Ill some sections, especially through
the great fruit belts of . California,
splendid success In dust suppression
'has been Attained by spraying the
dirt roads with oils possessing as

the country the wise administering of
coal tax preparations has aided to a
great extent, and drenching with cal
cium chloride has shown that the
dust can be kept at a minimum
Those methods, however, are not

and while they are being advocated
in such sections of the country as

The solution of that problem may
be given at the big congress at Paris

AFTER BUGGY PEDDLERS.
AUTOMDBILtS AND ROAD EXPERIMENTS
The office of public roads of the
United States department of agri
culture has recently been conducting
a series of very Interesting experi
ments to learn the amount of dam
age done to the rock surface thor
oughfares by automobiles. The re
sults prove that the modern fast
moving car is the greatest menace
to macadam roads that has ever
made Its appearance.
On some stretches of thorough
fares, especially In New England,
where many broad and smooth roads
have been constructed,, the retrogres

It has been forced upon the director
of the office of public roads and up

When these conditions had been

mobile to be a great benefactor, for
in the struggle to overcome the con
dltlons created, highway engineers
must do noe of two things; find
road surfacing material which makes
no dust and needs no dust to main'
tain its integrity, or discover a
method of controlling the dust on
the roads already laid.,
When that Is done one of the great
est problems of the centuries will have
been solved and humanity will have
gained one of the greatest blessings
imaginable.

To many It may seem beyond be-,
lief that a pneumatic rubber tiro can
work any Injury to a road com
posed of bits of crushed flint rock,
but it becomes plain when the theory
of such roads Is explnlned. The ma
cadam road, named after John Lou
den Macadam of Ayr, Scotland, who
was for years highway surveyor of
Bristol, was first laid down by the
eminent French road engineer Tre
sauget of Limoges, who wisely fig
ured that slowly moving iron tired
wagons would crush dust particles
from the stones of the road's sur
face; that those particles would be
constantly sifted between the tutrices
of the large stones; that every pass-.
Ing wagon would crush them firmer ,
into all ruts and Inequalities; that ,
rains would aid and the ultimate re
suit would be a smooth surface, wa
ter-sheddlng highway.
The sauget planned wisely; Mae
Adam came two decades later and
made n slight change In the laying of
the road foundation and gave to such
Oiorotighfares his name. For a cen
tury and a quarter the wisdom of the
road engineers of Limoges and Ayr
was Justified. Then arose a condition '
they had never figured on, a fast
moving vehicle running on broad,
soft tires. The roads began to suffer
at once for the followlnk reasons:
The rubber tire, being soft, creates
no rock dust Itself us does the Iron
,tlre of a wogan, and the very life
of these roads demands a constant
supply of. that material. It Is the
surface binder that keeps the road
smooth; cracks filled In; that main
tains the evenness and binds the rub
ble stones Into one Impervious mass.
Every Iron tired wheel does Its own
small quota of good by acting lis a
rock dust maker and a miniature
. road roller. The auto whirring along
at dizzy speed simply flattened Its
tires against the ground as It sped
and tho tractive forco so exerted
hurled the precious rock dust Into
the ulr from where It was swept to
the adjacent farms anr lawns In
blinding Clouds.
So pronounced was the mere dust

the country that real estate decreas

Wallu Walla District Attorney
Swears Out Complaint. -. ,
That home endustries are not to be
heedlessly encroached upon Is- evl
dent from the action of the prosecut
Ing attorney, who this morning swore
out complaints for John Do and
Richard Roe, charging them with
peddling buggies In the country with
out having a license from the auditor
for so doing, says the Walla Walla
Statesman.
They have no place of business In
this county and have had none and
for this reason it is alleged a license
Is necessary If they wish to compete
with local merchants.
This annual Influx of buggy ped
dlers representing their goods to be
the best and their terms to be the
easiest. Is declared by dealers to be
one of the greatest menaces the local
trade has to contend with.
Every year they flood the country
with their goods; which they claim
are the best on earth, and yet when
taxes arexpald on these buggies they
swear that 45 of them are worth but
J 800. They canvass the country thor
oughly and with the speech of finish
ed peddlers sell goods to people who
would otherwise patronize home
dealers who handle reliable goods.
Retail dealers as a body cannot take
measures to rid the country of the
pestiferous peddlers and have been
doing all they can to head off their
depredations by other means. The
step of the county attorney Is much
appreciated by all local dealers, of
whatever line of goods.

Cuts Them In Half.
The cost of a mot.rcar is different from the price.
You Jean buy a lower-price automobile than a
Franklin. But not a lower-cost one. You can't
buy one easier on tires, because of Franklin light
weight; nor easier on 'gasoline, because of the
efficient motor; nor easier on repairs, because the
light-weight is combined with enduring strength.
Franklins fchave no plumbing system to burst,
leak or freeze; but take all kinds of roads in all
kinds of weather. You can't buy a motor-car that
gives more days of work in a year 01 more years
of service for the money.

Franklins are the best automobile
