PAVEMENT RESEARCH

At Bates, Ill, there is the most in
teresting stretch of road pavement in
this country. 1t is two miles long and
is made up of 63 different sections.
These sections represent 60 different
kinds of construction, varying in ma
terial, thickness of road-bed and man.
ner of construction. There are all the
ordinary types of pavement and many
Others, some of plain concrete or asphalt
or brick or wood, and others made in
various combinations of these.
This crazy-quilt roadway is an ex-
pertinent on the part of the government.
1t was finished last April, and ever
since a corps of government engineers
has been making observations on it, not
ing the effect of ordinary traffic, tenn
perature changes and other factors.
Soon it is to be subjected to the final
test, that of very heavy traffic, with a
feet of ten-ton trucks from the war de-
partment. These are the army trucks
that destroyed so many hundred miles of
paved roads during the war.
There viii be, perhaps, half billion
dollars spent on road paving this year,
and as much every year for a long time
to come. and yet there is no dependable
knowledge as to the most durable and
economical types of construction. Here
is a bit of practical research very much
worth while. 1t may save untold mil
lions. in every state in the Union, if
the results are utilized by public Off
Gals and contractors.

Looking Both Ways.
(Roston Glnbe.l

The young woman who vanished from
Springfield. Vt, and was discovered in
Lynn declared that she had left home be
cause mo one wants to live in small
town anyway.
Hers is the very human reasoning of a
good many millions. There is a continual
tide of migration citywards of young men
and young women who look for a life
where more is happening. 1t is their
energy that keeps the cities going. II
they were not attracted by the supposed
manufacturing concern would be Obliged
to pick up its belongings and move up
country in search of hands.
There is, however, another side to this
question. If you happen to be in the con-
fidence of the average city dweller who
has reached middle age, you are likely to
be appraised of his secret ambition for a
little place in the country. He has a Wis
ion of a little house by the side of a dirt
road, and of a few acres where he can
keep a COW and raise hens. just as soon
as he is in position to do as he likes, he
means to wave a hearty goodby~ to the
concrete pavements and get out into the
green fields.
1t is true that the longing of small
town people to try their luck I'M the me-
tropolis is satisfied far more often than
that of city folk who want to Sc tile down
in the country. But that is be cause the
economic tendency is all in favor of
concentrating the population.
If opportunity for earning a living in
the country were equal to those of finding
a job in the city, the train from Four Cor
ners, after discharging a cargo of ambi-
tious youngsters, could be quickly filled
up with pilgrims anxious to get back to
Eden.

ARR0R DAYS

The governor of Pennsylvania has
named April II and April p respec-
lively as spring Arbor day and Bird day
for that state. He urges that these two
days 'be appropriately observed, not
only in our public schools, but by our
citizens everywhere throughout the com
monwealth."
Many states have already observed
their Arbor day and in others it is still
to come. for the celebration is deter
mined somewhat by climate and is
therefore spread over the months from
February to May, with a few localities
observing it in the fall.
1t is perhaps impossible to tell how
much the observance of such a day will
do to further national education in the
value of tree planting and preservation
not only to beautify towns and high
ways but to reforest formerly wooded
areas Arbor day exercises should in
clude more than ringing recitations of
Woodman, spare that tree. \ host of
school children should be growing up
with a knowledge of the beauty and
worth of trees and of the citizens re-
sponsibility toward them. These chill
dren should be acquiring a love of trees
which will be a perpetual joy to them
selves and an assurance that the near
future will see the adoption and fulfil
ment of permanent and constructive
forestry policies throughout the nation.

STORE SUITS"
No Longer a BywOrd for Misfltted
Clothing.

NO Longer BNhOFu Tor MISntted
Clothing.
The Whole experience and history of
garments sold over the counter has been
that of increasing specialization. A
- store suit - go years ago was byword
for misftted clothing. Lincoln in his
famous address at Cooper Union was
untiatteringly characterized by the press
as wearing a store suit. Similar condi-
tions prevailed in women 5 clothing. The
rise OF the modern department store
with its specialized ready -to-wear de
partments gradually has removed the
stigma attached to store clothing. At
present 1t Is true that the carefully de-
signed garments seen in the best stores
take equal rank with the products of
Paris and Fifth avenue dTessmakers.
This improvement has been gradual
and has been brought about by a combina-
ton of two things-the demand for good
and stylish clothing by increasing num-
bers of women. and the ability of the
modern store to fill the need
Along with this demand came a prob
lem that could be solved only by expert
ment. To fit the few women who could
claim the perfect So was a simple
task for the garment-maker. Neverthe-
less, he had to dress the masses diverg-
ing in every way from the ideal proper
ton. Particularly in America must this
have been a difficult obstacle to over
come. For two and half centuries this
land has been a melting pot for Euro
pean races. At present this is more
true than ever before varying from the
short heavy Slav to the tall Scandinav-
ian. In such a heterogeneous neople
bound to be many.-Dry Goods Econo-
