TEACHING HOW TO BUILD
HGHT KIND OF ROADS
Bureau of Department of
Agriculture Acting in an
Advisory Capacity.
So far has the government advanced
in the problems connected with road
construction that efforts are being
made to teach the country that the ex
penditure of large sums of money on
certain types of roads may result almost
in a total waste. A road built of ma
terials which would be ideal in one local
ity may not serve the purpose at all
olsewhere, and the money expended may
bring scarcely any result in reducing
the cost of hauling or making it easier
for the farmer to get to the shipping point
with his crops.
In order to aid farmers who want to
build-their own roads and to assist va
rious commlttes that desire to im
prove their roads nearbj. the office of
public roads of the. Department of Agri
culture has employed experts to lest
all materials and study their usefulness
on roads subjected to certain traffic con
ditions.
In Advisory Capacity.
The office of public roads is acting in
an advisory capacity to many states and
counties, giving a most practical form
of national aid. On roads where there Is
a very hard traffic it has been found that
certain kind of materials are better than
others, and that while one kind of binder
may not serve the purpose at all. an
other kind is ideal and preserves the road
indefinitely.
Millions of dollars doubtless have be?n
wasted in the past because of the ab
sence of scientific knowledge which is
now being obtained. There is no longer
any excuse for any community building
the wrong kind of road, it is declared, as
the office of public roads stands ready
to furnish any information that may be
desired as to the course that should be
pursued.
Director Page's Suggestion.
In discussing the new scientific move
ment in road improvement Director Page
of the office 01 public roads says:
"There are two ways in whjch the |
engineer may avail himself of the infor- |
matlon necessary to a proper selection
of road material. The first and only
certain one is to make an actual service
test on the material under observation j
and under the same conditions of traffic
and climate to which the proposed road
will be subjected. This method, however,
is impractical except in certain rare in
stances. due to the lapse of time which
must elapse before definite results can
be obtained. The second method Is, by
means of short-time laboratory tests to
approximate as nearly as possible the de
structive agencies to which the material
-A 111 be subjected on the road, supplement
ing the knowledge thus gained by a study
01 the results already obtained In prac
tice on material of a similar nature."
ihe office of public roads constantly
uses both methods. At Chevy Chase a
model road has been built in sections
made of different materials, while in the
laboratory of the offiee tests are con
stantly being made with scientific ac
curacy to determine the exact value of
certain materials under certain traffic
conditions.
FLUFFY "MUM" TO REIGN
AT GOVERNMENT SHOW
Thirteenth Annual Exhibition
Opens Wednesday at
Federal Gardens.
The thirteenth annual government
chrysanthemum show will open under
the auspices of the Department of Agri
culture next Wednesday morning, at 9
o'clock, in the government gardens, 14th
and B streets northwest. The exhibition
wiirbe open to the public without ticket
from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily and will con
tinue for about two weeks
There will be more than 1.000 plants
on exhibition. In the collection there are
more than ICO varieties of chrysanthe
mums and also some 170 varieties of the
pompon, a hardy garden variety of chrys
anthemum which has a buttonlike head.
The collection will include many unusual
examples of single and double flowers. In
the exhibit will be included a number of
new varieties, including the Bob Pulling.
Gilbert Drabble. His Majesty, Solomon,
Yonkers. Mrs. W. E. Trlckcr, Rose Queen,
Crown Princess, Elberon. Mrs. G. L.
Wiggs. Miss A. E. Itoope. Prof. Billandet,
C. J. Vert, Madison, Consul Lewis, Eliza
beth Seaton, Perlc Franeaise (a French
variety), Rowland Hill, Thorpe's Beauty,
Master Rex and Duchess of Fife.
Handsomest Plant.
Of these the Bob Pulling is regarded
by experts as probably the handsomest
plant in the collection. Its bright yellow
petals measure more than nine inches
from the center of the flower to the tip.
The long petals curve gracefully in re
flex and Incurved growths.
The pure white Gilbert Drabble is a
close competitor for honors with the
Bob Pulling. This plant is tall and
handsome and also possesses the reflexed
and incurved petals. His Majesty, which
has a rich deep red bloom, has attracted
particular attention from florists and Is
regarded as a remarkably handsome
specimen. The reverse side of its red
petals arc old gold in color.
In addition there will be shown some
unusual department seedlings which as
yet have not been named. There will
also be on exhibition a number of new
varieties of single tlowers and pompous,
said by experts to be of unusual quality.
In addition the public will have a
chance to see some of its old favorites
developed to a high state of perfection.
Among these will be such chrysanthe
mums as the President Taft, S. C. Kelly,
>n.i iisto?vn. F. E. Nash. Smith's Sensa
tion, Christy Mathewson, Mrs. V. Syme,
Mrs. J. W. Wells, Mrs. D. B. Crane.
Dazzlcr. Mrs. J. Biazuerd. Mary Polttn,
F. F. New. Mrs. George Hunt and Mrs.
Peter Duff.
During the evening the exhibition will
be fully illuminated with electric lights
especially arranged to bring out the
beauty of the flowers for night visitors.

BIDING REMOHS
10 COME UP TUESDAY
Demurrer Filed in Case of C.
C. Smithson by Attorney
George C. Gertman.
A demurrer was filed yesterday in the
case of Clinton C. SnUthson. accused of
violating the building regulations by
building a -woodshed on his premises
without having first procured a licence
to do so. A motion to quash the In
formation against Mr. Smithson was
overruled Thursday by Judge Mul
lowny, slttting in the Police Court.
Notice is given that the matter will be
called to the attention of the court
Tuesday.
With tho demurrer is filed a brief and
argument. Attorney George C. Gert
man, who- represents Mr. Smithson, de
claring that lie does not desire to argue
the demurrer orally. The attorney sets
forth that Judge Mullowny, in overrul
ing the motion to quash, decldcd that
the Commissioners did not possess the
power to make penalties for violations
of the building regulations under the
authority of the act which empowered
them to make these regulations. The
judge decided, the brief states, that
were it not for the Joint resolution of
Congress approved February 26, 1892,
the motion to quash would have pre
vailed.
Power to Impose Penalties.
The court then held that this joint
resolution conferred upon the Commis
sioners the power to Impose penalties
for violations of the building regula
tions, which admittedly the act of Con
gress making it possible for the Com
missioners to make building regula
tions failed to do.
Attorney Gertman then points out that
his client Is charged with violating the
"building regulations" and not any part
of the "police regulations." An exami
nation' of the building regulations will
show, the brief states, that they were
promulgated on the authority given the
Commissioners by the act of Congress
approved June 14, 187N, and on no other
authority. All through the building reg
ulations will be found incorporated other
acts of Congress, the brief continues, but
they are not building regulations, and
violations of these portions could not be
prosecuted as violations of the building
regulations.
Mr. Gertman sums his contention up in
the argument that the building regula
tions were not made under the author
ity of the Joint resolution of Congress,
and even if they had been the Commis
sioners were without power to make
them under the existing conditions. The
authority under the act giving the power
to make building regulations is admit
tedly Insufficient, and therefore the
regulations are Invalid and absolutely
| void, it is said.
iONEGRWAHMENT
How Col. Goethals and His
Engineering Force Built
the Panama Canal.
No other work in the history of ensl
neering ever multiplied the odds against
the engineer to such a great extent as
did the Panama canal, say experts.
When the work was undertaken it was
estimated that 103,000,000 cubic yards of
material would have to be excavated.
As a completed project it represents the
excavation of 232,000,000 cubic yards. In
other words, the engineers had to dig
two and a quarter canals instead of one.
And yet they dug the two and a quarter
canals in less than eight years, where
it was estimated that it would take nine
years to dig one canal.
Another Estimate
Put in another form. It was estimated
that the average amount of excavation
from January 1, 1907, forward, per
month, until completion, would be ap
proximately 954,000 cubic yards. On that
basis it would have required twenty
year8 instead of nine to dig the canal.
In other fcrords. If Cot. Goethats and his
men had been content to keep the pace
set for them by the men who laid out
the plan of the canal they were to build,
I we might have seen the first ship going
through the Panama canal In March,
1027, Instead of December, 1913.
| Thrilling Story of Engineering.
The story of how Col. Goethals and his
men never rested upon the oars of past
achievement from the day they started
in until the day that Gamboa dike was
blown up; of how they used each higher
plane of efficiency as a rallying ground
for still higher efficiency, constitutes the
most thrilling tale in all engineering his
tory It Is a story that stirs the blood,
and Is told In "The Panama Canal," by
Frederic J. Haskin, which The Star Is
handling on behalf of its readers, at the
cost of distribution. Save the coupons
which are found In every issue.
NEW SADDLE FOE CAVALRY.
Bridle Also Approved by the Secre
tary of War.
The Secretary of War has approved
the bridle and saddle of the new cavalry
equipment as modified by the cavalry
organization board, and has ordered that
the ordnance board begin their manu
facture as soon as possible.
The saddle blanket will be continued,
the proposition for the adoption of a
saddle pad having been rejected. It Is
proposed to Issue the first new equip
ment that is manufactured to one squad
ron of each of the regiments.
No equipment will be issued to the
field artillery until the field artillery
board makes a report of its recormnm
dation to th?* War Department. The
ordnance department itas started the
manufacture of gauges, templets and fix
tures and made the necessary allotment
for the manufacture of v?ew equipment.

*' by Leonard Bonney. as bad been
contemplated. Mr. Bonney was to have
flown a little Freneh monoplane from
College Park to Canada, the start being
scheduled for last Tuesday. There was
trouble about getting a satisfactory motor
Installed In the machine and the start
was postponed until yesterday. In the
interval Arnold Kruckman. the aeronautic
expert who was managing the flight. ob
tained an aviator in New York to inako
the flight and the Washington-New York
end was abandoned. It was stated that
the flight would be made from New York
early in the coming week.

been demonstrating the Giro motor In
England for Kmll Berliner of Washing

French tlying fields and the English and

Flying Is Up to Congress.
The War Department has put the ques
tion of military aeronautic development
up to Congress. It is not known what
appropriation for aeronautics will be
given by Congress this year, but on the
attitude of Congress will depend the de
velopment of aeronautics in the army.
This country has a very small force of
trained aviators and less than a score of
effective machines. Two that ? were sent
to the Philippines for training work there
have both been recently destroyed, though
without any fatalities among the aviation
students. The army states that it is so
hopelessly behind European countries in
aeronautic development that it is useless
to try to extend the aviation establish
ment unless Congress makes fairly liberal
provision for both men and money. It Is
Intended to sen<^ an officer abroad shortly
with a view to studying the development
of military aviation in England and
Europe and adopting such features as
are applicable to this country. Even this
will depend on the attitude taken by Con
gress in providing facilities for extending
the aviation corps. Otherwise the work
is likely to die of inanition.
Same Demand in Navy.
In the navy there is a similar demand
for more men and greater liberality In
appropriations. One of the technical de
velopments that Is hoped for Is the adop
tion of a single "control" that will be
adaptable to all of the machines used in
the navy. The question of a control Is
a serious one with aviators, because up
? to date almost every machine has had a
"control" of Its own. Thus a man who
could fly one machine might not be able
to fly another, and with various types
of machines in use in the navy all of
the trained fliers might not be available
at the same time for lack of their par
ticular class of machiftes.
This difficulty abroad has been felt
for a long time and has resulted in the
various types of control settling down
to two or three at most. Something of
! this sort is wanted by the aviators both
in the army and the navy, but the navy
Is the branch of the service most active
ly engaged in trying to solve this prob
lem.

in earlier times was known as Venta
Cruz.
It was an important station on the
first transit route across the Isthmus for
the transportation of gold, sliver and
merchandise from various Spanish col
onies on the Pacific to Spain, and a route
which ran from the city of Panama to
Nombre de Dios, on the shores of the
Caribbean.
Road Paved With Stone.
The route was cut through the forest
and Jungle, over mountain tops ^ind
across mountain streams, and was rough
ly paved with stones. It ran from Pan
ama In a northeasterly direction for
about twenty miles to a point on the
Chagres river, which was given the
name o." Ventra Cruz, afterward changed
to Cruce:;. Thence it extended north
ward to Nombre de Dios.
A line of posts was established along
the route. It was put in use in 1510, and
was the sole route between the two
oceans until 1535. when the Chagres, be
tween Venta Cruz and the Atlantic, a dis
tance of about thirty-six miles, was made
navigable for boats of light draft, and
a water route was established between
Venta Cruz and Nombre de Dios. The
land route between those points was not
abandoned, however, but continued to be
used in connection with the water route.
So well was the paving laid that parts
of It remain in position today. The en
tire trail from ninama City to Cruces is
still open, and is used by the natives as
a highway for pack mules and ponies.
Toll Gate Erected.
A toll gate is said to have been set up at
Cruces in the latter half of the seventeenth
century, and all traffic between the two
oceans passed the place. In their march
from Fort San Lorenzo, at the mouth of
the Chagres river, to attack old Panama.
Henry Morgan and his men ascended the
rive to Cruces. Following the construc
tion of the Panama railroad, Cruces
entered on a period of decadence, which
, has existed until this day. The canal
commission never Instituted any changes
i there beyond including it within the
i Canal Zone school system.
Most of the buildings, which are built
after the native style of bamboo walls,
with roofs of thatch, arc below the
J elghty-scven-foot contour. The number
of houses in the village, according to
the tax records of 10J0, was sixty, not
including the church and schoolhouse.
but some of these were burned In the
fire of 1012. The Canal Zone census of
1012 showed U2> people living there con
sisting of 132 colored persons, thirty-six
of mixed blood and one white.
Outlaws Kill Four Soldiers.
Gen. Beil. commanding the axiny in the
Philippines, has informed the War De
partment that four men were killed and
