People in various places will be 1 liable to eat that peck of dust during the coming summer, for there is scarcity of the light oil heretofore used in street sprinkiing to lay the dust and preserve road construction. In many cities there is no remedy at hand, away from the paved sections, unless there be return to the old time water cart street sprinkling service. and that would be an expensive move, as the old watering carts have passed on and new ones would have to be built for the emergency. The highway commission
 CTS of Westerly asUertained early the scarcity of the light oil, and finding that 1t was impossible to secure a supply for Westerly, made plans to protect the people from the dust nuis- ance and at the same time protect the macadam highways The. paved sec tions can be kept well swept, and the occasional washing down through fire hose will do the rest.

The tarvfa company will bring the oil from Taunton in motor tanks especially designed for the work Walter Gibbons was adjusted guilty of the non support of his family, con sisting of his wife and six children. in the Third districs court several weeks ago, and he was sent to the state farm.

Monday morning the baby died of loathsome disease. evidently in herited Two more of the children are saidl to be afflicted witil the, same disease. An examination satisfied phy- sieians that the disease was not in herited from the father, but may have come from the generation passed away and related to one of the parents.
