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.

Good roadB not only bring tho mar

tho social condition of your commun

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.

THEREARETHREE
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 axe
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
of parts.
THIRD: And perhaps the
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now we must increase
prices 20 January 1st,
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.

THE MAXWELL MOTOR
COMPANY DID. We
considered it good business,
even if not a moral or
legal obligation.
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.
