ASK APPROVAL “OF SCORIA IN - ROAD MAKING Highway Commission Would = Give It Same Status as Gravel ; Recommendation that __scoria, found extensively in western North Dakota, be considered on a par with gravel in consideration of bids for improving federal aid highways, will be forwarded to the United States Bureau of Roads, H. 0. Wray, assist? ant state engineer said today. = The report, he said, is based upon scoria surfacing in the western part of the state. The material, which is red and is found in shale-like lumps, is said by geologists to be clay baked hy fires of lignite coal. Wherever a lignite bed is found to have burned scoria is found above it. Because the material is red the re- port will state that it is particularly appropriate for paving on the Red Trail (National Parks Highway), which passes through the state from Fargo to Beach. . The value of scoria is set out in the report as follows: Automobiles will not skid on it,-wet or dry; it} requires 2 minimum of dragging and‘ still maintains its appearance, shape and. surface; weeds and grass will not grow on the edges of the road; it is specially suitable in connection with gumbo, sticky clays and on fills by reason of its readiness to absorb and throw off moisture, leaving the road hard and dry;~it is found inj great quantities. Roads which have had scoria sur- faces for the last ten years show no appreciable wear or ruts, if any degree of care has been taken of the toad, the report says. However, care must be used in selecting the material, Mr’* Wray said, as scoria is found in the same pit-varies in its degree of -ntility,. some ofsit being useless. mee eee is crushed to lumps of approximately three inches before being used.

Growing Even Larger' Will Be Considerably More: Last Half of Year, Com- pany Declares Sale of Hudson and Essex cars for the last six months of 1922, based / on reports from all parts of the coun: try, will be from 20 to 25 per cent| greater than for the first five months, according to word just received from the Hudson Motor Car company by RB. Loubek, of the R B. Loubek! Motor Co., local Hudson-Essex deal- er. “This is-so desnite the fact that | May and June each hung up new production records,’ says Mr..Loubek. “Hudson officials report that the demand for their cars is equally as heavy as during the spring months, with no let-up in sight. Shipments | from the factory for the first 15 days of August were higher than for any } similar number of days in the 13 years of the company’s history. Dis- tributors and dealers throughout the country continue to report new high sales records, with many still be- hind on delivery. Closed car sales are growing even larger. “Demand for cars has been s0| great that tentative production sched- ules for the later months of the year | have been increased three times June 1, Sufficient orders have already been placed to keep the factory at capacity production for several weeks. No let-up because of the coal and rail- road difficulties is in prospect. “July sales set a new July record for Hudson and Essex. August sales will exceed July's and will be 200 per cent greated than for. August, 1921, and nearly 40 per cent more than for the largest. previous August. September sales will also set a new high September record. “Demand from a number of sec- tions is heavier than at any previous times this year.

July. pany’s distributors have ordered thé heaviest shipments of the year for the next few weeks, and about two- thirds of the remainder are asking that their spring and summer. allot- ments be continued.
