SOME FIGURES OF THE
USE OF GOOD ROADS

:. "A energetic and influential organization on the Pacific coast,
oapiornla State Automobile association, has carried II some
Investigations affording definite figures Of the value of good roads.
~ secured the help of Prof. j. B. Davidson, OF the University of Cali
1ornla, u Austin b. Fletcher, state highway engineer, in carrying on
. large NUMBER OF tests OF the pull required to move a standard farm
wagon loaded to make the gross weight 5000 pounds. This wagon
was hauled IN some cases by a two-ton truck and in other cases by a
have shown that Il pull of ~ to 80 pounds per ton of gross load was
needed to haul the wagon o n unsurfaced concrete roads. When the
concrete was surfaced with oil and screenings, the pull was increased
u about oO pounds. About 65 pounds were needed for hauling on
waterbound macadam and bituminous concrete laid o top of e
ment concrete. On good gravel roads a pull of 65 to so pounds was
needed, while on loose grave the pull was 263 pounds, the highest
record in any OF the tests. About 80 pounds were required for hauling
on blturn1nous macadam.. On earth roads 80 pounds We're required for
haullng over a good surface covered with ~ inches of loose dust. 80
pounds over an ordinary dirt road with dust two inches deep i'm places
and 2S pounds over a muddy earth road.
The significance of these figures lies in the fact that IN a good
earth road it is necessary to exert three times the pull that is required
road. Furthermore, when the earth road becomes muddy, a condition
which does not affect traffic On good pavements, the pull is than
doubled.
Eliminating the rainy season mud, which is as certain as the
tides, there is yet to be considered the question of footing for horses.
They cannot pull three times a much on a paved road as On a good
dirt road, because they cannot dig into the ground. However, a team
can mosey on a paved road, with a good load, and can but walk with a
load on the dirt.
The general weight of these findings is in favor of truck hauling
On paved roads. 1t argues that one man can accomplish as much as
three, and On the whole at less expense, for trucks do not require the
station and returning with an empty wagon is a big bill of expense to
farmers.
When this is admitted it yet remains that trucks for hauling,
which may yet run on paved country thoroughfares and be offered to
the farmers o contract. will come in as slowly as tractors tire coming
In. This is a conservative old world.

book for 1917. being the sixth issue. Its
contents reveal 2 wide field Of constantly
striking difference between the work of
this organization and that of all other So
called peace societies. The endowment
is in fact an educational. scientific and
economic research institution. working
along the lines of a better understanding
OF the problems of international relations.
and a wider diffusion of the fundamental
principles OF International law, upon the
recognition and development of which the
future peace of the civilized world de-

So far from being put out of business
by the devastating war in which the
democracies of the world are now allied
for the defeat of the autocracies of CEN

scheme to dominate modern civilization On
the basis of militarism. the trustees of the
endowment see in existing conditions an
opportunity to reconstruct the interna-

ner stones of which will be international

haps without full realisation by the pub
lie of the size of the achievement.
Everyone knew that in case of war the
United States would be able to raise a
large army. But where were the officers
to be found? Where were tn. men skilled
In military science who could train the
raw recruits?
Three months ago there was Il shortage
OF officers. even in the regular army, then
Of insignificant size. Within the last few
days 5000 well trained young officers
have been commissioned. Within the next
three months at least 1900 more will be
added. There will be enough officers for
the new national army.
The general staff has great faith in the
stamina. character and ability Of the new
officers trained in record bfeaking time.
For three months these highly intelligent
young Americans. many of them having
previous training III military colleges. were
drilled under pressure in the science of
war. 1t was intensive training and for
the work required of them the officers
are now we'll qualified.
The camps for the training of the Off
GERS were ready on time. The stiff sched-
ule laid dow at the beginning was fol-
lowed vigorously. The officers in charge
of this difficult organizing task disposed
of it in a manner that reflects the great
est credit on the military authorities of
the United States.
