MAKES ROADS DUST PROOF
New Invention For Giving n Clean
Surface to Highways.

The municipal councils Of Frankfort
and Dresden, Germany, after making
exhaustive tests, have adopted the new
means Of keeping down the dust OF
highways, called "westrumite."
Westrumite is the invention OF a
German chemist, by name Van Yves
trum, who, being practically expelled
from his own house, which was on The
highway in a suburb of Berlin, by rea-
son of the dust raised by passing mo-
tors. set himself to find a remedy and
found it in a preparation Of petroleum
and ammonia, which is soluble in wa
ter, says the New York American.
1t is claimed for westrumite that 5
per cent Of the liquid added to % per
cent of water is sufficient to lay the
dust on any ordinary road and that,
having once been sprinkled, the road
will not need a fresh application for a
period varying from two to four weeks,
according to the amount of traffic on 1t.
1t is claimed that the material is dis
infectant; that it prevents both dust
and mud and consequently to q great
extent wear and tear. 1t is nonintlam-
mable and nonpOiSOnOuS, and it does
not stain the clothes should it fall upon
them.
The first cost Of treatment Of a thirty
foot road is less than $50 per mile, and
subsequent treatment will cost one-half
that amount. The effect of continual
application is cumulative, and the road
improves considerably under the treat
ment
1t is a point in favor Of westrumitc
that there is no need to close the road
during its application. All that is re-
quired for it is from two to four hours
dry weather following the treatment.
and Of course while still wet the less
traffic the better. After this period of.
say, four hours. rain has the eject o.
improving the surface.

energy, and with q brilliant mind, he
had already won great success IN the

] New York. Commentary

tNeW oEkf commercially
Away back in the days when the late
Samuel J. Randall. Democrat. succeeded
James G. Blaine as Speaker OF the House
Of Representatives,. James c. Courts. of
Tennessee. was appointed clerk OF the
House Appropriations Committee, at
Washington. Courts has held the position
ever since. He is Democrat but SO
extensive is his knowledge In that posi-
2tlon that he has never been removed.
Congress. when the late Thomas B. Reed
was Speaker. Uncle" Joe Cannon, of
Illinois, was chairman Of the committee
In that Congress. and although pressure
was brought to bear upon him to give
the position to some loyal Republican or
party henchman, Mr.. Cannon declined.
The reason for this is that Mr.. Courts
is practically Indispensable. His position
is no sinecure. If ever man in this worlo
has had to work. Mr.. Courts ia that man.
Recently the Republican House decided
in an appropriation blu that Mr.. Courts
is not receiving enough salary. His pay
has been $4,000 a year. The House has
increased it to $1,000. The Senate will con-
cur.
4 And tt IS quite certain, too that in con-
curing the Senate will also put in the
Legislative bill provision increasing
from $1,000 to si,Goo the salary Of Thomas
P. Cleaves. of Maine, who has for more
than quarter of century been the
able and efficient clerk of the Appropria-
stions Committee Of the august body.
Political changes in that end OF the
Capito; have no more affected the status
of Mr.. Cleaves than they have Mr.
Courts Both Of these men have worthy
assistants who are being trained in the
work. and If one or both should die with
in the next few weeks or years, a COM
petent man would step in and fill the
place with complete satisfaction
