Mrs. Ella Flagg Young superlntond-
ent of the Chicago public schools was
elected president OF the National Eiu-

annual convention in Boston
Mrs Young is the first woman ever
elected to this office. and her victory
upset all precedents In that the asso-

president from the floor of the con

The vote was GIT to 376 the ques-
tion being on the substitution of Mrs.
Young's name for that of 2 X Sny-
der, Of Colorado, in the report of the
committee on nominations.
The election of Mrs Young was dis
tlnctly a victory for the women in the
convention Since the association con
vened here the women delegates led
by Miss Grace E. Strachan. of New
York; Miss Elizabeth A Allen. of New

HIGHWAY OF THE FUTURE.
One Constructed of Material Durable

One Constructed Of a Material Durable
For Heavy Motor Traffic.
All road builders are now engaged
in trying to devise a road which will
stand motor traffic. Many new meth
DDS have been tried with varying de
grees of success. but none Of them
seems to be perfectly satisfactory.
If broken stone is to form the wear
ing surface. then some means must
be found to hold the binding particles
so firmly that they cannot be sucked
out, and sufficient strength must be
given to the mass to enable It to with
stand the sliding action Of the wheels
at bends and turns. Several kinds of
tar macadam answer fairly well, but
they are expensive
1t would seem that the most promis-
ing kind of road for heavy automobile
traffic is what is called durax in Eng
land 1t is a pavement of three inch
irregular cubes of hard stone laid in
small segments Of circles.
These stones can be cut by machin
cry and are comparatively inexpen
sive They are laid without grout
but there seems to be no reason for
its omission except the cost Great
quantities Of this kind of pavement
have been laid in Germany.

uninus Roadmakinn Plan

Judge William E. Porter of Law
renee county. Pa, has a unique idea
for improving the roads His plan is
a Jail on wheels-that is. place where
prisoners can be locked up at night
and transported from place to place
and employed in roadmaking during
the day He pur his idea to a test and
the results were emiueutiy sJtisfac-
tory The prisoners graded away a
high hill on the West Piusburg road
near Newcastle aud constructed a
cement bridge over a culvert eighty
feet long The only expense TO the
county from this bridge that would
ordinarily have cost thousands of dol
lars was for the material and the serv-
ices of an engineer The men EN-
ployed were sentenced from ten to
ninety days and were Informed that
the sentence would be materially
lessened if they would work on the
roads and not attempt to escape, and
they worked.

CARE OF RoADWAYS.
They Should Always Be Dustless to Be
Considered Ideal.

They Should Always Be Dustless to Be
Considered Ideal.
The good roads era has begun In
many states, and already the steam
roller, the piles of crushed rock along
the roadside and the digging out Of
the original roadway are familiar
sights in many Of the eastern states
The roads built are generally Of ap-
proved macadam construction, which,
completed. are perfect strips Of white
ribbon running through the green
fields and hills Of the rural sections.
These roads are perfectly built, and
as soon as completed the farmers and
other ratepayers contentedly sit back
and feel contented. This is a serious
error and one being made in many
states
Many fail to realize that whenever.
dust is raised road is being destroy
ed This Is particularly the case on
smooth macadam surfaces, where there
is nothing to hold the dust on the
road and where every cross wind
blows off any loose material.
As soon as roads are built arrange
ments should be made to keep them IN
repair. Some dust preventive should
be used Immediately macadam roads
are completed in order to prevent dust.
Oil. tar and many special prepara-
tons are now on the market, and the
communities should be educated to
look upon these additions as a legitl-
mate part Of the road maintenance
California has its oiled roads, over
which motoring is a pleasure to the
motorist and not a dust path to the
citizen who happens TO be on the road
the same day or who has the misfor-
tune to reside along a well Travelled
highway
Massachusetts has proved that road
are a success and more
than continuous appuca-
tons Of water, and in England dust /
is always considered a /
part Of the road problem.
