"The health problem In villages Is not so much the framing of new health codes or tho adoption of the latest wrinkles* In public health work. as it is in the enforcement of such rules as do exist, with addition of special regu lotions" only where they are actually needed.

Tbe doing awny with cesspools and privies depends i upon sewerage facilities and must be a step contingent upon the extension of tbe drainage system.

I Arrangements ure to be ntade by the Ulilted States department of agriculture. through Loijau Waller Page, director of ti?e otlice of public roads, to place on exhibition a( the Pnuania-Paclflc exposition in 1015 the greatest collection of road models ever displayed in any p"'t of the world. The models will furnish exact duplicates of the old Itouiau roads, French roads and all of the various types of modern roads, together with miniature models of road machinery operated by electricity, i The ottioe of public roads made an j exhibit of road models for the flrst time at the Alaska Yukon-Pnclflc cx prrvltion. The aim wr.s to put on view such striking examples in miniature of road models that visitors would not only appreciate the bono ft cent effects ? of Improved highways, but would, at the snme time, be able to understand the nffcthods of their construction. 8ioco the Alasko-Yukon-Paciflc exposition closed, the exhibit has been - displayed at numerous other expositions and rain* in many parts of the country and In South America and Ko^ rope. In the meantime, the collection has been greatly augmented nntll cv a ery single type road is now represented and every known device used in the making of roads has been reproduced In miniature. ' The models have also been displayed on road trains at all important place* T along the root*> of the Pennsylvania . railroad in the state of Pennsylvania, B the entire system of the Southern railway, the Frisco lines, the Atlantic Const line and the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Loo Is railway. .A* a result of the Instruction furnish* - ed'by these rbad rrMela many farmers 5 have Joined forces to improve their own highways, and the road building k movement baa had a great Impetus. concerning any special road problem Is mads to the department the office - at public roads furnishes It without ex.> acting any fees. f ^ p ? . ~ " f .

SPARE ROLLER, SPOIL ROAD Plenty ef WiUr Absolutely NtctMiry In Manufacture of 8lag Roada?Blag la Cheaper, La eta Better Under All Condition# and la Easier to Get. To construct a highway correctly proper excavation should first be uiade and the subbase thoroughly well rolled with a roller of at least ten tona to weight This should be done no matter what kind of base material Is used. However, In the construction of a slag road, in ordei^to obtain the very b?C reaulta, it is necessary that the looaw stag be spread on the auhbuse to a proper depth and then thoroughly rolled from time to time as the work progresses. During such procedure tt is recommended that the road be kept well wet with water. If water Is available, and in finishing It is only necessary to put on top of the sing base about two inches of slag screenings, which contain dust and slag particles as large as onefourth of an Inch, which, like all cement. is Jnert In the dry state. This likewise should be thoroughly wet and well rotted. In fact, the top should never l?e put on cv-cpt with plenty of wafer and thoroughly rolled. * This Is necessary bemuse "f the natural cementing qualities of sing, and in order to get it properly bound this nj:i- * terlnl most be rolled to eliminate* as f tunny vrtlrta n& possible. t A Ring mad built under these *i>eclfl- J cations, Instead of deteriorating, ttp in too often the ease with m?M other toad metals, will gradually Improve pntil the entire roAdhed becouies a qjolld moss, thereby giving prnctlvuily a Concrete road. It is sad Indeed to watch road fovea at work, not only along ci?Gntry~I?!gT?-~~~ ways, but more eapectuliy in the clt^j-e. ct. ri'ijio slms fob boad work. where there are macadamized roads, for tlie waste of time and material is BomcLhlng JvWuilUtig,? Streets are rei?nJrod merely by throwing loose slug or some other material into the ruts and. instead of niiishing the juti by rolling and compacting the material, making it more or U*e permnnetit. the loose material is allowed to remain, and vehicles passing over it. instead of compacting the filling. Vill cause the particles to grind into dust, which will be carried off either by the wind or by rapidly moving automobile*. leaving the street In as bud rendition its before It was repaired. Slag Is the one material that not only la cheaper ns a rule than all other rond bases, but it.Is available in large quantities and at'all times, regardless of the weather. The rnmv season has no effect on the shipment of slag, as Is tbn case in the rock quarries and gravel pit*, and by reason of the Tact titnt It Is usually loaded at points where a number of railroads center cars arc* available when such is not the case at quarrtes and gravel pits located exclusively on one line. The advantages to be derived from the use of slag in* building highways may be analyzed as follows: It is a natural cement rock. It will cement together If properly compressed by wertlng Hnd rolling. It la. as a rule, vastly cheaper than any other road material. It is available In large quantities and at all times, regardless of weather conditions. It is an imnorvloufi material. It Is considerably llgbtor In weight than stone or gravel, consequently a great saving In freight Is effected where distances are equal. A New Road Material. A new road material designed to stand hard usage from automobiles is being tried by h Swiss engineer, W. Brllch. and is said to consist of a mixture of broken stone about the stie of a hazelnut, but not limestone, with a binding material whose composition is net divulged by the Inventor. In tile present process the atone Is heated at first from 100 to 150 degrees 0. and mixed at this temperature with tj*r melted somposltion. When In use ther mass >i re melted in order to put It on the road. A mod roller heated to a nrtfcer high point Is passed over tAw am faes, the roller weighing about ?x tons.
