OIL APPLIED TO DIRT ROADS
Much Used In Illinois as Preventive of
Mud as Well as Dust Several
Good Methods.
(Uy T. M. CISEM
Many roads in the oil Holds of 1111
hols havu beep treated with oil which
Is a prevontlvo of mud as woll us dust.
Koads that wcro put In ahapo and
well sprinkled with oil last fall stood
tho winter travel whlcli la always
heavy In tho oil fields, and ramo out
in tho spring with vory llttlo needed
repairs.
In applying oil to ourcommcm dirt
joads several methods are employed
Sometimes whero tho road 1b in good
shape tho oil is sprinkled on without
any further preparations. This ia suf
ficient for summer roadB and for hold
ing down tho dust, but a better moth
od should ho employed whero Eood
vrintcir roads are expected.
First tho road should bo well work
ed with tho road machine, then apply
,tho oil with sprinkler, putting on
enough to well dampen tho fresh
worked dirt, then a disk or harrow
Bhpuld bo used to mix tho oil well
with the clay;, artcr sprinkling ngaln,
the roller Is used to smooth down and
pack tho roads.
Aftc,r this tho road should bo sprin
iled onco a month in winter to keep
Jt freni taking water.
All ruts must be filled with dirt as
soon as they commonce to form. Also
wot down this filling with oil.
' After two years of this treatment
jroads become solid and show but llt
tlo wasto from travel and rain. Well
piled roads are dustlcss.
Saud roads are treated the same
.way but requiro moro oil to put them
l shape. A common water tank with
ptroet sprinkling attachment is all that
Js required for applying it to tho roads
PREVENT STEEP ROAD CUTS
Difficulty Usually Experienced In
Mountains or Hilly Country Is In
Repairing Washouts.
In a mountainous or hilly country
where the roads must bo built with
considerable grade, ono dlftlcutly
which Is usually experienced in their
maintenance is in repairing washouts.
When a heavy shower falls upon
the road and adjoining country, water
'will find its way to the depressions
worn by the wheels. It flows down
these depressions, gaining volume and
velocity as it goes until tho road sur
face is eroded and deep ruts often
formed. The road which was good in
the beginning is now rough and rutty
and unpleasant and even dangerous to
travel over.
One of the very best methodB for
preventing this cutting writes B. D.
House of the Colorado Agricultural
College Is to build across the road at
Intervals of two or three hundred feet,
ditches running entirely across tho
road. These ditches should bo about
one foot deep and perhaps three feet
wide. They should be so located that
thoy will discharge their water at
some distance from the road and in
such places that tho water will con
tinue on down the hill from tho road.
In order that the road may bo
smooth, plank bridges aro placed
.across these ditches. Theso aro very
simple affairs, 4x4 answering the pur
pose for the stringers and 2xGs or 2x4s
doing very well for the flooring. These
planks should be placed so that cracks
one and onehalf to two Inches wide
aro left bct'"een each plank. These
cracks then running across the road
allow the water coming down the road
to go through them, into tho ditch and
pass away. In this way tho volume
of water flowing over tho road surface
i Jb kept down and cutting prevented.
MAINTENANCE IS ESSENTIAL
Road Repairing as Important as Build
ing, According to Official of Ag
ricultural Department.
Logan W. Page, chief of tho ofllco ol
public roads, of tho department of ag
riculture, Is bending every energy tc
impress upon tho people of tho coun
try that maintenance and offoctlve ro
pair are of equal importance with tho.
actual Improvement of bad roads. In
vestment of money in new roads does
not becomo real economy until provl
slon is mado for keeping those now
roads in condition after they are
built. If a new road was built and then
allowed to Ifall Into disrepair, much ol
'tho original investment is simplj
wasted.
Quito frequently the office of publk
roads, when called upon for assistance
by tho various states, pbints out thai
road building is an art based on a
Bcience, and that trained men and ex
pcrjonced men aro nocessary to secure
tup best results from thoexpendlture
of road funds.
Statisticians have figured out that al
though tho avorago expenditure on the
improvement of roads exceeds $1,000,
000 a day, a largo portion of it It
wasted because of tho falluro to build
tho right typo of road to meet local
requirements or the falluro to provide
for tho continued malntenanco of the
Improvement.
Improve Social Conditions.
Oood roads not only bring tho mar
kot nearer to you but thoy improvo
tho social condition of your commun
ity because thoy bind nolghbors and
friends more closely.
Left to the Individual Taste.
T seems that designers who en
deavor to prepare styles which thev
hope will becomo fashions, have
worked along the most independent
lines. There is no apparent uniform
ity of Ideas in the construction of cos
tumes, oxcept tho general approval
given to narrow skirts and big waists.
Accept theso two features, look to the
Orient for inspiration, and you may
evolve styles to suit yourself. Theso
is no hint to variety and eccentricity.
Tho Turkish pantaloon skirt .of
heavy and supple black satin which is
shown here is an approved model. It
is a picturesque but not a graceful
garment, mado to hang about a slim
figure. And it takes slimness to the
point of attenuation to wear drapery
on these lines, with any success. But
tho idea of the pantaloon as suggest
ed her brought in a variety of skirts
with drapery arranged at tho sides in
this fashion.
In tho majority of similar skirts
less material is used, and in a simpler
arrangement. Tho front Is plain and
there is no need of the lace under
flounce at the bottom. Wido fabrics
are cut in such a way that the skirt
Is narrow nt tho bottom, draped in
hanging folds about the hips, and
finished with a plain panel at tho
back. This Interpretation of tho
pantaloon skirt is moro pleasing, moro
simple and far more populnr than the
original development, which came
from the Callot salon and which is
pictured in the illustration.
The little Turkish jacket worn with
the skirt is in bluo velvet. It is a,
SHORT DRAPED WRAP
OF BROCADED SATIN
GIVES DRESSY EFFECT
SHORT draped wrap of brocaded
satin in tho paprika color, or a
mahogany, with trimming of bands of
skunk, is among tho handsome cloaks
which will servo for day aa well as
evening wear. Brocaded satins may
be had, too, at prices that aro not too
high to be considered by the pos
sessor of nn average dress allowance
They are shown in tho richest weaves,
costing all sorts of money, also, but
smart, military looking affair, very
rich and rather simple. Black vel
vet and silk ornaments form Its dec
oration. Tho model hangs loosely on
the figure and Is ono of a fow suc
cessful designs which incorporate a
plain sleevo with arms eyo defined.
Such a sleeve Is shapeless a straight
tubo, saved from ugliness by tho in
sertion pf panels and cuffs of black
velvet below tho elbow. But it ia in
harmony with tho Jacket and skirt It
is true to the original Turkish jacket.
To bo strictly fashionable, ono must
look as if tho clothes were carelessly
adjusted. This is a fad of the hour.
A genejal falling-to-pieces and don't-caro-jf-1
to poso has been adopted by
some extremists, but they are tew.
Clothing is soft, roomy and comfort
able looking and tending more and
moro toward a graceful draping of
the figure.
In spito of all this variety and ec
centricity of styles, the good looking
tailor-m&de suit continues to flourish
almost undisturbed by tho restless
striving for something new. It is
somewhat less Bevero, indulging a llt
tlo in tho use of draped lines in skirts
and roominess in coats. Tho peg-top
skirt and the Russian blouso make a
combination as smart and up-to-date
as can be, in tho development of tailor-mades.
A suit of thla kind, with
soft blouse of silk or lace, borrows
just euough from tho fads of tho sea
son to be quite in tho mode, without
losing tho tailored character which
so appeals to American women.

An elegant satin is employod in the
beautiful model shown hero, and hand

trim it. In a light golden brown, in

It will provo qulto as effectlvo in

Tho hat worn with this wrap is
larger than the average and Is mado

covered brim and soft puffed crown of
satin. A narrow band of fur, like that
In the wrap, furnishes a necessary
finish at tho baso of tho crown, and n

completes tho design. It is not a
shape which all faces can wear, afld
a smaller hat would look equally well.

GOOD REASONS why
you should have your car
overhauled now and worn
parts replaced.
FIRST: The garage man
can give you better service
and you can spare the
car better now than later.
No matter whether you arc
going to keep the car, or
sell or trade it in on a new
one it will pay you well
to have it thoroughly over
hauled, worn parts replaced
by new ones and body re
painted. SECOND: We are able to
furnish replacement parts
for all models of above
makes of cars within 48
hours from receipt of or
der. Have concentrated
this branch of the business
at Newcastle, Ind. (center
of population of the U. S.)
Here we have a $1,750,000
investment in plant and
stock. 45,000 separate bins

THIRD: And perhaps tho
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now we must increase
prices 20 January lot,
when the new parts price
lists will be off the presses.
NOW NOTE THIS Never
before in the history of this
industry has a new con
cern, having bought the
plants and assets of a bank
rupt one, taken upon itself
the obligation of furnishing
replacement parts for the
cars it never made.

considered it good business,
even if not a moral or

WE FOUND 122,000 owners
out in the cold, as it were
pleading for parts. Their
cars laid up and useless in
most cases.
WE'VE INVESTED about
one and three-quarters mil
lions ($1,750,000) dollars in
a plant and stock of parts,
for over 150 different mod
els, made by the concerns
that comprised the United
States Motor Company,
whose assets we purchased
from the Receiver thru
the U. S. Courts.
WE TOOK THE NAME
MAXWELL solely for the
protection of 60,000 persons
who had bought cars under,
that name.
HAD WE CHOSEN AN
OTHER NAME those 60,
000 cars would have had
almost no value in the second-hand
market. As it is,
they have a definite value.
And by the replacement of
the worn parts your car
will be good for a long time
to come.
