HANDLING MANURE.

CAR SKIDS IN OIL.
Colchester Avenue Hill Causes Trouble
for AutOmOiilists.

John Daley luckily escaped serious in
Jury Saturday afternoon while driving a
runahout down the Colchester avenue hill
towards the Winooski bridge when the
car slipped in the oil that had been APP
piled to the road as means Of settling
the dust and turned comTetclv around,
striking against the curling. The road
was in the worst imaginable condition
after it had rained heavily into the oil
that was put on Friday. Previous to the
time of Mr.. Daley's accident cars were
sliding all over the road on the steep hill,
several narrowly escaping tho same fate.
Mr. Daley was going down the hill at n
slow rate of speed ana after he had passed
was in He attempted to drive to the
bottom OF the hill but was unable TO keep
the car from skidding. II turned around,
facing up the hill, the rear left wheel
coming up against the east curbmg, FL
the contact the car was thrown ont in the
center Of the road again. Only the smash
ing OF the wheel that hit the curbing pre-
vented further damage, The truck from,
Collisions garage towed the car, which
is owned by Edward Daley, back to this
city.
The street department. under whose di-
rection the oil had been placed on the
road, Immediately sent men to the spot
and the road was given a heavy coat Of
sand. 1t was later deemed advisable
to close the street at Chase street and
send all traffic around by way of Chase
and Barrett streets.

TALC AND SOAPSTONE
Bulk of supply of Former Comes from
Vermont and New York.

The United States has long been the
leading nation in the production of tale
and soapstone, and it's production of late
is increasing. The output of tale for
1915 was 16633G short tons valued at ST.
40l l97 and of soapstone 20,5;5 short tons,
valued at $i903S5, according to j. S. Dill
Ter. of the /. S. Geological Survey.
The best grades of tale, which are use l
in the manufacture of pencils, crayons,
and gas tips, as we'll as of toilet powder,
though found in North Carolina and
Georgia, are not supplied there In suffi-
Gent abundance to meet fully the Ameri-
can demand.
Tale is most extensively used for max
Ing paper, paints, and lubricants, and the
bulk of the supply comes from New York
and Vermont, Pennsylvania. New Jer-
sey, and the Southern States contriba.e
largely to the tale used in the manufac-
ture of toilet powders, paints, soaps, and
lubricants, and in the rubber trade as
well as in finishing leather. Tale of the
lowest grades. much Of it discolored, is u.s.
ed for foundry facings and is widely used
to diminish friction.

its form or hear its motor. Many eyes

LANDSLIDES CONTINUE.
North Bend Street Chnsm Enlarged by
Heavy Rains.

The rain Monday kept the street de-
partment busy with the washout at North
Bend and Park streets which occurred a
week ago when three men were injured
by the sinking Of the North Bend street
bank. Superintendent OF Streets j. w.
Coffey has changed the flow of water
through the main sewer pipes in that vi
entity by building a temporary sewer
through the bank at the head of North
Champlain street to carry off the water
from the sewers In that vicinity and
similar one is being built diagonally from
the head OF Park street across the prem
Uses at 2il Park street, which will care
for the flow from the Park street sewer.
When this work is completed the sewer
at the head Of Park street which caused
the bank to be undermined by the water
flowing from a broken point will be Sc
curely blocked so that a similar accident
can not again occur.
The original chasm has been enlarged
by further landsldes caused by the re-
cent rains and until the land has settled
repair work will be very difficult The
character of the soil, which is composed
almost entirely OF sand also makes the
work of laying the new sewer pipes en-
tremey hard, The street commissioners
have not yet decided whether the chasm
shall be filled or whether it would he bet
ter to change the location Of North Bend
street and build around the excavation.
All Of the streets in the city have been
damaged more or less by the heavy rains
and Superintendent Coffey anticipates
considerable trouble in getting them back
into shape, a good portion of the sand
which was packed against the retaining
walls of the Union station has been wash
ed away without doing any material dam
age.
