Involves the Welfare of Not Only the

Washington. D. c., July 21.-The ma
tional petroleum war service COM
mittee has been asked by the oil
division Of the United States fuel adj
ministration TO cooperate in the de-
velopment Of comprehensive plan TO
stabilize the price OF crude oil and to
establish definite and fixed differenttals
for the various qualities of crude.
The war service committee is maxi
ing a thorough study of the subject,
and with the assistance of its advisory
committee is consulting the various
factors in the industry with a view to
suggesting a plan which will stimulate
maximum output and give reasonable
earnings.
Mr.. ReQua. director Of the oil divi-

tration, in a letter to Mr. A. C Bed
ford. chairman of the. national petro-
leum war service committee. in keep
ing with the policy which the govern
ment has been following since the
creating of the committee. states his
belief that such a program can best
be outlined by the committee rather
than by the government, because such
a program involves the Ngelfare not
alone OF the producer but OF all
branches of the bushes
Any plan said Mir. Requa. will
prove unsatisfactory at this time that

The War Camp Community Service

training camp activities was organized
to promote the welfare of the sailors

In Norfolk. Va. the service has Sc

The following equipment is needed

1. Milk Pails-They should be of the
type commonly known as covered-top,
should be heavily timed, and have all
seams flushed with solder SO that they
can be cleaned easily.
2. Cream Separator-Any make is
satisfactory If it skins clean and can
be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized.

or stone, with gravel next in favor,
says Indiana Farmers Guide. But
even such roads fall into disrepair, If
given no attention. What is said to
be the worst stretch of highway in
Illinois was once a magnificent mac
adam road. Now it is almost impass-
able owing to the deep hollows and
ruts which it contains. Everyone gives
it wide berth and it is "black listed'
in all automobile guides. Concrete
and brick paving also must have over
sight and repair.
Autoists have saying that there
is no better road than a dirt road
when it is dry. This is because, in
the case of well-drained earth road,
passing vehicles smooth out the ruts
left after rain and iron it into
sufficiently level surface to permit of
easy travelling. Here, again, it is a
case of working the roads," though
the work given is of an automatic
kind and rendered without thought of
the service performed. However, it
sometimes takes long time to smooth
out the roughness after a rain-espe-
cially If the soil is heavy clay. And
usually the same makeshift attention
Is given the earth road that is the
too-frequent lot of macadam and
gravel.
In some townships the dirt roads
are dragged at rather infrequent in
tervals and If rain comes right after
the dragging the effect of the latter
is largely nullified. The best dirt
roads, year in and year out, are those
which are dragged whenever possible
at all seasons of the year. This
should be done as soon after every
rain as possible but not when the mud
is In such condition that it will stick
to the drag. 1t is best to drag one
side of the road at a time and forbid
travel upon it until it Is thoroughly
dry. AS a general rule the softer the
material of which road is composed
the more frequent attention it should
receive. But let no one forget that
good roads of whatever kind are pos
sible only at the price Of constant over
sight.

RESULTS FROM GOOD ROADS
After Improvement Price of TiIIabIe
Lands Show Big Increase-ChiI-
dren Benefited.

After improving the main market
roads in four counties in Virginia
and one each in New York, Alabama,
Florida and Mississippi during pc
Rod of five years, survey was made
of the work and its results. 1t was
found that the price of tillable land
served by the roads Increased from
one to three times the total cost of the
improvements. The total saving every
year in hauling costs due to this inn
provement in the roads amounts to
1927, 400 for a traffic of about $780,
600 ton miles. The net saving on the
hauling, after deducting the cost of
interest and principal for the improve
