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

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."

THE INFLUENCE OF
GOOD ROADS ON HEALTH.
A Point In Their Favor That Haa Not
Received Much Attention.
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
