alone never makes Il good road except
In wet. The more the drainage Of a
sand road Is improved the more de.
plorable becomes its condition. Moth.
Ing will ruin one quicker than to dig
ditch on each side and drain all the
water away. The best way, therefore,
to make such Il road firm Is to keep Il
constantly damp. This can be done by
planting shade trees along its sides
to prevent the evaporation Of water
or by growing upon the surface OF
such sand roads thick turf, prefer
ably Bermuda grass. Roads running
through loose sand may be improved
by mixing clay with the sand and
slightly crowning the surface.
For the temporary improvement Of
earth or sand roads any strong fbrous
substance, especially If 1t holds mois-
ture, such as refuse Of sugar cane or
sorghum and even common straw,
fax, swamp grass or pine needles, will
be useful, Spent tan bark is some
'i"iSo DSHVuNi idi, anu NOOu uDtT III Nllt
form Is excellent. Enough sand or
earth should be thrown over such
roads to keep them damp and protect
them from catching fire.
Earth Is composed Of small, irregu-
lar fragments which touch each other
ut points, leaving voids between.
When the earth Is broken up and pul.
verified these volds are almost equal
In volume to the solid particles, and
AS result the earth will absorb al.
most an equal volume Of water. In
the building or maintaining Of earth
roads II is therefore very desirable
that these small, irregular particles be
pressed and packed into rs small a
space as possible IN order that sur.
plus water may not pass In and de.
stroy the stability Of the road. To
this enh rolling Is very beneficial. The
work Of maintaining dirt roads will DO
much increased by lack Of care In
properly rolling the surface

A DAY In GARY LAND
Marshal Here.

]. 2. Fletcher. United States postal
inspector of Indianapolis. arrived IN
Gary yesterday forenoon for the pur-
pose Of Investigating the rifiing OF a
mail sack last week
Inspector Fletcher spent the great
er part Of the day at Indiana Harbor,
where he investigated the mail picked
UP by william Hecker. who found the
sack and its contents. Although prac-
tically all the mail was rihed. it is not
thought that much money was lost.
only three registered letters were miss
ing, but other letters of Importance,
although torn open. were not destroyed.
Mr.. Fletcher left again last evening
for Indianapolis, and did not volunteer
any information as to what steps would
be taken in order TO apprehend the
guilty person.
It will be remembered that early last
week William Hecker, who is a Gary
contractor. but lives in Indiana Har-
Dor. found a torn and rifed mail sack
two miles south of the Lake Shore
tracks. It had been placed on the post
for the afternoon train. but was never
taken aboard. Whether the train miss
ed 1t or whether somebody carried the
sack away before the arrival of the
train, IS at this time unknown.
