.THE DUST PROBLEM. Sj
fad of CmI Tar Treatment to Or!
coma It.
France leads in automobiles and In
everything pertaining to the motor car.
She has an advantage wbk-h has meant
Just as many thousands to her in con
nection with the automobiles she Las
the finest roads in Europe. But the
other side of the picture is this that ne
people in Europe have suffered bo much
from the dust nuisance, says a New
York Ameriean correspondent. Wher
ever the motor car is there are the dust
clouds all over the rond. and one of the
most pressing problems in France at
the present moment is. how are we go
ing to get rid of the dust nuisance?
The leading expert iu Europe on the
subject of dust suppression is Dr. Gu.
plielmiuettl. The din-tor, instead of
looking after his patients at Monte
Carlo, prefers subjecting the roads to
the coal tar treatment, and this is hii
explanation: The dust is simply driv
ing invalids and others from the Ki
vicra. and since autoniobilism has tak
en such an extension the dust plague
has become such an insufferable nui
sance that doctors prefer sending their
patients to Swiss sanitariums rather
than to the dust poisoned Hiviera. Auto
mobiles, with their immense weight aud
excessive speed, threaten to render the
Riviera and other parts of France un
inhabitable to persons with weak lungs
or bronchial affections. When a motor
car t':irs along a dust laden road at
full speed what happens? A sort of
whirlwind U created and sucks up the
dust, which is driven into the human
respiratory orirans. causing irritation
and injury to the mucous membranes,
but Dr. fTuirlielniinetti is tin enthusiast,
and h- has the faith that saves.
For several years he ha-: Twen trying
to find a cure for the dnst planne. and
if In- tins not y. .11 ;c vere,l it 1 nm
.-onvi!.c.Hl that it is :i t far off. rVfoiv
the tarring proifK "''as tried on the
na.Is at Fontai;cK,.-au and Mehm the
inhabitants were obliged to kevp their
.vindmvs clis.il tbr ci-hoiit the sum
mer. Now they can o;'U them without
f..ar of U.'.utf blinde.1 or vjffoeate.!. and
the same tiling is taking place else
where. A great deal bus h.vn done by
various systems of road tarring, but
the ideal system has probably yet to be
found. Its coming is only a ipiestlon
of time, and in that as in so many
other inventions for the goi)d of man
kind, France will probably lead the
way.
NEED OF SIDE DITCHES.
Valuable In Tarrying Off Water From
Rural Highways.
Every country road in America
should have side ditches, says a corre
spondent of Farm Progress. Few per
sons know how great an amount of
water falls upon a country road, and
It might be surprising to know that on
one mile of nn average country road in
the United States, three rods wide, fall
each year an average of twenty-seven
tons of water.
So insist upm side ditches. There
should be one on each side of the road
wherever p issible. They are necessary
because the thousands of tons of water
which f.:'.l up in the average country
roa 1 each year in the f inn of rain and
snow sli i-.il.l be at once carried away
to a iicl-M orlng creek or some other
water channel as fast as the snow
melts, so ns to prevent it from forming
deep mud nnd thus destroying the eur
face of the road.
A side ditch should have a gradual
falling nnd even grade at the bottom
with broad sidfs. With ditches so con
structed there is little danger of the
sides of banks caving in. aud they W.ll
easily clear themselves of snow, weeds
and rubbish. In l-x-atlng the ditch it
is best to leave it three feet from the
edge of the roadway unless the space
is too lhritel tJ s-j permit, but in any
case at least two feet should be al
lowed. V.'hr Koarfu Should lip Improved.
T'.r-re are many striking examples of
the value of good roads. Wherever
roods have Ix'en peruir.nontly Improved
it is f r.::i ! : t there has been a very
great ln re:i- .u value of the adjacent
pr---icrt.v. :y Coo.l ltoHds Magazine.
Among examples of this sort is that of
Jackson, Teun. From tigure recently
published It is shown that since l'JOO
the city has increased .1,000 in pepnla
tion. The ronds were improved through
Issuing bonds to start with, and they
have advertised the city so much that
families are constantly coming in from
adjoining counties, with the result that
land values have incrensed in some
cases from 20 to 100 per i-ent Proiierty
in the city has also greatly increased
in value.
Aa Aalomoblle Road.
Seven miles of automobile road Is to
be the latest investment of Uncle Sam
It is to run from the point of Sandy
Hook through the government reserva
tion south to Highland Beach under the
Navesink light and will be used ex
clusively by army officers and their
friends.
Good Road Notes
It is not a good road unless good the
year around.
A good road is rather to be chosen
than patent springs.
The state of Rhode Island recently
voted in favor of spending $600,000 in
the improvement of ber highways.
In the state of Pennsylvania all the
counties except seven have applied for
tate aid under the new good roads
law.
All the leading farmers and financial
interests of Lowndes county. Miss are
behind a determined morement to get
better roads for that county. It is
likely the county will issue bonds.
DUST PREVENTIVE.
Material Dlaeovered In Greece to Ba
laed by Automoblllata.
United States Consul Horton Is re
sponsible for the statement made Iu a
recent report to the bureau of com
merce and labor that a newly discov
ered substance, which boaste of an
cient Greece as its place of origin and
is knowD by the name of "akonla," is
quite as effective as oil as a dust pre
ventive on roads and has the addition
al advantage of being much cheaper
ns well as not possessing the objection
able characteristic of the latter, says
the Chicago News. The tew material
will be used extensively in tie auto
racing game, experts say.
Writing from Piraeus, Greece, Mr.
Horton says that the mayor of that
city is authority for the statement that
one ton of akonia dissolved in 600 gal
lons of water will sprinkle a thirty foot
roadway for half a mile 80 effectively
that no dust whatever will srise
from it, either through the wind or
travel. A employed there, a second
coat is administered fifteen days after
the first, the composition of this dose
being one-fourth of a ton of akonia dis
solved in 4H) gallons of water.
The solution is said to form an Im
pervious coating over the surface of
the roadway.
MRS. GOULD'S SUGGESTION
After Ano Trip She Telia How lrea
lilent I'oulil See n re Better Koaila.
Kmling an automobile trip covering
over l.noo miles, Mrs. Howard (loiiliL
whi recently left Hellcvue-Stratt rd
hotel iu Itiiladelphia fitr Castle (J.iuld.
said to a N-w York American reporter:
"L was particularly interested iu tin?
roads, which I found to be ia execrable
condition in the south.
"The fanners. I found, are all anxious
to have the roads improved. As a rule,
thev seem :rlad to note the increase in
the number of aut'iniobilcs.
I wish President itooscvelt would
take this mutter of good roads. I
aia sure he h.isjmly to interest himself
nitl the H'kk roads will come very
ipiickly. It is not only for automobilists
that I speak, but for the commercial in
terests of the country, and if the papers
took tlie matter up and brought it out
in a proper light the president would
grasp the situation and leud his voice
to the propaganda."
Be Romans In Road Balldlnf.
It is a blind people which fixes its
eyes on the railroad and considers It
the sum of all transportstion, says the
racitic Monthly. Only second to it are
the wagon roads, and Intelligent farm
ing communities ought to appreciate
the tremendous yearly loss to the
whole community In bad roads. Not
only that smaller loads must be hauled,
more trips made, more time taken on a
trip and greater wear and tear and
breakage; not only this, but the com
munity with good solid roads the year
round will outstrip its rivals in settle
ment and increased vnlues. The Ro
mans, for military purposes, built
through sparsely settled districts roads
which endure today, and the ever ac
companying result was the rapid set
tlement of those districts. The rnilroad
is not the whole thing. Get together.
my countrymen, and mend your ways.
Be Romans; make your roads everlast
ingly good.
