carry on an intensive campaign of
education: to get all the societies
of our land together and concen-

ally to get the legislatures of all
states and Canadian provinces, as
well as Congress itself. to pass a

there is no reason to doubt the word

methods to meet any situation when

upon it.

Department of. Agriculture Bulletin.
The annual destruction due to
lightning tires in the United States
is estimated to be as much as 820.-
000,000. In one State alone. Iowa.
during the four years ending with
1922, the loss as given by the to
tire marshal was 81.858304. of which
t1 per cent was due to fires in tat-m
barns. Very nearly all of such .css is

Road Building
Roadbulldlng belongs close to the
tap in the list of big businesses in
the United States. The latest odi-
mate compiled by Time. B. Rae.
Donald. Chief of the United States
Bureau of Public Roads. shows that
during 1923 approximately 40.000
miles of surfaced roads will be
completed.
The 1922 construction program
approximated 87.000 miles divided
as follows: 6.000 miles of pave-
ment such as brick. concrete. sheet
asphalt- and bituminous concrete;
moon miles or macadam. ‘ water.
bound and bituminous; 20,000 miles
of gravel and 7.000 miles of sand-
cluy and top-soil roads. The cia-i—
ficauon'of thlsz~WsadM°O miles
will be about alarm. ‘
At the beginning of this year.
there were about “0.000 miles of
improved surfaced roads in exist-
ence and at the present rate of
progress. this mileage will bi dou-
bids in ten years. -
a
One of the most important fac-
tors in the great movement for
more and better roads which has
resulted in the construcuon of im-
proved highways at the rate of lo.-
000 miles a year. is the American
Road Builders' Association which
was organized more than tween
years ago. and which holds an an-
nunl convention and PM show. The
1924 convention and show will be
held in Chicago. the convention at
the Centre. Hotel and the show
at the, Coliseum .trom January 14th
to 18th inclusive.
The sesdons of the convention
will be open to men identified with
and interested in highway work and
will attract men from every part of
the country. At the show in the
Coliseum,.all of the latest and ap-
on will be on exhibition. The of
floors of. the association are: Pres-
ldcnt. Frank Page: Secretary. E. A.
Birchiand. and Treasurer. James H.
MacDonald. The members of the
Executive Committee are: Chair-
man. Frank P889: 5. '1‘. Henry.
James H. MacDonald. Wm. B.
Smith and '1‘. J. Wasser.
The need for road construction at
so rapid a. rate as “.000 or more
miles a year is emphasised by Mr,
MacDonald who says that highway
building should be continued as fast
as the physical umluuossrier labor
and material will permit. The long-
er the job is delayed. the greater
will be the ultimate cost to the peo-
ple. The reason is that the tramc
on the main roads has now become
so heavy that the excessive cost of
operating motor vehicles over bad
roads outweighs the cost of con-
structing good ones. Referring to
one of the more heavily travelled
roads of the country-Aim Boston
