OIL FOR ROAD Improvement
When Properly Applied Good Surface
10 Observation-Disclosures Being
Made In Missouri.

By E. T. MCAUSTLAND, Missouri A.
ricultural College.)
Attempts are now being made In
several parts of the state to keep dust
down by the use of road oils. Super
visors should be careful to investigate
the quality of oil they use before put
ting it on the highways. 1t is not gen.
orally understood that there are two
distinct types of oil on the market
One of these oils has an asphalt base
which serves as a binder on the road
as soon as the lighter oil evaporates.
The other has a paraffin base and Is
to all intents and purposes lubricat'
ing oil. This kind Of oil, however, does
not hold the road hard, or is not bind.
ing. 1t leaves the roads nusty and
sticky.
Road oiling, properly done, gives 8
good surface. The City Of Joplin has
done some of this work on its roads
that have already carried heavy traf
fc more than a year and now look a
good as asphalt pavement.
Any MissOurian may send samples
of road oils to the Engineering Expert
ment Station University Of Missouri
Columbia, and have them examined al

Everybody agrees that the surface
Of a road must be oval in its contour"
says Farm and Fireside, 'but not all
understand that this oval ought to be

permit. With brick or concrete con-
struction the oval may be very fiat, be-
cause the traffic makes no ruts to car

nor does the pavement soften and de-
velop depressions when kept in con-
tact with water. But broken stone

ceptible to penetration by water, and
subject to great damage If frozen
while soaked, must be given higher
oval; and for gravel roads a still
sleeper pitch is demanded.
"As for earth roads, the steepness
must be governed by, the combined
influence of number Of factors. Per-
haps the leading factor is the quality
of the earth in each particular case.
And next might be placed the pres
ence or absence Of 'seeps' or 'spouts; :
while another Of these vital factors
would be the longitudinal pitch of the

SIX YOUNGSTERS ON HIKE:
PARENTS GROW APPRENTICESHIP

Marion Wedge, Alma Christensen,
Dorothy MacLachlan, Martha ErW1g,
Alice Whiting and Catherine Mckee,
ten years of age, have all the other
mixers beaten so far this year, as
they walked to Birchmont hotel Sat
urday afternoon, leaving Bemidji at
3 O'Clock and returning at 1880
O'Clock. Early in the afternoon the
children met at one OF their homes
and later were given permission to
take a walk to the north end of the
city, a way familiar to all, but on
the way an imp of suggestion met
them and straightway they decided
Birchmont for them. The children
kept together, excepting for short
distance, when Mr.. Cochran picked
up part of the group and gave them
a ride, but they were loyal and af-
ter going a little way insisted on
getting out and waiting for the
others. On the way back the party
split, two coming down the state
road, the other four down the Irvine
avenue road.
About o'cock anxious mothers
began a frantic telephoning trying
to locate their young daughters but
fathers started out the Irvine avenue
road, meeting the four at the fair
grounds. One of the mothers start
ed out the state road. The two COM
ing this way had attempted short
cut Just north of town and the path
didn't seem to lead them Alright, but
the mother kept calling, finally get
ting an answer, and the six children
were soon all safe at home, a little
footsore and weary but next morn
ing all were up and doing the same
as usual.
One mother met her venturesome
young daughter with, Never again,
and she promptly replied, Il d9nt
want to go there again. Another
daughter came in serenely smiling
and said, Mother, I'm sorry l was
late, hut we walked to Birchmont
and it took longer than we thought
