ROAD ADVOCATES ACTIVE

To many of the forty-two state legis-
latures now in session the preliminary
report of the legislative committee of
the American American Highway Asso-
citation should prove most helpful. The
committee has already, in cooperation
with the U. S. Office of Public Roads,
complied the road laws of each state in
the union with absolute completeness to
January l, 1915, and has practically
completed ready reference index so
that the great mass of material COM
piled can be easily consulted for pur-
poses of revision.
The committee is rapidly formulating
the basic outlines for efficient road laws
covering the various branches of state
i and county activity relating to highway
construction and maintenance. Through
Fairfax Harrison, president of the asso-
citation, the committee has advised the
governor of each state that the COM
mittee stand ready to place its data be-
fore the state legislators and to ar
range for specialists on this subject
to confer with state officials and legis-
lative bodies which now have under
consideration the framing of road
laws. At the present time only seven
states have no highway departments
Thirty states now make direct appro-
priations of state funds in aid of road
construction or maintenance so that al
ready great progress has been made.
The problems now most pressing are
those relating to the construction, main
tenance and control of local roads and
bridges.
The American Highway Association,
in devoting large part of its efforts
and funds to the work of the legislative
committe, is proceeding on the theory
that as all construction, maintenance,
financing and management of the public
roads must be governed by legislative
enactment, the real reform must begin
with the state legislatures.
The personnel of the legislative COM
mittee is such as to bring to the work
the various kinds of experience and
knowledge essential to an adequate
handling of the subject, Serving on the
committee, are Walton Moore, lawyer
of national repute; A. N. Johnson, Chief
Engineer of the Bureau of Municipal
Research; Charles j. Bennett, State
Highway Commissioner of Connecticut,
and J. E. Pennypacker, Chief of Road
Economies of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.

UNCLE SAM MAKING GLASSES

[ WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The glass
Esed in this country for the manufac-
ire of lenses is practically all imported
Except in the case of some of the small
r and cheaper lenses. For several
tears past, the Bureau of Standard, of
the Department of Commerce, has
been endeavoring to persuade the glass
manufacturers of the United States to
take up the manufacture of this ma
terial, but they have been unable to do
so, partly because of the limited quan-
tity used as compared with other glass
but largely on account of the varying
composition required and the difficulty
of annealing the glass, as good optical
glass must be entirely free from strain.
With view to working out some of
the underlying problems sufficiently to
enable manufacturers to start in this
matter, the bureau secured two years
ago an expert interested in the COM
position and testing of optical systems,
and little later secured another man
skilled in the working Of glass to the
definite forms required by the theory.
The steps were taken first, partly be-
cause it is exceedingly difficult to find
men having these qualifications, but
principally because as the work of
experimental glass making progresses,
the glass must be put in the form of
lenses and prisms to test; in other
words, the bureau had to be in a posi-
tion to examine the product as it was
made experimentally.
In July, 1914, apractical glass maker
was added to the force of the bureau.
He is a college graduate of scientific
training, but skilled in the manipulation
of furnaces, and is the sort of a man
to make progress at the present stage
of the work.
