WILSON MESSAGE IN NOW FINISHED To Read Views on Ati-trust Reform Before Two Houses. Washington, Jan. 18.---President Wil son's 'message on anti-trust reform, which he will read to congress Tues day, had received its finishing touch today. The message will be the opening utterance by the administration on the scope. of legislation it believes should be promptly enacted not only to correct those evils in modern busi ness generally deprecated by public 'opinion, but to construct a system of government assistance that will stim ulate business enterprise and develop Sment. The president intends to emphasize the necessity for a friendly spirit. lie wishes business men to be as suried of the administration's inten tion to welcome suggestions and con mon counsel and to afford those af fected ample time to adjust them selves to new laws or conditions. Free criticis-im anud exiression of opinion -on the t rust programme by all con cerned is desired by Mr. \'ilson, as he thinks public hearings will facilitate the passage of the bills. Sumined up, the ad in in istrat ion jprograimine on trust reform for the present session of congress covers the following points: 1. Supplemental legislation to the Shorni:ltn anti-trust law. President Wilson, nenbers of his cabinet and milajority leaders in congress are agreedl that the Sherman law itself should not he altered.

Sand Clay Roads and the Time to Work Them. Washington, D. C., Jan. 19.-There are at .present about 35,000 miles of sand clay roads in -the United States, mainly in the S-3uthern States, ac cording to the o!lee of Public Roads, U. S. Department of Agriculture. The time to work the roads is in the spring when the soil is damp. If the working of the roads is deferred until late in summer when they are dry, they are not only much more difficult to put in proper shape but the cost of re pair is greater than if they were work ed early in the spring. Previous -to 1894 comparatively lit tie, if any of these roads existed. The poularity of this type of road Is due to the facts that it is cheap, compara tively firm and durable, easy to con struct and repair, and that the ma terials out of which it is build are plentiful in many sections of the country. The -sand-clay road is made by mix ing the sand and clay in such a way that the grains of sand touch each other, the spaces between the grains being filled with clay which acts as a binder. Tile ppr11loxilmate mixture of sand and clay may be determined by filling a vessel with a sample of the sand to be used, and another vessel of the same size with water. The water is poured carefully into the sand until it reaches the point of overflowing. Tle ('o1umiie of water 'IemOVed froimi the second vessel represents approxi iimately the proportion of clay needed. The proper proportion of sand and clay can best be dietermined, however, as the work progresses, as some clay will contain more sand than others. In fact. clays ar'e very frequently toundi which already contain about the r'ight. pl'olpo'tiol of sand. If the road to be treated is sandy, the surI'ac'e is first leveled ofT and crOWned(l withl a road machinie. the crown being about 1-2 inch to the foot f'romn the center to the sides. Thie ('lay is then (moped on the surface and carefully spread, so that it will be trol to S inches in depth at the .'enter, a(d graduially decreasing in depth tow\ai'(ls the sides. A layer of ('leani s:nd is then usually added, w hich is thoroughly imlixed with the clay. either by tratlic or by means of pl(1ws a nd disk or tooth harrows. The hest results have been obtained by thoroughly mixing or puddling the material when wet. I"oi' this reason, it is desirable that thei mixing he done in wet weather. The mixing (an he left to the trallie after the miaterials ha1,ve been properly (l'ced, but this involves a whole winter and spring of had road, and even then. the mix ing is not always satisfactory. In all cases, it is advisabe to dress the road withI a road machine or 5plit log drag after the mii at erials have beenm thoi'ou1ghly mixed, and to give it a Crowit of not more than I inch or less than 3-1 inch to the foot from the center to the sides. A light. coating of sand may then be added. The use of the road mmachine or drag should be ('Oiltinuede at f'requenit in termvahls uni til the surface is smooth and1( fir'm. IfI the r'oadl to lbe tireated le' comf hosed of clay, It should first be br'ought to a rough girade with a road machine. The suriface should then be plowed and thoroughly pulverized by harirow lag to aL dep1th of about 4 Inches after which it Is given a cr'own or' slop of about 1-2 Inch to the foot from the ceter'i to the sides. It is then cover ed wihth 6 to 8 Inchios of clean, sharp sand, which Is spreCad thicker In the cen'lter thian at. thle sides. The mnateri als should then -he mixed with plowsa andh harr'owv while they are compara ftively dry3, after' whIch they aire final 13ly1(( tuddld with a harr'iow durin' tg wet we'ather. If the ('lay woi'ks to the sur' face ai the load becomes stick, more sand i shiomuld itle adided. The iroad Is then shapled, criowned, andl ditched in the usiual mannerhO'l withi ai road machine. This should In' done whem thle surlf ace is soft, yePt stiff eniioughi I opiack w'elI under' thle iroller or' the tr'afllc. WIde but shiallow ditch es shoulid lbe prlovided on both sides of thle r'oad, and1( cumlver'ts 01' cross idraIlls shoul d lbe Idacedl whmeirever' wa tel' flows aciross the r'oadi, foi' It is ex ceinlg limportanlt that1 the "'sand~ otn elay r1''oads lie well drlainied. After the clay on sand, or the sand on clay, roadl Is completed, It should be cairefullhy maintainedl until the su r face becomes firmi andl smooth. The conistrulctioni of this type of r'oad Is by 1n0 means a quick operiation. If soft, sticky places a-ppealr, mor'e sand should be addh~ed, ando if loose, sandy places ore found, mnore clay is needed. It is just as Iiportanlt to attendl to these small details as to any other' par't of the woirk, for', ir they aire no glected, the road is liable to fall. 'It r'equir'es aIproximately 1 cuble yaird of clay to surface I 1-2 running yardls of roadl 12 feet In width, or about 1175 cubic yar'ds to the mile.
