THE NORTH PLATTE SEMLWEEKLY TRIBUNE. f fi OIL APPLIED TO DIRT ROADS Much Used In Illinois as Preventive of Mud as Well as Dust Several Good Methods. (Uy T. M. C1SEI,.) Many raids In tho oil Holds of Illi nois li.ivu been treated with oil which Is a nrevontlvo of mud as well us dust Hoads that were put In ahapo and well sprinkled with oil last fall stood tho winter travel which la always heavy In tho oil fields, and camo out In tho spring with vory llttlo ncodod repairs. In applying oil to our 'common dirt joads several methods aro omployed Sometimes whero tho road la In good shape tho oil Is sprinkled on without any further preparations. This ia suf ficient for summer roada and for hold ing down tho dust, but a better moth otl should bo emptoyed whero Eood wlntiir roada are expected. First tho road should bo well work ed with tho road machine, then apply .the oil with sprinkler, putting on enough to well dampen the fresh worked dirt, then a disk or harrow shpuld bo used to mix tho oil well with the clay after sprinkling ngaln, the nillor Is used to smooth down and pack tho roada. Aftqr this tho road should bo sprln J:led onco a month in winter to keep t freni tnklng wnter. All ruts must be filled with dirt as poon as they commence to form. Also "wot. down this filling with oil. ' After two years of this treatment jToads become solid and show but llt tlo waste from travel und rain. Well piled roads are dustless. Saud roada aro treated the same .way but requlro moro oil to put them )i shape. A common water tank with street sprinkling attachment is all that s required for applying it to tho roada 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 consWerablo grade, one dlftlcutly which is usually experienced In their maintenance is in repairing washouts. When a heavy shower fallB upon the road and adjoining country, water will find its way to the depressions worn by tho wheels. It flows down theso depressions, gaining volume and velocity as it goes until tho road sur face is eroded and deep rutB often formed. The road which was good in tho beginning is now rough and rutty and unpleasant and even dangerous to travel over. One of tho very best methods for preventing this cutting writes B. B. House of the Colorado Agricultural College is to build across the road at intervals of two or three hundred feet, ditches running entirely acrosB tho road. These ditches should bo about one foot deep and perhaps three feet wide. They should bo so located that thoy will discharge their water at some distance from the road and in such places that the water will con tinue on down the hill from the road. In order that tho road may be smooth, plank bridges aro placed .across theso ditches. Theso aro very simple affairs, 4x4 answering the pur pose for tho stringers and 2xGs or 2x4s doing very well for the flooring. Theso planks should be placed so that cracks one and ouchalf to two inches wido aro left between each plank. These cracks then running across the road allow the water coming down the road to go through them, into tho ditch and puss away. In this way tho volume of water flowing over tho road surface i Is kept down and cutting prevented. MAINTENANCE IS ESSENTIAL Road Repairing as Important as Build ing, According to Official of Ag ricultural Department. Logan W. Pago, chief of tho ofllco ol public roads, of tho department of ag riculture, is bonding every enorgy tc Impress upon tho people of the coun try that maintenance and effective ro pair arc of equal importance with th actual Improvement of bad roads. In vestment of money in new roads does not becomo real economy until provi slon is mado for keeping those new roads in condition after they are built. If a now road was built and thon allowed tolfall into disrepair, much ol 'tho original investment is simplj wasted. Quito frequently the office o public roads, when called upon for assistance by tho various states, p'oints out that road building Is an art based on a science, and that trained men and ex perienced men aro necessary to secure the best results from thoxpendlture of road funds. Statisticians have figured out that al though tho avorago expenditure on the improvement of roads exceeds fl.OOO, 000 a day, a large portion of it It wasted because of tho falluro to build tho right typo of road to meet local requirements or tho falluro to provide for tho continued maintenance of the improvement. Improve Social Conditions. Good roadB not only bring tho mar ket nearer to you but thoy improve tho social condition of your commun ity because thoy bind nolghbors and ".friends moro closely. Left to the Individual Taste. N Ik T seems that designers who en deavor to prepare styles which they hope will become fashions, have worked along the most independent lines. Thero is no apparent uniform ity of Ideas In the construction of cos tumes, except tho general approval given to narrow skirts and big waists. Accept theso two features, look to tho Orient for Inspiration, and you may evolve stylos to suit yourself. These is no hint to variety and eccentricity. Tho Turkish pantaloon skirt ,of heavy and supple black satin which is shown hero 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 the 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, aud in a simpler arrangement. Tho front Is plain and thero is no need of the laco under flounco at tho bottom. Wido fabrics aro cut in such a way that the skirt is narrow at tho bottom, draped in hanging folds about tho hips, and finished with a plain panel at tho back. This Interpretation of tho pantaloon skirt is moro pleasing, moro simple and far moro popular than the original development, which came from tho Callot salon and which is pictured in tho illustration. Tho 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 handsomo cloaks which will servo for clay as well as evening wear. Brocaded Batina may be had, too, at prices that aro not too high to bo considered by tho pos sessor of an averago dress allowance They are shown In tho richest weaves, costing all sorts of monoy, also, but smart, military looking affair, very rich and rather simple. Black vel vet and silk ornamentB form Its dec oration. Tho model hangs loosely on tho figure and is one of a few suc cessful designs which incorporate a plain sleeve with arms eye defined. Such a sleeve Is shapeless a Btralght tubo, saved from ugliness by tho in sertion of panels and cuffs of black velvet below tho elbow. But It is in harmony wha tho jacket and skirt It is truo to the original Turkish jacket. To bo strictly fashionable, ono must look as If tho clothes wore carelessly adjusted. This 1b a fad of the hour. A geneyal falling-to-pieces and don't-caro-Mdo poso has been adopted by some extremists, but they are (ew. Clothing is soft, roomy and comfort able looking and tending moro and moro toward a graceful draping of tho figure. In spito of all this variety and ec centricity of styles, the good looking tailor-made suit continues to flourish almost undisturbed by the restless striving for something new. It is somewhat less severe, indulging a llt tlo In the use of draped lines In skirts and roominess in coats. Tho peg-top skirt and tho Russian blouse mako a combination as smart and up-to-date as can be, in tho development of tall-or-mados. A suit of this kind, with soft blouse of silk or lace, borrows just enough from tho fads of tho sea son to bo quite in tho mode, without losing the tailored character which so appeals to American women. JULIA BOTTOMLE thero are attractive patterns to bo had in tho neighborhood of three dol lars a yard. An elegant satin Is employed in the beautiful model shown hero, and hand somo martin fur In tho bands that trim it. In a light golden brown, in tan or gray, but, beat of all, in ma hogany or paprika, this wrap Is ap propriate for day wear on dress oc casions and for evening wear. It will provo quito as effective in the Iosb expensive satina und vory pretty in tho new fashionable fabrics with velvet-like surface. Skunk furs or even Icsb expensive shaggy funs;, dyed black may bo used for the bands, Tho hat worn with this wrap in larger than tho averago and Ih mado of plush and satin. Thero is a plush covered brim and soft puffed crown of satin. A narrow band of fur, like that in the wrap, furnishes a necessary finish at the base of tho crown, mid n shaded plumo in an unusual poso completes the design. It Is not n shape which all faces can wear, artd a smaller hat would look equally voll. JULIA BOTTOMLEY Gowns and Wraps That Glitter. In brocades, velvets, Bilks and tli3 lnnumerablo transparent materials that accompany and complete them, tho rago for gold color is all pervad ing. And in tho brochea tho uso of gold thread adda a glitter which, ngaln, Is ono of the crazes of the sea son. Linings for coats aro frequently in gold brocho, and tho new tunica aro often mado of silver or gold tinted nlnon or mousscllne dosolo, tho band of strass or colored jeweling round tho edge adding Its uoto to tho scin tillating effect.

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. ANY REC O G N I Z E D DEALER or repair man whether he handles the present Maxwell line or not can procure these parts 1 for you. Or you can order direct.
