IMPROVED
ROADS
Location of Highway Is
Most Important Matter

Much Is now being said and written
In regard to good roads. Some one
has said II Is a very serious question
for the people in every section Of the
country to consider. That is my sentl.
ment also. says a writer In an ex.
change. Whatever kind Of material. Is
used In the construction Of the road,
he II concrete. brick or sand and
gravel. II is being built with a view
for all time to come, therefore the To-
cation OF the road Is a very important
matter to be considered. Are we 60
ing to follow the old trail that our
forefathers blazed for themselves
through the forest, which now looks,
since the timber has been taken Off,
like a Cowpath angling through the
farm? The ira Weller is bewildered 10
know what direction he Is going.
No, let the roads now be located on
section and half-section lines when il
Is possible To do so. Even II IL costs
more it will pay for several reasons.
Il will add so much to the looks Of the
farm and country. 1t will avoid much
danger from automobile tra fiC which
Is on the increase every year. 1t Is
easier to construct q road on a straight
line than on a curve. And last but not
least we are building new roads for
the future. Some day farms will be
made into smaller tracts with the
roads located on section lines and they
will then be easy Of access.
Let us consider well the future i'm
portanCe Of the location OF the road
before we building for II
will mean much to us now and the fu-
ture generations. II good roads mean
so much to the country let us make
them as straight rs possible, eliminat-
ing short curves and sharp corners
and We will have a road easy to follow
with less danger.

World Congress Aims to
Solve Traffic Problem

Responsible government officials the

element In transportation. according

session of the international road con
gress at Seville, where some 900 Of
the leading highway officials of the
globe gathered to exchange informa.
ton and views.
The dominant note Mt Seville" he
said, was n general recognition that
motor transport Is or q permanent
basis abroad as well as in the United
States. and with this in mind. discus
sion conferred IN ways and means Of
giving its use the br0adest possible
economic application.
Among the resolutions passed were
those calling FOR governmental aid for
notorious lines in communities and
countries where inadequate facilities
now exist the need for uniform traf-
fc rules and regulations: for progress
sive studies into city and rural plan
ming in order to allay congestion and
for centralized authority in dealing
with highway problems.
"Other sections dealt with the physi.
cal side Of highway construction aad
design, including methods OF relocat-
ing and widening highways, types Of
maintenance and other engineering
problems
In his survey OF existing transport
conditions In Europe, Mr.. Johnson
found that questions Of finance, CO.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Christmas has passed merrily and
happily, and we are face TO face with
a new year.
That the new year of 1924 may be
the very happiest and most pprosper-
Gus that you have ever enjoyed is my
sincere wish.
But all the well-wishing in the
worldwill not make the year either
happy or prosperous for you unless
you do your part to make it so.
We get out of this world just about
exactly what we put into it. If our
lives are dedicated 70 selfish things
then we shalt see nothing but selfish
ness around US. But IL We dedicate
ourselves to service. to friendlilness
and the effort to bring happiness to
others, we shall reap a bountiful har-
vest of the things that are really
worth while and desirable.
Profting by the mistakes made in
the years that have run their course
and are now ashes in the fire OF the
centuries. let III turn our faces to
the dawning of the new year, conf
dent in the fact that we are masters
OF our fate and the captains OF our
souls.
When stricken by adversely. may we
never whimper. but face the situation
with a smile on our lips and a song
In our hearts, ~resolutely determined
to carry on and win to the ultimate
goal of success. despite the obstacle |,
and pitfalls that are in our path.

Speed of Heavy Trucks
Injurious to Highways

Speed-and not Weights what
ruins the roads. II Is the impact, or
hammer blow, of inspiring weights at
excessive speeds that starts cracks,
widens assures and knocks the holes
in our concrete. This has been proved
by A. T. GOldbeck. engineer Of tests
IF the department of public roads.
Extensive tests. made for the gov
eminent. showed the following:
'ImpaCt-or destructive BLOWN
Creases approximately with the square
Of the speed. Two trucks, for exam
pie, n running at ten miles an hour,
the other AZ twenty. Although the lat
ter Is gOirk only twice ms fast as the
former It will deliver about four times
the road-ruining blow.
"This blow. for the great part. a
he directly attributed TO the design Of
the truck. A test showed 2 hve-and.
a-half-ton chstn-driven truck delivered
only 6S per cent Of the destructive
road impact that was delivered by q
direction truck OF n different design,
ARRIVING the same load and driven at
The same speed.
ct is not weight, but speed. And
not only speed, hut the speed Of the
unsprung weight. 1t Is the hammer
blow which destroys.
These facts are very significant, for
hey show that the gross load of the
truck II not the only factor which in
fuences the pressure Of the wheels OF
the truck on the road surface. It Is
possible 10 have vastly different I'M
pact pressures exarted on the road by
two different trucks both having the
same gross weight, hut having differ.
ent distribution Of their sprung and
inspiring weights, and when the ques.
lions Of road designs are 10 no consid
cred. the actual wheel pressure IN the
road is the all-imrortant thing rather
than the gross load OF the truck"

To AID SHRINE

Tents, Flags, and Other Ma
tsriaI Will Be Turned Over
to Committee.

Final plans for the location Of
grandstands, comfort stations. tent
colonies, and arrangements for
policing and the handling of traffic
during the imperial council session
Of the Mystic Shrine were taken
under consultation by the District
Commissioners today in a confer
ence with Harry Stamford, execu-
tive secretary of the Almas Temple
1923 Shrine committee.
The Commissioners went over in
a general way, the entire outline
for the coming session. The plans
will be discussed in more detail, it
is understood, in future conferences.
Commissioner Oyster is chairman
of the public order and safety COM
mittee of AImas Temple, which viii
be in charge Of the police arrange
ments and the handling of traffic.
With the signing by the president
Of the bills authorizing the use OF
all army and navy materials and
public lands in the District by the
Shriners and the $4,000 appropria-
ton for extra police and for COM
fort stations. the final success of
the session is assured, the Commits
sioners were told.
Members of the executive conn.,
mittee were in conference with Sec
rotary of War Weeks late yesterday
and received assurances that the
War Department will lend whatever
assistance it can to assist in taking
care of the crowds.
All Of the available army tents
and army and navy cots, blankets,
flags, and other decorating material
will be turned over to the COM
mittee for use as they see fit. This,
it is said, solves the housing prob
lem, no matter how large the crowd.
