Burning the Roads, Clarksdale, Mississippi. — The burned clay, when rolled 

 down and compacted, forms a road surface of from 6 to 8 inches in thickness, If 

 properly burned, the material should be entirely changed in character, and when 

 it is wet it should have no tendency to form mud. Photos from Office of Public
