To follow such a course would be most unfortunate. The cost must alwavs be considered Jn determining the type of modern road surfaces which are selected, and the allowable cost must be determined by the traffic which is to be borne. Local conditions vary to such an extent that very careful consideration must be given each project before determining the character or type of roads to be built.

Thia Week Cohesion: What it means in your chassis bearings A LEAD bullet, carefully sawed apart and brought d V. together under pressure with a slight twisting motion, will stick together almost as one solid piece. This is called cohesion and is a characteristic of all metals.
