The rigor OF discipline ut West Point
does not leave. behind many memories
Of halcyon college days. There are no
week end larlls, for, constantly under
the surveillance Of the officers, the ca
dets are never permitted TO leave eT
cept under military orders. If they
ride to the adjoining town. Highland
Falls they must not disnount or let
their feet touch any soil outside the
reservation.
How severe the system of regulating
the standard Of the several cadets Is
may be learned from the fact that
some $4,000 acts Of each appolntee are
"inarked" during his four years course.

good or given one or more demerits.

the summit terrace. Silently and in
perfect time and order the cadets
change formation and file into IT,

pnblic roads Logan Waller Page, di-
rector of the office of public roads of
the department of agriculture, has been
making scientific tests to determine
uhat materials should be put into the
roads designed to meet different kinds
Of traffic. 1t has been found that more
than 100000 day is spent on con-
struction of roads, No estimate is made
Of the portion of these funds that is
wasted, but it is believed to mount into
the millions.
Efforts are being made to teach the
country that the expenditure of large
sums of money on certain types Of
roads may result almost in total waste.
A road built Of materials which would
be ideal in one locality may not serve
the purpose elsewhere, and the money
expended may bring scarcely any re-
suit in reducing the cost Of hauling or
making it easier for the farmer to get
to the shipping point with his crops.
To aid the farmers who want to build
their own roads and assist communities
that desire to improve roads near by,
the office of public roads of the depart.
ment Of agriculture has employed ex-
perts to test all materials and study
their usefulness on roads subjected to
certain traffic conditions The office
of public roads is acting in an advisory
capacity TO many states and counties,
giving practical form Of national aid.
On roads where there is heavy traffic
it has been found that certain kinds of
materials are better than others and
that while one kind of binder may not
serve the purpose, another kind pre-
serves the road indefinitely. Millions
of dollars doubtless have been wasted
because Of the absence of the scientific
knowledge.
"There are two ways in which the
engineer may avail himself Of the in
formation necessary to proper selec-
tion of road material" says Director
Page. "The only certain one is to
make an actual service test on the ma
terial under observation and under the
same conditions Of traffic and climate
to which the proposed road will be sub
jected. This method is impractical ex-
cept in rare instances. due to the lapse
of time before definite results can be
obtained. The second method is, by
means of short time laboratory tests,
to approximate the destructive agencies
TO which the material will be subjected
On the road, supplementing this knowl-
edge by study Of the results obtained
in practice on material Of similar ma
ture"
