ITHACA, N.Y.—Common salt, us

grains into countless robots Who la
bor incessantly road repairs.
The discovery of this surprising
way in which the salt particles move
up "and down in, the road to keep it
%oist, smooth, tough £nd dOnse was
made public at Cornell ^University toT
day during the celebration of. the
semi-centennial of Sigma XI, Hoxir
-orary Scientific ' Society..
The salt particles convert a mass
of clay, sand and grav.el into a sur
face as hard as macadam. How they
ccomplish this was a mystery until
their workings were studied in the'
laboratory of Dr. H. Ries,;-professor
....................... " » ■' ’
of geology., He undertook this study
for the International Salt Co., after
a few experimental salt-soil-stabil-
iZed roads had shown their worth in
Michigan, Louisiana and. Nova Sco
tia. ''
Rock salt is mixed, with the top
three inches or more of road] with at
least two pounds of salt to the square
yard. The mixture is, smoothed and
sprinkled enough to dissolve the salt.
It is rolled smooth and hard. As the
surface dries it "sets” and stays
hard. .

that a salt road does not appreciably
soften.
When the road dries out the robot
salted particles start their most spec
tacular road repair work, creeping
up from Hie deeper parts of the road
and forming a soluble cement to
bind together the surface particles.
This prevents the road from drying^
out rapidly afid keeps down dust.
These roads. Prof. Ries said, re
quire far less maintenance than old
type gravel roads and are much less
expensive to build than macadam.
A sprinkling of salt once' a season
has been found sufficient as g rule
to keep the robot particle army suffi

did after her marriage, tasting /the.
fruits of wealth in foreign lands, but
she .always comes back to Somer

house on a 2,300-acre ..estate with its
42 miles of improved roads, its wood
land glens and a multitude of bass
and trout, fearless of capture, frisk
in the eight lakes and the winding
streams. - . ,
Mrs. Cromwell was born on the
estate, lived here most of her life,
and has spent many .week-ends here
since her marriage and honeymooiu
She has 11 servants, who ocupy the

* MONTREAL. — The virtues of the
dandelion are extolled by an editor
in The Gazette. He is silent on the
subject of the good green, grass
which the dandelion kills out and on
the ugly scene after the weed has
done its work of reproducing itself
in every, place where it can gain
fothold, 200 flowers in one I
Yet, credit where credit is due,
and to quote the- editor:-
‘‘Our forefathers had a much
higher opinion of the dandelion in
a 'general way than we have, 'though
we' may know more- about the intri
cate working of its arrangements
than they did. By them the dande
lion was used as a medicine, a ve
getable, and a salad, and greatly es
teemed for all, but especially for the
first-named.
“Dandelion tea was once consid
ered a panacea for ills* such as
fevers and liver troubles,Qamjt a? a
general tonic found many J^rerom-
mend it. Dandelion leaves, used as
'greens,’ have never quite gone out
of fa’ or. Country peoote still cook
and eat them in rhe Springtime. I
when other Vegetable* are scarce. [
Dandelion beer is a rustic, ferment-!
ed drink familiar to many. I
“The thick tap-root of the dande- •
lion when ground has often done-
duty for ‘coffee’ making,, and if
washed whole and thfem ground it
is said to be almost' indistinguish
able from the genuine article. • In
fact, so many are the! uses of the I
-dandelion that the st<ry is told that
once, when Minorca was suffering
from famine through the depreda
tions of locusts the inhabitants wei'e^
able to eke out an existence for a”
time by tty? aid of the dandelion
plants that Abounded on the island.”

Baby’s first shoe is important'only
as a sduvjenir, but his first walking

Children's shoes have reached a stage
of development, now where there is '
little excuse for any child reacHing
school.age without naturally perfect .
feet . '
Only one of 26 bones in the foot
structure is properly developed at
birth. The fest do not develop com
pletely until the age of 20. This is .
the reason proper care in babyhood

skimp on the material of his clothes
than upon the shape, style, quality»
and fitting of good shoes.
Many of the foot defects suffered
by children of school age . could have
been avoided by proper care in theif
babyhood. -
TheverySoftshoesthatareideal

for this period, with a sole suficient-
ly heavy to protect the foot yet s»
very flexible that the undeveloped' ,
muscles can. bend it.
