~? I * ? ' f 1 \j^\ ; -A, STATE HIGHWAYS TO RUN 3,000 MILES Chairman of Commission Outlines Plans of Road Development BUILDING ROADS FEDERAL AID IN County Scats to be Linked Up?Good Start Is * Made. Columbia.?After the meeting of the Stale highway commission in Columbia. Major R. G. Thomas, of Charleston, chairman of the commission, told of the policy adopted y the commission in constructing sections of the State highway system with federal aid. Major Thomas said that the publ:c wr.s familiar with the State system of roads which the highway commission had agreed upon, and knew thai this State highway commission had as its purpose the linking all the county seats in South Carolina, putting a good State road before the doors of as many citize ns of the State as possible, and providing ad <]iiatc outlets to cehtors of travel in other States. The State highway system, as approved by the commission, comprises approximately 3,000 miles of road. Of this total 458.57 r,'d^ki'' or 15.28 per cent, had been C(flT<ructed or were under construction with federal aid, or were approved by this commission for construction with federal aid up to Jun" 5, l0i9. Out of the fo?".y- !>: counties i.i South Carolina, forty-two counties had availed themselves by ti s dat ' of all or parts of the ir allotments of fcdoral aid for const ructii e links in the State highway system. With reference to tlie policy adopt* e<l by the State highway commission, Major Thomas said: "In building the State highway system with federal aid the State highway commission has determined upon the following policy, wtf vh has been applied to sections , of loads now building or to be built * in the system: "The commission will see. that. tho roads in the State highway system | have the best possible location with reference to their terminal points, sufficient width (not less than .10 ] feet) to carry present and prospective traffic, the lowest possible grade ' - (in no case more than 5 per cent) and that the drainage structures are built for permanence.

Major Thomas pointed out the close analogy between a railroad and a highway. He said that in this State there are railroads located three-quarters of a century ago, the roadbe. Is of which occupied the : aire locations determined by the fiist engineers who worked on them. These engineers made the grades low &nri the locations the best obtainable, although they did not provide many permanent drainage stiuctuivs. When the railroads were first laid fiimsy cross tics and light weight rails, some of them of timber topped by iron strips, were put on the roadbeds. With the increase of traffic and heavier trains the flimsy cross tirs and light weight rails were replaced from time to time unt'l row j"i all standard railroads there are 0<)-pound rails and heavy cross ties I bulla;.tod by crushed stone. j1 'The surface of a Slate highway |< I built of some local material, can be j ! anpared point foi' point with the j i small cross ties and light weight jrails laid on railroad roadbeds three-J quarters of a c: ntury ago," ccnti: ued ! Major Thomas. "The highway sur-! free of local material ran be removed ; 1 when it wears out, and d' money is J " mailable a hard surface made of im- r ported mat.' rial can be laid, which i will then bring the highway up I" j l!i" best standards. No other group , I of highway enthusiasts is more anx- ' ious than the State highway com- i mission to see every road in the 1 State hard surfaced, but such sur-j* facing; is a matter of money, while \ the State's need for roads which will , he dry in wet weather and afford ! means for hauling at low co:-t be- i tween sections of the State now isolated in bad weather, is a press- ' ing and prest nt one which we ca noi relegate to some indefinite f. - ' til re d? to when South Carol it a, or the counties of which the State is v composed, have money enough to put hard surfaces on all their roads. P "The roads in the Stale highway o system being built under the super- v vision of the Slate highway com- b mission with federal aid will com- a pare favorably as to permanence of f location* width, grade and drainage v structures with a standard stretch S of railroad. The commission docs tl not consider that money spent on o surfaces of local materials for sec- a tiens of these roads is wasted, al- b though it would afford great pleasure to the commission to have all u these roads hard surfaced now.

The metal plane was made of aluminum, body, wing struts and all. The most recent development included metal wings, except the edges, which have to be flexible for guiding the plane. The metal plane was almost bullet proof, except direct hits, and came as near being an armored plane as any one could develop. The aluminum plane was developed by engineers connected with the Zeppelin works. In the Zeppelin factory at Staalen are almost a hundred of these planes nearly finished, most of them without wings. They I are bright and shiny aluminum, and ore the most (loathly looking machines imaginable. The aluminum plane was never used on the front, though it had been tested very carefully in the rear and at the factory, and was found entirely satisfactory. It was as fast ar.d almost as light as the planes I Ul WDOII. "The; armistice came along1 ami [in vented us from using the aluminum plane," said the Zeppelin man- ' ager. "It was the same with our 1 pant bombers. Another year and we'd have had enough of both to have complete supremacy. Then ; the Entente would have come along with something better. That's the 1 way it went, nip and tuck?and the ( infantry settled the war after all." SUCCESSFUL IX RAISING BEANS i Wilbur Barrett, of Whatcom Coun- ' ty.
