HOW TO GET GOOD ROADS

County roads should be regarded
as system, just as railroad and
all its branches are regarded as a
system. Road districts should be re-
garded as parts of the system, just
as sections of a railroad are regarded
as parts of big system, laid out
merely for advantages in adminiStra-
ton and not as separate entities to
be operated without regard to the
purposes for which the whole system
is designed.
The purpose OF road system is
primarily to enable farmers to get to
town and secondarity to get from one
neighborhood to another, with reason
able ease. If an individual could
have the road to town designed for
his own use and advantage without
having TO consider the preferences or
rights of his neighbors, he would take
the route with the best combination
of short distance and easy grades,
would have the best material availa-
BILE, and would have the road kept in
perfect condition without regard to
cost.
Road building, like everything else, |
involves compromises. The road to |
town must be laid out with the best |
combination of distance, grades, land |
values and damages, material, cost of
maintenance, wealth Of property own
ers, traffic to be accommodated, and
people to be served, taken into ac-
count; and political pandering should
have no part in it. If such system
were followed, we would have main
lines running out from the towns,
highly improved because they would
carry the bulk of the traffic; and con-
Meeting with the main lines would be
branches OF such construction as their
use would justify.
Only by such a plan, and by the
businesslike management of the roads
as a system. and not as isolated dis
tricts with no relation to one an
other and often no excuse for exist
ance other than to give political re-
wards, can we hope to get more than
a beggarly fraction Of our moneys
worth out of the road funds.

Investigations on the dependence of
the earth's temperature on solar
radiation, and the utilization of the
suns heat for practical purposes such
as the solar heater or cooker, and
solar engines.
Sensitive Instrument.
Another unique instrument, greatly
improved at the observatory in recent
years, is the bolometer of Langley, a
very delicate electrical thermometer
tor measuring slight changes in tenn
perature and used in the solar work.
Ibis instrument can now measure a
change in temperature of one hun
dred-millionth O-l00,000,000) of a de-
gree, and DR.. Abbot is making further
improvements so that, it will not only
register a change of a bllionth of a
degree, but it will be ten-fold more
efficient in collecting neat as well. The
instrument is simple in form, being
composed of two very fine platinum
threads so arranged in vacuum,
that radlations allowed to fall on one
increase its resistance over that of
the other, the difference being re-
corded by very delicate galvano-
meter.
Measures Sky Heat.
DR.. Abbot's new instrument known
as the pyranometer, used in taking
measurements of the light, or heat
OF the sky has proven very success
tul, and it is expected that a new
method of determining solar varia-
tons by means of it will be effected.
If successful, this method will enable
many observers, who have been un-
able to undertake expensive and COM
plicated Investigations with the spec
tro-boiometer, to take a part in OBJ
serving the variability of the sun. The
pyranometer NAV also enable botan
lists to study the intensity of the
light in which plants grow, whether
in full sunshine or deep shade.
Last summer, Dr.. Abbot and Mr..
Aldrich occupied the Smithsonian OBJ
serving station on Mount Wilson, Cali
fornia, from June to October, where
they continued the series of observa
tons on solar radiations in order to
follow the variations of the sun. The

able conditions, satisfactory results

DR.. G. G. ABBOT GETS
RUMFORD MEDALS
American Academy Of Arts and
Sciences Confers Honor on
Smithsonian Professor.
STUDIED SOLAR RADIATION

Washington, pec DIR. Charles
G. Abbot, director of the Smithson'
ian astrophysical observatory, has
been presented with the Rumford
medals by the American Academy Of
Arts and Sciences for his researches
in solar radiation.
To receive the Rumford medals is
signal honor. They are awarded
by the academy to American scien-
lists whose discoveries or researches
have greatly advanced our knowledge
OF light or heat Since the establish
ment of these medals by Count Rum
ford in 1876 they have been awarded
to only twenty eight men. Among
theme were Langley, Edison, Corliss
Ericsson, Rowland, Hale, Thomson
and Acheson.
DR.. Abbot has been director OF
the Smithsonian astrophysical OBJ
servatory at Washington since 1907
when he succeeded its founder, Dr.
Samuel Pierpont Langley, late secre-
tary of the Smithsonian institution
DR.. Abbot came to the observatory
in 1895, and has done much to ad-
vance our knowledge of the sun,
especially on the Subject Of the
amount and variability Of the solar
radiation, on which all animal and
plant life on the earth depends.
Value in Heat.
The results obtained by the staff
of the observatory IN Washington, at
sea level; at Bassour, Algeria, three
quarters of a mile above sea level;
on Mount Wilson, California, at the
height of over a mile; on Mount
Whitney, California, three miles high,
and finally by self-registering ap-
paratus of DR.. Abbot's design car
ried by free balloons to over fifteen
miles elevation, show that the aver
age value of the solar constant Of
radiation" is 1882 calories of heat per
square centimeter per minute. That
is to say, when the earth is at the
mean distance from the sun, an OBJ
server outside the atmosphere, on the
moon, for instance, could warm one
gram OF water 1882 degrees cent?
grade each minute by the suns rays
collected over an area of one square
centimeter. Expressed in another
way, the suns rays would suffice to
melt layer of ice 426 feet thick each
year, at the earth's mean distance.
This would indicate that the total
heat emitted by the sun in a year
equals the heat which would be OBJ
tanned by burning 10000, 900, O00,-
00O,0O0OO0 (40O sextillion) tons of an
thracite coal, although only about
four -billionths of this enormous
heat reaches the earth, or the heat Of
100 900 0O0, 100000 tons of coal.
Sun is Star.
A principal result of DR.. Abbot's in
vestigations is the discovery that the
sun is a variable star. In other words,
the heat derived from the sun is not
constant, but changes irregularly
from day to day and from year to
year through range of about 10 per
cent. This may we'll affect climates,
and an expedition to South America
is planned for next year to observe
more fully the solar variation in the
most favorable cloudless region.
For determining the intensity of
solar radiation DR.. Abbot has in
vented several forms OF pyrheliomters
literally, heat-measures. About
thirty OF his instruments are now
used as standards in all parts of the
world. His studies have embraced

Charges Against

Dismissed by Police

i Charges against Wing Tank, alias

Merchants association of Omaha, ar
rested on suspicion on information
received from federal officers in Chi
cago, have been dismissed by Chief
of Detectives Steve Maloney.
Wing Tank had been held since
Tuesday under $500 bonds. He was
arrested when local authorities heard
that two Chinese gun men had been
imported to Omaha presumably to
get" Sam Joe, local restaursnt
owner. Wing was suspected of being
implicated in bringing the two men
to Omaha. ....
No direct evidence against him
could be procured, however, so Ma
loney, after conference with De-
partmentof Justice officials, decided
to dismiss the case.
Sam Joe, fearing for his life, has
employed private detective to keep
a constant guard over him. He has
also applied for permission to cary
firearms for protection.
