the road is hard, smooth, dustless, and
without any ruts or pockets, according
to Professor Gearhart.
Where there is a pocket in the road,
water will gather after every storm.
Oil works better on sandy soils than
on clay or heavy loans. Loan soils
may be helped by sprinkling a light
coating of sand over the oiled surface.
After the first year it is better to APP
ply from one-quarter to one-third of a
gallon of oil to each square yard of
surface in the spring and the same
amount again in the fall.
For laying the dust on city streets,
oiling may be as economical and more
satisfactory than water, particularly
if the soil is sandy. When city streets
Gre oiled it is best to cover the cross
walks with dust or dirt so that they
will not be covered with oil. When
the oiling process is finished the dust
or dirt may be swept away. Surface
oiled streets are not satisfactory if the
soil is clay or loan, for the oily dust
blows about and is carried into build
ings and upon walks.

War and Theology.

Even In the theological seminaries
they are cutting courses to meet the
conditions imposed by the war.
Rev. Ward G. Meehan, young
priest Of the Brookly diocese, was
one of the first to offer his services as
an army chaplain at the declaration of
war, and has been accepted.
He is taking a postgraduate course
In theology. at the Catholic university
In Washington, and he is awaiting
his call to active service.
If called before the completion of
his course, he will be given his full
credit marks, just as If they have been

colleges when they have sacrificed the
closing days of their college year to
their sense of obligation to national
duty.

LIFT YOUR c0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or callus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter:
wear shoes a size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
Or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

MOISTURE FOR ROAD MAKING
There Is Certain Water Content at
Which Soil Packs Hard-Remove
All Grass and Weeds.

Road making is largely matter of
moisture control. When soil contains
too much water it becomes mud, and
comes dust. But there is a certain
moisture content at which soil packs
hard. And this is just about the
amount of moisture that a soil will
hold readily. This usually can be
maintained in a road that has good
drainage, that is we'll crowned so the
water will run off when it rains and
that is free from grass and weeds.
These if allowed to grow, will soon
draw the moisture out of the soil and
so remove the binding material.

WHERE OILED HIGHWAYS PAY
Soils--Oil Sometimes More Sat-
isfactory Than Water.

Oiled earth roads should not be re-
garded as a permanent improvement
but are much better than common
earth roads, in the opinion of w. s..
Gearhart, professor of highway engi-
neering.
"Oiled roads do not require so much
dragging as ordinary earth roads,"
said Professor Gearhart. "They shed
water better and do not become SO
dusty. Although oiled roads are not
so satisfactory as gravel roads, they
may be a help in developing good
roads sentiment"
The best results from oiling are to
be obtained by applying the oil when

the next there was the news that hfa.
LIE Moyne had been only taking holt
day in the gas office and that he was
really very great surgeon and had
saved DIR. Max Wilson.
The Street, which was busy at the
time deciding whether to leave the old
sidewalks or to put down cement ones
had one evening of mad excitement
over the matter-of K, not the side
walks-and then had accepted the new
situation.
But over the news of KS approach

made a resolve to keep K, if possible,

and still goes about in the same shabby

Max Wilson.
Sidney Page.
The baritone was still singing; but
now it was ''Pm twenty-one, and she's
eighteen" The light was gone from
KS face again. After all, the Street
meant for him not so much home as it
meant Sidney. And now, before very
long, that book of his life, like others,
would have to be closed.
He turned and went heavily into the
little house.
Christine called to him from her lit
tie balcony:
Il thought l heard your step outside.
Have you time to come in?"
X. went through the parlor and stood
in the long window. His steady eyes
looked down at her.

complained. And, when he did not

the balcony.

She did not pursue the subject. Her
thoughts had flown ahead to the little
house without X, to days without his
steps on the stairs or the heavy creak
of his big chair overhead as he dropped
into it.
But perhaps 1t would be better If he
went. She had her own life to live.
She had no expectation of happiness.
but, somehow or other, she must build
on the shaky foundation of her mar

with no active misery. Misery implied
affection, and her love for Palmer was
quite dead.

HAS it occurred to you, K, that Sid

He stopped in front of her.
"She's had a great anxiety"
"She has no anxiety now. Max is

"I'm not quite sure, but I think I
know. She's lost faith in Max, and
she's not like me. II knew about
Palmer before married him. It's all
rather hideous-I needn't go into it.
But Sidney has more character than T
have. Max isn't what she thought he
was, and doubt whether she'll marry
him."
K. glanced toward the street where
Sidney's name and Max's lay open to
the sun and to the smiles of the Street.
Christine might be right, but that did
not alter things for him.
