DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 27. A mighty horde of road builders and persons Interested In the better construction and maintenance of highways and streets are descending upon Detroit for the third annual American Ftoad Congress, which will begin its sessions on Monday next, continuing throughout the week. The nation, states, cities and various good road organizations through the country are sending delegates for the largest road congress in the history of the world. The first congress was held at Richmond, Virginia, in 1911, when 1,200 delegates attended. The second was held last year at Atlantic City with an attendance of 2,000. The public interest aroused at these conferences, and the publicity given to the work accomplished, has led to the anticipation of an attendance of nearly 5,000 delegates at the present congress. The congress Is under the auspices of the American Highway association, the American Automobile association and the Michigan State Good Roads association. Besides these, twenty-two road associations and similar organizations will participate In the convention. The American Bar association and the American Bankers association have also accepted Invitations, and delagates from these organizations will be present. Exhibit Materials. In addition to the road congress there will be an exhibition of road materials and road building machinery under the auspices of the National Association of Road Machinery and Material Manufacturers. Nearly 100 exhibitors have taken space for this exhibition. The daily sessions of the congress will be held in the Wayne Gardens while the night and special sessions will be held In the Hotel Ponchartrain. The exhibition will be held in a large hall in the Wayne Gardens and in an adjoining vacant lot and street where a large tent has been erected. Most of the exhibits are already In place and by the time the convention opens on Monday, the delegates will be able to view one of the roost complete and unique collections for road machinery and materials ever assembled. The first meeting of the congress will be called to order at 10 A. M., on Monday by Logan Waller Page, president of the congress. Mr. Page is the director in the United States Office of Public Roads in Washington. The second session will be held at 2:30 P. M., and will be followed by a garden party or reception late in the afternoon in honor of the distinguished guests of the congress. During the remainder of the week there will be many entertainments of a social character. These .have been arranged by the Detroit Board of Commerce, the Wolverine club, the Rotary club, the Adcraft club and others. Special Days. "National Roads Legislation Day" will be held on Tuesday and the program will be under the auspices of the American Automobile association. Representative Frank E. Doremus will preside and George C. Diehl, chairman of the good roads board of the American Automobile association, will introduce the presiding officers. National aid in road building and national highways will be discussed by many prominent speakers, among them Senator Jonathan Bourne, of Oregon; Repre-

Mr. Shackleford is also the chairman of the-new committee on public roads, of the House of Representatives, it is expected that he will have some new ideas to present to the congress as he has devoted much time and thought to advanced ideas along' the lines of national highways. The Lincoln Highway association will also occupy a place on Tuesday's program. At the afternoon session, state legislation and road management will be taken up, under the auspices of the American Bar association. The construction and maintenance session will be held on Wednesday undder the .auspices of the American Highway Association. The opening address will be delivered by Chairman J. N. Carlisle, state superintendent of highways of New York. Road Users There. Thursday morning will be given over to the road users' session under the auspices of the American Automobile association, while in the afternoon the American Bankers association will have charge of a special finance meeting. Only a morning session will be be

held on Friday. This will be known as i m0(jerDS

ivncnigan nay auu me lMicmgan iaie Good Roads association will have charge of the program. The meeting will be opened by Chairman P. T. Colgrove, president of the Michigan State Good Roads association and addresses will be given by Governor Ferris, Senator Charles A. Townsend and others. The business session of the congress will take place on Saturday the clos ing day. Joseph Hyde Pratt, State Geologist of North Carolina will preside. The committee on resolutions will make its report and the discussion and voting on resolutions will follow. The date and place for the 1914 congress will also be decided at this session. The set papers of the convention, of which there are more than twentyfive, will not be read in full, but have been printed for distribution among the delegates. The addresses will be read by title only, thus giving more time for discussion. In each case the discussion will be opened by some expert who has given particular study to the paper prepared by his conference. A prominent place in the exposition has been taken by the national government. The government exhibit includes two series of miniature models, one series showing the development of road building from the early Roman roads to the type of roads now in use, the other showing all types of modern roads, such as sand, clay, gravel, water bound macadam, bituminous macadam, brick, con-

drainage structure, modern rollers and crucjiers and other road machinery are also included in this exhibit.

As Koreans Shop. Shopping in Korea is a very grave and solemn task and occupies the master of the house the greater part of the day. In the market here he purchases his provisions, cooking utensils, linen suits, hats, sandals, tobacco, and the native drink, a liquor obtained from fermented rice. Only one article of the same kind is purchased from a single store. It would be an offense against Korean etiquette to buy a dozen at a time, as this would deplete the stock Joo quickly and give the shopkeeper the trouble and work of restocking before he was ready! It will therefore be seen that wholesale orders are not welcomed in this odd country; "little and often" appears to be the Golden Rule in buying. Wide World Magazine.
