Persia is fortunate in having excel-
lent 'road -making materials always
near at hand. A country of rocky
mountain pe'a'ks and ranges makes' it
possible for them usually to have
,crushed stave and gravel available
•within a few Hundred feet. All along
the highways gangs af. workmen. are
constantly employed to repair dannag
done by xaaus and the wear of con
stank ttse. The amazing thing to real-
ize is that these roads are all load
without the aid of modern road -mak-
ing machinery, The stone is all crush-
ed laboriously by hand, the roadbed
prepared and the ditches dug by
nneans of spades. However, they have
been well and carefully laid out by th
