Having cleaned everything from a.
ladies handkerchief to circus tent

better. the Panhandle Laundry base

thing which needed attention al pre-
sent was the Amarillo Hardware ball
team. which has been playing some
weeks and probably needed clean.
Ing as the hard wear through
which they have been passing lately
had begun To tell on them some. so
with this though the Panhandle boys
invited them over to the city lot and
proceeded to clean the bunch on last
Monday afternoon. just about SIX

Sir James Outram, known as the
. Bayard OF India, was mighty hunt
err and an accomplished swordsmaa
He once performed the hazardous feat
OF killing a tiger with his sword and
from the back Of his horse General
Nicholson performed similar feat
He rode round and round the tiger at a
gallop, gradually narrowing the circle
until at last he was near enough TO de-
liver his blow. He had only the one
blow and II he had failed would have
been slain. The explanation of the feat
is that the tiger does not spring upon
the horseman during the circling proc
ess because he is watching his opportu.

closer upon him he becomes bewlldered
by the strange maneuver, so unlike
that of any hunter he has ever encoun

HOW TO BUILD :
A Shell ROAD
A Surface Binder Is Absolutely
Essential.
LAXlTY OF THE OLD METHOD.

No Economy In Using This Kind of
Road Surfacine Unless Proper Care
Is Taken to Roll and Wet II Thor
oughIy--Raw Shells Best.
For many localities along the sea-
coast shells have proved to be both
convenient and valuable for use in sur.
facing roads Their maximum value
Is had for moderate traffic roads and
over sand. but they have also been
used to advantage. where cheaply had
and where better material was expen.
sive. over clayey soils.
The usual practice has been to sim
ply spread, without much care and
from piles dumped in the roadway, q
layer of the shells over the unprepared
natural roadbed, leaving the traffic to
consolidate the shells, which II grad
ually and reluctantly did, says Major
w w. Crosby in the Good Roads Mag
azine. The succeeding season perhaps
some little care was used with add.
tonal shells to patch and even up the
sisted In this procedure after a consld-
cradle period has frequently resulted
In very satisfactory road surface IN
der certain conditions.
II required. however, a considerable
expense for patching TO be kept in
good condition, especially as the
amount OF traffic increased, and In
many cases the use OF shells has been
abandoned because of this expense and
of the decrease resulting lately In the
proportionate prices of stone and shells.
After constructing and maintaining
several roads under the above descrlb-
ed methods for a period of several
years | became impressed with the
lack of economy thus had and with
the belief that many OF the defects

potholes or the sinking" of the shells

India Rubber Tree Fruit.

The fruit of the india rubber tree Is
somewhat similar TO that OF the Rici-
nus communis. the castor oil plant,
though somewhat larger. The seeds
have not disagreeable taste and yield
a purplish oil II is fairly good sub
stltute for linseed oil, though 1t dries
less rapidly. Mixed with copal blue
and turpentine, It makes a good var
nish. The oil may also be used in the
manufacture of soaps and photographic
inks. The seeds are somewhat like
tiny chestnuts. although darker in col.
or. The Indian girls are fond OF wear
ing bracelets and necklets made Of
them.

A PERFECT SHE'LL ROAD IN GEORGIA.

PEhfECI SHELL ROAD IN GEOhGlA.
when used over clay subgrades-could
be avoided by different methods.
In using shells over clean sand roll
ing OF the subgrade may be impossible
and is unnecessary provided any fills
OF the sand have been properly settled
All that may be necessary are trim
ming and evening up of the subgrade,
so as to secure uniformity in the thick
ness of the shell layer without waste.
Neither is 1t important to prevent a
moderate churning up Of the sand sub
grade into the first layer of shells I'M
der the roller This can safely be dis
regarded when not excessive and the
sand is not so loamy or clayey as to
possess marked capillarity. In use Of
shells over clayey or loamy subgrades,
however. the specifications should be
strictly adhered to. Further. on some
clays a layer of clean sand from three
to six inches thick between the shells
and the subgrade can be advantageous
ly used.
10 secure satisfactory results plenty
Of water must be used with the rolling
IL is practicable TO SO bind a shell
road by sanding, watering and rolling
as to have 1t ring under horse traffic
identically as does first class macad
am. However, the usual practice is to
neglect this important feature and to
depend on the adheslveness OF the
powdered shells to remedy a lack OF
binding. Shell roads built with insult
icient binding will always be lumpy
and expensive TO maintain.
Fresh raw shells are to be preferred
for these surfaces. though steamed
shells will give fair results. The
steaming seems to take some OF the
toughness and life out Of the shells.
Dredged shells. procurable In many
places, have never been used by me,
but II seems that an excess OF mud
with them would be detrimental and
should be avoided as much as possible,
especially where frost action on the
surfacing is to be expected.
The result Of the proper use OF good
shells is a most satisfactory surface
for light traffic. IL IL pleasantly resil-
lent. smooth. though not objectionably
slippery. and attractive IN appearance
and especially so on DARK nights. when
its whiteness may be q decided sdvaD
taee to the driver.
Further. the washings from the road
surface encourage a splendid growth
OF sod on even the sandiest OF shout
ders and thereby increase the effective
width OF travel way.
