DESTROYER OF HO ADS AUTOMOBILES SAID TO BE CARRYING OFF THE DUST. gxperlntenta of Government Experts to Ascertain Quantity Blani Away b7 Motor Cnr Effort Deinar Hade o Find Remedy. Tlie automobile stands accused on official government authority of high crime and nilstlemeunor. It Is destroy ing roads. And If It be asked, How so? tbe answer Is: By carrying off the 4ust The dust, strange though It may teem. Is the life of a road, without which It soon undergoes disintegration. This will be explained later on, how ever. Meanwhile It will be interesting to describe some experiments which Uncle Sam's road experts are now en gaped In making, with a view to narcer talning Just how much dust Is carried of from a road by an average motor ar traveling at various rates of speed. One method adopted for the purpose Is to mount a photographic camera on the front of a motor car, and, following close behind another automobile, to take snapshots of the latter at different speeds. It Is quite a picturesque and In teresting performance, the exact speeds being determined by means of stop watelies held by men stationed along the track, while additional photogra phers are placed at intervals on the roadside to take pictures of the ma chines as they fly past. The work in question Is being done in the neighbor hood of Washington under the direction of the burouu of roads, which utilizes a certain stretch of roadway for a given afternoon, warning all vehicles to keep carefully to the right. Then something begins to happen. The speed law is abrogated for that afternoon over this particular stretch of road. Several motor cars of differ ent types and weights are In readi ness. The photographers and the men with stop watches are duly placed at their appointed stations. Whoosh! Off goes a machine at a rapid rate, fol lowed closely by uuothcr. In the front of which, with the chauffeur, sits a uinii wh3 operates a camera. The dust files, upward In a cloud, partly obscuring the automobile In front, but that Is what is wanted to show by photography how much dust Is thus thrown up from the roadbed, to be carried off by the breeze, and so, In considerable part, lost. To say that dust Is the life of a road is not putting the fact too strongly. It Is the cementing material of the road surface, which,- combining with the moisture contributed by rain, holds to gether the stony particles composing that surface, shedding storm water and preventing the particles from un dergoing disintegration. Thus It may be said that dust Is to a road what shingles are to a bouse. If it is taken away the roadbed goes to pieces. The amount of dust thrown up by the au tomobile Is In proportion to the speed at which it goes. But, In order to ob tain exact figures on tills point, the government experts take a series of photographs of each motor car, trav eling over the same stretch of road, at teu miles, twenty miles, thirty miles and so on up to seventy miles an hour. A stretch of road with a fairly sharp turn Is chosen by preference, In order that photographers posted nt the bend may, with safety to themselves, snap shoot each motor car from" diroetly In front, as It approaches, and also directly from behind, after It has passed by. Now, It Is not merely for theoretical purposes that the road bu reau Is making these experiments. It Is trying to find a remedy for the mls-chief-a practical part of the inquiry which is belns carried on simultane ously with the automobile tests above described. Something must be found, obviously, to keep the dust from being carried off the roads, and the pre ventive seems to be either tar or oil. For some months past the experts have been applying tar and crude pe troleum to different sections of roads, nd they bave found that either (though the tar seems to be preferred) accomplishes the purpose admirably. It appears thnt an application of tnr costs less than 2 cents a square yard, including labor, and it will last for n year or so, though Just how Ion can not be stated exactly as yet. The cost of oil is even less. The tar is trans ported for the purpose in tairk cars and heated in the car by introducing a coll of steam pipe Into it and furnish ing the requisite heat from an engine on wheels whi?h. Is run up alongside. In this way the material Is made fluid, o as to be easily spread Vy raen w'tn brooms or otherwise over the surface of the roadbed that is to be treated. The tar gives a bard and smooth coat ing, resembling asphalt.' It penetrates to a depth of one er two Inches, and In the case of macadam forms a ort of matrix Into which the stones of the top layer are set. A tarred street Is dust less in the same sense that an asphalt ttreet la dnstless. MONTGOMERY ITEMS. Cotton Crop Is ShortHoard of Educa tion to Erect New School Building OtlieriNews. From The Montgomrian. J. F. Lyndon of New Hope Acad emy, Randolph county, has accepted the Abner Mountain school in Lit tle River township and will open the session in a few days. He is a bright young man, and doubtless will strengthen the teaching force of the county. Rev. T. A. Boone, of the western N. C. conference was visiting rela tives and friends in town last week. Thirty-three years ago Mr. Boone established the Methodist church at Troy. The fact that the cotton crop iu Montgomery is extremely short can no longer be denied. We have found no Bection that claims over three-fourths of a crop, and in many communities there is less than half a crop. The growers of Montgom ery would not be getting a big price for their crops were they to get fif teen cents a pound for their entire product. Miss Ha Martin, of Ukeewemee, has been elected teacher of the Car niel school iu Uwharrie township. She will open the term next Monday, November 12. . The board of education met in extra session Wednesday. An cder was made authorizing the erection of a new school house in district 8, white race, Mt. Gilead township, and an appropriation made for re pairing the school nouss in district 'i for the same race and township. Mrs. (J. J. Poole received a uies ge Saturday afternoon conveying the news of a painful accident that hupiiem d to her father, Mr. Alfred MoNuir, of Mrcu, Friday after noon. While working at a thingle nill he let his arm come iu contact with a saw, from hich he received wounds thit necessitated the ampu tation of the arm. The Home Paper. iPIere are a few thoughts from the Portland Oegonian, one of the ideally excellent tapers of this conn try, that deserve repiouuction in whole or in substance with credit for modesty's sake in all the "home papers of the land: "Your home paper never loses in terest in vou." To this possibly von have not given a passing thought. No matter if von like the news paper man or if he is true to h s nmfession and publishes a paper for the people, he allows no person al matter or ppttv spues to inter fere with news gathering.

A Woman Appointed Assistant District Attorney. New York Dispatch, 1st. Mrs. Mary Grace Quackenboss, a lawyer of this city, was appointed a special assistant UniteJ;,States dis diet attorney today, being the first of her sex to be selected for such a position. The case Mrs. Quackenboss will especially prosecute is that of the United States against Sigmund S. Schwartz, the proprietor of an em ployment bureau iu this city, w' o is charged with peonage. It is alleged th;.t Schwartz induced men, all for eigners, to accept positions in the lumber and turpentine camps of the South and that there they were sub jected to a condition akin to slavery. Mrs. Quackenboss made a visit to the turpentine camps of the South to better fit herself for the trials of the cases, a uuniber of which have been brought since the arrest of Schwartz.

The methods used Iu obtaining funds to build "subscription roads" Iu Boone county, Mo., were described a few days ago by V. B. Caulhorn, an engineer la Columbia who helped and who directed the building of some of the finest high ways in that part of Missouri, says the Kansas City Star. "I don't think Amer icans like the toll idea," Mr. Catithorn aid, "especially when they are pay tag taxes too. The subscription road Is more popular than the toll road. Ia preparing to build the Columbla-Mex-lco free highway the promoters start ed with nothing except confidence. They were toughed at, but they said, 'Let us build one ille and you'll want twenty.' And that was true. The county court subscribe half the amount needed. The property owners adjacent to the first mile put up the remainder. "That was the start. It attracted others living farther away, and they offered to subscribe for a mile, so that the first contributors were given two miles of highway for the price of one. Others Joined In, and the work contin ued, the cost to each subscriber being what he paid for one mile, and yet he had the use of the whole road. It is to be extended this summer in the same way until It is thirteen miles long, all free highway. The highest subscription out side that from the county court was $100. The sums ranged from $5 to $100." Farmers were allowed to give $50 in work. One man who owned six ty acres gnv $100 and worked It out lie said the road added 25 per cent to the value of bis land." "We've been hauling rock," a farmer said. "Some of us have got plum tired waiting for laws. We're going to build two roads this season, each five miles long, by the subscription plan. They'll be free roads. The county will contrib ute one-half the cost. The more we got of these roads the more the farm ers dciand them. I know one man who gave $1,000, and he owns only 30t) acres. That's the effect of road agitation In a community. We get subscriptions from abutting property and from benefited districts. Every one who goes near the- road Is asked to help, and they all do it." OIL FOR JERSEY ROADS. To I ko1 ta I'rtHcrve Them From the Effect of Heavy Auto Traffic. 'Wio freeholders of Hudson county ure contemplating treating sections of the country roads with a preparation of cruda oil to preserve them from the effect of the groat truffle of automo biles, nays a I'aterson (X. J.) corre Bponileut of the New York Sun. Un less It be the roads from New York to Philadelphia, no county roads In the state are more used by autolsts than the roads In Hudson county, which leail to (Jrecnwood lake. Lake Hopat cong, Echo lake and other inland New Jersey pleasure grounds. The weight. of the machines and the dust they create are coutinually lay ing bare the underdressing of the roads, making It compulsory on the freeholders to keep repair gangs out almost continually. The oil Is said to act as a binder and will prevent the disintegration of the top dressing by the heavy tires of touring machines. Rural Delivery' Notes J Illinois will probably he given the credit of starling the flrs$ rural free mnll delivery by automobile. It has been started at Plalnfield, Will county, on a twenty-six mile route, covered by II. W. Rllzenthalcr. The car that the carrier uses looks like au open buggy. Patrons of the rural free delivery routes throughout the country have been notilled by the postofllee depart ment that iu the' future they may pro vide themselves with suitable boxes which are weather proaf and fit' recep tacles fur mail. The patrons of the rural routes will be allowed the privi lege of making their own boxes or buy ing them from any manufacturer. Since free delivery of mail in rural districts has been .established I have been pleased to discover two or three pairs of bluebirds nesting undisturbed In mail boxes by the roadside, says a writer iu St. Nicholas. It is gratifying to know lhat the birds allowed them selves to be disturbed two or three times a day and yet not abandon their nests. But the thing that gives due bird lover the greatest delight is the fact that no one robbed the nests. The establishment of the rural free delivery service in Minnesota is tend ing to bring about a better condition of the country roads traversed by the carriers In a way that is unexpected. Curriers Alfred Johnson and Frank Watts, who have routes 3 uud 4 that run out of Mankato, report- that the farmers along those routes have im proved the roadways by the use of drags. It Is expected that the farmers on other routes will follow the ex ample set. . E. I..
