DETAILS OF ROAD MAKING.

Construction, Maintenance and Water
ways Are Difficult Problems.
''Of all the factors which go to make
up the perfect macadam road says
Logan Waller Page. there is IN
doubtedly none more potent than that
of the suitability of the material which
enters its construction There are two
ways in which the engineer may avail
himself of the Information necessary
to proper selection of road ml-
terial The first and only certain one
is to make an actual service test on
the material under observation and
under the same conditions of traffic
and climate to which the proposed
road will be subjected. The second
method is by means of short time la
boratory tests to approximate Is near
~ AS possible the destructive
to which the material will be Subject
ed on the road"
A properly designed waterway struc
ture should fulfill the following re
auirements:
Waterway sufficient to carry of
promptly the water coming to it: prop
er foundations to bear the loads. resis
undermining and give long service, sn
perstructure designed to bear for ;

where there are macadamized roads,
for the waste of time and material is
something appalling.
Streets are repaired merely by throw
ing loose Stag or some other material
into the ruts and. instead of finishing
the job by rolling and compacting the
material making it more or less per-
manent the loose material is allowed
to remain. and vehicles passing over
it. instead of compacting the filling,
will cause the particles to grind into
dust which will be carried off either
Ivy the wind or by rapidly moving au-
tomObiles. leaving the street in as bad
condition as before it was repaired
Stag is the one material that not only
10 cheaper as a rule than all other road
bases, but it is available in large guam
titles and Mt all times, regardless Of the
weather The rainy season. has no eff
feet on the shipment of Stag, as is the
case in the rock Quarries and gravel
pits. and by reason of the fact that it
is usually loaded at points where a
number of railroads center cars are
available when such is not the case ut
quarries and grave! pits located exclu-
sively on one line.
The advantages TO be derived from
the use Of Stag in building highways
may be analysed as follows:
1t is a natural cement rock.
1t will cement together if properly
| compressed by wetting an6 rolling.
1t is. as a rule. vastly cheaper than
any other road material
1t is available in large guam titles and
at all times, regardless OF weather con
| ditions.
1t is an imperyious material.
1t Is considerably lighter in weight
than stone or gravel, consequently q
| great saving in freight is effected
| where distances are equal.

TO EXHIBIT ROAD MODELS.
Collection to Be on View at Panama
Pacific Exposition.

Collection to Be on View at Panama
Pacific Exposition.
Arrangements are to be made by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, through Logan Waller Page. di-
rector of the office of public roads, to
place on exhibition at the Panama-Pa-
cifc exposition in 1915 the greatest
collection of road models ever display
ed in any part of the world. The mod
els will furnish exact duplicates. of the
old Roman roads. French roads and all
of the various types of modern roads,
together with miniature models of road
machinery operated by electricity.
The office of public roads made an
exhibit of road models for the first
time at the Alaska Yukon-Pacific ex-
position. The aim was to put on view
such striking examples in miniature
of road models that visitors would not
only appreciate the beneficent effects
of improved highways. but would. a,
the same time, be able to understand
the methods of their construction.
Since the Alaska Yukon-Pacific ex
position closed. the exhibit has beer
displayed ut numerous other exposi
tions and fairs in many parts of the
country and in South America and Eu
rope In the meantime. the collection
has been greatly augmented until ev
| cry single type of road is now repre-
| scented and every known device uset
| in the making of roads has been re
| produced in miniature.
The models have also been displayed
on road trains at all important place
along the route Of the Pennsylvani;
| railroad in the state of Pennsylvania
| the entire system of the Southern rail
way, the Frisco lines. the Atianti
/ Coast line and the Nashville, Chatta
nooga and ST. Louis railway.
i As result of the instruction furnish
ed by these road models many farmer
have joined forces to improve thei
own highways. and the road buildin
movement has had a great impetu:
When application for expert advic
concerning any special road probler
is made to the department the offic

Erich and is said to consist of a mix
ture of broken stone about the size of a

binding material whose composition is
not divulged by the inventor, In the
present process the stone is heated at
first from 100 to $50 degrees C. and
mixed at this temperature with the
melted composition When in use the
mass is remelted in order to put it on

BOOMING BETTER ROADS.

We should have another de-
claration Of independence and de-
clare ourselves independent OF
American mud.
Ignorance never initiated any
good movement. and its twin
sister, prejudice. has retarded
many.
The tax we bear for bad roads
is infinitely higher than that we
would pay for good roads.
1t is astonishing what burdens
we will bear when we bear them
, ienoraHtiy. Let the light in on
the mud tax.
Politics is supposed to be the
science of government. but in
} some states it is trying to steal
the road funds.
National highways and good
, roads everywhere-if you don't
get them it is your own fault.
, We need uniform road legisla-

FLAGS FOR ROAD PATROL.
European Plan Adopted to Keep High
way Repairers at Work.

way Repairers at Work
Eight hundred white flags inscribed
rs. II. D. Patrol are flying on the
highways of New York state. marking
the places where the men engaged in
repairing roads are at work. according
to plan of Commissioner of High
ways John N. Carlisle. Many COM
plants have been made regarding the
failure of patrolmen to care properl,
for the highways. and under the new
plan Commissioner Carlisle hopes t.
make the patro! service more effective.
The flag system has been adopted
from the European countries, where
the maintenance Of highways has be.
come more of an exact science than it
is in America. The display of the little
white flags along the highways abroad
has had the effect. Commissioner Car
Isle says. of making patrolmen more
efficient. as the failure on the part Of
the citizens of those countries to see
the flags usually is reported to head
quarters.
