LEGATION on THE Design Of Public
Roads" by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
The publication emphasizes the
necessity of giving the greatest con-
sideration to all local factors in road
construction. In order to furnish the
kind of roads that community wants
and to furnish them with the least
possible drain on the public treasury,
the person who designs them must be
thoroughly familiar with local condi-
tons and must possess the Judgment
necessary to weigh the Importance Of
all considerations. The publication
makes no attempt to state definite and
exact rules for designing roads to
suit every locality but takes up sep
arately the important features of the
problem with a view to showing the
variations in current practice and the
influence Of some special conditions
with regard to each feature.
In order to select the type of sur
face best adapted TO the need of a
particular road, it is necessary to con-
slider first, the class of traffic 20
which the road will be subjected, and
second, to compare the estimated ulti-
mate cost Of the different surface
isfactorily caring for that particular
class Of traffic. The number of roads
| for which accurate traffic and eff
cheney records have been kept is said
| to be insufficient to warrant definite
conclusions as to the best type for
any particular class of traffic, but the
following summary is said to contain
about as definite information on this
point as can be drawn from available
records.
la Earth roads, when properly
maintained, are satisfactory in dry
weather for light volume of all
kinds of highway traffic.
(b) Sand-clay roads are the same
as earth roads, except that the sur
facing material has been selected care
fully with a view to increasing the
stability Of the surface in both wet
and dry weather. They are satisfac-
tory for moderate traffic Of horse
drawn vehicles and light traffic Of
automobiles. They seldom are salts

heavy trucks unless the roadbed ma

horse-drawn vehicles, a light traffic
of automobiles, and light traffic of
heavy trucks.
(d) Water-bound macadam roads
are adapted to the same general char
acter of traffic as gravel roads.
(e) Surface-treated macadam roads
are adapted especially for q heavy
traffic Of automobiles. They also are
satisfactory for light traffic Of
horse-drawn vehicles and heavy
trucks. In all cases they require con-
slant maintenance.
(f) Bituminous roads are suitable
for heavy traffic of both automobiles
and horse-drawn vehicles and a mod
crate traffic of heavy trucks.
(g) Concrete roads are adapted to
the same general class Of traffic as
bituminous roads, and generally are
capable of withstanding the traffic Of
somewhat heavier vehicles without in
jury.
(h) Brick roads are adapted to the
same general class of traffic as con-
crete roads. Either brick or concrete
roads, however, may be economical
for only moderate traffic where other
bodybuilding materials are scarce.

Washington Sept. 27.-Spanish in-
fluenza, sweeping through all but
thirteen Of the army camps and ap-
parently beyond control of the local
authorities in many eastern comnu-
mites has caused tremendous in
crease in the death rate Of the army
at home.
For the week ending Sept. 20 the
surgeon generals office reported to-
day, the death rate was IA percent
compared with 2.S percent the pre-
ceding week. This increase was at
tributed in large measure to influ-
enza but the report pointed out that
the figures do not show the serious
ness Of the situation as since last
Friday there has been a further rap
Id spread of the epidemic with many
deaths.
While the epidemic heretofore has
been prevalent chiefly near the At
lantic seaboard the surgeon generals
office said it may be expected to
sweep westward with a still greater
increase in mortality in the next
few weeks. Orders issued last
night by Provost Marshal General
Crowder cancelling calls for entrain-
ment Of i42,000 draft registrants be-
tween Oct, and II were due to
the serious conditions in many
camps and were said by health Of
ficfals to be absolutely necessary at
this time. Unless the disease OBJ
tains an unexpected foothold in Sec
ttons not previously affected how
ever, 1t is believed that the next
fe wdays show a decided improve
few days will show an improve
conditions. Continuation of rain ana
cold in New England is regarded as
extremely detrimental to the effort
to subdue the epidemic there.

THE AIRPLANE, MIDDLE

It is hoped that the proposed investiga- tion of the aircraft situation by the senate military committee will be thorough, and if there has been anything savoring ot graft or deliberate perversion of funds for the pur- pose of defeating the aerial program of the United States the responsible party or parties should be punished to the extent of the law It IS, however, entirely possible that the in vestigation will disclose that the charges which are being bandied o1 incompetency and worse are untounded.
 The review made last month by the Wal department ot the aerial program indicate that good progress has been made in some lines, and accounts of difficulties to be over come contained in the review may throw some | light upon the non-production ot American battleplanes.
 In the first place, there has been an er- roneous impression conveyed as to the ease with which America should be able to place an enormous fleet of battleplanes in France. The average newspaper reader in the United States has formed strong impression that the allied armies on the western front are using tens of thousands of planes every day. As matter of record neither side on the western front has been able, on a given day, to place more than 2,5OO airplanes in the air. thousand planes in France" takes on highly Icxaggerated nature.

UNALLOYED PATRIOTISM


 liberty Loan drive in this district speak for themselves. The oversubscriptions, four times as large as the quota asked for, tell the story of how willingly Interior Alaska is supporting the government in its war program.
 From the first day of the drive until the closing hour there was no let-up in the cam paign. Locally there was more intense in tcrest displayed in the result than any other campaign of former issues. In fact, the in tcrest in the outcome held equal place with the war news of each day.
 The credit for the great success achieved does not belong to any one section or com munity. Each and every town and district has done its full share, without advertising 4,9OO,OO people; the Ruthenes, with 3,5OO,OOO, the fear that these provinces wocld revolt of ot whom the credit for subscriptions would or seeking self-interest There was no thought of to whom the credit for subscriptions would go. The honor which comes to the district comes to all alike Only by the united ei forts of each and every community and set tlcmeit was it possible to secure such large oversubscriptions The Honor Flag which is awarded and the additional stars represent. ing the oversubscription are the property of the entire district, and Fairbanks deems it an honor to be the banking center of dis 1rict capable of such generous response.
 This Flag js given to the people of thc district as {. tangible mark of the govern lnent's appreciation of their patriotic offer. It is a reward for excellent service, and as such should be treasured by each one of the subscribers who made its Attainment possible
 The patriotism which prompted the un- usually large subscription is untainted with any hope of personal gain on the part of the people of this district. They have cheerfully subscribed to these bonds knowing that in the expenditure of the funds no part of them can be directed here In the States, where war work is under full head, there are few sections which are not getting the benefits therefrom. In this country it is different Situated as we are, it is realized that the government has no way of placing war or ders and supporting an industry through .wlnch the money subscribed can again be placed in circulation
 The per capita subscription in the district is well above the average for the country. The total is larger than was to have been hoped for under existing circumstances. This has been achieved by more or less personal sacrifices on the part of all the people, and these sacrifices have been prompted solely from a heartfelt desire to be of all possible aid to the nation at war. The patriotism dis played in the Third Liberty Loan campaign is a spirit which will live and grow and unite the people of Interior Alaska as no other thing could do
