good in place of what he has sacrificed
to the common welfare.
At any rate, the Office of Roads is
now taking special pains to make clear
the economic advantage of avoiding
steep grades in their roads, even at
some sacrifice Of better land. Tnvesti-
cation shows that the laying Of such
roads over hills has resulted more
from attention to the preservation of
farm lines than from scientific atten-
ton to the problem of road building.
According to the testimony of farm
ers consulted, where a horse might be
able to pull 1000 pounds on a level
road, it would have difficulty in pulling
5000 pounds up a steep hill. The size
Of the load, therefore, tends to be
measured by the grade Of the largest
hill on the road to market. In a mum
Der of cases actual experiment shows
that the relocating of roads around
hills has been accomplished, either
with NJ addition In road length in some
instances, and with the adding of only
a few feet to the highway in others.
The Office knows Of no case where a
properly relocated road which has cut
out grades has led to any question as
to its material reduction of hauling
costs.

with a face value OF s2S5,400, were de-
stroyed. Nor did one of these stamps
leave the Bureau precincts.
Near the close Of the past fiscal
year, inspectors of the post office de-
partment visited the Bureau all n
announced to check up our accounts,
and after a task Of many days dura-
ton, the accounts checked out to the
last one-cent stamp, and we received
the heartiest compliments for the ex-
cellent systems we have in practice in
the Bureau. Over eleven billions of
stamps were accounted for, and I am
pleased to state that not a single
stamp was misplaced or went astray.
Securities to the value Of over three
billion dollars We're manufactured by
the Bureau during the year 1918, and
to the credit of our honest employees
be 1t said that all of this vast sum was
handled without the loss Of a single
penny or postage stamp to the govern
ment, and none of its faithful toilers
ever engaged in the co~unterfeiting OF
our product.
After sever years labor, we have
perfected a rotary printing press for
the printing Of stamps that will com
pletely revolutionize stamp printing
from the intaglio plates. The new ma
chine, which is expected to be placed
in operation in the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing within the next thirty
days, is the result of the labor and
efforts Of Mr.. Benjamin r. Stickney,
mechanical expert and designer Of the
Bureau.
This press combines twenty-three
operations in one 1t prints, gums and
perforates the stamps; cuts them into
sections of one hundred stamps each,
or will finish the stamps in coils of
five hundred and one thousand stamps
per coil. 1t turns out the finished pro.
duct ready for shipment to the post
masters of our country. BY its use a
saving of sixty-ive per cent or $780,
900 will be effected each year In the
present cost Of printing the stamps.

THE LONGEST WAY AROUND Is
SOMETIMES THE MOST ECO.
NoMICAL WAY HOME IN
RAILROAD BUILDING

The average life of horses and auto
mobiles may be increased and the cost
Of hauling reduced, according to the
Office OF Roads, of the Department of
Agriculture, by relocating many old
roads and the more scientific laying
out Of new ones. The natural ten
dency in road building is to build a
straight road, whether it goes over
steep grades or hills, or not, and pull
ing over these grades naturally adds
to the wear and tear on horses and
vehicles.
The doctrine of the Office Of Roads
is that the longest way around may
often be the shortest and most o
mical way home, and that frequently
by building a highway around a hill
or grade, but little appreciable dis
lance is added and this Is more than
offset by the reduced strain of haul
ing.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point of view is that the lay
ing out of roads on this principle Of
avoiding grades necessitates, in some
cases, running the road through good
farm land or orchards or pastures, in
stead of going around the farm line
and building the road through old
WORKOUT fields and over rocky knobs.
| This, Of course, must raise a question
In the mind of the individual land
owner as to whether the cutting up of
his property by a road yields him In
dividual advantages and SO benefits
his community as to Offset the use OF
such land for a road, or to overcome
the inconvenience of having his land
divided. In this connection the Office
Of Roads points out that the running
Of a road and the resulting traffic
through a good farm, where vegetables
has a certain advertising value and ir
many instances makes the land more
valuable. In other cases, the import
ance of such a level road to the com
munity Is so great that 1t might wei
repay those using the road to give tht
farmer the equivalent in land equally

But that is not all. To smooth the
paper for the operation of cumming, 1t
is subjected to five hundred tons pres
sure in a hydraulic press, and IL very
dry it stretches but very little, but II
the day is damp and humid, 1t
stretches ~perceptible. The contrac-
ton of the gum itself is a factor, and
the atmospheric conditions still an
other. Our p~erforating machines,
have not human intelligence, and they
blindly perforate the sheets alike, until
their adjustment is changed. There
fore the best we can do is to average
the adjustment and 1t is only by
chance that all the ~perforations are
exactly central. OF course. you will
understand that topographic printing
being done on dry paper eliminates
many of these problems, and no great
feat is performed in perfectly center
ing a dry printed stamp.
The amount Of ink required for
printing the stamps for the last fiscal
year was 560,117 pounds.
The present method Of printing
stamps is accomplished upon what is
known as -four plate power presses"
Four plates are used in order that the
operations of mixing, wiping, polishing
and taking the impressions may be
done simultaneously. This press re-
quires the services of a printer to pol
ish the plates, one girl to lay the sheet
in position, and another girl to take 1t
off after printing.
After each two hundred sheets are
printed, they are counted and dried.
To secure a fiat surface for subsequent
operations, they are pressed in a hy-
draulic press.
They are next gummed by passing
beneath a glass roller which is bathed
in a solution of dextrine, (Which forms
the gum, and the sheets are then
carried by grippers through a drying
chamber in which the gum is dried in
less than thirty seconds. Just before
leaving the cumming machine, the
sheets are carried through a device
that breaks the gum into innumerable
cracks and materially prevents subse-
quent curling.
You are aware, no doubt, of the de-
struction by the Bureau Of a large
number of the two-cent Panana-Paci-
fic Commemorative stamps as the re-
suit of an error in the designation OF
same. There were Al, 1854, 800 of these
stamps printed, having a face value Of
1921, 296, yet not a single stamp OF this
series ever left the Bureau. What a
prize one of these stamps would have
been to the collector.
AS the result of a change from the
original design in the fifty-cent parcel
post stamps, 570,SOO of that series
