NEW PROBLEM OP GOOD ROADS.
The Office of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agri
culture has recently been conducting
a series of experiments to learn the
extent of the damage done to the
rock-surface thoroughfares by auto
mobiles. The results prove that the
modern fast moving motor car is the
greatest menace to macadam roads
that has ever made Its appearance.
On some stretches of thoroughfare,
especially in New England, where
many broad and smooth roads have
been constructed, the retrogression
is not less than 4 0 per cent. If some
plan is not speedily devised for over
coming the bad effects of motor wear
the money loss will be stupendous
and the good work of many years
will go for naught.
Not only in America does this con
dition prevail. The men of England,
France, Germany, Holland, Belgium
and other countries of the old world
there hard-surfaced highways are ap
preciated have also learned that the
big, soft rubber tires of the auto
mobile are doing almost incredible
harm. France has officially taken
cognizance of the condition and has
called an International Congress to
meet at Paris, October 11, to discuss
plans for saving the roads.
To many It may seem beyond be
lief that a pneumatic rubber tire can
work any injury to a road composed
of bits of crushed flint rock; but this
becomes plain when the theory of
such roads is explained. The maca
dam road, named after John Louden
Macadam of Ayr, Scotland, who was
for years highway surveyor of Bris
tol, was first laid down by the emi
nent French road engineer, Tresau-
get of Limoges, who wisely foresaw
that slowly-moving iron-tired
wagons would crush dust particles
from the stones of the road's sur
faco; that those particles would be
constantly sifted between the inter
stices of the largo stones, that every
passing wagon would crush them
firmer Into all ruts and Inequalities;
that rains would aid, and tho ulti
mate result would be a smooth sur
face, water-shedding highway.
Thesauget planned wisely; Mac
Adam came two decades lator, made
a slight chango In the laying of the
road foundation and gave to such
thoroughfares his name. For a cen
tury and a quarter the wisdom of tho
road engineers of Limoges and Ayr
was Justified. Then arose a condi
tion they had nover conceived of
a rast-moving vehicle running on
brond, soft tires. Tho roads began
to suffer at once for the following
reasons: The rubber tires, being
soft, creates no rock dust itself as
does tho iron tiro of a wagon, and
tho vory life of these roads demands
a constant supply of that material.
It is tho surface binder that keeps
tho road smooth and cracks filled In;
that maintains the evenness and
binds the rubblo stones into ono im
pervious mass. Every iron-tired
wheol does its own small quota of
good by acting ns n rock-dust maker
and a miniaturo road roller. Tho
auto, whirring along at dizzy speed,
simply flattens its tires against tho
ground and tho trnctlvo forco so ex
erted hurls tho precious rock dust
into tho air, wlionco it Is swept to
Iho adjacent farms and lawns In
blinding clouds. So pronounced has
been tho moro dust nuisance in many
portions of tho country that real
estato has decreased in valuo to an
appreciable oxtont, and fanners com
plain that tho ovof-lncreaslng dust
on their flohls, vlues nnd trees makes
It Impossible for them to soil tholr
harvests at as good prices as for
merly.
In tho struggle to ovorcomo tho
conditions created, highway engin
eers must do ono of two things

SCHOPENHAUER.
If Schopenhauer had lived in
Coos County he might have ad
ded to the above, that the poli
tician hears all the lying of
mankind.
"Ensyvllle."
I've traveled round this world a bit,
an' I am goin' still;
I'm tryln' hard to find a place that
some call "Easyville."
They tell me folks don't have to
work, an care is never found.
That all they do In "Easyville" is
just to loaf around.
They have enough to eat and wear,
an' sleep just all they please,
An' pick the choicest fruits of life
right off the hangln' trees;
Now, do you wonder I have tramped
these years o'er dale an hill
To find the everlastln.' joy an.' rest
of "Easyville"?
I ask my brother from the North,
"How looks It over there?
Hast ever looked on 'Easyville'? Hast
seen it anywhere?"
He shakes his head; my brother from
the East an' West the same,
An' yet they cast a hungry look
whene'er I speak the name.
O "Easyville," so I am told, lays jest
beyond the chain
Of mountains called "Ambition,"
"Push," an' "Toil" an' "Stress"
an' "Strain";
An I have looked these many years,
an I am lookln' still,
An' mebbe when I git to God He'll
show me "Easyville."
Cry and the world laughs at you;
fail and it gives you a groan.
There must be some good in some
men in Marshfleld for the Lord never
made anything just to pass away the
time.
There are some people In Marsh
field who would never smile if it
were not for other people's bad luck.

"Sonny," said Uncle Eben, "did
you ever watch one o' dls here little
tugboats come snortln' along takin'
kyah of a great big ocean steamer?"
"Yas indeed," answered Sunny
Jim.
"An' did you ever see one er dese
motor boats pick up a great big
scow an' drag It thru the bay?"
"Lot's o' times."
"Well, sonny, dom's all to remind
you dat no matter how big or im

"but my face does."
And a roadsurfacing material which
makes no dust and needs no dust to
maintain Its Integrity, or discover a
method of controlling the dust on
tho roads already laid. No dust
proof road surface material cheap
enough for use in country districts
has been found, and tho experiments
now proceeding are therefore along
tho second line tho controlling of
the dust by various methods of
spraying and by tho use of binder
materials. In some sections, espe
cially through tho great fruit belts
of California, splendid success in
dust suppression has been attained
by spraying tho earth roads with oils
possessing asphaltlc bases. In other
portions of tho country tho wise use
of coal tar preparations has aided
to n great extent, and drenching with
calcium chlorldo has shown that tho
dust can bo kept at a minimum.
Those methods, however, are not
solution of tho vnst problem of road
maintenance and dust suppression.

'STRAWBERRY EDITH
Delicious Dish Invented by Escofller,
the Famous Chef.
Now that strawberries are In the
market and will soon be plentiful
some of the ambitious Coos Bay
cooks may be interested in the very
latest mode of serving the delicious
dish. The Times Is not advised If
all the ingredients are obtainable In
the local markets but It might be
worth trying. That Curacoa-Klrsch-Maraschlno
sounds suspiciously like
the ingredients of a Mllllcoma cock
tail instead of an innocent dish of
straw berries- But here Is. the story
and the recipe as sent to me by an
eastern correspondent:
Before sailing from New York for
Europe Maltre Escoffier, the famous
chef who invented many dishes that
made Emperor William forget the
charms of beer and sausage and who
knows how o cook eggs in 1G8 dif
ferent ways, left as a token of his
appreciation his latest invention In
the gastronomlcal line. The day he
was to sail he placed before James B.
Regan of the Knickerbocker hotel,
whose guest he had been for a week,
a dish of which strawberries was the
foundation. Regan wanted more,
but there was no more. It was the
)nly sample of the new dish, and
Maltre Escoffier had tried It on Re
gan to see If it was worthy of leav
ing as a souvenir. He said it was
"the strawberry Edith" and some
thing entirely new.
It was offered to the guests of the
Knickerbocker that night and made
a great hit at 85 cents a dish. The
demand for the recipe was so great
that Mr. Regan made It public. Here
it is:
"Fresh strawberries rolled in va
nilla sugar, flavored with curacao-kirsch-maraschino
dished in Melba
dish, covered with whipped cream,
flavored with vanilla sugar and violet
leaves crushed."
AN APPEAL
Dry your team, dear April.

Knew tho Remedy.
"Ob, doctor," said the languid young
lady, dropping Into the softest chair In
the office. "1 am so sick! 1 do hope
you can tci wo what to do to get

"What aro the symptoms?" asked the
doctor. "Let us And out first what
nils you, and then we will see what we

"Oh, doctor, can't you make up the

"Rut how can I do that?"
"You ought to do that easy enough.
I want a set of symptoms that call for

Misunderstood.
