cent observations prove true.
The sweet primrose that peeps be-
meath the thorn contains a hitherto
unsuspected danger equal to that of
the much less popular poison ivey. In
deed, there are over 100 beautiful and
enticing blooms where souls unbodied

for some of their admirers.
Happily. more persons escape death

Ill with such ailments. In like manner
more lovers OF green willows and Jack

fall victims to them.

RJIILDING THE SAND
OIL" ROADS
Earnest Effort Made at Sebring
To Test Durability of Much
Discussed Material.

Much of the road interest III
DeSota county centers at pres
ent in the so-called "sand-oil"
streets being constructed in the
town of Sebring. These streets
are being laid at actual cost by
the Jandon Engineering Com
pany, Savannah concern that
is makig a bid for this class Of
work throughout the country.
The expense is being born by
the Sebring Company which IS
responsible for the existence OF
the town Of that name.
The cost of this work in Sc
bring. despite the crude hand
methods of heating and mixing,
is extremely low because of the
existence of the proper variety
OF sand along the sides of the
streets, but with all other ele-
ments of the work fixed as to ex-
pense. it will be a matter of very
small moment to figure the addi-
tional expense of obtaining and
transporting the sand to any
given point.
All the commissioners of De-
Soto county, as wei las practi-
cal good roads advocates from
various sections of the country,
have made trips to Sebring to
see this work as it progresses
and to test the finished streets.
Parties made up Of men interest
ed in road work in other coun-
ten. particularly Polk, also have
iourneyed to the little town on
the ridge TO get first hand knowl-
edge of the material and how it
is laid. 1t is real missionary
project in the mater of good
roads.
his road is laid on a plain
sand foundation. smoothed and
slightly arched in the middle.
Two layers of combination ma
terial are used, each about three
inches deep after rolling. This
leaves the finished road with a
crown in the middle. gently
slopiing to either side. not only
protecting the surface bue she'd
ding water away from the road
bed itself and protecting the un-
derbedding fro merosion.
When completed the sand
oil road closely resembles sheet
asphalt, although a little darker
than that material. 1t has a re-
siliency that assures good foot
ing but is not soft enough fol
shod shoes with ordinary loads
to pull, to damage or to pene-
trate' For automobiling it is
ideal, the smooth tread tires
seeming to hold and grip the
surface much more closely than
they grip asphalt. Wet wealth.

asphalt although skidding is
possible at high speed with
smooth tires.
