Corrugated Iron Pipe

(Continued from Page Eighteen) preventing any movement of the angles, the other half section is moved up and the concrete poured.

This method gives a true, straight pier without offsets at the different section elevations. An example of the type of work resulting from the use of these forms, after the sections of Armco pipe have been removed, is shown in the accompanying photograph. The forms shown in the other photograph have been used three times.

The size of the pier, of course, is determined by the diameter of the pipe.

Practically any size can be used.

RIDE IN YOUR CAR

Automobiles are built to ride in, not on, says a warning from the National Safety Council. Adults usually show better sense, but schools boys, (and some girls too) seem to think that even if a car is filled up, it will carry a few more on the running board, the spare tire, or the bumpers.

Gasoline Consumption Not Affected By Depression

In the face of the customary increase in motor vehicle registration each year, the consumption of gasoline shows a marked increase in the first half of 1931 as compared with the first half of 1930, according to W. R. Smith, president of Road Builders Association.

Statistics of gasoline consumption give a total of 7,118,000,000 gallons for first half of 1931 in contrast with 6,810,000,000 for the first half of 1930, an increase of 2.3 per cent.

It appears evident from these figures that travel by motor vehicle has increased in spite of the depression, whether for recreational or business use. Due to the fact that many people have put off buying new autos, it seems evi-dent that there will be a rapid increase in motor vehicle registration when business conditions return to normal.
