BoadB are now kept free from dust la southern California by the applica tion of oil.' It dm been found that to place roads In condition through the .use of oil la -cheaper than maintaining them In half condition during a tingle senson by sprinkling with water. And when a road haa once been put Into condition with oil It requires but alight addition al expenditure to keep It no. One hundred barrels of oil per mile spread oves an area eighteen feet In width will put a road In condition along the extent of the oiled surface and fire an excellent roadway, ade quate for ordinary tralliu. The oil la put on In throe applications the first at the rate of sixty barrels per mile and the two subsequent trentmcnta at tim rate of twenty barrels per mile ach. Great care must be tukeu In deliver ing the oil. It Hhwuitl be hot when dis charged and poured upon a hot sur face, so Unit the work of the oil sprin kling Is confined to the beat of the day. The oil cauuot be poured on Indiscrim inately, but must be drilled Into the dust as wheat Is drilled Into land pre pared to receive It If It la uot so ap plied, the oil will uot saturate eveuly the dust area, bat will lie In splotches; run together and so mike a very las- perfect surface. In order to meet the requirements machine baa been devised. A big tank mounted on four wheels drags a sort of tender box, supported' by two wheels. Into which Is run from the tank a supply of oil. This box has furnace beneath It, which beats the oil, and at tached to It la a drag looking some thing like hayrake. number of curved nods or fingers go out from the bottom, and these are drawn through the dust and along the road. They mark little furrows In the dust, and Into these furrows, through a series of pipes, Is discharged the oH. A second finger or sort of thumb ar rangement fixed farther back turns the dost over the oiled furrow and the sur face Is then left to absorb, a process which requires alout an hour to effect A roller Is then drawn over the oiled width and the first treatment la com pleted. HOW AUTOS DAMAGE ROADS. Injury Already Done In Massachusetts Eatimatsd at $50,000. "It Is hard to Bay what will be the ultimate damage to the roads." said memler of the Massachusetts com mis slon to a representative of the Boston Globe, "but it has recently been esti mated by the lard that $50,000 dam age has lieeu done already by autos. "Tills Is snmll in proportion to the cost of the roads, but nnless some new method of Hpplylng surface Is adopted the damage Is likely to be continuous that Is, reiieuted as fast as it Is made good. 'There Is something about the broad rubber tires of motor vehlclea on wheels of small diameter peculiarly damaging to maendoni roads. A vacu um Is crenfed by the tire which sucks the surface, or hinder, from the road. and It In Mown away, leaving the stones exposed. The commission Is experimenting with tnr surfacing, which hus been used In France successfully. Expert ments have also been made by the park commissioners with an oil having an asphnlt base. Something new must be adopted, and I have no doubt Mas sachusetts will not be behind in fts adoption." Buck Brings' Slowness. By LULU JOHNSTON. Oeprriaartad, MOT. br K. M. OonalofhaJB.

Some of them had engagements for trolley rides for the evening and were In hurry to be dressed and off. Others made haste to reach home for supper. Sally bad neither of these reasons for baste. Her thin, white face did not at tract the few men she knew. Tbey never Invited her anywhere, and the streets were at least cooler than the stuffy little room that she called home. She knew that presently she must make her coffee and fry her single chop over the tiny oil stove that filled the room with the reeking odor of oil, but by walking slowly she delayed that time as long as possible. She gave a little gasp us she came before the Installment bazaar win dows. Instead of the rolls of wall paper and carpets, the "nobby" parlor sets and Iron bedsteads, the four big windows of the store were got op to represent the four rooms of a flat, a card In each window stating the cost of the equipment to be $10 down and $5 a month for an unspecified time.

With an easy gesture Buck thrust bis hand In his pocket and rattled three nickels and a dime against the quar ter and half dollar, but It was not this so much as the thought of her room that decided Sally. With a nod and ''I'll be down soon," she hurried up the steep flights. She munched the bread and smoked sausage she had brought homo with her while she hurried about her dress ing. There wrts a clean waist sho was saving for Sunday and a broftd crimson rlhhon that brought a touch of color to her face. The rest of the transformation was worked In her face through the thought that Bhe was to have an escort. Buck blinked as she came through the grim doorway. ITis startled "You are all right, sis." wns uncouth enough but it wns the first compliment Sally had ever received, and she smiled radi antly upon her cavalier. The ride to the park was a trip to fairyland after the clntter of the ma chlnery and the heat of the operating room. Buck beamed when she declined his offer to find a partner for her to dance with, and they sat listening to the mush? and watching the dancers while Sully sipped her lemon soda and Buck his beer. Twice he treated her to Ice cream when some of the other girls were near, and, under the warm ing Influence of his admiration, Sally's wan face became transformed, and even one of the shipping clerks stop ped to speak a few words to her. Regretfully she turned away when Buck finally suggested that It was time to go and that they knew how to get there again. She could have stayed there until the lights were put out, but Buck was not minded to let her lose too much sleep, and they caught a car before the crowd was ready to start back to the city. He gave a signal to the conductoi before they reached their corner, and Sally followed blm protestlngly from the car. "I know we ain't home yet," he ad mitted, 'but I want to show you some thin.'
