Director of Publio Roado Qlvoo Advlo to Farmoro and Othora Who Wiah t Make Transportation of Cropa Eaalar Durability of Matarialo Difforo. lu an effort to prevent wait of mil lions of dollars annually la the distri bution of runds for construction of public rosds Logan Waller race, di rector of tbo office of public roads of Uie department of agriculture, bns beeu making scientific tests to deter mine what materials sbould be put Into tbe roads designed to meet differ ent kinds of traffic. It has been found tbat more than $1,000,000 a day 1 spent on construction of roads. No estimate Is made of tbe portion of those funds tbat Is wasted, but It Is believed to mount Into the millions. Efforts are being made to teach the country that the expenditure of large sums of money ou certatu types of roads may result almost In a total waste. A road built f materials which AN EXAMPLX OP A OOOD BOAD. would lie Ideal In one locullty may not serve the purpose elsewhere, and the money expeuded may bring scarcely any result in reducing the cost of haul ing or making It easier for tbe farmer to get to the shipping point wltbbls crops. To aid tbe farmers wbo want to bnlld their own rouds ami assist com munities that desire to Improve roads near by, the office of public roads of tbe department of agriculture has em ployed experts to test all materials and study their usefulness on roads sub jected to certain traffic condition. Tbe office of public roads Is acting In an ad visory capacity to trfany states and counties, giving a practical form of national aid. On roads where there Is heavy traffic It bas been found tbat certain kinds of materials are better than others and tbat while ODe kind of binder may not serve the purpose, another kind pre serves tbe road Indefinitely. Millions of dollars -doubtless have been wasted because of tbe absence of the scientific knowledge. "There are two ways In which the engineer may avail himself of the In formation iieceHsary to a proper selec tion of roud material," says Director Page "The only certain one Is to make an iictmil service test on the material under observation and under tbe same conditions of traffic and cli mate to which the proposed rood will be subjected This method imprac tical except in rare instances, due to the lapse of time before definite re sults can be obtained. The second method Is, by means of short time lab oratory tests, to approximate the de structive agencies to which the mate rial will be subjected on the road, sup plementing this knowledge by a study of tbe results obtained in practice on material of ft similar nature." oooooooooooooooooooooooooo o o O MIREDI O o o o o O BY GEORGE P.

The Influence of good roads on pub lic health Is a point In their favor that has not rccelveil, much attention. The Kansas state iniard of benltb puts tbe feature In the foreground and wants modern lmprovt-d romls In that state because they prevent disease. They do this because they afford drainage. A good road can never re main a good road unless It Is well drained. The roadbed must not have any standing water either on Its sur face -or bkw the surface. It must have drainage, and tbe gutters beside the roads must have alope and be kept free from obstruction ao that all sur plus water can escape quickly and easily. An old fsshlotred. 111 drained road, with Its frexpieiit pools of staudlng water on the roud or by tbe roadside, with Its ditches tilled with weeds, brush and all sorts of trash. Is a breed ing place of Insect life. Mosquitoes, tiles nud other Insects, such as chlucb bugs and grasshoppers, multiply there iu profusion It Is these Insects which either carry disease or are of the kind which destroy the fanner's crops. For these reasons well built, well drained highways are a double beueflt since they give the farmer the Inestimable advantage of easy communication with his market at all times of the year and by Improving the drainage check tbe breeding of harmful Insects. (rood roads mean, therefore, not only a great savlug of time and labor for the farmer, but the Improvement In the hygienic conditions of the farm ing eommunlty. lie Is brought nearer to hkt market, the hauling capacity of his trams Is greatly Increased, and' he is no lunger marooned on his fnrtu for many wwlu earn year owlug to tile lmpuH.su hie conditions of tbe roads. That health Is promoted as well us comfort nud wealth by good roads sbould give tbe argument for their construction Irresistible force so that their building shall not cease until tho wholo country la lined with them SCOTLAND FOR GOOD ROADS. Projected Construction of Experimen tal Road Sections In Scotland. lu Deceuibvr, 1'Jl'J, according to an article in a recent Issue of the Journal of tbe Instltntlon of Municipal and County Engineers freat Krltaln), tbe Scottish District of the Institution of Municipal and County Engineers ap pointed a committee to "collect and tabulate data as to Improved methods of roud construction and particularly Information as to the effect of climatic conditions taken In conjunctlou with traffic upou exHTlmentnl road lengths to be laid dowu in districts In Scotland which hiive distinctive climatic condi tions ' After having the matter under ad visement the committee decided to put down experimental roud lengths In a number of districts In Scotlund. Ar rangements have been made for tho location of these sections in parts of that country where the climatic condi tions are snitable for the experiments and where the local surveyors will co operate with the committee. Provr sionnl arrangements with county sur veyors have been inude It Is stnled that the road bourd Is co operating with tho Institution In this work and that It Is expected tbat the experiment will be of exceptional In terest on account of the close consider ation It h proposed to give to tbo ef fect of climate. It Is also expected tbat the great variations lo climatic condition! lu Hcot In nil will facilitate the Isolation of the factor of weather effect la the destruction of road sur faces. Rubbsr Roads. Tbe proposition to build rubber roads has been seriously put forward In Ixn don. It Is said that the vibration In tbe streets due to the heavy solid tired motor trucks and omnibuses 'ms be come so great as to coustlli.' n seri ous menace to the integrity of old buildings It Is. besides, In -oiue por tlons of the city an Intolerable nui sance to the olllce workers. Tbe case of the region atxut St. Paul's cotae drnl is cited In particular It will soon be a questlou there of reducing vibra tion nt any cost And. although It baa been calculated that a rubber road to compete commercially with wood blocks or asphalt must have a life of fifty years (which of course It would not have), tbe big cities may be driven to such roads In congested districts de spite their high cost EXPLAINS POSITION I, Alum roMMissioNKK wsith.
