Nothlnf affords a better insight
Into a personality than his or her
like and dislikes. Let Miss Fred
erick's friends gratify their curiosity
when told, on the strictest authority,
that her favorKe color is delft blue,
ant that the Jewel she most likes is
a sapphire, in combination with dta-j
monds. She ltkes to read detective
stories anl narratives of adventure,
and she reads a great deal. Candy
she enjoys and her closest friends see
to it that she never wants for choco-'
late. Highly saesoned food appeals
to her and recently she ate her first
hot tamale, in California where she
lives not far from the Goldwyn Stu
dios. She enjoys singing simple bal
lads, including "Mavourneen," which
she can't forget because her first pro
fessional appearance required her to ,
do that twice a day. I
Her bungalow is always fragrant
with white carnations and red rones.
She appreciates either flower, but
loves them together. She owns an
intelligent Pomeranian a black one,
which she calls "Stocker." And she
adores him. She owns a folding
typewriter which she keys proficient
ly writing her personal letters on it
and even taking. dictation sometimes
from her husband, Willard Mack.,
She revels In magnificent furs, but in
spite of her ermines and sables really
thinks she prefers crossed fox.
OF INTKRRST TO PROPERTY
OWNERS
" n 1. 1. Vanco
While the matter" of paving Is be-,
fore the people of Alliance, a few (
lines might be of Bome Interest to
parties owning property within pav
ing district No. 2. All fairminded
and public spirited people will admit
that it is about time that Alliance
was beginning to pave Ks streets,,
and about the only thing to be done
now is for the property owners to get
together and decide what kind . of
material to be .used, the cost of con
struction and to find a competent
and responsible man to do the work.
On last Friday evening at the City
Hall, sealed bids wereot be opened,
for the construction of this work, ac
cording to the. plans and specifica
tions adopted by the city council for
the different kinds of paving. Some
people are wondering why only bne
bid was submitted and thht for the
most expensive material, while a
number of Interested parties were
tiara In hill nn the. Work. but for
amriA reason failed to do so. It is
nnim evident that the specifications

work was to be done was not to the
liking of the men present. In regard
to ' these specifications recently
adopted by the council, I wish to say
this. While for some localities,
I where climatic conditions, soil and
the material for doing the work are
different, the requirements might be
alright;, but for Alliance, I think
they are somewhat overdrawn and
inconsistent. It Is quite evident that
the party who drew up the specifica
tions was favorable to some mater
ials and prejudiced against others.
The writer hsa been In the concrete
business for many years and in his
opinion there is no comparison be
tween reinforced concrete and the
other kinds of materials proposed.
The specifications called for several
different kinds of pavement rein
forced concrete, concrete and brick,
and concrete and asphalt. It In
specified that the concrete shall be 7
inches thick at the curb and 9 inches
thick at the center of the street, re
inforced with mash wire weighing
not less than 28 lbs per 100 square
feet, the mix to be 1 part Portland
cement, 2 parts sand, and 3 parts
gravel, making a pavement which is
indestructable. Against this, brick
and asphalt Is proposed, and that is
where the inconsistence comes in.
Reinforced concrete is considered by
the best engineers In the country to
be superior to any other material for
the construclton of roadways, and it
Is also the opfnlon of those same en
gineers that there Is no aggregate In
the tlnl-ied States'for the making of
concrete that Is superior to Platte
River gravel. We have an abun
dance of that mateitnl close at hand,
which can be laid down at a nom
inal cost, eliminating long hauls and
high transportation charges on other
kinds of materials. The specifica
tions are overdrawn, 1 think, in that
they provide for unnecessarily heavy
concrete. To be sure, when we do
begin paving, we want the very bent
to be had for the money expended,
but by lowering the concrete specifi
cations even one Inch, and making It
6 Inches at the curb and 8 inches at
the center, reinforced as specified,
mixed 1 part cement, and 4 parts
Finite River pit run gravel, it would
make a pavement that tor strength
and durability has no equal, and
would reduce the cost about $15,000.
A child born yesterday In Alliance
would not live long enough to see
this kind of pavement worn out.
Therefore, It might be well for the
property owners, upon wohm the
burden of the expense will fall, to
bestir themselves and look Into this
matter, and if reinforced concrete Is

desired, they would have a pavement
that Is vastly anperlor to any other
material and at a much lens cost.
When the paving is once started It
is not a question of a dozen or fifteen
blocks In a. couple of months time,
but the work will be continued from
year to year until the whole town Is
paved. My main reason for writing
this article is to use my Influence in
securing for the city the best possi
ble work so that In the years to come
we msy not regret our action.
