Hundreds America Will Be Strongly Represen ted At The Roads Congress. WASHINGTON. D. C, Aug. 27.- Whcn the "Ivernia " Royal Mail Ship of the Cunard Line, sailed on the el eventh, it carried among other pas sengers, Logan Waller Page, Director of the Office of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agricul ture, who, being especially commis sioned by President Roosevelt, is on his way to France to tell the highway engineers of the world just exactly what, in. his opinion, the automobile is doing to the macadam thorough fares of civilization, and what should be done to counteract its destructive effects. President Roosevelt summoned Di rector Page to the White House and conferred with him about this latest and most startling highway problem. He learned that an almost incalcul able amount of damage is being done daily, and then he informed the Di rector that it was his wish that the United States be strongly represen ted at the coming International Road Congress in Paris, and he asked for the names of two other experts to contribute information at that treat gathering. Mr Page named Colonel Charles S. Browncll, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds of the Dis trict of Columbia, and Mr. Clifford Richardson, nationally famous as an authority on bituminous road mater ial. They were appointed, and Mr. Page was named as chairman of the delegation. Although this congress will not as semble at Paris until Oct. 11, Director Tag! decided to sail tiiree days since it, being understood that he would personally inspect some of the roads of England, Germany, and France be fore 'the 'distinguished assemblage isj called to order. He wished to view at close range the retrogression of those famous highways; and to see if the speeding automobiles worked the same damage there as they do here and study the remedial work that it being done. Here he has learned that by the tractive force of the rub ber tires of the. speeding motor car the surface binding dust of rock roads is drawn from its resting place and is sent swirling to the adjacent fields. Inasmuch as the integrity of the ma cadam road rests absolutely in this surface leaves the road nothing but a mass of loose i round stones. The tests held here, especially those on the Conduit Road near Washington, D. C, prove this contention absolute ly, and he carries with him a wonder ful collection of photographs taken during the progress of those tests, by lightning-like cameras. These pic tures will be submitted to the Con gress assembled, being but the contri bution of one savant, for it is not as sumed that America alone has solved this problem, the greater question that will arise will be how to over come the effect of automobile traffic on hard roads without in any way re striding the automobile or preventing its development. Two solutions there are to that question: one, to find a material of uhich roads may be made which creates no dust, or secondly, to so treat the roads already constructed that the dust will be retained upon them. That, of course, is now being done in many parts of the counry by spraying with calcium chloride and through the use of various bituminous preparations. Director Page and his associates will have much interesting information to contribute along those lines, for many ' miles of America's roads have, within the past few months, been treated by these various preparations, many of the tests under the direction of some expert from the Federal Office of Public Roads.
