Attracting Attention
The great exposition of road
building material, methods, and
machinery which now is in pro-
gress in Chicago emphasizes as
never before the position which
highway construction and use is
to take in this country Here,
under one roof are gathered to.
getiier such an educational exhib-
/^jt^fcall that pertains to highway
making as the world has
neveriseen. Road builders from
all over th2 country are attend
in*; road buyers have sent thei
representatives to see what pror
reas ha* been made in the ab-
road users come to see their own
roads are up to the best standard,
and if the mon£y their, commun-
ities are spending fs being wisely
spent.
rAttracting a major amount of
the attention of the visitors a. e
the two . exhibits which have
nothing to sell; nothing to gain
except the spread of an idea.
The Bureau of Public Roads.
Department of Agriculture, has a
highly educational exhibit, show-
ng the work of the bureau, the
administration of the Federal aid
road acts, and the right way to
build roads. The National High
ways Association, occupying a
great space across the end of the
gallery, shows very large and
elaborate maps illustrating the
idea back of the association. Ir
shows, with literature and other
exhibits, its education work look-
ing to the creation of national
sentiment i; for the theory that
the National Government should
build, own, control, and forever
maiotain a system of National
Highways to which States would
build feeder roads, which in turn
would be served by county and
township roads. The great
thongs of people coming to the
Coliseum are but an indication of
the interest we, as a people, take
in the highway transporation
problem, and the absolute necess-
ity of this Government taking
the next step in [its solution
which is of course, the creation
of a National Highway Commis-
sion to locate and build the first
of the truly national roads.
Scrappers on Trucks
Keep Roads Fit
The best road in the long run
is the hard road. But there are
many localities where the use
of the hard road does not- permit
its cost to be an economy for the
commiliity. Hence the sand-
clay, gravel, shell, and other
types of roads, not hard surface,
which are built.
Such roads require contant
mainteance if they are to^ re-
main smooth. Formerly such
work was done by teams. But
modern ingenuity has provided
road tools which can be applied
to trucks, with a great economy
of time, labor, and money.
As an example, consider Kent
County, Mich., where, accord-
ing to the annual report of the
County Road Commissioners,
are 252 miles of gravel roads,
varying in width from 10 to 16
feet, the total width of the grade
vary from 20, to 30 feet.
Nearly all tfce scraping and
grading work is taken care of by
scrapers attachment, travel
about 10 or 12 miles per hour
Each truck does the work of six
or seven teams.
Nine trucks equipped with
scrappers maintain an average of
nearly 30 miles each. The qual-
ity of the work of this kind of
equipment is said to be much
better than with horae-drawn
equipment, and it takes less
superpervision to look after this
kind of maintenance organization
The gravel roads are kept
smooth by the constant use of
scrapers or grades, and by the
application of thin layers of
screened. One-half inch to one
inch is kept on the surface of the
ro d all the time; by scraping
around to fil ruts and a smooth
road under a traffic of several
thousand vehicles a day.
ON FIVE-YEAR FOSSIL HUNT
Mueeum Workere From Chicago Are
to Seek Prehiatorle Animals in
8outh America.
▲ flv«>-y*ar hum for fossils of ex-
tinct les of luuiuuials which aj*
penred ages will be begun when
Prof. Kiiuer s. Itigjfs. associate cura-
tor of ^deontology or the Field Mu-
seum of Natural History, of Chicago,
and three assistants will sail for
liueuos Aires on the first leg of their
expedition.
After exploring the Argentine pam-
pas, the party will strike southward
along the Atlantic coast ss far as the
Straits of Magellan. In places the
work will he along beaches where rhe
ledges are accessible only a few hours
each day. In the extremity of Pata-
gonia, a land of strange legends and
folk-story, the party will search for
fossil remains of nniqne and much
more ancient animala, which existed
in South America in the agea when it
was almost as widely separated from
North America ar Australia Is now
separated from Asia. Thia isolation
accounts for strange fossils.—Scien-
tific American.
