MAKES GOOD GRAVEL WALK

Directions for Building Pathway That Will Last for Years and Always Be Dry. To make a good gravel walk first dig a deep trench the full width of the walk. Fill up the first, or bottom, 12 inches of the trench, with stones, in-

eluding those found in digging it. On this have a layer of ashes 8 to 12 inches deep when well rolled. Finish off with about 6 inches of gravel, shaped so as to give a rounded surface, highest in the center. This will soon pack down into hard surface that will always be dry.
