BUY SATISFACTION
WITH HARD PAVING
When the street running pust your
holme or In front of your place of
business Is to be paved you lire In-
terested In seeing that the material
chosen has the advantage of provid-
ing for economy and satisfaction.
Your money will pay the Initial cost
and you will have to bear your share
of the maintenance and repair bills.
Time and traffic will test the quality
of the materials used and If they are
chosen wisely, with a view to economy
both in lirst cost and In the mainte-
nance, you will tlnd good cause for
congratulation.
By experience over a term of years
It has been found that hard-surfaced
pavements meet nil requirements. A
street thus Improved Is sure to give
satisfaction. Now first cost alone Is
no good argument; the cheapest sur-
face tuny prove the most expensive In
the end. Itensonable first cost with
proved durability under truttle and
changing weather conditions, and with
low mulntennnce charges as the years
go by are the qualities that should
make up your first stundard by which
to Judge. Other advantages seldom
can outweigh this group that deter-
mines directly the cost of the street
to the taxpayer, at the start and for
yqars to come.
Having paid for a paved street you
want to enjoy the Improvement with-
out being called upon for taxes every
year in order that it may be repaired
or rebuilt. The original cost should
be the Inst except for such Incidental
attention ns may be needed. In case
of necessity It should be posslhle to
cut through the street surface to
reach the underground pipes nnd Inter
to restore the section to Its original
condition. With a pavement properly
built the cost of maintenance Is Insig-
nificant. While there are many In-
stances where streets of this type
have received no attention for severnl
years, once a year the paving should
be Inspected and the Joints filled with
bituminous material If need be. No
patching Is required, for, once built,
hard pavement retains Its shape
through all seasons and carries loads
over bad spots In the supporting enrth
below. If It should become necessary
to get at pipes or conduits burled be-
neath the pavement, It can be cut
through nnd repnlrs reRdlly made so
that the pavement Is truly monolithic
once more, and the pntch can he de-
tected only with difficulty. This work
can be done by the regular city forces
and requires only a few simple tools
Michigan Gives Nation
Its Best Road Builders
Michigan university, In establishing
a chair of highway engineering and
transport, Is among the first of the
colleges of the country to approach
this Important subject from the prac-
ticable standpoint.
It supplies a full stafT of Instructors,
library nnd practical apparatus, to
which 20,000 feet of floor space Is de-
voted.
To receive the master’s degree, can-
didates must hold a baccalaureate or
engineering degree from an approved
college, although provision Is made for
the reception of nontechnical students
of practical experience or training,
who, however, are not eligible for a
degree.
The fact that 900 technical men are
required yearly for the government
service alone, with the thousands of
engineers needed to build and care
for the 2,800.000 miles of surfaced
highways of the United Stntes, nnd
the additional thousands of miles of
clfy streets, make this move on the
part of the university a timely one.
Equipment of the course includes all
modern machinery for the preparation
of materials, testing apparatus, labora-
tories for the analysis of surfacing nnd
road building constituents, abrasion
and Impact machines for proving the
finished work, nnd all necessary ap-
pliances for modern rond construction.
Eight months is the required term for
graduation.
Trees on Highways
Trees adapted to their environs may
grow to a great age nnd nobility, and
In this way highway planting will be-
come a most Important task In the
matter of our rtiral landscapes. This
points to another Important matter—
the designing nnd supervision of the
work. It Is a matter of great Impor-
tance, a mnttcr that requires great
knowledge of plant life as well os the
vision of the artist.
Koudslde planting, the development
of state reservations, nnd rural parks
ore equal In Importance to city plant-
ing nnd are far greater In scope and
vision than the latter. A period of
great cultural advancement Is al-
ways measured by the vision nnd the
outlook for the future.
Missouri Going Ahead
Missouri Is marching steadily forwnrd
In the building of paved highways. The
state highway department awarded
contracts for the construction of H7.8
miles of rond to cost $874,790, making
a total of $18,000,000 of road work con-
tracted for since January 1. Missouri
Is constructing a highway system that
will compare favorably with that of
any state In the Union. The system
will enable the farmers to market their
products more advnntageously by mak-
ing the cities more accessible.

Pine Tar Good
for the Skin
It’s been almost fifty years since
Grandpa’s Wonder Soap first mnde Its
appearance nnd won Immediately the
lasting friendship of our people by the
almost amazing manner In which this
good old Genuine Pine Tar Soap per-
forms its function. Hut, we must all
realize that the real reason why this
friendship has endured Is because the
product on which It was founded hns so
splendidly stood the rigid test of time.
There are thousands of Southern grand-
pas who point with pride to the fact
that for four generations they have
been using nothing hut “that good old
Pine Tar Soap." One reuson for this
is the known fact that Genuine Pine
Tar has properties that are soothing
nnd healing to the skin. It’s great
for grease; fine for shampoo; grabs
any dirt quickly nnd lathers freely
In hard water; good for thf skin, nnd
is also mildly deodorant. Most all
Grocers and other dealers, too, sell
this soap In two sizes, medium and
large, at popular prices.—Adv.
