ROAD MAINTENANCE ft!
Mr. Logan W. Page, director
of the national office of public
roads, makes a timely and
cogent plea that more adequate
measures be taken for the
maintenance of highways. Millions
of dollars are being spent
for the development and extension
of roads, but the problem
of their upkeep from season to

are doing effective work in this ;
very particular. Individual citi- ; j
zens assume the duties of a road ;
inspector for their immediate :
neighborhood and whenever :
they note a break or washout, ' ,
they report it to the central or- \ '
46, ganization and immediately the ; [
needed repairs are made. Some
such system as this should be '
adopted by the state or county 5:
and, when the federal aid good
roads bill passes Congress, as it : >
doubtless will, a similar method \ I
should be followed by the national
authorities. i ;
In France, every mile of public
highway is under the con
tinuous inspection of a govern- 11
ment patrolman; and to that \ \
precaution is due very largely !
the fact that France has one of
the most nearly perfect highway
systems in all the world.?

Harvard Professor Gets His
Rest in the "Twilight State."
Boston Dispatch, 17th.

not slept for 20 years but has
taken his rest in the "twilight
state," is the subject of investigation
by the psychological
laboratory of the university and
the state psychopathic hospital. I
The "twilight state" in which
the subject retains consciousness
is declared to be a scientific
relaxation more satisfying than
sleep, restoring the bodily vigor
in about half the time required
by sleep.
m The identity of the Harvard !
professor is kept secret. Prof.
Hugo Munstereberg, director of
the psychological laboratory at
Harvard, who is a personal
friend of the sleepless educator,
has made a close study of his
case. Professor Munstereberg
said his experience showed that ]
it is scientifically possible to >
sleep without complete loss of
consciousness.
To assist in experiments at
the state p. ihopathic hospital
on the "twih^ht tate," a special
easy chair has been Constructed.
It is described fts a device
to aid subjects to y?lax.

ly neglected. Such a policy is
short-sighted and extravagant;
for, it is just as important ?to
conserve the highways that are
already in use as it is to construct
new ones. <
, In many parts of the country,
as Mr. Page declares, the people
are enthusiastic for road
improvement and are voting
liberal bond issues for this purpose,
but "with a few exceptions
they are making no pro-,
i vision to care for the roads after
they are built." Unless a
wiser course is adopted, the
public will fail to realize in
years to come their due return
upon the money they are now
investing.
As Mr. Page points out, it requires
a considerable annual
outlay to keep roads in prime
condition month in and month
out but, he adds, "this outlay is
infinitely less than the loss

pie eventually, if they allow I
their roads to go to ruin." A I
few dollars spent in opportune I
repairs will save hundreds and
perhaps, thousands for the future.
States and counties that are
appropriating road funds or
voting bond issues in this great
enterprise heed the director's
counsel and make definite pro^
vision for the cost of road maintenance.
The task of keeping
up highways is humbler .id less
inspiring than that ci building
them; the former takes on the
character of a popular crusade
and easily arouses the community's
interest; the latter calls
for sober, persistent care and
for sufficient money, but it is
essentially important.
