r HE experts in both the army and
4 the navy are watching with keen
interest the development of the
heavier-than-air craft. While the of.
ficials are not willing to say much pub
licly about the possibilities OF the use
OF airships in time of war, they are
saying privately that the probability
is that when the next great war comes
the airship will play a more effective
part than battleships. land batteries,
or great masses of troops.
The prediction is freely made by
army and navy officials in private that

reason for this failure to make an ap-
preparation was ever announced. but
It is now pretty well understood that
the experts In both the war and navy
departments suggested that it would
be well TO defer action until the gov
ernment understands better what to
expect of the airship.
Officials in the army and navy de-
partments are greatly impressed with
the performances of Glenn Curtiss
with his aeroplane at Atlantic City re-
Gently. Those performances were not
under the auspices of either the war
department or the navy department,
but agents of each of the fighting arms
were present. and were deeply i'm
pressed with what Curtiss was aba to
do. They have reported to their re-
spective departments that from a
height that could have protected him
reasonably well from a fire directed
at him from either land or water. he
dropped small articles on boats and on
objects on land with remarkable pre-
cision.
Some of the experts from the de-
partments who saw the Curtiss per-
formances came back firmly convinced
that II war should come on tomorrow

A scheme for improving the roads of
Montana by sprinkling them with Il
strip which Is q refuse in the manu-
facture of granulated sugar from sugar
beets will be submitted to the coed
roads convention and Is being widely
discussed in Billings.
The idea Of using refuse strip on
roads grew out Of an experiment made
by tennis club. When the court was
laid out the dust caused considerable
annoyance: also the fact that with
every rain the soil was picked up by
the shoes Of the tennis players.
In looking about for cheap binder
one member suggested refuse strip.
1t answered the purpose admirably.
When mixed with salt and poured
over the ground to depth Of several
inches the ground was rendered imper.
vious to water and the dust was en-
tirely eliminated. 1t worked virtually
as well without salt.
1t Is believed that if the country
roads are properly graded. rolled and
copiously sprinkled with this refuse
strip they could be kept in fair condi-
ton with two such treatments a year
at cost trifling when compared with
