HEAVY STRAIN ON HIGHWAYS
Roads That Stand Traffic in Normal
Times Now Called Upon to With
stand Motortrucks.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Apparently the point has been
reached where the demands Of traffic
have exceeded the strength of the
average road to meet them. High
ways designed to withstand the
pounding of ordinary loads, that have
stood up under imposts they were in
tended to sustain, no longer appear
to be adequate to meet the present
day conditions. Congestion on our
railways, possibly more acute in some
sections than in others, has put upon
our roads a transportation burden new
er expected and consequently not pro-
vided for by the engineers who design
ed the highway systems of the states.
Roads have been designed with the
same care as given to other structures
and with the same regard for the pur-
poses for which they were constructed
and the burdens they were called upon
to bear. Widespread failure is DEM
onstrative of the fact that roads can
not carry unlimited loading. Their ca
pacity is limited. II it is exceeded
habitually and constantly, then they
cannot survive.
The products of our farms and of
our factories must be moved. The
wants of our urban jewellers must be
met. But the needs of our country in
VOWED in this great conflict are para
mount to the needs of single communi-
ties, and thus when avalanches of
freight destined to fill the greater ne
cessity made imperative the partial
closing of our vast system of rail trans
portation to the smaller, the relief ap-
peared to be in the motortruck and the
highway. Single light units expanded

TAKE UP PEACE WORK
Great Britain Ready for Indus

Huge Munitions Plants Prepared for
Switch to Peace-Time
Operations.

acknowledgement has her plans all
laid for the great Industrial change
over.
There are about 5000 large concerns
which have been engaged in munitions
work.
These factories have been prepar-
ing for months for the "quiclS change"
and are ready to switch to peace-time
operations Immediately.
Munitions Is by no means the only
branch of industry where sharp read
justments will be necessary. But the
same statement of preparedness holds
true generally.
The ministry of reconstruction,
which has been operating for more
than a year, and which has made an
extensive survey of the Industrial
problem, has aided manufacturers
who have been engaged on war work
in the preparations for the advent of
peace. And it has worked out plans
for converting many gOvernment-Op-
Grated plants into production of ma
terials which will be sorely needed.
IO STU" IOW SAttuSlNcly
try has worked, 20 subcommittee Of
experts have completely surveyed as
many parts of the neighboring field
and have drawn up plans for the
change over, which have been placed
at the disposal of the industrial chiefs.
Decentralization plans have been
given careful study, and, while the of
fetal report has not yet been issued,
1t is known that it provides for dis
banding by the needs of different
trades, and not by military units. Men
with large families will also be re-
leased early.
The ministry of reconstruction has
dwelt particularly on the possibility
of development of industries making
articles formerly imported from Ger
many-such as electrical apparatus,
hardware, stamped metal and tele.
phone apparatus.
And 1t is fatty stated that "Britain
is going to make a lot more of these
things for herself after the war"

PROTECT ROADS IN WINTER
Water and Not Cold Is Cause of In
jury to Highways, Even Those Of
Best Construction.

The department of agriculture calls
attention to the fact that water and
not cold is the cause of injury to roads
in winter, even those of the best con-
struction. 1t is obvious, therefore, that
1t is matter of economy, from every
point of view, that roads should be as
dry as possible when winter comes on.
During the fall the road should be
carefully gone over and all ruts and
hollows that can hold water solidly
filed In to make the Gambler of the
road surface such that it will drain
quickly and thoroughly. Standing
pools at the side of the road should
also be drained, as they tend to soak
and soften the foundations of the road,
which may result in bad ,"heaving''
when freeze comes.

Motortruck With Load of Farm
Produce.

Into great fleets, then grew into heav-
Ter units that, in turn, developed into
long trains. From horse-drawn We
hicles with concentrated loads of prob
ably three tons at most, travelling at
the rate Of four miles an hour, sprung
almost overnight the heavy motortruck
with concentrated load of from eight
to IL tons, laundering along at a
speed of 20 miles an hour. The result?
The worn and broken threads that bind
our communities together. The solu-
ton? That is the problem that con-
fronts the men who will be called up
on to meet the ever-growing demands
upon our highways and to devise reg
ulations fair to those who pay for their
construction and to those who pay for
their use.

UTILIZING WASTE.

Two striking illustrations of the
manner in which large industries
are learning to utilize waste mate
rails are to be found in the activities
of large beet-sugar concern. The
beet pulp which formerly was
thrown away is now made into an
excellent cattle food, the net re-
ceipts from which in the last year
were sufficient to pay the dividend
on the preferred stock Of the COM
pany.
AT a cost of $l23,0OO a plant has
been erected which is to extract pot
ash, ammonia, etc, from the water
heretofore allowed to flow INTO the
ocean as waste. 1t is expected the
plant will pay for itself the first
year.

RALEIGH'S TOMB NOT KNOWN
Considerable Uncertainty as to
Where Body of Great EngIishman
Was Finally Laid.

English newspapers have been en-
gagged in a controversy as to the
location of the burial place of Sir
Walter Raleigh in connection with
the celebration of the three hun
dredth anniversary of his birth. BIZ
ographers of Raleigh supposed that,
after his execution, the body was
buried in the chancel of st. Mar
garet's.
The London Times, however, sug-
gests that his body was placed there
for short time only, and that RAJ
leigh really was buried at Bedding
ton, in Surrey, where the widow de-
sired that he should rest. Raleigh's
head was embalmed and cherished
by his widow in a "red leathern
bagge" to the day of her death. The
head was afterward inferred in the
church at West Horsley, in Surrey.

The relocation of old roads seems to

to SO many taxpayers that the Penn

ditiOns. This model measures six by
five feet and was made by a specialist
in such work at Washington. 1t is in
relief, with roads, fields, houses, trees
and other features of the landscape re-
produced to a correct scale. On it are
shown three types of poorly located
roads frequently found and the proper
method of relocating each so as to pro-
vide satisfactory grades and connect
the terminal points in the most direct
manner. The model also shows three
types of road construction.

PHONETIC WRITING IN CHINA

China has adopted a system Of
phonetic writing which lie expected
to revolutionize elementary edua,

Gently by Edwin G. Lobenstine, who
has been in conference with Yale
in-China home office. The system,
invented by the Chinese themselves
and approved of by the government
board of education at Peking, con-
sists of only 80 symbols.
Experiments made with hundreds
of individuals have conclusively
shown that an adult illterate, man
or woman, can learn to read by the
use of system of this kind in three
