SURFACE OF IMPROVED ROAD Oval Should Be as Flat as Character of Material Employed and Lay of Land WIill Permit. “Everybody agrees that the surface of a road must be oval in its contour,” says Farm and Fireside, “but not all understand that this oval ought to be as flat as the character of the road material and the lay of the land will permit. With brick or concrete con- struction the oval may be very flat, be- cause the traffic makes no ruts to car- ry the water lengthwise of the road, nor does the pavement soften and de- welop depressions when kept in con- ct with water. But broken stone (water-bound macadam), being sus- ceptible to penetration by water, and subject to great damage if frozen while soaked, must be given a higher oval; and for gravel roads a still steeper pitch is demanded. “As for earth roads, the steepness must be governed by. the combined influence of a number of factors. Per- haps the leading factor is the quality of the earth in each particular case. And next might be placed the pres- ence or absence of ‘seeps’ or ‘spouts;’ while another of these vital factors would be the longitudinal pitch of ‘the highway.” . OIL FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENT When Properly Applied Gool Surface Is Obtained—Experiments Being Made in Missouri. (By E. T. M'CAUSTLAND, Missouri Ag- ricultural College.) Attempts are now being made in several parts of the state to keep dust down by the use of road oils. Super. visors should be careful to investigate the quality of oil they uge before put- ting it on the highways. It is not gen- erally understood that there are twa distinet types of oil on the market, One of these oils has an asphalt base which serves as a binder on the road as soon as the lighter oil evaporates, The other has a paraffin base and is to all intents and purposes a lubricat. ing oil. This kind of oil, however, doeg not hold the road hard, or is not bind: ing. It leaves the roads iusty and sticky. Road oiling, properly done, gives & good surface. The City of Joplin has done some of this work on its roads that have already carried heavy traf. fic more than a year and now look as good as asphalt pavement. Any Missourian may send samples of road oils to the Engineering Experi- ment. Station Unlversity of Missouri, Columbia, and have them examined at Oiled Highway in Missouri. a moderate cost—merely enough ¢ pay for the use of materials in the laboratory. Some time ago the experi- ment station issued a bulletin giving complete information on the quality of various materials throughout the state for road-making purposes. This bulletin is stili in print and will be sent free. Its title is “Investigation of Road-Making Properties of Missour{ Stone and Gravel.” $1,500,000,000 FOR ROADS Predicted This Amount Will Be Spent in Next Five Years on Highways of United States. “It is predicted on good authority that from $1,000.000,000 to $1,500,000,- 000 will be spent on the highways of - the United States in the next five years,” says Lincoln Highway, the orgun ot the transcontinental highway association of that name. “Herein lies the proof 'of the general interest on the part of all of the people in road improvement, an interest which went soaring with the passage of the Bank- head-Shackleford act allowing $75,000, 000 of federal funds to the various states for this purpose.” Money for Rural Roads. Under the federal-air road act, within the next five years $160,000,000 will be spent by federal and state gov- ernments in improving rural roads. Reduce Cost of Hauling.

SIX YOUNGSTERS ON HIKE: PARENTS GROW APPREHENSIVE Marion Wedge, Alma Christianson, Dorothy MacLachlan, Martha Erwig, Alice Witting and Catherine McKee, ten years of age, have all the other hikers beaten so far this year, as they walked to Birchmont hotel Sat- urday afternoon, leaving Bemidji at 3 o’clock and returning at 7:30 o’clock. Early in the afternoon the children met at one of their homes and later were given permission to take a walk to the north end of the city, a way familiar to all, but on the way an imp of suggestion met them and straightway they decided Birchmont for them. The children kept together, excepting for a short distance, when Mr. Cochran picked up part of the group and gave them a ride, but they were loyal and af- ter going a little way insisted on ALL THIS WEEK »midji Pioneer Phone 922 Tomorrow Matinee REX & Night WM.

On the way back the party split, two coming down the state road, the other four down the Irvine avenue road. About 6 o'cock anxious mothers began a frantic telephoning trying to locate their young daughters but with no results. Then one of the road, meeting the four at the grounds. One of the mothers start- {ed out the state road. The two com- ing this way had attempted a short cut just north of town and the path didn’t seem to lead them aright, but the mother kept calling, finally get- ting an answer, and the six children were soon all safe at home, a little footsore ‘and weary but next morn- ing all were up and doing the same as usual. i One mother met her venturesome young daughter with, “Never again,” and she promptly replled, “1 n't want to go there again.” Another daughter came in serenely smiling and said, ‘“Mother, I'm sorry 1 was late, but we walked to Birchmont and it took longer than we thought.” They had one Hershey's chocolate and some cookies for lunch, and judging from the way the eatables disappeared on their return, this was not sufficient.
