Aperlcna Bead Ceagress.
The government exhibit which wUl
he a teatnre of the Fourth American
Road Congress in Atlinta, Georgia,
during the week of November 9, will
include s remarkable series of models
showing every type of road construct
ion from the military roads of Im
perial Rome down to the most modern
types of market road and city boule
vard. Reproductions of the roads
built by the French Bourbens. by
Napoleon, as well as the early speci
mens of macadam roads built by John
L. Macadam will make the series his
torically complete. This exhibit,
which is now being prepared- by the
U. S. Office of Public Roads, will also
include' dynamometer equipment, by
means of which' the exact pull re
i quired on every type of road surface
c?flj be shows-with mathematical ac
Icurancy
According to Mr. Charles P. Light,
business Manager of the exposition, to
be held in connection with the Con
gress, many of the states are arrange
ing for educational exhiblta affording
full Information concerning roads and
the materials of construction. Mr.
Light states that although the Con
gress is nearly four months off, reser
vations have already been made for
the dlaplay of road machinery, en
gineering Instrumente, and materials
of construction, sufficient to flu cotn
1 pletelx the auditorium .as well as an
! additional temporary structure which
will occupy the entire street apace ex
tending for a city block and two
thirds of the available space la a via
duct having a length of two city
blocks.
"The expenditure last year-for road,
construction and maintenance
throughout the United States," says
| Mr. Light, "was well over $205.000,000
and will soon pasd the quarter billion
! mark. In view^rof -this great
outlay It Is almost essential that road
officials, contractors A maufactnrers
get In tonch with one another at least
onoe a year under conditions such ss

Daniel* Making Ulster;.
It Is evident that the opinion Sec
retary Daniels formed ot the Navy
Department was that it had become
antiquated and wedded to the tradi
tions of the jwat. It waa also evident
that tha Secretary felt the Navy waa
In need of rejuvenation from keel to
upper deck. He proceeded.to rejuve
nate it. Some of his orders proved
radical departures from established
customs and a flury of crltlclam
urally followed, bat by thla the Sec
retary waa undisturbed. Caraful
analysis Inclined the thoughtful to the
belief that' Secretary Daniels'
would work to the Improvement of
conditions In ' the Navy, and this
opinion has been growing upon the
country. So It cornea to
when Mr. Daniels Issaed order*
llshtng a new system of di
desertions, the country waa
toflrst consider th? merita
ders, and criticise afterward. 8ncre-J
tary Daniels has overturned a I
which has prevailed over 100 jrtan,
and which, like othfer details of naval'
management, waa ont of sorts with
the new conditions which have arisen
In the past century. The Navy has
an elistment about up to the limit
provided for by law and there are
some discontented men In it These
will be permitted to secure their dis
charged by refunding the cost of the al
lowances made to them for clothing
and other supplies. Further, the pun
ishment for desertion In times of
peace will be a dishonorable discharge,
Instead of imprisonment. The nnval
prisons will be abolished and an ex
pense of $1,000,000 a year saved the
Government, but more Important of
all, this new system will open the way
to the highest attainable notch. The
applicants now on the waiting-list?
The ultimate effect of Secretary Dan
iels' new regulations will be to weed
out the inferior material in the Navy
and to replace it with a higher class
of recruits, advancing the personnel
tto the higfMtt attainable notch. The
Observer believes that a^ Secretary
of the Navy Mr. Daniels Is even now
making a record whiclf will be vindi
cated by experience in a way to give
him a place in hlstac? as a man of
accomplishments.?Charlotte Obser
