OF course it is always the part of

courtesy to assure guests that they
are entirely welcome to use these

little urging is not out of place, but
to insist or argue about it Is ex-
tremely inconsiderate. 1t is no more

guest to be forever urged to change
his seat. OF course it is courteous
to lead an aged guest to a specially
comfortable chair or to invite any
guest to a chair near the fire in

when a guest shows a preference for
any other seat be considerate enough
to take his word for the preference.
You should also take your guests

OILING OF STATE HIGHWAYS
IS EXPLAINED BY ENGINEER

So many people are forming and
expressing opinions of enc kind or
another with regard to experiments
now being made in applying fuel oil
to the surface Of state highways,
it may be well to recall the most
pertinent facts to public attention
to bring about q clear understands
ing Of the problem involved.
It may be taken for granted thal
every one readily sees certain bcnc-
tit, resulting from applying oil to Il
gravel road surface winch otherwise
would bc dusty.
Few assert Of! should not be used
ON the highways. If they have cN-
pctienccd use Of reads treated aud
compared them with those that are
molled. Many. however. ask the
following questions.
j. Why carry On the olIinE oP-
,ratiou> during touring season:
= Why put on 50 much o;i'
g. Why rot cover the oil 50 ii
viii. not bc picked up by traffic.
:. Why not rut OF. more equip
ment ana get done with the Job
Questions Answered
Answering these questions brief
y and without teehnirali-y:
1. The oiiing process requires dry
weather. the drier and hotter the
Ectter-aud this happens to be in
the touring season.
>. Experience has determined the
amount Of oil required to produce
the best result. and We have no way.
of altering the nature OF conditions.
). Amplifying answer number >,
il must be said that this initial eX-
cess Of oil Is necessary TO secure \
residual surface mixture that will
have q body sufficiently rich in oil
L. hold up. II We add enough
cover to take up the oil 1t once, then
the oil becomes lifelc>S and disin-
tegratcs rapidly.
!. Until the niling process is com
p'ctelv demonstrated and the best
Kind OF equipment developed, il
would be uneconomical to plunge
headlong into the work.
Objections Discussed
So far the chief objections 10
the oiling have been TWO in number:
l. The car picks up the oil,
Smearing the wheels. Tenders. and
body. tending Ia make Of an attrac-
Imperial Valley press., 1926-08-07

ly oiled roads last only from three
to five days, diminishing with each
hour following the application of
the oil.
One oil crew will therefore, nev.
er oil more than about five miles of
road at a time, (it is usually nearer
three milcs) that will give the mo-
torist annoyance. Even in the worst
situations, if the driver will slow
down to 10 miles per hour. splashing
would not occur and only the tires
will be soilcd. Even the oil so
picked up will soon be transferred
to the dry surfaces ahead, with only
slight damage.
In all eases warning signs are
placed on the highway on sections
where oiling is in progress, but few
people, however, follow the instruc-
tions. One who drives at high
speed through the freshly placed oil
surely does not mind the mess he
makes for himself, and is indiffcr-
ent to the rights Of fellow travellers
whom he splatters in passing.
Public Cooperation Asked
In view of the enormous economies
which seem certain to follow IL
proper oiling of state highways, a
helpful attitude on the part of trat,
fic is most earnestly desired, all
should cooperate for the general
good. 1t is not to be expected that
for SOC or $500 per mile, surface
can be built the equal of pavement
costing $4,000 per mile. but the
state can secure, as it is doing, Il
serviccable and pleasing road fer the
smaller figure.
Let every motorIst bear in mind
that the oil is intended only for the
road; no one wants it carried away
on passing cars-thc highway or
ganization least of all. If few
extra minutes are taken III passing
over newly oiled sections money and
hours will be saved in cleaning the
