CITY TRIES NEW DUST PALLIATIVE, The city of Medford Is ex perimenting in dust laying on gravel streets at the present time bj using calcium chloride, which has been used extensively in the east for a number of years, Frank Rogers, city superintend ent, said today, and at the same time he warned parents to keep children with bare feet off streets undergoing this treat ment for at least two or three days after application. According to Rogers, the pro duct, which resembles rock salt in appearance, is very irritating when in the semi-solvent stage and in the process of absorbing. During the same stage it is also detrimental to shoe leather, he said. The calcium chloride accom plishes its dust laying facilities by its ability to absorb moisture from the air, according to the superintendent.
