THEMICIHIGA NDAILY Improvement 0J ThroDgh SojSt 'Highway Department Uses 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,."
