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. After giving 1
it the best location, sufficient width, '

. urlYicoh or surfaced with some local
material, a -; this is a factor which i
must be controlled by the amount of
mosey rvailbb* for use on any particular
stretch of road."
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. On n

jGERMANS EVER USED j
I THEIR METAL PLANES
i
The Germans never had a chance
to use their latest aero creation on
tlu front against the Entente airman?the
entirely metal plane, hire
from the tanks burning the light inflammable
material of which planes
arc usually made caused the deaths
of a large percentage of aviators.
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."
