how these hundreds of millions of de-

they teach the lesson that, while New

PAINTING LENGTHENS LIFE
OF STEEL HIGHWAY BRIDGES

The life of many steel highway
Bridges is materially shortened be-
cause of infrequent and improper
painting, says the Bureau of Public
Roads of the United States Depart.
ment amount of money is spent for
the replacement of rusted bridge men,
bers that would have remained sound
fthey had been kept painted; and
more serious than the waste of
money is the danger to the publice
due to the weakening of some hidden
part which may cause the collapse of
the whole bridge.
Officials of the bureau urge that all
steel bridges be inspected at least
once each year and repainted at the
first sign of rusting. Normally re-
painting is required at periods of
I fiom two to five years, depending
on the climate. A suitable paint
should be used, and if there is uncer-
tainty about any paint, information
should be requested from the State
highway department.
1t is mistake to repaint without
properly cleaning the metal of all
dirt, rust, loose paint and blistcrs.
Usually the places hardest to reach
are the ones that should receive the
most attention.

BODYBUILDING PROBLEMS
DISCUSSED AT CONFERENCE

The committee on tests of the AM
erican Society of State Highway Off
cials met with the officials of the Bu-
reau of Public Roads fthe United
States Department of Agriculture, in
Washington, June 26 and 27, to con-
slider standardization of specifications
and tests for road materials. The
purpose of this meeting of representa-
tivcs from all sections of the country
was not so much to lay down rigid
rules as to harmonic the general
practice. Standardization taking into
account local conditions is being
brought about by a series of meetings
between officials from groups of
States and engineers of the bureau.
The present activity of highway
officials along this line is most en-
couraging for road building. A few
years ago the general tendency was
toward individuality in each State,
without much opportunity for ex-
change Of ideas and knowledge. To-
day the tendency is in the other di-
rcction, and a better solution should
be reached when the problems are dis
cussed at meetings of the best high
way engineering talent of the coun-
try.

FIRST HUNGARIAN PARTRIDGES
IMPORTED SINCE BEFORE WAR

lmportations of Hungarian part
ridges have been resumed this spring
for the first time since before the
World War, reports the Biological
Survey fthe United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Two shipments
have entered at the port of New York
-one of more than 1000 birds for
the game commission of Montana,
and the other, Of 200 birds, for New
York. Recent reports show that the
Hungarian partridge has become we'll
established in certain parts of the
Northwest, and that it is fairly abun-
dant in several counties in eastern
Washington. For several years prior
to the war large numbers Of these
birds were imported, but later the
shipments diminished on account of
high prices and the lack of success in
establishing the birds in many places
where they were liberated.
