WINTER
SOFTENS SURFACE

Nearly every one has noticed how
much softer a road surface II In the
spring than 1t is In the fall or summer.
In many cases gravel-surfaced roads
are softened to such an extent that
the wheels Of the traffic passing over
the road cut through the gravel and
into the clay soil below. Much Of the
gravel is pounded down into the clay
and the clay In turn comes to the
surface of the road. It only requires
a few repetitions Of this to do away
with the fine riding qualities Of a
gravel-surfaced road The clay soon
predominates and during wet weather
the road surface is sticky and tends
to be slippery rather than possessing
the qualities Of gravel.
Years ago 1t was thought that a
certain road could not be successfully
graveled because the gravel would
sink down through the clay. 1t had
been graveled a time 0. two and the
gravel always disappeared. The trou-
BILE was that the layer Of gravel placed
upon the road was too thin, and when
wet, spring weather came, the wheels
cut through the gravel crust on top
Of the clay and forced the gravel into
the clay. This same road has now
been successfully graveled for years
and the only thing necessary was to
put on a sufficient thickness Of gravel
to sustain the weight Of the traffic.
If n will consider what takes place
during the winter when freezing
weather comes, 1t Is easy to see why
roads are softer in the spring. II the
fall is wet the gravel freezes when
considerable moisture Is present. This
water turning to Ice expands, forces
the soil particles apart, and when this
ice melts In the spring the particles
are not compact as they had been, but
are left loose because Of the so-called
"%heaving" Of the road due to freezing.
This expanding effect Of the frozen
moisture extends as deep as the frost
line, which, In this latitude, is about
two and one-hak feet In an ordinary
winter. When the roads thaw out In
the spring, therefore, the soil particles
are loose and must again be csm-
pacted by the action Of hocf and
wheel.-E. B. House, Professor Of Owl
and Irrigation Engineering. Colorado
Agricultural College.

C%onquering Nature

Since mans beginning he has waged
an unceasing battle to subject nature to
his will and wish. Though the battle has
now waged for thousands of years nature
is still the master of man.
Victory is not yet in sight for man but
his advance. though slow. is unchecked.
Nature may never be entirely uuder the
control Of man, who is actually a part OF
nature. but her many elements are being
Subdued one by one
Mans greatest struggle with nature has
been the prolongation of human life, a
thing over which nature for ages held
complete and uncontested sway. Science.
medicine. education and sanitation as
conceived by the genius of the human
mind. are successfully driving back the
forces of nature toward the lengtheniDe
of the average span of life. On the basis
of the progress made in the last three
decades toward the %prolongation of hu
man life we cao hope to have an average
life spar of three-Quarters of a century
within the next 80 years.
The automobile, the railroad. the air.
ship, the telegraph and the radio are ex-
empIiications of mans conquest of ma
ture. Astronomy and acknowledgements
science have brought within his ken
the universe and the past.
Anything man can think of he car do
if he works at it lohg enough. We have
abolished the plaques and devastating
epidemics of our early history and we
shall abolish the diseases which take
their toll of human lives today. Nature
is surrendering to man inch by inch and
is making man greater for the struggle.
When the time comes-if it should-when
man no longer has TO struggle for SUI
premacy the decay of the human mind
will be swift and sure.

Definite Plan Required
for Feeding the Horse

Adoption Of q rather definite plan
for feeding and replenishing the farm
work stock Is one way that Is open to
many Armers to cut down expenses
and thereby increase profits, In the
opinion of j. L. Edmonds, chief In
horse husbandry at the college Of ag-
ricuiture, University Of Illinois AT
the present time this matte2 h too
frequently neglected, he says
Good crop rations which involve
tho growing Of a liberal acreage Of
legumes produce an abundance of ex-
ceilent horse feed When legrmH
hays, such as clover, alfalfa and soy
beans, are used for horse feeding. they
a be fed o satisfactorily and eco
nomically II one-third to one-half Of
the rcughage u made up of a carbo-
naceouS roughage. Oats straw, corn
slower and similar feeds are satisfac-
tory hor this purpose during parts Of
the year. Sheaf oats could be much
more widely used than they are. The
point Is that legume hays should not
be overfed-
Sweet clover pasture supplies both
good and cheap feed. Some perma-
nent blue grass pasture is necessary
for horses; nothing else VIII stand as
much tramping as a good blue grass
sod. However, the sweet clover pas
ture supplies an abundance of feed
when the blue grass Is practically dor
mant during the hottest weather.
When market prices Of coarse grains
are as low as they were this year the
wise plan is to use these feeds to
stoke horse and mule motors for farm
work. Their use for this purpose re-
duces power costs and tends to in
crease prices Of these grains by help
ing to keep big SURPRISES of tho
market.

Weather Philosophy

A jury condemned the philosopher
Socrates TO death. but it is not recorded
that they were influenced in this by his
statement, in the course of his defense
while a soldier in the Greek army ! went
through the snows of a winter campaign
barefoot, and no one ever saw me cross
a street of Athens in the summer TO get
into the shade"
The .liud of Socrates was never much
on the eather. He believed that one
would ufor less and accomplish more II
he die not bother his brains about the
temperature and what it might do TO him.
That is still good philosophy.

the train and refrain from eating
until his destination has been
reached, if possible. If it is long
trip, one should be prepared to have
his meals in the diner at the regular
eating periods of the day. 1t is a
lack of good breeding to be seen eat
ing throughout the journey as though
it was the only and last chance to
fill up. Candy or something as
dainty, is not obnoxious, however, to
the most cultured passengers.
Civility of the. highest sort is pos
sible when travelling in train. One
may be courteous to the gruff ticket
collector and polite to the hustling
expressman-a soft answer turneth
away wrath"-and we usually find
that a curt, peremptory. order re-
ceives response that is no less curt,
but kind and courteous requests in

friendly response. "Thank you" is
never superfluous and we should
never fail to say. it when some serv-
ice, no matter how trivial, has been
performed for US.

Origin Of Soap

1t is believed that soap was origin
ally made. by the Phoenicians from
whom the art was learned by the
Gauls. Pliny thought soap was a
Gallo invention, although he pre-
ferred the soap made by the Ger
mans.
There is reason for believing that
the Romans learned of the use of
soap from the Germans rather than
the Gauls. The original method of
soap making was very crude. Tallow
was treated with wood ashes, goats
fat and the ashes of beech trees be-
ing preferred.
The method was improved some
what by the Romans. A complete
soap factory was found among the
ruins of Pompeii. Although soap is
mentioned in the Old Testament, it
is believed that the word translated
as "soap" refers simply to the ashes
of plants and other similar simple
purifying agents.
Before the invention of soap the
inhabitants of Europe used the COM
mon plant known as soapwort to
wash with. The Romans used full
ler's earth.

Gas Now Used for
Heat--Not Light

So great is the use of manufac-
tured gas for house heating that
difference of one degree in the
mean temperature of Chicago eli
mate means difference of 1,000,-
900 Gu. #. in the daily output of
gas for that city, according to re-
cent report issued by the American
Gas Association.
House heating installations of the
central-fired type are now being
made at the rate of about 100000
a year, whereas hundreds of thou
sands of space or portable heaters
are sold either as supplementary
heating units or as the sole heating
equipment for bungalows and other
one-story homes.
The gas industry is making such
strides in the heating field that ex-
perienced fuel engineers believe it
will entirely dominate the situation
in the very early future. Recently,
Harry c. Abel, president of the Ma
tional Power and Light Company,
estimated on the basis of past de-
mands that the industry would re-
quire $4,000, 100000 of new money
Ito meet growing needs for service,
the biggest opportunities existing in
house heating and large-scale indus
trial uses for gas.

Travel Courtesy

lraVel Nourtesy
The etiquette of travel must not
be neglected, especially among
Americans, since it is fact that al
most everyone these days is some
thing of tourist. No part of the
civilized world is too remote for
many of us to venture. It's bag and
luggage and off we go.
After a trip is planned, the next
consideration is the wardrobe. 1t
is unwise to overburden oneself with
numerous clothes, especially since it
is so easy to replenish the ward
robe, if necessity arises, in other
countries. In fact, collecting arti-
cles of wearing ahpareI here and
there en- route adds much to the in
terest of the trip, and gives one
something to display, among other
souvenirs, upon returning home as
representative of the shops in the
towns visited. Many people spend
their entire bankroll preparing a
wardrobe to take away with them
to strange town and return home
after the trip with nothing but a
bundle of soiled clothes.
When leaving on vacation trip,

ly, wearing neat tailored suit and
blouse, small hat and comfortable
shoes, emitting jewels and fancy or
naments. Her bags should contain
the necessary changes of underwear,
one emergency street dress, evening
gown, sport outfit, shoes and hat to
correspond, dressing gown, bedroom
shoes and the necessary supply of
toiletry. Care should be taken to
keep ones bags as presentable as
possible.
The number of suits and quantity
of linen a gentleman takes with him
depend upon the length of his trip
and the social activities he expects
to indulge in.
When travelling on sleeping car
the person who has the lower berth
is entitled to the seat facing forward,
while the one with the upper berth
has the seat facing backward. 1t is
courteous to consult ones seat mate
before requesting to have the beds
made for the night.
If the trip is a short one that re-
quires only a few hours ride, one
should take his meal before entering

Seven Common Sense
Rules

L. Eat slowly and chew your food.
2. Eat two vegetables Zone green
if possible) and one fresh fruit
every day.
8. Eat some bulky food every day:
Whole wheat, whole cereals,
bran, fibrous vegetables and
fruit to aid digestion.
4. Eat meat only once a day.
Beans, peas, eggs, cheese and
fish are excellent substitutes for
meat.
5. Eat some hard foods---toast,
crackers, bread crusts, celery,
nuts, etc.-to help keep the
teeth and gums in good condi-
ton.
6. Take at least pint Of milk
every day.
Z. Don't over-eat.
When you are "just ready to
DROP" don't force yourself to eat
a hearty meal. Take cup of cocoa
or hot broth and rest while. Ex-
cessive fatigue, like grief, anger, and
strong emotion retards digestion.
When we are in good humor and
in good company, we enjoy our food
most and it does us the most good.

Save any gravy that may be left
from Sunday night dinner, and on
Monday evening either add it to a
new cream sauce or, il the gravy is
very fat, simply add flour and milk
to it without the addition of any but
ter. I Cook one-fourth of a pound
of spaghetti, chop the remaining
chicken and combine the three in a
casserole. Sprinkle the top with
bread crumbs and bake fifteen or
twenty minutes.
Tuesday Fondue
For the cheese fondue on Tuesday
night use one-third pound of cheese,
cut in small cubes; two-thirds cup
of soft bread crumbs, yolks of two
eggs, two-thirds cup of hot milk,
salt, pepper and paprika, and lastly,
the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs.
Bake, one and half hours.

bunch of celery and one onion, both
cut in pieces. This makes a delight

served cold with cream. 1t may be
prepared in the morning.
Wednesday, Dinner
Two guests are invited for We'd
nesday evening. If you have no
relish dishes on which to serve the
hors d'oeuvres, arrange the individ-
ual portions on salad plates ION top
of the service plates.) Buy one can
of homeless sardines, one tomato, a
small bunch of celery, a small bunch
of radishes and scallions, one bottle
of olives, and prepare two devilled
eggs. Place on each plate one sar-
dine, one quarter of the tomato, one
stalk of celery, a few radishes, olives
and scallions and one half of one of
the eggs. Serve toasted Vienna rolls
or bread sticks with the hors d'oeu-
vres.
The steak should be a large one,
two and one-half or three pounds,
and may BE broiling while the first
course is eaten. One bunch of as
paragus and one quart of strawber-
ries should serve four generously.
When cooking asparagus tie to-
gether with clean string. This en-
ables the cook to lift it out of the
pot and onto the plate without diff
ficulty. The string should not be
cut until the tips are safely on the
plate. Drawn butter or hollandaise
may then be added.
