OiIing Macadamized Highways

Road experts agree that an application Of oil
to macadamized highways prevents their rapid
dissolution and is an economy to the taxpayers.
Many of the macadamized streets of Richmond
that have received coatings of oil for two or
three years present surface that at places
appears to be asphalt.
The county commissioners ought to give the
matter of macadamized road maintenance
serious thought, and if the application of oil win
cut down the expense of repairs, the investment.
of 81 200 to 81. 800 on the fifteen miles of high
ways would be the best piece of economy devised
in many years.
Macadamized roads are expensive to build
The county has between $4,000 and $250,000
invested in this kind of road construction. Road
experts know that macadamized road needs
constant attention if it is to be kept in shape.
If oil acts as binder, and road builders say it
does, the county commissioners ought not let the
matter of oiling the highways go by this year
without immediate action.
At least nine counties of Indiana oiled their
macadamized roads last year, among them being
Marion county where roads are put to hard use
by automobiles. If Marion and Lake counties
have found the experiment an economy to the
taxpayers, Wayne county should get in line The
county's investment in macadamized highways
is a big one. Proper conservation of this invest
ment is true economy and direct benefit to the
taxpayer whose money built the roads and now
must help maintain them.

The purchase of two stop watches for mem

with arrests and prosecutions of drivers who
jeopardize life and limb by needless speeding

Some auto owners and drivers in Richmond need
more protection than pedestrians, for the speed
with which they turn some of the corners is
bound to cause an accident accompanied by mi Jury
or death for the drivers and occupants of the
cars. The police might watch the speed with

Money in Rags.

If you have few old skirts some discarded
shirts and suit of clothes, you can get more for
the lot from rag picker than you can from
secondhand dealer. Why? Because unWashed
rags are quoted at 71s cents and washed rags
at 8ls cents. Cotton rags are one of the impor-
tant ingredients in the manufacture OF high
power explosives, and If you had warehouse full
of them, you could sell out and retire.
Two decades ago, the rag bag held high place
in the housewives estimate of household thrift
In the meantime, the rag bag has disappeared
and rags have either been burned or thrown
into the trash box, the result being that before
the war the United States annually was import
ing millions of pounds of rags from Germany and
Belgium. The war stopped this source of supply,
and as a result the domestic supply has been
wiped out and rags are selling at premium
In 1918, 245,113,327 pounds of rags were inn
ported to United States at cost of S3,413, 165.
For the fiscal year ending in June, 1915 the i'm
ports fell off to 98.827, 632 pounds. During the
early stages of the war, rag dealers gave little
heed to the situation, but now, with the impor-
tation practically cut off, the shortage is acute,
and as consequence the price has jumped.
Today, the United States can supply only one
eighth of the rags needed for manufacturing
purposes here.
If Americans had conserved the waste rags,
there would have been no necessity of importing
more than three million dollars worth from Ger
many and Belgium annually. This money might
just as well have stayed in the United States
and helped swell the bank accounts of Americans.
Today, thrifty housewife ought to resurrect the
rag bag, and let it catch. the discarded garments
and cloth wastes of the household. It means
actual money. Why burn rags or throw them
