Immense Blocks Of Granite In Feoera'
Structure at Washington--others
In Old Temples.

Some of the blocks Of granite USED
IN the construction Of the treasury
building at Washington are the largest
ever moved in this country, and they
were carried from the eastern part
Of Maine. They were transported 10
washington by water, and after their
arrival there moved by empower, a
sort of double pulley system, a dis
lance of two miles to the spot where
they were wanted for use.
The work of moving them was per-
formed with comparative ease, not
more than eight or ten yoke Of oxen
being employed to move a block weigh
ing more than 20 tons. The futed pill
lars, a great number OF which are
nsed in the building, are 40 feet long,
and weigh 80 tons at. least Inc
largest blocks, 80 to 40 feet square, and
three feet thick, weighed upward o.

ROAD SAFETY LAWS FAVORED
Highway Accidents Could Be Greatly
Decreased by Requiring Mirror
on Trucks.

Accidents on the highways, accord
ing to NJ. V. Eldridge, road director of
the American Automobile association,
could be greatly decreased by the pas
sage of uniform state laws requiring
every truck to carry mirror giving
view of the road to the rear and by
requiring every horse-drawn vehicle to
display some sort Of light when using
the roads at night.
Mr.. Eldrldge states that 10 states
and the District of Columbia have
laws requiring the mirror on trucks,
but that few have any regulation for
horse drawn vehicles. The states re-
quiring mirrors are Vermont, Wash
lngton, California, Connecticut, New
York, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan. Missouri and
New Jersey.

DISCUSS BUILDING PROBLEMS
Standardization Of Specifications and

Being Made.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
The committee on tests of the Ameri-
can Society Of State Highway officials
met with the officials OF the bureau OF
public roads Of the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture, in Washing
ton, to consider Standardization of
specifications and tests for road mate
rlals. The purpose OF this meeting
of representatives from all sections
OF the country was not so much to lay
down rigid rules as to harmonize the
general practice. Standardization TAX
ing into account local conditions is
being brought about by series of
meetings between officials from groups
of states and engineers Of the bureau.
The present activity of highway Off
cials along this line Is most encour-
aging for road building. A few years
ago the general tendency was toward
individuality in each state, without
much opportunity for exchange Of
ideas and knowledge. Today the ten
dency is in the other direction, and
better solution should be reached
when the problems are discussed at
meetings of the best highway engi-
neering talent Of the country.
