August 11. ? "When we give specifications for concrete work on the farm, we always assume that gravel can be obtained at homo.-By gravel we mean small pebhlea between 1-4 Inch and 2 1-2 Inched In diameter, the size to be determined by the work for which It Is Intended. The smaller size, or pebbbles that will go through a 1-4 inch mesh screen are considered as sand. A good, clean, coarse sand Is much better than very fine sand for average concrete work," says E. R. Raney, Farm Engineer for the State College Extension Division. The usual mixtures recommended by Mr. Raney are 1:2:4 for watertight work which means 1 part cement, 2 sand, and 4 gravel. Where it Is not possible to get good, clean sand It is best to use a 1:1 1-2:3 for this work. In all foundation work and heavy walls such as bam and silo founda tions, and basement walls, a 1:3:5 mixture can be u&ed. "Where It is not possible to get the gravel desired, larger stones or brick may be broke up for this purpose." says Mr. Raney, "or the large stones may be used by working aB many of them as possible into the foundation. This is done by mixing the cement and sand in the proportion shown and pouring this into the formB, alternat ing a layer of mortar and then a layer of stone and keeping the stone well tamped. In this way it is possible to reduce the amount of cement neces sary and at the same time have a stronger foundation. Mr. Rpney states that It Is best noti to use stone the diameter Which Is more than one-third the thickness of the wall. Brick should always be wet before working them into the concrete, as they will damage It by drying out the water- too fast. Bank run gravel Is very often used. This Is a mixture of sand and gravel as it comes from the gracel pit or other piece. This should be screened alvrayB through a 1-4 Inch mesh screen and then remixed In the proper proportion as it is rarely ever found In the de sired proportion and even at best it would not be uniform. A great deal of trouble has been ex perienced in doing concrete work in some sections of western North Caro lina. especially by those not familiar with conditions, due to the finely ground mica dust which is present in the sand. The only way to overcome this where clean sand cannot be ob tained is to substitute a richer mix* ture. BOTH HAVE RIGHTS | There would be fewer accident* if giotorlsts and pedestrians would each Mmember that the other ban certain well defined rights In the streets. Observance of these _ rtifrts will solve many of the proljJemB that arise from congested streets. And congestion is a problem on ev ery "Main street" In America. It Is no longer confined to the large titles. because with the general use of the automobile, there Is no community that can not either boast of or con demn Its traffic problem. Some pedestrians are just as lia ble to forget that the motorist has certain well defined rights on the streets. Just as the motorist Is prone to be neglectful In recognizing the rights of the pedestrian. Automolble drivers should not be privileged to detain pedestrians at street corners for an unnecessarily long period and neither should pedes trians be allowed to hold up a long line of automobiles, which increases the danger of accidents. It Is scarcely fare for the pedes trian to dart in front of a moving motor vehicle Just because he thinks he can "make It." Neither Is It fair for 'the motorist it the motorist will be uniformly courteous to the pedestrian and the pedestrian will be equally courteous to the motorist, many ot these com mon traffic problems will solve them ! solve.
