Before Laying Surfacing Materials
Roads Ought to Be Perfectly Dry,
Bays Connectiout Highway Commit-
sioner—Resist Autos’ Bad Effects.
The racking of brains to find a road
surfacing which will withstand the
wear and tear of automobile traffic
that has been going on among road-
makers in the United States and Eu
rope of late is resulting in a return to
coal tar, which thirty years ago was
thought to be worthless for any pur
pose and today furnishes mankind so
many different products and byprod
ucts, some of them far removed from
the building of stone roads. Highway
Commissioner Macdonald of Connecti
cut, ever among the leaders in these
matters, has worked out a specifica
tion which has already been adopted
by state highway commissioners who
have beard of it and have obtained a
copy, says a Hartford (Conn.) dispatch.
It calls for a combination of coal tar
and pitch, and folly as much of the
success with which the road laid by
means of it resists the action of auto
tires is due to the manner in which It
is put down as to the medium which
hinds the road surface into a solid,
perfectly cohesive waterproof whole.
Something over a year ago Commis
sioner Macdonald chose a very hot day
and laid his specification on most of
the roads in Bushneil park, about the
Connecticut 4tate capitol in Hartford,
and the present condition of these
roads, which is as good as the day the
coal tar combination was put down, tes
tifies to the excellence of the specifica
tion. Not only that, but these roads
are nnusually good ones on which to
try out the coal tar, for the reason (
that they are used by autos far more
than by any other vehicles.
It happens that before be became 1
state highway commissioner a dozer
years ago Mr. Macdonald had been for
years at the head of a New Haven
firm which laid and still lays tar and
asphalt pavements, and he was pecul
iarly fitted to grapple with the destruc-
tlveness of auto tires on macadam
roads when it became a question of
seeing the fine system of roads in Con
necticut which be is building dlslnte-

NEED OF GOOD ROADS.
Fart of a Transporting Maohino—Thair
Noglsct Mara tho Whola.
“To appreciate the necessity for good
roads in America one should consider
the road as part of u transporting ma
chine. The machine Is composed by a
horse, a wagon and a road. If any one
of the three is poor, the machine Is
poor and Ineffective. Only a small load
can be drawn, and that slowly. We
have been spending thousands of dol
lars building up the bfeed of horses
and improving wagong and have al
lowed the roads to run down and offset
our costly upbreeding. Is it not time
we stopped and considered the common
sense course, to build up all three
simultaneously?”

cessity of good roads was offered by

capable of accomplishing. Then let
us be sensible and provide the possi

grate before hia eyea unless he could
find a protection for them. There were
two things to be done, find a road sur
facing material which is finished when
laid and solid, so that It makes no dust
and needs no dust to maintain Its In
tegrity, or find a method of laying the
dust. Some roadmakers have not given
over trying to find the latter yet, but
after various and varied experiments
Commissioner Macdonald finds that a
mere dust layer, which means oil. Is of
little value. It must be frequently re
newed and cannot be repaired.
Commissioner Macdonald’s specifica
tion lays great stress on the necessity
for having all parts of tbe road per
fectly dry when the coal tar and pitch
surfacing is laid. After tbe shoulders
and gutters have been formed and
shaped tbe contractor must clean off
all dirt or accumulations with split
rattan brooms or a horse sweeper until
tbe No. 2 stone is entirely bare, clean
and free from all material except such
as is found in the No. 2 course, so that
there is no Interruption between the
tar and the No. 2 course of stone. This
No. 2 course is to be evened up to
grade also.
Then comes tbe coal tar application
About 15 per cent of pitch is to be
melted into tbe tar and thoroughly
mixed with it, tbe whole to lie heated
to a temperature of 22i> degrees. At
this temperature the mixture is flood
ed on to the road and broomed In with
split rattan brooms. When this first
application has l«eeome entirely ab
sorbed a second application of exactly
the same thing is to be applied in just
the same wqy. the two making a per
fectly solid surface on top in combina
tion with the No. 2 course of stone,
which is about one inch, longest diame
ter, in size.
While the second application is still
hot and sticky the top dressing of trap
rock splinters from one-half to three-
quarters of an Inch, longest diameter.
Is put on to u uniform depth of not
less than an inch. Two inches will be
even better. At once a steam road
roller of not less than ten tons weight
is to be run over the surface of tbis
and to be kept running over it until the
top dressing is thoroughly Imbedded
in the tar and pitch ''omposltlon. Then
the road must cool thoroughly l>cfore
any use whatever.
There are several Important eoudl
tlons which must be observed, too.
chief among them perhaps being tbe re
quirement that the day must lie hot.
“No water gas tar will tie allowed to
be used nor any adulteration of the
coal tar. Nothing but pure coal tar
shall be used hi the work.”
MANKAtO’S GOOD ROAD.
Minnesota City Has Made a Mudless
and Dustless Pavement.
Mankato, Minn., has solved the prob
lem of finding a durable pavement at
small expense and one that can l*>
used on steep grades as readily ns on
a level surface.
First the driveway was narrowed to
thirty feet, curbed, guttered and boule-
vnrded. Then it was excavated to the
depth of six inches and surfaced. Five
inches of dry crushed limestone one
and a half to two inches in diameter
was put on and rolled down with a ten
ton roller.
Roiling tar from the local gas works
was applied until the entire surface
was covered. Then, says the Cement
Age. a layer of broken stone an inch to
an inch and a quarter in diameter,
mixed with coarse gravel, was applied
on the surface in proportion of three
parts of stone to one <>f gravel This
was first mixed dry on a pi 1.form and
thou thoroughly mixed with hot tar
and appiiod on the surface two inches
thick an I tamped Into place to conform
with the surface of the -'reel
I try domestic cement was ihtMi up-
p.ied lo the surface, and the street was
again rolled Then a coating of sand
was applied and the roller again used.
The pavement was allowed to stand
for two weeks lie fore the street was
thrown open to travel.
The cost was 80 cents a lineal foot to
the property owners on each side of
tbe street or. rather, would have liecti
had the entire cost been assessed
against them The street has a prac
tically waterproof pavement six inches
thick, and it is impossible for the ele
ments to attack tbe surface. Tbe pave
ment has now stood two winters and
shows not tbe slightest wear. It gives
off no dust in summer, although it is
not sprinkled.
Proving Hie Motto.
(Strand Magazine.)
“Well, sir,” exclaimed tho million
aire, “what do you want this morn
ing?”
“I’ve come again to ask for your
daughter,” said the poor but ambi
tious young man.
"Haven’t I told you six times over
on as many different days that it Is
out of the question? What do you
mean by bothering me In this way?
You are making a nuisance of your
self!”
“If I seem to be more persistent
than circumstances warrant, I must
insist that you, sir, are to blame.”
“Me!” shouted the indignant old
man. “I don’t understand you.”
“There,” said the man who loved
his daughter as he pointed to a mot
to over the banker’s desk, “Is my ex
cuse for coming here day after day,
if at first you don’t succeed, try, try,
try again.” Do you believe In that
sentiment, or have you put it up there
simply to deceive people?’’
After he had scratched his head
awhile the mean old plutocrat said:
“Yes, I believe in that. I haven’t
succeeded yet In making you under
stand that my daughter shall not be
come the wife of a fool, but I am
going to keep on trying till I do;
Good morning!”
And that time be he did it.
How to Kill Your Town.
(Exchange.)
Kick.
And don’t quit kicking.
One pull one way and one the other.
Go to the other towns and buy your
goods.
Denounce your merchants because
they make a priflt on their goods.
Knife every man that disagrees
with you on the method of increas
ing business.
Make your town out a very bad
place, and stab it every chance you
get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for
the betterment of the materal inter
est of the people.
Tell your merchant that you can
buy your goods a great deal cheaper
in another town and charge him with
extortion.
Keep every ceit you get, and lon’t
do anything of a public nature, un
less you can make something out of
it directly.
When you say anything of your
town say It in such a way that it will
leave the impression that you have
no faith in it.
Patronize outside newspapers to
the excursion of our own, and then
denounce them for not being as large
as the city papers.

A FAMOUS BEAUTY SPECIALIST
Gives Advce to Women Lacking In
Energy and itality.
Thousands of women are using toil
et preparations unsuccessfully.
Cosmetics fail to improve their
thick, muddy complexions or to ban
ish the pimples, blackheads and
crow’s-feet.
No wonder. Their trouble lies far
deeper than the skin. They have
bad blood, and blood in 90 per cent,
of the cases arises from inflammation
of the mucous membrane. Their
blood is filled with poison which Is
certain to break out in unsighly
humors and blotches—while pale,
drawn faces, deep circled eyes, stoop
ing shoulders and weak backs com
plete the story of suffering and des
pair.
Inflammation of the mucous mem
brane is certain. Banish catarrh and
complexions will clear as If by magic,
pain vanish, eyes will brighten, faces
oecome plump and shoulders erect.
Perfect beauty goes only with per
fect health, and perfect health for
women can only be obtained through
Rexall Mucu-Tone, the one positive
and permanent cure for catarrh.
Mme. Swift, 44 W. 26th St., New
York City, the most famous beauty
specialist in the world and an accept
ed authority on all relating thereto,
has this to say of Mucu-Tone;
“I can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as a cure
for systemic catarrh. Its tonic ef
fects are remarkable. It builds up
the strength and restores vitality. If
women who are tired and run down,
lacking In energy and vitality, will
use Mucu-Tone, they will praise it as
I do for its strengthening and heal
ing qualities.”
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood, and acting directly upon
the muco-cells—the congestion and
inflammation of which are the sole
cause of catarrh—causes them to ex-
I pel the poison and to resume their
