caused number of changes along the

the last of those who were forced to
go elsewhere to get back it's show

But few changes in proprietorship
have occurred along the street during
the last two years. and no sooner had

Mr.. Diehl's Comments.

Mr.. Diehl thus comments on the up
to-date highways problem:
There will never be a time when all
roads are of equal durability and car
rying capacity. Highways and rail-
roads are analogous. in that they are
both designed to carry traffic and
general rules which have been devel-
oped through scientific management
Of railroads apply as wei almost in
variab bly, to highways. The heaviest
locomotives and rolling stock are car
ried on roads like the New York Gen.
trail and Pennsylvania and Union Pa
cifc. Their use over lighter con-
structed railroads would ruin the
roads in a comparatively brief pc
Rod.

PROBLEM OF THE FUTURE

Freight roads and passenger roads

George c. Diehl of the A. A. A. good
roads board. who has sent a COM
munication to this effect to the office
of the chief of engineers of the War
Department, in response to a COM
munication from Gen. w. NJ Black.

Classification Needed.

There must come a classification of
highways. Over class L the heaviest
motor trucks and trailers would be
permitted; each truck should have
large figures conspicuously placed on
the sides to indicate the total weight
that it was permitted to carry; oper-
ators and owners of the trucks should
be prosecuted for using the heaviest
trucks on roads designed for lighter
traffic. 1t would be comparatively
simple to enforce such provisions, as
there seems to lie nc defense CT the
proposition of permitting one or two
heavy trucks to ruin an investment
of many thousand dollars on the
lighter constructed highways.
AT road intersections the highway
capacity could be indicated as the
highway department should, / believe,
have traffic department under a
chief traffic engigneer. having to do
not with construction and mainte-
nance, but merely with the control of
traffic. 1t is extremely likely that it
would result ultimately in system
of freight roads and passenger roads,
and that wider and parallel roads
nomical method of laying out the
highway system. 80
Heavy Construction Discussed.
1T is impossible to lay out all roads
of the heavy form of construction; in
the first place, the money is not avail
able, and, secondly. too many years
would e1apse before the more sparse
ly settled sections of the country were
developed. 1t would not be at all diff
ficult to break bulk when leaving the
heavy traffic roads. and in a compare
lively brief time an excellent theory
of highway construction would be de-
veoped whereby each locality would
be able to determine the amount it
was feasible for them to expend on
each mile of highway construction"

sistants some fifty officers, physi
cal directors and high school instruc
tors. Under this organization, the
camp runs with the smoothness OF
a regular army establishment.
The health of the cadets at Camp
Roosevelt is fully safeguarded and
no accidents have occurred during
the progress of the camp, thus far
Camp Roosevelt is not a profit
making institution. Each cadet pays
$1.O0 per day for military and ply
sical instruction, housing, equipment
and board. The deficit in the cost
is being made up by a committee of
patriotic Chicago citizens who are
interested in military training for
boys during the school ages
The second two weeks period of
the camp is just now beginning and
new cadets are being enrolled Ex-
ecutive headquarters at q N. La
Sale street report that the outside
enrolment is constantly increasing.
The camp will continue until Sep
tember l and cadets can enter at
any time for stay of two weeks or
longer.

Entire Nation Represented; Boys
Get Benefits of Military
Training.

Muskegon, Mich, July 26.-More
than fifteen hundred loyS from all
parts of the county, a-e enrolled at
Camp Roosevelt, the militaryphy-
sical training encampment on Lake
Michigan near this city. The first
two weeks period of training has
conclusively demonstrated the prac-
tical nature of the plan of training
for the boys who shambled into
camp a fortnight ago have been
transformed into we'll drilled, well
disciplined boys with the snappy,
military appearance of overseas vet
Grams. In addition to their military
training, the boys have also re
ceived a thorough course in physi-
cal training and some two hundred
have also been busily engaged in
high school subjects at the summer
school which is being conducted in
connection with the camp.
Camp Roosevelt is the first camp
of it's kind in America Ii was es-
tablished by the Chicago Board of
Education, with the sanction and ap-
proval of the war department, as a
field training point for the boys who
are taking military work as a part
of their high school course. The
outside demand was so great, how
ever, that the original plan was
broadened, making Camp Roosevelt
an all-American establishment.
The Camp Roosevelters are kept
busy from reveille to taps with a
program which is a happy combina-
tion of military drill, physical ex-
ercise and recreative pastimes.
Strict military discipline prevails and
every minute of each boys time is
fully accounted for. There is no
truancy.

officer in the military department of
