EARTH ROADS IN CONDITION
Earth Roads In Proper Shape
Drag Must Be Used.

1t can be truthfully said that drain
age is the chief essential in putting
earth roads into proper condition. An
old ScOtchman, an expert road builder,
aptiy said that the three requirements
of good earth roads are, drainage, more
drainage, and still more drainage. Il.
w. Lehman of the University of Mis-
souri, college of agriculture indorses
this sentiment and adds: Roads must
not only have good surface drainage
but must also have good underdrain-
age. Surface drainage is secured by
proper grading, adequate side bitches,
and by keeping the crown of the road
properly dragged. Stretches of road
that do not dry out quickly must be
underdralned by tile.
The drag must be used after each
rain, " the best results are to be Sc
cured. Don't go on the road while too
muddy, let II dry out slightly; 1t should
be wet enough. however. so 1t will not
crumble, but smear. When properly
used, the drag brings a thin layer Of
earth toward the center of the road
which is rolled and packed between
wet periods. If too much crown is Sc
cured by dragging, the angle Of the
drag should be reversed.
Getting the earth -oads graded.
bitches open, well drained, and prop
erly crowned by dragging Is about all
that can be done until the people are
ready to surface the road with gravel.
broken stone or some other surfacing
material.

This is especially true In those states
which have comparatively large
number of cars and only small mile
age of improved roads. Thus, Illinois,
last November approved bond issue
Of S60,0O0,O00 for he construction Of a
system of state roads. The interest
and principal Of these bonds are to be
paid entirely from the motor-vehicle
revenues. There is no doubt that these
revenues will prove sufficient for this
purpose. The main question which re-

INITIATE TIRES ON HOT DAYS
Terrific Driving Necessary to Generate
Enough Heat to Raise Air Pres
sure in Tire.

Motorists should again be warned
against the notion that the heat OF a
summer day expands the air inside O
tire to such an extent that the tires do
not need to be blown up to the same
point as in winter. Experiments show
that 1t takes terrific driving at racing
speed for considerable period to gen.
crate enough heat to raise the air pres.
sure In tire five or six pounds. The
expansion In car driven at an or
dinary rate on hot summer day Is so
slight that no allowance should be
made for 1t when the tire is pumped
up.
Motorists would do well In hot
weather to test the air pressure In
their tires every few days to see that
the leakage OF air has not reduced the
pressure to the point where the tire
will suffer harm.

Designers OF children's clothes for
this summer featured neatness In
them and fornd the results so good,
and so satisfying to the buying public
that they are emphasizing this effect
in the new fall showings. In dresses
for schoolgirls, simple designs with
beautifully exact pleats. or tucks, or
rows of braid, placed In the most
workmanllke manner, account for
about all that authoritative manufac-
turers have turned out In the way of
decoration. There is a liking for even
severely plain styles In dresses for
schoolgirls In which the youthful,
corsetless figure is vaguely fitted and
followed. with plain bodices, pleated,
skirts reaching below the knees and
finished with narrow hens. and often
the introduction of collar or vestee of
organdie or batiste, making up an en-
semble that pleases everyone.
Any Of the woolen suitings are suit

Young girls are likely to have YER,
decided opinions of their own in the
matter of dress. But as neatness and
restraint are a part of their education,
as important as any other part of 1t,
mothers must insist upon appropriate
clothes for school wear, taking time tc
explain why these plain and nea,
dresses. which expert designers have
turned out, are better than fancieI
ones.
