PLANTATION is due. 1t seems astonish
ing that with $500 ooo. 900 appropriated
for roads, and an unknown NUMBER ol
millions already spent, that little or no
scientific investigation of either the

go to mako up a road has been made.
Mr. Goldbeck. outside OF some lew
tests of vehicle impact ever made.
and has started the study OF subsoils

Ordinary SrohS Lonos
The ordinary static load does not
produce noticeable stress in an S-inch
slab.
Mr.. Goldbeck states in his address
before tho North Atlantic Division OF
the National Highway Traffic Associa-
ton that heavy loads at rest on road
surfaces exert but little effect on sur
faces which for some reason arc 100
soft to bear the load He reports tests
showing that when n wheel Toad OF
$500 pounds is at rest on an s-inch
concrete slab-the fibre stress In ten
sion is only about 81 pounds per square
inch directly under the load, and since
tho modulus OF rupture of the ordinary
concrete road mixture is yell over 100
pounds per square inch 1id possibly
as high as COO pounds per square men
the danger of serious cracking OF the
concrete under static loads is pracuc-
ally nil except at the corners OF the
slabs" Tho maximum load on one
wheel OF tho heaviest cspacity truck
loaded now manufactured is IL, zoo
pounds and the fibre strcss In tension
is only a. pounds per square inch di-

wouid Give Basis for Sound Policy
The selection made, these men could
then sit down and with state officials
could shape a national policy which
would take into account national as
we'll as state needs. Their report to
congress would naturally give us the
basis for the soundest possible nation
al policy and one which would insure
the soundest possible expenditure Of
national funds.
AS for tho carrying on OF tho actual
construction, IT is my belief that tho
work should always have been under
taken by state departments under gov
partmcnts have tho power and ability
to do so. Tho present regional dis
tricts should be retained and every eff
fort made to avoid duplication and
er-lapping. since any upbuildinE of
national construction forces where
state organizations are effective would
defeat the very purposes in mind.
When appointed tho ideal method
which could be set down by congress.
in my judgment. would be statement
leaving the commission as free as pos
sible to arrive at its final recommen-
dation. tho only limitations being that
the members should be required to
consider national needs. Present cN-
perience points to u concentration of
national funds on a selected national
system which should be built and
maintained at government expense,
thus releasing state and county funds,
but this again would be n matter for
careful decision in order that the best
possible road policy might be evolved"

That tho highway question is so i'm
portant that 1t should be made n sep
arato function OF tho government
rather than left in charge of bureau
of a department, was the opinion cS-
pressed recently by Edward 5. Jordan
of tho Highways Committee of the
National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce.
I'm the past few months I have
talked to scores of meetings and
thousands of individuals in many
cities of tho country said Mr.. Jor-
dan, 'and everywhere l find men tax
ing a keen interest in highway prob
lens.
After a careful survey. feel that
the best way to really focus the at
teution of the public on this great
problem, is thru tho creation OF a
Federal Highway Commission. which
should take over the work of the pres
ent Bureau of Public Roads. and say
that without tho slightest criticism OF
tho mon in charge now who arc doing
all they can under tho limitations
of tho present law.
Commission of Fivc
-If n commission of-fivc men, let us
say, could be appointed by the prcsi-
dent with the advice and consent OF
the senate, several results would De
place. highways would be given their
proper place an the most important
single domestic phase of the govern
ments work. Not only would the rec.
ognition be a proper ono, but II would
serve to stimulate interest of students
in college. TO whom We must look for
our future corps of trained men to
handle the vast expenditures now
available and to be made in tho future.
To View Question Nationally
Secondly. we would have a body OF
men in charge of the work whose duty
IT would be to look at the question
from q. national rather than a sectional
viewpoint, altho their selection from
varying geographical ccnters and CO.
operation with state highway depart
ments would insure the latter against
neglect of local conditions.
Again. instead OF tho possibility OF
change in policy SUCH as is always
possible where the administration
changes each four years, wo would
have a continuing policy. as these mon
would be appointed in rotating years.
thus keeping at tho head men con-
stantly Informed as to tho work at

Bicycles arc saving dollars and time

Men and women ride to and from their
places OF employment on their wheels,
and thousands OF boys and girls ride
their bicycles to school and home

1t is not unreasonable to suppose
that each OF these riders saves at least
10 cents a day, or $3.50 n month. or
$3i.20 n year. in street car fares. Tho
almost universal increase in car fares
makes this saving actually much
larger.
