of Life.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, June O-The annual
commencement exercises Of Washington

calaureate address being delivered by Rt.
Hon. James Bryce, British ambassador to

the fiftieth anniversary of the Inauguration
of the work of the university. Upon that
occasion Edward Everett Hale of Boston
delivered the inaugural address
Among the guests present today was
Miss Phoebe w. CouzIns or Washington,

gree OF bachelor Of law. The exercises
were held in a large tent on the campus
After prayer by Bishop Tuttle. Chancellor
w. S. Chaplin made a brief address to the
thirty-four graduating students and intro.
duced Ambassador Bryce.
Ambassador Bryce spoke in part as fol-
lows:
Ideals are as high in America as any
where else in the world. You prize the
things OF the mind and the soul as being
the things which make the greatness of a
nation, You can the more safely do so
because your material prosperity is as
sured by the marvellous resources at your
command. All that can be measured IN
figures, be they figures of dollars, or tons,
or bushels, or bales, you have already.
Happy is your lot compared with that of
the states of Europe, for you have no ex-
tcrnal enemy to fear; you need no vast
Meets or armies to protect you. In your
industries and trade there will, Of course,
be ups and downs, but your soil and your
minerals are more than sufficient to nro-
vide an ever expanding employment, with
an ever increasing wealth. The unique
mission which providence seems to have
entrusted to you is to show the world
how immense natural resources may be
used, not In boastfulness or for luxury,
but as a foundation on which to build up
the highest form of natural life; to cuIti-
vate the delights which intellect and tastes
open to u.s. to set the noblest example OF
people not only prosperous and free, but

About ibai Garden City Oiled Road.


One of the features of a driv,
over the sand hills south O
Garden City is the drive over I'll,
oiled road. This stretch of tn,
way. as nearly everyone in this
part OF the country knows. is an
experiment in rOadmaking il
which the state ard county are
interested. The work was done
last fall under Circumstances that
were not wholly ideal and the
condition of the road and the
effect of the oil on the heavy sand
are points Of interest for the ones
making the experiment and the
people who travel over the road.
The road itself is a long black
streak in the. light sand but the
difference in color which marks it
from the other stretches of the
road is not the only point of
differentiation. The oiled road is
more compact and loads are pulled
easier and then there is an alb
sence of the dust that is found all
along the way. The oil catches
the particles of sand and no dust
arises from it.
When the oil was applied it was
thought that the oil soaking into
the sand would become hardened
and that the road would be solid
and dustless. Whether this con-
diLion would have been secured
if the road had been allowed to
set after the application of the
oil has not been determined as
there was no chance to know.
n
Hauling was continued on the
road Immediately after the oil
was spread on the stretch and as
a consequence it vas worked into
the sand and the road was cut up
by the wheels of the heavy
wagons without having a chance
to harden. The road is now cut
up by ruts but in the places where
the horses travel and the ground
is not cut up by the wheels, the
road bed has the appearance that
it was thought the entire road
should have.
Dragging and rolling the
stretch of road would hive a
tendency to ill up the holes and
give the road a more solid sur
face. If this is done and the
road is given a chance to harden,
it will no doubt make a noticeable
Improvement in it.-Garden City
