DustIess Road.

Interesting are number OF e&-
periments now being conducted by
the office of public roads of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, one being the effort to build
a dust proof road by combining the
heretofore little used blast furnace
Stag with asphalt Of tar. This en-
deavor is of the utmost economic i'm
portance, because If the hoped tor
success is attained unsightly noun
tains of Stag will soon disappear
from score Of cities, and a ready
market will be established for vast
ouantities of this material.
For several years the scientists IN
the Office of public roads, as well as
in many of the more progressive
States, have been working to achieve
two objects, the utilization OF by
products in road building and the
development of dustless roads. EX-
periments already conducted indicate
that crushed rock, combined with tar
or asphalt preparations, bids fair to
solve in a measure the dustless road
problem. Exhaustive laboratory
tests have indicated that Stag In COM
bination with preparations OF tar or
asphalt may be made to serve as a
substitute for crushed rock. Sec
tions of experimental road are now
being constructed which will subject
the materials to actual service test.
IF the results are as satisfactory as
the preliminary conditions indicate
the slag-asphalt or slag-tar roads
will realize the hope of the scientists
for both the utilization of by-products
and the attainment of dustless road.

TO Save RESOURCES
The Conservation Commission
Completing inventory
GOVERNORS MEET NEXT WEEK
Movement Inaugurated by President
Roosevelt Nearing Fruition-Com-
mission to Hold Joint Meeting
With Governors of States Making
an Inventory "a Tremendous Task.

Washington, Special.-With the
opening day of the frst fall meeting
Of the National Conservation Commis-
sion, the movement inaugurated by
President Roosevelt for conserving
the nations resources, is nearing fru-
ition. At Tuesdays session the first
steps will be taken towards putting
into tangible shape the results of the
six months. hard work on taking
stock of the country's waters, forests,
lands and minerals.
Next week after the commission
has gone over the inventory. it will
hold joint meeting in Washington
with the Governors of the States and
Territories, or their Representatives.
At the meeting the Governors will
discuss the work which the National
Conservation Commission has been
carrying on during the summer and
fall The outcome of this work is
the first thorough inventory of the
nations natural resources the FEEDER
al government has ever made. The
inventory is now practically COM
plete. On this inventory, which the
conservation commission expects to
lay before the Governors, the report
which President Roosevelt has re-
quested the commission to make to
him not later than January !, will be
based.
With less than six months with
which to make up the inventory, the
four branches into which the COM
mission is divided, aided by the CO.
operation Of the government depart
ments have brought together what is
probably the most useful collection of
facts about the material things on
which national industry and pro-
gress are based that has ever been
assembled at one time. Reports pre-
senting these facts and pointing out
their significance have been prepared.
These reports, summarized and in
dexed, will be submitted to the COM
mission at its present meeting.
The work is now practically done,
The facts are there, in dollars and
cents, tons of coal, board feet of tim
Der, acre feet and horsepower of wa
ter. acres of land. And the possible
reform measures have been weighed.
The fiscal report to the President will
be the necessary supplement to the
addresses at the White House confer
ence. The note Of these addresses
was a note of warning. The report
is expected to show that the warning
must be needed if the exhaustion of
natural resources it not, one day, to
impoverish the nation and it will also
undoubtedly bring out how the coun-
try's resources can be developed so as
to last the longest possible time and
serve the greatest good to the peo-
pie.
Next week will be conservation
weeks in Washington. Besides the
meeting of the Governors the Country
Life Commission will hold a meeting.
The Southern Commercial Congress
will be in session December 7 and s,
and will then merge with the Nation
al Rivers and Harbors Congress,
which will hold its annual meeting
December 9 to II.
