A surface was proâ€" duceq by mixing the materials, spreadâ€" ing them evenly over a wellâ€"estaolished base and rolling, or allowing traffic to beat it down. The result was a smooth. moderatelyâ€"hard road but it was found that while being rutted by traffic, so much evaporation took place that the clay. used to bind the other materials together, driegq up and blew away on the wind or was cast aside by traffic. Road builders knew that clay has one great quality that only the more exâ€" nensive materials haveâ€"it serves as an excellent binder on account of its cchesive powers. The problem was to kzeep the clay in such a condition that it would always act as a binder and not disintegrate. duceq by m ing them eyv base and rC Clay Must Be Kept Damp Calcium chloride first answered the problem. Due to the quality cof the chemical or absorbing water from the atmosphéere and distributing it to the clay in times of dryness, the road was held together firmly, provided it was decently drained and had a good base on which the real weight of traffic could be carried. Then United States engineers began experimenting with common salt. What thsy found may completely alter the secondary road situation on this conâ€" tinent. Dr. C. D. Looker has been among the most active in this field, and a reecnt report handed down by him contains pr¢obably more informaâ€" tion on the subject than has ever been amassed before. Extracts from his reâ€" bort follow: "It has been. discovered that when ccrtain other materialsâ€"are mixed with clay, the supporting value of the mixâ€" ture is greater than the combined value of the materials when used separately. For example, a cohesionless sand with supporting value of less than 300 lbs. per square foot might be combined with a fairly stiff clay with supportâ€" ing value of 5,000 pounds per square foot to give a mixture that has supportâ€" ing value of 17,000 pounds per square fot . . . Clay is subject to fairly wide limits of expansion and contraction when alternately dampened and dried â€"as by rain, wind and sunshine. In a rcadway, untreated clay shrinks as it dries . . . It is necessary therefore to maintain a constant supply of moistlire within the clay particles in order to have them retain their maximum coâ€" hesiveness for continued compaction of the stabilized material.

The crystallized salt and its effect on clay make a hard surâ€" face crust which inhibits furth:r sub soil evaporation but which in turn will shed water . . . . It is practically imâ€" possiole to wash or bleach all of the salt or its effect out of clay." But the point that will probably apâ€" peal most in Timmins and the North at present is contained in a statement of the chemist‘s: ‘"Their construction (saltâ€"stabilized roads) involves a maxiâ€" mum expenditure for labour and a minimum for material. Experience has indicated therefore, that the saltâ€"soilâ€" stabilized road represents more Stories of telegraph despatches being aetoured half way around the continent during a serious breakdown of dirgsct ccmmunicatiocn had their counterpart in connection with the breaking of news in the North Country concerning the fatal accident which happened . to Hollywood‘s screen star and America‘s famous aviator recently.

Generally speaking, the benefits of railway operation are not always to the railway but to the country and the psople at large," stated J. Edouard Labelle, K.C., trustee of the Canadian Naticnal Railways, speaking recently before the Commerâ€" cilal Travellers Association at Sherâ€" brooke, Que.

During the Henry regime Ottawa contributed a monthly average of $760,000. This means aA monthly increase of nearly $500,000 to the Hepburn Government. Hon.

He stole a car to help in his escape and was caught in this stolen car at North Bay. When the North Bay police arrested him on the charge of stealing the car they sent his fingerprints to Ottawa just to see if there was anything else against him on if he were an old offenâ€" der. In this way it was learned that he was an escaped prisoner from Biu.:â€" wash. Larocque was sentented to two years less one day as a rqsu.lt’of the theft of the car. Then he was taken to Sudbury to stand trial for escaping from the jail farm. Magistrate Mcâ€" Kessock ssntenced him to two years at Portsmouth Penitentiary for escaping from Burwash. As the terms are conâ€" secutive Larocque has four years extra to serve and when this is done he still has the Burwash terms to complete. That is the way the matter works. All terms imposed for cscaping from priâ€" son farms, jails or prisons are in addiâ€" tion to the original terms.
