Modern Highways Rival Old Roman Roads

"The popular impression that the
old Roman roads have never been
surpassed or equalled is a wholly
erroneous one" says Herbert Quick,
the noted writer.
Fifth Avenue is infinitely superior
to the Appian Way when the latter
was at its best and was constructed
at not more than one-sixth of the
cost of the Appian Way. The old
Romans constructed their highways
with a brutal massiveness which de-
fed the destructive agencies of the
clements and of man. This required
the movement of enormous quanti-
ties of stone and mortar and the en-
forced labor of many hundred thou
sand slaves.
1t is probable that under the most
favorable conditions it would cost
100000 to reproduce mile of the
Appian Way. While this celebrated
example of Roman engineering had
a total thickness of about 3 feet,
Fifth Avenue has total thickness
Of about II inches. The explana-
ton of this difference lies in the in
tclligcnt development of the science
of highway engineering i'll modern
times.
Beginning with John L. Macadam,
the principle has been developed that
by keeping the earth subgrade dry
an enormous load can be sustained
with a relatively thin foundation and
pavement, consequently drainage has
been given more exhaustive consider
alton.
Protected Against Moisture.
The second principle not fully rec
ognzed until the immediate present
is that foundations and pavements
must be protected against the en-
croachments OF water from the out
side and against the SCATTERING ef-
feet of sudden changes in tempcra-
ture. The portland cement concrete
foundation of heavily travelled city
streets and of many country high
ways is, therefore, surfaced by wat
crproof cushion of asphalt which pro-
tects the foundation against water,
against the expansion and contraction
accompanying temperature changes
and against the SCATTERING effect OF
heavy traffic. AS result OF this in
telligent design there is no occasion
for the massive structure which char
acterized the old Roman pavements.
Today the Fifth Avenue type OF
pavement and other types comparable
to it are rapidly finding favor or
country highways as the cost, con
trarv to somewhat widespread I'M
preston, is little ii any greater thar
the construction of unprotected con
crete slabs.

WOULD PROTECT WOMEN
Secretary Davis Fayors Legislation That VIII stop Exploitation of French Labor.

Washington. Jan. i2. - Protection of women in Industry from exploita. ton as to wages. hours and working conditions and removal Of mothers from industry were the keynotes of an address by Secretary Davis here opening the three days conference on women in industry called by the women's department of the depart ment of labor.
 Today more than one-fifth of the women of the United States are em- ployed in gainful occupation" the secretary said. And more than one tenth of the married women of the nation are so employed. These fig. ures demonstrate clearly the need for thorough consideration Of the prob ltms which confront these mothers and potential mothers of our citizens Of the future. Upon the right solu- ton Of these problems depends our very existence as a nation.
 'I say here and nov. and I shall stand unequivocaliy on this proposi- ton: take out of industry these moth- CTS who have babies to care for. An economic structure which is anywhere based upon the labor in industry of the mothers of the nation is false and sooner or ater it will come crashing down about our heads"

Scientists at Work in the uCk Observatory

Jan, is.-Dewn in the basement under the dome of Lick Observatory. near here. astronomers recently opened box of huge photo- sraphie plates. taken al q far.away Australian outpost during the septem- her eclipse of the sun, and started de- yelopins them to prove or disarroye Dr, Albert Einstein's theory Of rela- tlyity
 Dr. Einstein thinks the pictures will show the correctness of his theory. which is that the sun attracts or bends the light Of nearby planets Dr. W. " Campbell. director of the observatory and head of the W. II. croeker expedition. which took the pictures. will make no statement until the plates are developed and infinitely delicate measurements and eompar- ison are made. Several weeks will be required for this work.
 Forty eight photographs of the skies were taken by the expedition. Eight of them were in connection with the Einstein theory and the others were of the stars and spectrum and corona Of the sun.
 Four "Einstein cameras, designed and constructed especially for the eclipse. were used by the expedition. They required plates 1T inches square and a quarter Of an inch thick. Tho plates were made of plate glass and weighed pounds each. The sun's corona was photographed with a camera 70 feet in focal length on plates I4 by IT inches In size.
 The plates recently arrived here from the South Pacific with eighty four packages Of scientific instru- ments used by the party. The ship ment was sent to the observatory. wich is or Mt. Hamilton. in bond by truck and the packages were opened with government customs inspector present. The packages of plates. carefully packed. weighed 600 pounds. During the journey across the Pacific great care was taken to sec that the plates arrived intact
 The Crocker Expedition was fortu- nate in that Eclipse Day was bright and clear. A German expedition to Thursday Island. headed by pr. Fin stein. reported failure because fog hid the sun when the eclipse occurred. Dr. Einstein was quoted at Kobe, on his way home, t. the effect that he thought the Campbell plates would prove his theory correct.
