menace of the progress ot
this riestructlveness to the Caucauaiau
race and to the world will be recog
nized. There can be but one result
and that is the reduction in some de
gree, of the proportionate increase of
the materials of war.
Paradox !s Seen '
With increased scientific develop
ment. I believe the paradoxical condi
tion of which Francis Wayland 'spoke
is at hand, where 'one body of men
however small will be able to balance
Doctor Now Raises

Dope is Heavy
According toall dope Wills should
be able to stow Martin away as he is
now in his prime and is a great fight
ter. He has met and defeated all the
big heavies with the exception of
Champion Jack Dempsey and a few
lesser lights and is without doubt the
second best man in the ring today.
On tho other hand Denver Ed has a
gooc chance He is hittgng harder
now than, when he was at his best
and his boxing has lost nothing by his
long lay-off. In his day Martin was
a wonder at foot-work and while he '
is not as fast) now he is exceptionally
ipeedy for a big man. If Martin lands,
on Wills it is a sure thing that the
Eastern man will drop.

TWO DECREES GRANTED
Two divorces were granted by Cir
cuit Judge J. U Campbell Tuesday,
in the following cases: Leila versus
A. K. Cross and J. R. versus Hel?na
Hanrilton
for future generations. Once freed
from taxation due to war maintenance,
the world, he believes, will never re
turn to the old program Thus rar
tions willfind a new era in peaceful
activity. He believes that this marks
in governmental policy the same new
c'evelorment t-s hag permeated theJ
field of war through scientific re
iearch. Progress Forecasted
The effect of the ideas developing
from the conference and kindred move
ments. Senator Lee believes can be
forecasted from an assessment of hu
man psychology. Social reactions he
points out are based upon two prim
ary emotions, hope and fear. The lat
ter can never be wholly done away
with, but as the" nations base their
actions upon a mutuality of interest,
concern for general welfare, and bet
ter understanding, conflicts will pro
portionately diminish. This will re
sult from the basing of their activities
more upou ar.rulsuc motives which
the psycholigist puts in the "hope" i
classification, and lees on the basis of
fear of punishment.
iong .In Service
Senator Lee began his political car
eer in 1S78 when he was elected to the
bouse from Polk county, being the on

county anT at' present is one of the re
presentatives from that district. He

hand some time ago and had been
handicapped in securing training quar
