MAINTAIN ROAD AFTER BUILT
Improper Methods Have Placed Eco«
nomical Types In Disrepute,
Says Colorado Expert.
Prof. E. B. House of the Colorado
Agricultural College Is a firm believer
In the Importance of maintaining a
rond after It is built. He supplies the
following, taken from The Engineer-
ing News-Record, and says of It "It is
so true and lilts the nail so squarely
that I quote it direct":
"The tendency In road improvement
is to select types of roads which re-
quire very little annual maintenance.
The general feeling among laymen
seems to be that when a road surface
requires some annual maintenance to
keep it In good shape, It is an expen-
sive type and should he avoided. Vet,
if the Interest on investment and tho
repairs are taken into consideration,
the cheaper wearing surface may in
miiny eases prove to lie the more sat-
isfactory and economical.
"It Is not uncommon to see roads of
a good type constructed and then,
after they begin to show signs of wear,
to see them neglected entirely or some
method of repair or maintenance Im-
posed which has been found by long
practice to be defective. When we see
mud holes in earth roads filled with
riprap, crushed stone or cinders, it is
not the engineer's fault that an enor-
mous price Is paid for the repair mate-
rial ; the road engineer knows that
proper drainage, anil repairing with
earth from the side of the road, are
the economical methods of mainte-
nance.
"Old gravel and macadam roads are
often repaired by filling ruts and de-
pressions with Inferior material that
is readily displaced by traffic or
ground to dust. Bituminous surfaces
are often patched. If patched ut all,
with loose stone or gravel, and in some

Alabastine can be applied to plastered walls, wallboard, over
painted walls that have become soiled, or even over soiled wallpaper
solid on the wall and not printed in aniline colors.
Alabastine is a dry powder, ready to mix with pure, cold water, full directions
on each package. Alabastine is packed in white and beautiful tints. These, by
combining and intermixing, enable you to carry out individual color plans in
matching rugs and draperies. Alabastine is used in the finest residences ana
public buildings, but priced within the reach of all.
You will readily appreciate the economy of Alabastine over paint or wall-
paper, and its results will be most gratifying.
New walls demand Alabastine, old walls appreciate Alabastine.

THf ONLY TOOL
NEEDED TO kPPIV
To Build Concrete Highway.
Macadam road construction having
proved to be inadequate for a traffic of
more than 2,000 tons a day, the state
of New Jersey has undertaken to build
a concrete highway for 17% miles be-
tween Metuclien and Railway and be-
tween New Brunswick and Kingston,
that will cost $1,157,2(54, or $60,500 a
mile. The new road will be graded to
a width of 30 feet. This will include a
concrete driveway 18 feet wide, tar
macadam shoulder of three feet on
either side and graded shoulder of
three feet on either side outside of
the tar macadam. The concrete will
be unusually heavy, being eight inches
thick at the sides and 10>/a inches In
the center.
OLD AND NEW WORLD LINKED
Sounded Like Destruction.
A large canteen connected with a
certain industrial enterprise in a coun-
try town has Its kitchen in such close
proximity to the dining room that t-he
clatter of dishes becomes at times
quite overpowering.
Father had taken little Robert with
him to lunch. After listening to the
clash and clatter of the carelessly
handled crockery, Robert asked : "Fa-
ther, don't they want to use the dishes
any longer?"

Care Of.
enses with concrete. In a number of
streets and roads recently inspected,
brick was used to patch concrete sur-
faces, and concrete used to patch brick
surfaces.
"When careless methods of tills kind
are applied to tho maintenance of
public highways, the result Is that a
good type of road Is made to appear
unsatisfactory and uneconomical, and
road Improvement Is discouraged
i particularly the cheaper types of Im-
provement, which in most localities are
the best If properly maintained. It is
the utter neglect of mnlutenance and
the many improper methods of repair
that have molded public sentiment
against types of roads requiring an-
nual maintenance, and have led road
promoters and officials to disregard
many economical types."
Color of His Thoughts.
"Gasby is downcast on account of
his lack of culture."
"Yes, he Is blue because he is not
well rend."
Roots of Country's National Life Not
Exclusively Planted This Side
of the Water.
The American Revolution was un-
questionably a great historic event by
reason of its connection with the for-
mal Institution of a new nation, but
the roots of our national life were not
then planted. They run back to the
first settlements and the first charters
' and agreements, nor is the genesis of
■ the nation to be found there; sharp
j tis nre the beginnings of our history
' on this continent, no student could con-
tent himself with a conception of our
national life which took Into account
only the events and conditions deter-
mined by the people and soli of Amer-
ica. Even in actual relations between
, America and Europe there never has
I been a time when the Atlantic has not
had an ebbing as well as a flowing
tide, and the instinct which now sends
us to the Old World In passionate pil-
grimages Is a constituent part of our
1 national life.—II. E. Scudder.
