GOOD
ROADS.
LIGHT-EDGED ROADS FRIABLE
Some Sections Of Bates Experimental
Road Break Under Traffic OF
Light Trucks.

prepared BY the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Some of the lighter sections Of the
Bates experimental road failed under
the traffic of light trucks driven along
the edge of the surfaces on the first
day of the test. The road. which was
especially constructed for the experi-
ments now being conducted by the
state highway department of Illinois
in cooperation with the bureau of
public roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is two miles long
and consists of numerous sections of
different types of construction.
On March 80. the day the road was
opened for the tests, IL trucks with
bodies removed to make load of
$500 pounds ON each rear wheel were
started on trips which will continue
with Increasing loads until the suit
ability of each type is determined The
trucks were driven so that the outside
wheels were on the edge of the paw
ing, and almost Immediately some Of
the sections began to fall. This was
expected, as the sections were Of light
design and intended to demonstrate
the futillty of such construction.
The road will be subjected to a num-
Der of tests under the destructive
pounding of the trucks, and it is ex-
pected that much valuable informa.

BOOM IN MATERIAL TESTING
Increase In Facilities Has Grown Rap
idly In Past Few Years In
Different States.

The great boom in highway build
Ing which has come since the federal
aid act of 1918 has led to an Increase
In the facilities for testing highway
materials. The bureau Of public roads
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture keeps In touch with all
laboratories which test material for
federal-aid roads and reports that the
number has grown from scattered
few In 1916. to at least one in every
state with two exceptions. They are
distributed as follows: State highway
department laboratories 20, university
laboratories 81, and commercial labor
atories 81, total of IS.
Conditions have become such that 1t
is practically a necessity for each
state to have means of quick testing
In order not to delay work. In pass
ing on materials the laboratories are
governed by the idea that roads must
be constructed with materials close at
hand wherever possible and give as
surance for the use of such material
where 1t Is suitable.

made of these shirting silks. Whether
for children or grownups. tub silk

MADISON PEOPLE WANT
NEW HOTEL

ed by the Citizens for New Hostel

modations came up before the mem
beys of the Madison Board of Trade
last week and as a result. the cti-
zcns have several propos tions un-
der consideration.
In an Informal discussion it seemed
to be generally agreed that Madison
does not have suitable hotel facilities
at present and that such were badly
needed. Owing to the inability of
the members of the comm ttce ap-
pointed some weeks ago to look into
the matter to be present, the secre-
tary stated that Amadco Christopher
who has just begun the erection of
a new block at the corner of Madi-
son and Main streets, is willing to
make it thrcc-story building. the
two upper stories to be used and fit
ted up as a modern hotel if the busi-
ness men of the town would sub
scribe $4,000 toward the same. \
letter was read from we'll known

such house.
Another proposition discussed was

Weston house and thoroughly reGt it
for modern hotel. 1t was stated
that this property could be pur-
chased nt reasonable figure. 1t
was voted to instruct the committee
to invest gate and report Mt an adj
iourned meeting what it would cost
to make the necessary changes.
Another proposition was to pur-
chase the old Hilton house lot and
Charles +. Dav S, Harry S. Dyer and
y. J. Conners were appointed to in
yestigate the cost of this proposition
and report at an adjourned meeting
The meeting was adjourned for one
week with the understanding that the
