AMERICAN WILL EXPRESS VIEWS Xogan Page Will Tell Europeans What Automobile Does to Roads. MUST SAVE HARD ROADS.

AUTO TIRES ARE DESTRUCTIVE BY REMOVING DUST WHICH FORMS SURFACE OVER SHARP CORNERED STONES. When the "Ivernfa," Royal Mail Ship of the Cunard Line, sailed on the leleventh. It carried among other passengers, Logan Waller Page, Director of the Office of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agriculture, who, being especially commissioned by President RooseveK, is on his -way to Prance to tell the highway engineers of the world just exactly what, in his opinion, the automobile is 'doing to the macadam thoroughfares of civilization,, and what should be don to counteract its destructive effects. President Roosevelt summoned Director Page to the White House and ! conferred with him about this latest end most startling highway problem. He learned that an almost Incalculable amount of damage is being done daily, and then he informed the Director that it was his wish that the United States be strongly represented at the coming International Road Congress In Paris, and he asked for the names of two other experts to contribute information at that great gathering. Mr. Page named Colonel Charles 8. Bromwell, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds of the District of Columbia, and Mr. Clifford Richardeon, nationally famous as an authority on bituminous road material. They were appointed and Mr. Page was named as chairman of the delegation. Although this Congress will not assemble at Paris until October 11, Director Page decided to sail three days Blnce, It being understood that he ?would personaly inspect some of the toads of England, Germany, and Trance before the distinguished assemblage is called to order. He wished to view at close range the retrogression of those famous highways; and to Bee if the speeding automobiles worked the same damage there as they do here and study the remedial work that Is being done. Here he has learned that by the tractive force of the rubber tires of the speeding motor car, the surface binding dust of rock roads is drawn from its resting place and is sent swirling to the adjacent fields. Inasmuch as the integrity of the macadam road rests absolutely In this rock dust, which acts as a binding and surfacing crust, a dissipating of the Burface leaves the road nothing but a mass of loose round stones. The tests held here, especially those on the Conduit Road near Washington, D. C.V prove this contention absolute ly, and he carries with him a wonderful collection of photographs taken during the progress of those tests, by lightning-like cameras. These pictures will be submitted to the Congress assembled, being but the contribution of one savant, for it is not assumed that America alone has solved this problem. The greater question that will arise will be how to overcome the effect of automobile traffic on hard roads without in any jWay restricting the automobile or preventing its development. Two solutions there are to that question: one, to find a material of which roads may ,be made which creates no dust, or, secondly, to so treat the roads already (constructed that the dust will be re tained upon them. That, of course, is now being done in many parts of the country by spraying with calcium chloride and through the use of various bituminous preparations. Director Page and his associates will have Imuch Interesting Information to con tribute along those lines, for many fzniles of America's roads have, within 'the past few months, been treated by these various preparations, many of the tests under the direction of some expert from the Federal Office of Pub lic Roads.

He added that, as a matter of course, the Nebraskan has not the slightest chance of carrying New York, where the Tammany and Conner factions of the democracy are wielding knives. The democrats held their state convention, in Rochester, September 25 and this political writer gave it as his opinion that any harmony program developed there would simply be on the surface, for appearances only. He stopped in Indiana on his way home from the Denver convention and he summed up his observations by saying that both Indiana and New York will land in the Taft column beyond all question. And he thought this would be quite enough for all purposes.
