New York.-Experiments In oiling
roads and tracks for automobile COM
petition would indicate that 1t is sue
cess when carefully and scientifically
done. There has long been difference
Of opinion on the score and most Of the
trotting tracks have objected to the use
Of oil on the ground that It hurts the
track by making II too hard for the
horses.
President Speare. Of the Bay State
Automobile association, which conduct
ed the races at the Readville, Mass,
track on Decoration day. directed the
oiling Of the course two days before the
meeting in such manner as to satisfy
the automobilists by keeping down the
dust and without dissatisfying the
horsemen, as evidenced by the report
made by Secretary Jewett, Of the trot-
ting course.
"The first time automobile races we're
held here the track was wet from the
rain and the machines did not do It much
harm. Last year 1t was dry and dusty
and we lost tons and tons Of clay, prob
ably 1000 worth at least during their
races.
The dust made the event distasteful
to everyone. It was almost determined
last year to use oil. but at the last mo-
ment weakened. some of the directors
being bitterly opposed to It. They were
afraid Of the odor. That did not worry
me. but I was afraid the oil might have
a detrimental effect on the footing.
"This year we put about 5000 gallons
Of oil on the track. The automobile races
were held two days later. and there was
very much less dust than 10 usual even
at horse races. In fact. there was none
to speak Of The oil entirely eliminated
that drawback.
Il was afraid that the oiled surface
would not pack-that instead of our
usual hard surface we would have a
brittle and cuppy one. But believe
that the track 10 better than II was be-
fore the. oil was used. In proportion to
the surface covered, there was very lit
tie oil used. The dust on the track ab-
sorbed It and It did not penetrate.
THAT oiled dust now makes q perfect
cushion. free from dust. nothing to blow
away. while the footing under It 10 hard
and as perfect as ever. do not know
how oil would work on other soils. but
on ours II has acted In Q way that has

"FREAK" PASTOR dUITe.
Peoria, Ill.,, Church II Satisfied Once,
But Will Have to Begin New Quest
for Crank to Eli Pulpit.

Peoria, 1ll.-After issuing call some
months ago for a freak" pastor, the
Central Christian church of Peoria has
rejected all applications for the pastor
ate of the church. which Is the largest
Of the denomination in the city. In re-
ply to the call sent broadcast through
out the land, hundreds Of letters and
kilograms were received, each applicant
offering himself to the scrutiny of the
committee as fulfilling the seven
freak" conditions outlined by the ON
cials Of the church.
Following were the qualifications de-
manded:
He must be crank
He must be q mixer.
He must be lodge man.
He must be married man.
He must be young man.
He must be willing to work hard.
He must be athletic.
From the number Of applications re-
ceived Rev. 8. 8. Lappin Of Atlanta, Ill.
was selected as the probable choice for
the pastorate Of the church. The Rev.
Mr.. Lappin is young man, and with
an excellent record for church work. He
came to Peoria and occupied the pulpit
some weeks ago. He made an excellent
impression. and after due consideration
the ofiicial board extended call to
him, and prospects were bright for the
transfer of his affections to the Peoria
church. Upon the advice Of his physi-
clan, however. that the work would be
too strenuous, he has communicated hia
regrets to the oflicial board.
A meeting Of the trustees has been
held and . new type of candidate ID
considered, inasmuch a. Rev. Mr.. Lap
pin, the only freak" candidate that
left lasting impression upon the
board. has turned down the cali.
