Dust. blowing in from the streets. when

one of the arch enemies Of summer COM
fort. How the bureau of public roads
at Washington is 1ghting i. tooth and

is one OF education. With appropriations
given TO them by Congress they expert,

then report results to the state and local
authorities who have charge of the coun-
try'S 2.1J5 600 miles of public roads
The automobile is now the chief offenoer
in this matter OF raising summer dust
and it is the worst destroyer of macadam-
lied roads, whose surface it quickly dis
integrates, besides throwing high into the
air the dust derived from horse traffic.
Tests with an automobile were latefy
made, in this connection by Logan =
Page. director of the office OF pubilc
roads. He had a high-speed car driven
over macadam roads at speeds varied
from ten to sixty miles an hour ana als-
covered that dust, raised by the driving
with speed. whereas that from the 'front.'
wheels was practically the same at all
speeds.
Dust preventives OF all kinds have been
studied by his bureau. Upon macadam
roads they find that water lays the dust,
but that it's action is purely temporary

that the solution of the dust problem on
macadam roads seems to lie in their treat

as refined water gas tars, coke oven tars,
gashouse tars and asphalts. He believes
that as automobile traffic becomes more

be substituted for the loose stone founda-
