NOVEL ROAD BUILDING PLAN
Stretch of Quarter of Mile Long Built
to Endure ls 20 Be De-
stroyed Rapidly.

A road about quarter of mile
long, built as enduringly as possible,
to be destroyed as quickly as possible,
is the odd but practical basis of an
experiment now being conducted at
Pittsburg, Cal, says the Christian
Science Monitor. The road is laid
down in the shape of race track and
is constructed of 13 sections each one
of a different type of concrete pave
ment. The problem is TO find uut
which will last LONGEST. A procession
of some 40 motor trucks, loaned by the
United States government, travels con-
tinuously over its surface. There are
tunnels underneath and dtches along
the sides from which observations of
the effect of traffic on the different
sections are being made. Sections that
wear out first are to be restored and
kept in repair until the stoutest sec
ton, whichever 1t may prove to be- has
been destroyed. The cost of building
and wearing out the road, which is be-
ing betrayed in part by contributions
Of men, machinery and material by the
road building interests, probably will
run into hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. 1t is hoped. however, that the
practical Information thus obtained
will more than Offset It's cost.

PLAN FOR "cITY BEAUTIFUL"
indianapolis Has Society to Encourage
the Extension of Front and Rear
Flower Garden.

A Congregationalist pastor of New
England has written book in which
he claims that art and religion are es-
sentially one and that for this reason
he would have religious life sur
rounded by beautiful environment.
He has in mind especially church ar
chitecture and decoration, and the
making of worship beautiful thing,
but he would undoubtedly be an en-
thusiastic upholder of the plan of the
new indianapolis Flower society for
beautifying the front and rear yards
of city homes.
With the beginning that has been
made indianapolis has many beautiful
districts, but 1t has the possibilities of
being one of the most beautiful cities
in the country-enthusiast residents
say Of the world-if all citizens will
help to achieve 1t. This flower So
ciety's work is not one that involves
large expenditures, either to individ-
uals or to the organization itself. Its
purpose is to be advisory, to supply
seeds when necessary, to give instruc-
tions as to the methods of cultivation
Of different plants and in general to
arouse interest in the undertaking. It's
members have visions Of seeing a city
full Of flower gardens, of vacant lots
covered with growth Of petunias or
nasturtiums or golden glow from seeds
sown in the spring, instead of the u.s.

so hopeful that they look forward to
time when the occupant Of the hum
blest cottage will feel inspired to do
his part, along with his neighbors,
through the improvement Of his prem
ises. Is it an impossible dream? 1t

OUT-OF-TOWN DINNERS
BANNED At SYRACUSE

SYRACUSE, N. Y, May 49,
With a bill of $500 facing the
sophomore class at Syracuse Uni.
versity for damages to the State
Armory in Auburn during it's re-
cent dinner there the senior council
has voted to ban out-oftown class
functions, establishing precedent
in the power of student govern
ment. 1t was the last official act
of the retiring senior council,
whose members will be graduated
from the university this June.
Class dinners, which in former
years have formed an excuse for
student feuds between freshmen and
sophomore classes, seem doomed as
hotel proprietors of Syracuse have
refused to let their dining rooms for
student affairs. The under class
men in future will have to hold
them within the campus-if faculty
permission can be obtained.
