4 SUBSTANTIAL
ROAD OF DIRT
Illinois Commission Builds One
Without Use Of Stone.
CONSTRUCTION METHOD EASY

The Severe Wear Caused by Auton,o-
biles Has Made 1t Necessary TO Find
Something Stronger Than the Mac
adam Road-Experimsnts With Mix.
ture of Dirt and Oil Snow Results.
Macadam roads have been the worlds
standard for many years, but under
conditions of modern traffic they have
so quickly worn away that in the
country which boosted the enduring
military roads of Napoleon a con
gress of the road engineers of the
world was called to discuss means Of
preventing them from going up In
smoke or dust. The iron tire of the
horse drawn vehicle rolled and com
pacted the limestone road. The pneu-
matte tire of the motorcar sucks up
the dust and draws it into the air to
blow away. 1t was formerly compac-
ton by traffic; now it is suction.
This fact has been strikingly DEM
onstrated by the work of the state
LpihIbiSSibu Vi 1ilIuplS- vie
of the best miles of macadam road
ever constructed. and surface bound
with gravel of peculiar cementing
quality. has been ripped up and blown
away down to the large, sharp pointed
rocks that constitute the basic course.
Other experiments with oil and tar
have proved the binding and protect
ing properties of those substances.
Value of Oil.
The value Of oil of heavy asphalt
base-the residuum after refining out
the volatile oils-as a binder for rock
roads led to experiments with 1t in the
construction of dirt roads without the
use of stone. The idea was to com
pact and bind the dirt so that it would
be waterproof and as wearproof as
possible-in other words. to bind the
particles of dirt together so that trac-
ton would produce little dust. One
of the most striking experiments with
oiled black mud was made at Bement.
in Piatt county. and herewith we re-
turn to our illustrations. The Bement
section ranks among the richest in
central Illinois. 1t is rich because ii
is fairly bottomless. 1t was low lying
and swampy in the olden days before
the coming of the steam dredge and
the tile and its roads were as impass.
ible as that type of land affords
1t is disable all the year round for
maximum loads. it is practically dust
less, it requires no dragging or scrap
ing, and it has resiIiency that saves
horse and vehicle and adds much to
the comfort of the occupants of wagon
or carriage. After more than a years
test, the experiment must be pronounc-
ed a great success. and the best men
about cement, who have made a study
of roads for many years, regard it as
the solution of the problem of build
ing mudless roads in the black prairie
soils.
The method of construction was sim
pie. The road was plowed six inches
deep and the dirt scraped to each side
In the bed thus made layer of oil
was sprinkled, the oil in this expert
ment being what is usually called sc
to S. per cent asphalt oil. After the
oil was applied two inches of dirt were
scraped back into the roadway and oil
and soil were thoroughly disked to-
gether
Use of Tamper.

Use of Tamper.

Then followed a tamper, an nipple
ton of which bears closely set prongs
about ten inches long, somewhat like
the spikes attached to the wheels OF
a steam roller to tear up the road, only
longer and rounded on the end. This
tamper does the work its name indi-
cates-it completes the mixture and
the oil and dirt and lamps it down
After its use more oil and dirt were
added until three layers had been ap
piled, and then the steam roller com
pleted the work.
About two and half gallons of oil
were used to the square yard. This
oil sells, according to quality, at from
4 TO Z cents per gallon. Taking
cents as an average and building a
road sixteen feet wide. which is wider
than is necessary for the oil, we have
a cost for oil of about $1,175 per mile
The labor cost is to be added to that
1t is certainly the cheapest muGl2ss
road that has yet been devised. as the
rock roads run quickly into large mon

He KILLED
BROTHER

REMARKABLE CASE IN JAPAN
WHERE A JAP KILLS TWIN
BROTHER AT HIS REQUEST
WAS DYING FROM CANCER.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrRr.l

Toxic, June 24.-Killing his
brother, because he loved him well,
is the gist of a police case concluded
here today, which casts a curious
light on Japanese habits of thought,
and is a record of the empire. Mutsu
Kato, the murderer-by-request, has
been practically freed by the district
judge, and the Toxic press is unani-
nous in praise of his verdict.
Mutsu Kato and his brother, Sura
Kato, were twins, and loved each 9TH
er with an affection rare even among
the Japanese.
When Sura became stricken with
cancer of the stomach he asked his
brother to kill him, pleading that to
be decapitated thus by a loving hand
would be the greatest pleasure he
could enjoy. For days Mutsu refused
the strange request, but finally con-
sented, and, after a heart-rending
parting, slew his brother with a
sword. Immediately afterward the
slayer reported the whole matter to
the police.
When brought to trial, the execu-
toner, through love, wept bitterly, He
was sentenced to two years impris-
onment, but the execution of the
sentence was postponed by the judge
for three years. The trial was a rec.
ord, no m%anslaughter case under sim.
liar circumstances ever before hav'
ing been tried in Japan.

GEORGE
REALLY WIRED
To OUR BILLY

The horse editor received a grape
vine dispatch this morning from
Washington saying that King
Georges dispatch to President Taft
felicitating him on his coronation, as
sent over the wires of the Western
Union was a fake. According to our
informant what George really said
to President Taft was.
Hello, Bill! your splendidly fla
vored taffy at hand. Same to you.
Coronation a frost; not up to a ball
game for enthusiasm; crown was a
misft, too large. Hair oil was ap-
piled, but not needed, as the crown
hit my ears without it, and, say, Bill,
the hair oil smelled like germicide.
Do you think the managers of the
function thought l was buggy" or
was it an attempt to assassinate ME?
The queen enjoyed it; tail of her
gown so long it didn't get home till
next morning, and no stepped on
it, either. Crowd was immense, and
most of them missed their dinners,
but it didn't matter, as they are used
to it. The blowout cost a wad, but
the people pay the bills. Notice you
Americans are great toadies to Roy
atty" Wish your folks 1875 years age
had been more like them, I would
have been wearing your shoes as well
as my crown now, though they, like
the crown, would be too large for me
Saw John Hays Hammond in the
crowd. but had no use for him since
he ditched "Oom Paul" Sorry you
sent him, for he can't slide on my eel
lar door or swing on my gate, no
while I am at home. Mary is tired
and the Prince of Wales looks a yea
older. This is his birthday, and alsC
a joke. See! Well, so long, ant
hope you will have another little cor
onation of your own two years from
now. GEORGE"
