12-Mike Stretch Of Road
To Test Bases
A cement stabilization program,
part of the State Highway Depart-
ment's efforts to provide better roads,
is being ca'rried on at the present
time on a 12-mile stretch of road be-
tween Cheboygan and Alpena, ac-
cording to Prof. William S. Housel, of
the civil engineering department.
Stabilizing the cement bases of the
roadways will provide a smoother rid-
ing, longer lasting roadbed over
which only a thin surface need be
added, Professor Housel explained. It
was at first hoped that the stabilized
bases would be suitable for surface
courses, but present developments
indicate that the real field is in the
base course, he added.
£Diversity of Soils
"There have been other projects of
this nature undertaken in the United
States, principally in South Carolina
where sandy stretches are difficult
to stabilize. The reason'for choosing
this stretch of road to experiment
on is because it contains a number
of the types of soil to be found in the
state, from loose uniform sand to
heavy clay," Professor Housel said.
Ordinary soil mixture has a very
low stability and in order to reach a
higher degree of stability it is neces-
sary to compact it, he continued. Re-
search in soil mechanics has demon-
strated that soil may be compacted to
its maximum density most easily
when it has just suffivient moisture to
lubricate the soil particles and not
enough to fill up the spaces between
particles.
Moisture Is Controlled
The road bed for cement stabiliza-
tion, after the soil has been broken
up, is brought to a degree of moisture
previously determined by laboratory
tests. The function of the cement is
to bind the soil particles together af-
ter the mixture has been thoroughly
compacted, and to ove'rcome disinte-
Woollcott To Speak
In Place Of Russell
Alexander Woollcott, author, critic
and radio personality, will speak in
Hill Auditorium, Nov. 29 under the
auspices of the Oratorical Associa-
tion, Prof. Carl G. Brandt of the
speech department, chairman of the
committee on University lectures, an-
nounced yesterday.
Woollcott will replace D3ertrand
Russell who has cancelled his Amer-
ican tour because of illness. It will
be the third lecture of the series.
"The Oratorical Association regrets
the necessity of changing its series,"
Professor Brandt said, "but it feels
extremely fortunate- in having se-
cured another outstanding personal-
ity,."
