M EARLY all materials which enter

physical and chemical tests which
leave little doubt as to their strength
and durability In their structure or be-
haviors in actual service.
While this is true only in part OF
material commonly used on the streets
and highways, even this class OF some
what obscure conditions IS being dupl,
Gated in the modern road material
laboratory, enabling the engineer to
bring practically the same action upon
paving brick, for instance, as is
given it by street traffic, and in a few
hours subjecting it to the same amount
of destructive wear that it receives dur
ing its average life in the pavement.
Or by certain tests he cans predict
how long a certain stone will wear IN
macadam road, and by certain other
tests he can tell what filler or binding
material should be used with a par
ticular stone intended 4 for macadam
road to- secure the best cementing action
which, in a large measure, determines
the smoothness and life of the road.
1, Again, certain standard chemical
tests have been devised which will re-
veal the presence of elements and com
pounds known to have an unfavorab1e
action upon the road material. The
rapid and successful development of
these laboratory tests is doing much to
