STANDARD MATERIAL TESTS
Increasing Need Felt for Some System
to Be Recognized In All Parts
Of Country.

With the wide extension OF I'M
rroved highway construction through
out the United States, the need Is In
creasingly felt for some system or
standards for the testing Of highway
materials so that tests in one part OF
the country can be accepted In an
other.
The bureau of public roads OF the
United States Department Of Agricul'
ture has held conferences on the SUBJ
iect with the various state highway
denartments, and last year a confer
ence Of testing engineers was held In
washington. The results Of the con-
ference are published in Department
Bulletin No. 949, STANDARD and Ten
tative Methods of Sampling and Test
ing Highway Materials" This bulletin
Of 9s pages gives 81 different tests and
tentative tests covering nonbitumfnous
and bitumfnous road materials, soils
and other substances.
In some cases the standard tests or
the American Society for Testing Ma
terials have been adopted In their orig
inal or slightly modified form, and
In others not yet covered by dhe soci-
etv original standards have been es-
tablished, Lists and descriptions Of
aDparatus for conducting tests, form
for reports and tables of comparative
standards such as Baume gravity,

uremcnts are also given for ready ref

ROAD
DEVICE FOR TREATING SAND
Engineers Of California Bureau OF
Public Roads Use Blower 30
Obtain Material.

prepared by the United States Depart
nlent of Agricultural
A new method of treating locaA
sand to make 1t conform to the speci-
fications for a concrete road has oeen
adopted by the engineers OF the bu-
reau of public works in charse
of California :, federal-aid proJect
No. Al. Near the south end OF
the project no local sand couid
be found which would conform to the
requirements Of the specifications ap-
proved by the bureau Of roads OF the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture These prescribed that the sa1d
should contain no more than per
cent Of material which would pass
q 100-mesh sieve. The local SAND ana
lyzed about Is to 20 per cent, when
was entirely too high to permit its
use.
Instead of falling, back upon the i'm
portation of suitable sand from an"
other locality, the engineers devised
plant for blowing the fine particles
from the sand. This district is ex"
tremely arid, and in summer the tenn
perature sometimes mounts to l2O de-
grees in the shade, SO that the sand Is
very dry when worked. The device
used consists of an ordinary conVeyor,
which lifts the sand to revolving
screen. Material which will pass a
one-fourth-inch mesh is discharged
into a hopper under the screen and
then through a. narrow opening into
a storage bin below, In falling from
the hopper to the bin. the sheet of
sand passes directly in front Of a
nozzle, which directs against it a CUR
