summer, but also makes it brittle and
crack in winter, so that tar-bound ma
cadam roads cannot be expected and
are not likely in these circumstances
to withstand the strains to which they
are subjected by fast and heavy mo-
tor traffic for any period Of reasonable
length.
Again, tarred macadam is by no
means dustless, and the question has
recently been raised as to whether the
dust from roads, when treated with
tar, is injurious to the eyes, but as
tarred dust. like ordinary dust, can
produce only mechanical irritation
upon the mucous membrane of the
eye, and in view of the fact that the
dust from a tarred road is naturally
considerably less than from road not
SO treated, 1t is therefore obvious that
tarring roads is likely to tend to d.
minish the chance of injury to the
eyes.
Climatic conditions have so impor-
tant bearing upon the life of roads
1t Is no exaggeration to say that at
least so per cent. of the wear of wa
ter-bound macadam roads is due to
weather-that, knowing this, and ad-
hitting that macadam is the right ma
terial for the construction of main
country roads, 1t is necessary only for
the road engineer to consider the best
material to employ as a waterproof
binder capable of withstanding
climatic conditions for binding the
crust of such macadam roads SO
as to make each piece of stone
adhere to its neighbor and at
the same time be able to withstand
any tendency toward disintegration,
the ideal binder for this purpose being

New York.-Before the Merritt
joint legislative committee the other
day, Fire Marshal William Beers tes-
tilted that the problem of fire proven

fronts the country. Recent figures
show" he continued, that fires are
rapidly increasing all over the United
States. This year the loss has al
ready gone s30,0OO.OOO beyond that for
1909. At least Is per cent. of the
cases that come before me are of
incendiary origin, but in 80 per cent
we cannot establish proof"
The marshal agreed with Chief
Croker that careless housekeepers
were responsible for the larger pro-
portion of fires, but added: Careless

London Engineer Recommends II
for Macadam Roads.
Points Outs Its Advantages Over Coal
Tar Spraying and ResIsts Wealth
er-is More Durable and
Economical.

London. Nathan, an engineer
who gives especial attention to road
making, expresses the belief that Gu
ban asphalt is destined to take the
place of tar as binder of macadam
roads. He defines the essential de-
siderata" of satisfactory road as
smooth appearance and even surface
following the Gambler of the road,
which must be sanitary. dustless.
noiseless and nonslippery." Mr.. Ma
than also stipulates that the ideal
road must not only have these quail
ties, but be reasonable in initial cost
and above all in maintenance.
Many of the present generation will
remember the phrase, Electricity is
only in its infancy" says Mr.. Nathan
We'll, today the road board is in its
Infancy, and | have no doubt that 1t
will grow into as fine and healthy a
child as electricity did. Like other in
fants, the road board is just beginning
to speak, and the first word that it
has been taught, is tar Now hope
1t VIII very soon grow up and learn
words OF two syllables, such as
asphalt and then be able to expound
to road engineers the real meaning
OF this much misunderstood word.
This is the tar age, and, as an in
different palliative, tar is serving it's
purpose today as temporary expedi-
ent; but something much more perma-
nent than the primitive methods of
tar spraying or even tar macadam is
required for. the future, and maintain
that permanency will be obtained only
from the adoption as waterproof road
crust binders of either Lake Trinidad
asphalt or Cuban asphalt, but prefer
ably Cuban asphalt, owing to its hav-
Ing a higher melting point and its
ability to withstand the rotting effects
of water
Although this country may con-
graduate itself on being ahead of the
continent In the matter of roads, It
still has good deal to learn from
America. where asphaltum base oils
are used on a very large scale with
good results as a palliative for spray
Ing on roads In preference to crude or
refined tar, such as Is in general use
here.
Furthermore, in America asphalt
tums are now nearly always employed
as binders in constructing macadam
roads, and naturally this has thorough.
y demonstrated and proved that as
phaltums are far more economical for
this purpose. Such roads, even on
steepish gradients. provide a surface
which affords a good foothold for
horses, and prevents motor skidding
also, owing to the nature of the bin
der, such roads remain quiet, elastic
and resilient under all extremes of
temperature and under the most try
Ing mixed traffic conditions.
Very little reflection is necessary
to convince even layman in road
matters that coal tar varies too much
IN quality and is, per Sc, far too sus-
ceptible to the changes of climate and
temperature to be of any real perma-
nent service as a road binder. Not
only does It soften the macadam in

The dignity of domestic service will be
revived just so soon as the housewives learn
the much-neglected lesson that the girl who
works in the home is not mental and
should not be treated as such.
Why is it that well-to-do wife may per
form her household duties without lowering
her dignity, while when the same work is
done by so-called servant it is considered
mental labor? And the servant must enter
by the rear door even though it be necessary
to walk through an alley or dark cellar.
And, if she be allowed company, she must
entertain them in the kitchen.

there is enough moisture in the
ground right now to produce q
crop of wheat. After the recent
heavy rains, says Mr.. Gaines, every
farmer should drag his wheat and
oat fields as soon as the surface
gets so that a harrow will work. A
crust should not be allowed to
form. The dragging of the field
at intervals of a week or ten days
until the grain is up ten inches
will keep down the weeds and
perserve fully so per cent of the
moisture. If any farmer enter
tains doubts about dragging grain
it would be we'll to experiment
with only a few cases and then
note results.
