THIS AUTO PICKS UP
ITS OWN ROAD DUST
English Idea Not Needed in
This Country, However,
Experts Say.
A MANCHESTER. England, en
gineer 15 years ago patented
an apparatus to be used on au
tomobiles which would collect its own
dust.
As described by Church Ilowe, then
American Consul at Manchester, the
device drew the dust into funnel*
shaped conduits which ran from the
rear ot the front wheels to the rear I
of the bacic wheels. j
The dust was blown into a. central
box, either hy air pressure of the
moving aummnniu'^ or by a -centrtta
gal fan geared to the driving shaft
of the car.
Suph an apparatus would ha ve little
success in America today, highway
| engineers point out. Rgcent improve
men's in rtui{i construction have elim j
inated .he dust problem almost to the |
minimum in some sections and even
old dirt roads may be. modernized by ;
applications of calcium chloride.
BACKYARDS GIVE
JOY TO CHILDREN
TURN your UJickyard into a chil

That is an idea growing rap
Idly in various sections of the United !
States and Canada.
One of the tirst to, do that was
George W. . Perry, Director of Parks |
and Playgrounds, of Orange. N. J., j
who one year ago established a recrea
tton center In the rear of his property. I
So pleased was he with the success I
of the idea' that he told others of It |
and today a well-established organiza
tion, called the Backyard Playground
Association of America, Is functioning :
with headquarters in New York City I
In hot weather the most popular
part of the equipment is a garden hose !
which serves as a shower bath for the 1
| children. j
Those playgrounds have been salv
| aged from dismal areas of tin cane i

rector of activities, and when he Is
! of the alert type, he has worked to j
I make the ground quite in keeping with j
the rtiore ambitious. recreation centers,
rolling the earth or pounding it down
firmly and spreading a thin layer of
calcium chloride lo keep down the
dust.
In the congested districts of the
larger cities, particularly in New York,
the Idea has caught on, the play

iRts had to find something that would
not injure the horses' hoofs and at
the same time permit thoroughbreds ,
to use iheir maximum speed.
Calcium chloride, a chemical thai :
absorbs many times its- own weight
of water, has been used for some
years on the smaller tracks at county
and state fairs and now is coming into
wider employment on the larger
