GOOD DRAINAGE MIS GOOD ROADS
With an average of 27,000 tons of
water falling In the form of rain on
euch mile of public road In the Uni
ted States annually, It Is scarcely to
be marvelled at that the 10 com
mandments of the road builder can
be summed up succinctly In the word
"drainage."
The suylng has truth for a basis,
as good drainage is the primary re
qulHlte for all roads.. Even In sand
roads this holds true, for there "good
drainage" means such as will safely
remove the storm water without ero
sion or gullyjng and still retain the
surface moisture.
To secure good drainage one must
lake Into consideration both the sur
face water and the underground wa
ter. The surface water must be re
moved Quickly and completely with
out subjecting the road to excessive
scour or erosion. For this reason,
the center of the road should be rais
ed and the slope towards the side
ditches should be from one-half to
one Inch to each foot distance, or so
that the water will run freely to the
depth of six to 12 inches with coarHe
Hand or fine gravel. Care should al
ways be taken to secure a free outlet
for the drains and to protect the out
let with a concrete bulkhead or eatch-
basln, which can always be kept
clean and the outlet free.-
The kind of tile to be used depends
on local conditions. Concrete tile If
properly made are equally as good as
clay tile. Which kind to use Is en
tirely a local question of dollars and
cents. If concrete tile can be made
more cheaply tnan clay tue can oe
had, use' concrete; If not, use clay
tile.
One great advantage of the con
crete tile Is thu they can be easily
made by the local users at or near
the place where they are to be placed,
so that the freight charges are dis
pensed with as well as the large
breokage louses due to handling,
Placed In the ground, both are dur
able. If concrete Is used, great care
should be taken to see that a good
grade of Portland cement Is selected
and that the drains are properly con-
side ditches and not flow down the ' structed. The Impression, which
road or remain In puddles on the
roadway.
The side ditches should be of am
ple size to care for the severest storms
with a fall of not less than six Inches
to each 100 feet. Frequent and am
ple cross drains should be construct
ed and every opportunity taken to
get the water away from the road as
quickly as possible.
Any roud along which you see wa
ter standing In the side ditches or
on which puddles of water have col
lected or which has been badly gul-j
lied and eroded by the rains has poor
drainage and Is In need of Immediate

of Brooklyn was stripped of his
clothes by u fierce bulldog early yes-'
terday morning while trying to escape
from a store at Fair Ground, L. I.,
which ho and a companion had Just
broken Into, snys the American. Af
ter tearing off his clothes, the dog
proceeded to chew up the young bur
glar. The latter considers he has sus
tained more Injury than -the store
keeper. Being out of tobacco, Louis and his
companion, whose name, he says, is
George, broke Into the confectionery
store of John Krpf. They secured a
small sum of money and some cigars.
After lighting a couple of the cigars,
they were Just leaving the building
when Watchman Philip Washowskl
and his faithful dog, Bess, hove In
sight. Waskowskl opened fire and
chased "George." At the same time
he called to his dog:
"Bess, take care of that other fel

Bess did. After the watchman had
chased his man a mile and lost him
he returned to find Bess chewing on
Louis' leg.
"For God's sake take away this
beast. It's eating me alive," walled
the burglar.
But Waskowskl took Louis away to
bo locked up.
