REMEDY FOR PAVING HORSES
Annoying Habit May Be Cured by
Fastening Chain to Animals Leg
Acts as Chain Switch.

A horse that has the habit OF paw
ing. especially at night, is most an
noying. II is also bad for the horsp's
feet II he is paving all the time. To
stop this. take a strong strap with a
buckle on II. also or 10 inches Of
heavy chain. Put the strap around
the horses leg above the knee so
the chain will hang down in front Of
the knee.
This device acts as a chain switch
and will cure the horse OF the paving
habit. II also keeps a horse from
running In rough pastures.--Farm and

W Two years Service.
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Concrete roads have shown a
marked increase in popularity during
the past five years, according to the
bodybuilding specialists of the U. s.
department of agriculture. In 1909
there were $4,000 square yards of
such roads in the United States, while
for 1914, the amount Is estimated as
100000 square yards.
The durability OF concrete roads has
not been proved by actual practice be-
cause there are no very old pavements
as yet In existence but from the eondi-
lion OF those which have undergone
several years service. 1t seems prob
able that they will be found to wear
well.
The principal advantages OF con-
crete pavements which have led to
their increased popularity are:
Durability under ordinary traffic
conditions
A smooth. even surface offering lit
tie resistance.
Absence of dust and ease with
which it may be cleaned.
Comparatively small cost of main
tenance until renewals are necessary.
Availability as a base for another
.yPa of surface If desirable.
Attractive appearance.
On the other hand. concrete as a
road surface is noisy under horse
$50 &c, and has . tendency to cracS.
Unless these cracks are cared for at
Qnce, thty load - rapid deterioration
Of the adjacent pavement and finally
require difficult repair work.
In the past efforts have frequently
been made to overcome these objec-
tons to a certain degree by covering
the concrete pavement with bitumi
nous wearing surface. At the pres
emit time. the specialists in the de-
ment of agriculture hold that this
cannot be economically justified, al
though 1t is possible that future inves-
tigation may change the situation in
this respect. In the present state OF
road science, however, 1t seems that
where traffic conditions are such that
a bituminous surface on a concrete
road is practicable, bituminous sur
face macadam road would be equally
and certainly cheaper.
Where traffic which is too heavy for
macadam road uses a bituminous con-
crete road. the bituminous surface is
likely to give way and the uneven |
manner In which II fails tends to pro |
duce excessive wear on portions OF |
the concrete. For a successful con.
crete road, hardness. toughness. and |

The Naval History Section.

OF particular interest at this time,
when preparedness is the allabsorbing
theme of public discussion, will be the
session of the Historical Association
and the Naval History Association,
which will be held in the New Willard
Hotel Friday morning. Here Capt.
Robert l. Rees, u. S. A, will point out
the lessons to be learned from the dis
astrous battle at Bladensburg. a CEN
tury ago. Presumably he will show
how much dependence can be placed
upon the unframed volunteers, who,
brave enough but wholly without train
ing, spring up to repel the invader. At
the same session Prof. Carl r. Fish of
the University of Wisconsin will de-
scribe the organization Of the Wiscon-
sin volunteers during the civil war.
while Rear Admiral French Ensor
Chadwick. U. S. N, retired, will de-
scribe the newly discovered papers of
De Grasse. the French admiral, of the
American revolution, and will point out
how sea power played a decisive part
in our struggle for separate national
existence.
While most of the sessions described
above deal with European or general
history, American history has been by
no means neglected. On Tuesday morn
ing. in the New Willard. there will be
a session, presided over by Prof. Thorn
as w. Page of the University of Vir-
history. Miss Frances C. Davenport of
the Carnegie Institution of Washington,
who has spent several years in careful
Investigations in European archives,
will talk on America and European di-
plomacy.

come most to the front during the last
year and a half has been with regard
to the various aspects of nationalism.
Many have said that the war has been
caused by mistaken sense of patriot
ism. Why, 1t is asked, should we be
national rather than international?
Thursday morning, at a Session in the
New Willard Hotel, Prof. James Har-
vey Robinson. who is recognized as one
of the most brilliant lecturers in
American universities. will present a
paper dealing with the historical as
poets of nationalism. In what does
the spirit of nationalism take it's root?
How is it affected by factors of Ian
guage, of religion, of race? Prof. Rob-
inson's paper will be followed by a dis
cussion which will be participated in
William E. -Lingelbach, Prof. William
T. Laprade. Prof. Ellery c. Stowell and
Prof Thomas F. Moran.
Another session. to be held at the
Hotel Shoreham Friday morning, will
be devoted to the consideration of ma
tionalism in the British empire. One
of the apparently contradictory phe-
nomena of modern politics is the
growth of strong national feeling in
the various units that compose the
British empire along with the growth
of enthusiasm for the empire itself.
Prof. Wrong of the University of To-
ronto and A. Maurice Low of Washing
ton. the London correspondent, will
sion. Their observations will be dis
cussed by Prof. George B. Adams of
Yale University and Prof. George L.

The sessions which the American His
torical Association is to hold are. open
TO the public. which is cordially In
vited to attend them.
The American Historical Association
was organized in 1884. 1t was incor
porated by Congress in 1889 and its an
nual reports were given the status of
public documents, while its principal
office was required by law to be located
in Washington. Thus it is peculiarly
a national and representative society.
Its services in the cause OF American
history and in the study of history in
America are we'll known. When one
remembers that in 1884 a college pro-
teaching history was a rarity, it will
readily. be seen what advance has been
made during the last thirty years.
Among the presidents and leaders of
the association have been many who
are well known figures in the National
Capital. Three of them have been not
ed diplomats-George Bancroft, An
drew d. White and James B. Angel
two have been Presidents OF the United
Standardization B. Hayes and Theo-
dore Roosevelt. One Of the presidents
is believed by many to have furnished
the inspiration for the building of the
German imperial navy, the late Ad-
miral Alfred T. Mahan.
