J EXPERIMENTS TO BE TRIED
Temporary improvement Of Sand
Roads to BE Made by Use Of Straw,
Hay or Wire Grass.

For the first time an experiment In
temporary Improvement OF deep sand
roads by use Of carpet Of straw. hay.
or wire grass. spriGkled with tar or
bituminOus produce. will be tried on
Wisconsin highways IN the vicinity Of
Ria. Columbia county. 1t Is hoped to
devise methods which will fit the road
for travel at small expense, and It is
predicted that this straw carpet will
last three years where traffic is not
heavy. Other experiments in resur-
facing highways are to be tried on
the Bnrabeo'Kilbourn road. Thirty
four hundred sections have been
staked out, and treatment Of each
will be different.

New Use for the x-Ray.

Interesting experiments have been
conducted at Munich and Vienna In the
examination of old portraits with
Roentgen rays. One of the curators
Of the art museum used the X-rays ON
an old Madonna portrait and discov.
cred evidence of later overpainting.
In Vienna Prof. Max Dvorak applied the
same test to a picture Of the Man
tegna school. which had been badly
disfigured by later attempts at recon
struction. The X-ray photograph dis
closed perfectly the original contour
Of the painting.

In the days of peace those of US
who were thrifty practiced it because

the best thing for US; we knew it
would bring success and happiness.
Today we arc practicing a finer,
grander thrift We are sacrificing
for our county. We are denying
ourselves and putting up with priva-

any personal motives but because we
know that Our country needs all the

And because millions upon millions
of US have become thrifty who never

1t is a process of nation wide in
