Under Perpetual Cloud.

There are people who, through On
stitution mental or physical, have let
themselves fall into the worrying habit,
so that life is under a perpetual cloud.
They are always expecting the worst
things to happen; they indulge in posi-
tive orgies of evil anticipation. One
might even say they luxuriate in it, to
the detriment of their own activities,
the destruction Of their peace, the an
noyance Of their friends. So far as
they cannot help this. they r to be
pitied; but very often they can help
1t, or at least could have helped 1t
before they allowed the habit to take
possession of then.-Exchange.

HOW TO OIL ROADS
Information of Value in Re-
gard to Application.

Sdro 10 hppllCdtlon.
The application OF road oil will
not make bad road good. 1t may
keep good road better and it may
help to keep it in good condition.
according to Dean E. j. McCaust-
land of the engineering school of
the University of Missouri
Oil was first used on earth roads
to lay the dust. 1t is effective for
this purpose if a quality is chosen
that is not too volatile and if it is
properly applied and with sufficient
frequency LubricatiDg oils should
be avoided as worse than useless
and only those chosen which have
a distinctly asphaltic base. which
gives them some binding quality
In addition to acting as a dust
preventive. oils, particularly those
with asphaltic base. serve to form
crust over the entire roadway. thus
shedding water and preventing
mud. Too much oil must be avoid
ed since an excess tends to soften
the surface. From three. .fourths to
one and one fourth gallons per
square yard is usually sufficient for
a single treatment
To make oiling successful the
earth road must first be carefully
drained. properly crowned, and the
surface loosened by light harrow
To depth Of from one and d half
to two inches. After a light appli.
cation Of oil has been absorbed the
surface should again be lightly har-
rowed and this followed by sec.
Oid application, When the full
amount of oil is absorbed. roll with
light roller and when thoroughly
cCmpacted it may be opened to
traffic The road should be kept
smooth to prevent formation of
rurS. The original cost of an oiline
Will approximate $500 a mile.
From a bulletin by H. A. LaRue,
published by the Engineering Ex-
pertinent Station of the University
Of Missouri, the following summary
is taken:
Proper drainage Of both surface
and subsurfaCe.
Heavy grading at least one sea-
son i'll advance of oiling,
Proper shaping of roadway to
form coed crown and cutters.
Maintenance of surface with road
drag for some time previous to
oilIneto insure compact and smooth
roadway.
Careful removal of dust before
,giline. This is of the utmost i'm
pOrtaDCe.
Proper method of applying oil;
includes thorough mixing of oil in
earth.
Use Of right kind of oil. Quality
OF oil can be determined only by
proper tests
Proper maintenance after oiline,
and renewed Oiling as needed.

The United States government is
of course, making preparations for
a long war, 1t wonId be the height
of folly to do otherwise, but the
fact remains that the British, the
French and the United States gov
ernment are extremely hopeful
that the war will be brought to a
successful conclusion sometime
next summer.

ABOUT THE RED CROSS
Things Not Generally known
Abuot the Organization.

l0 the recent Ke0 CrOSS campaign
in this county, the question is fire.
quently asked, What will the Red
Cross do with so much money!"
Henry P. Dawson. chairman of
the Red Cross war council author
izes the following statement:
The Red Cross has appropriated
S1000,000 to provide immediate
necessities in France, to be spent
under the direction of the Ameri-
can Red Cross commission in
France, headed by Major Grayson
NJ P. Murphy a member of the war
council. The Red Cross has also
appropriated 100000 TO purchase
medical supplies and instruments
whereby the Red Cross commission
to Russia may take care of more
urgent needs upon arrival in that
country
The sum of 100000 has been
appropriated to purchase materials
to supply most urgent needs in
Romania. The sum of 100000
has been appropriated for use in
Armenia and $6.500 has been ap-
pTopriated to purchase drugs to be
sent to the Russian Red Cross
Aside from the foregoing. no ap-
preparations have been made by the
war council for work in foreign
countries The need in all our al
lied countries is beyond computa-
ton, and use can be found for all
funds which can possibly be obtain
ed either now or in the future That
very tact impresSeS upon the Red
Cross an extraordinary obligation,
which it fully recognizes, to use the
funds committed to it only after
assuring itself not only that any
proposed expenditure will do good
but that it will accomplish the
greatest good relative to other
deeds which are crying to be sup
piled.
The Red Cross has now at work
in France a commission of experts.
and it has more recently sent to
Russia similar commission. The
expenses of these commissions are
borne privately and are not a
charge on Red Cross funds. 1t is
the purpose of the Red Cross to
send similar commissions to Italy
and Romania and also to appoint
commissioner to Great Britain.
No appropriations for use in any
country will be made until after in
vestisation, and all expert emereen-
cy appropriations will be made by
the war council for specific purposes
and in specific amounts
1t is also the policy of the war
council to withhold any very large
expenditures abroaduntil.i, is made
certain that every necessary prOvis-
ion has been made to take care of
our own soldiers and sailors
| Appropriations as authorized will
he made public Immediately, and
/ frequent statements will summarize
the expenditures of the past, and
set forth the condition of Red Cross
! finances
