Up to some years ago representations
of the gods were painted In colored

at the close. Later, the Navajo began

Dallas, Texas.—The "science of
road-building" has undergone such
tad leal changes in recent years, in
response to ever growing demands for
economical highways capable of bear-
ing the constantly increasing traffic,
that it may be said to have been new-
ly created. And in embarking on its
big highway building program dur-
ing the past three years, Texas is
having the benefit and will continue to
have the benefit of all this progress.
Such is the conclusion of P. J. E.
Macintosh in his second articfe in
The Texas Monthly, surveying* the
highway situation in Texas. "Better
and Straighter Roads" is the title- of
the article, and he declares that such
is the present object o * everybody con-
nected with the bu'iness of building
highways.
"That the highwuy department is
determined to carry forward Toxas'
construction program under condi-
tions which shall embody the best!
practice in the light of fully tested
experience," writes Macintosh, "is-
shown by the fact that at the present
time a committee of leading engineers!
is completely revising the depart-
ment's standard specifications. This'
committee, which was chosen to per-
form this important task by Chief En-
gineer Gibb Gilchrist, and which U
headed by A. P. Rollins of Dallas, has
been at work for soveral months, and
already has submitted three drafts of
the new specifications to all inter-
ested parties, including engineers, ma-
terial manufacturers, contractors and
others, for suggested revision."
Macintosh points out that the com-
mittee has had the active co-opera-
tion of material manufacturers, con-
tractors, and all others concerned with
road building. The new specifications,
he says, will embody the collective ex-
perience of ail of these, and they will
measure up with the best in the coun-
try.
Research Has Helped
"It is a fact," he writes, "that the
various interests concerned with road
juilding have vied with each other
jince the rise of motor traffic to con-
tribute toward the solution of the va-
rious problems which have been en-
countered. The manufacturers of the
major materials in the United States
—cement, asphalt, brick, sand and
gravel, crushed stone—all have na-
tional organizations which have fos-
tered constant research which has
been richly productive of results and
which hfcs been oi.j of the chief driv-
ing forces toward the goal of better
and more economical highways. The
motive has been selfish, it may be
aaid. and the primary object in each
case has been to promote the interests
of the particular industry involved.
But the public, nevertheless, has been
the chief beneficiary of this progress,
and Texas will be the beneficiary of
it in carrying forward its great high-
way construction program."
Some Important Changes
Enumerating some of the changes
which have taken place, Macintosh
writes as follows:
"First of all the increased traffic
and the greater distances habitually
traveled have made the location of the
road—the course of the right-of-way,
so to apeak—of much greater impor-
tance than it was in the past; then
the necessity of roads of uniform
strength to bear certain volumes of
traffic, up to a maximum, has made
absolutely essential a uniformity of
the materials going into the building
at overy foot of a given road, and this
need has been met by a revolutionary
change in the character of aggregates
—the sand, gravel, and crushed stone
which go into the base of any high
type road. Today aggregates are
graded as carefully as cotton, and any
given quantity of a certain grade wif]
run uniform throughout.
"There is a bettor knowledge of the
character and use of all materials to-
day than ten years ago, or even five
years ago, an improvement which the
manufacturers of those materials have
done most to achieve. For example,
practically nothing was known of the
physical properties of asphalt, where-
as today it is an accurately known
and controlled product. Moreover,
practically in the past ten years we
have developed in Texas a natural
asphalt product, the limestone rock
asphalt mined in Uvalde county.
Concrete today is immeasurably supe-
rior, and the methods of road con-
struction with this material have been
revolutionized, largely due to the re-
search fostered by the cement manu-
facturers through the Portland Ce-
ment Association.
Straighter Roads Needed
"Ten years ago one-way bridge*
were universally regarded as adequate-
in Texas, whereas today the highway
department has established a mini-
mum requirement of 24 feet width of
roadway on all bridges. Wider right-
of-ways for highways are now in-
sisted upon by the department, the
minimum being fixed at 100> feet,
whereas until recently 60 feet was
regarded as ample. Ten years ago
wo built roads so that tho surface
sloped upward to the middle to an ele-
vation of six Inches, now the 'crown*
is only one and a half inches high.''
Macintosh enumerates ether im-
proved practices. He emphasizes,
however, that straighter roads, fol-
lowing the shortest route between
main points, will be one of the great-
est advances if they can be obtained
through the co-operation of tho poo-
Itle. They will save millions of dol-
ars a year to Texas motor traffic, he
says.
Macintosh's next article will be on
the highway situation in the lower
Rio Grande Valley.

Your Corn C?op
LIKES
IS it just another corn crop for you this
year, or have you decided to join tho
ranks of farmers who make a crop that really
is a crop? Now is the time to decide ...and
you can just as easily make a good crop. No
luck to it... just one single rule for success.
Chilean Nitrate of Soda is the difference
between a good corn crop and a poor one. A
Bide dressing with this nitrate fertilizer
(the only natural nitrate in the world)
greatly increases the yield. Makes larger
ears with more corn per ear and more ears
per stalk.
A Texas Farmer
G. Ross Wright, Omaha, Morris County,
"Tex., uses Chilean N itrate of Soda on all his
crops. Here is what he says about this nat-
ural nitrate fertilizer on corn:
"I have found that Chilean Nitrate will
doable my yield of corn."
He uses it on fruit trees, too, with profit-
able results.
Chilean Nitrate is not synthetic. It is mined
and refined in Chile, largely by American
capital, brought here in American ships and
sold to American farmers at a low price.
See your local dealer. Ifhe does not carry Chilean
Nitrate, he can easily get it for yon.
