Case Stout of Mcpherson, third son Of
Dr.. and Mrs.I. w. Stout of this CITY. has
become an inventor and is on the road to
fame and wealth. His invention is fuel
oil burner and is now on exhibition at
w. E. Stout's harness shop in this civ.
The oil is sold by the Uncle Sam Oil
Company that is doing an extensive bust
ness IN eastern Kansas and comes at the
rate Of about FIVE cents a gallon. A

stove at the CRATE or bottom and the oil
is conveyed through a pipe fed from a
tank. The feed IS from the top Of the
stove and is regulated by valve. The
invention Is success and ought to be a
good seller. The device sells for $50.

The Result OF Experience.

The Massachusetts highway COM

tho most intelligent observation, rec
ord and study. that II does not pay
to put on the macadam thick enough

building the road the effort should
be made to intelligently protect 1t

Elimination of Grade Crossing.

Grade crossings are admittedly a
menace to public safety as they are a
danger to the operation Of trains and
to people crossing the tracks, says
the Good Roads Magazine. They
should, then. II is conceded. be done
away with. for the number OF acci-
dents resulting from them are con
stantly increasing In number. The
latter is due principally to increased
traffic on the country roads. When
the railroads were first built In
sparsely settled communities the ele-
ment OF danger was not the factor
that It is to-day. In foreign countries
grade crossings are not tolerated,
and they will eventually have~to go
In this country. No comprehensive
plan OF road improvement can be
successfully carried out without do
ing away with them. In connection
with the bonding plan In the State of
New York for highway Improvement,
II has been proposed by certain rail-
road interests that part OF the
money thus appropriated should be
used in removing grade crossings.
While such a suggestion is open to
the criticism of selfishness on the
part OF the railroads. there Is much
to be said In regard to the justness
and equity of their claim. At any
rate the grade crossing should be
eliminated.

AUToMoBLEsA AND GOOD ROADS.
Influence Of the Horscless Wagon in
the Making of Highways.

The crowning glory OF automobile
touring, however, lies In the demand
II has created, In all parts Of the
world where motor cars are being
used for pleasure or business pur-
poses, for good roads, writes II. p.
Burchell In the Outing Magazine.
Here In America the good roads
movement, within recent years, has
become question of national I'm
portancs With the exception of q
few States, notably New Jersey and
Massachusetts,, the subject OF better
roads IVES the last thought that gave
the Legislators the least particle OF
trouble. The Automobile Club OF
America, In Its younger days eXpend
ed a trmendous amount OF argumen-
tative energy In endeavorlng TO con-
vince the lawmakers OF New York
that money expended on good roads
was good business investment.
Their appeals brought out few
thousand dollars, somewhat grudg-
ingly given. Finally the generous
sum OF 100000 was appropriated.

similar good results n other States.
The Governor OF Illinois. In his mes
sage, gave n marked illustration OF
the growing demand for better roads
in the West when he made strong
plea for the expenditure OF more
money and careful thought upon
road building. His statement that
barely 2 per cent. OF the Illinois
roads were suitable for traffic at all
periods OF the year was no exaggera-
ton and scores OF other states could
show no higher average. Depart
ments OF highways have been estab-
lished In California. Idaho. Mime

Tennessee. North Carolina. Nebras-
ka and in several OF the Eastern
