Essentially, the E-sci body j• iai:*

2, Tiros are also damaged by
contact with the oil.
To these objections it muv be said
1. The car can be driven over
i the fresh oil and will pick up very
| little, except on the tire, if one
drives slowly —say eight or 10 miles
j per hour.
2. The damage to the tire is ac
• tual. and cannot be helped, it is
not vere gnat, however, and is more
than made up in the saving from
friction, due to a rough road and a
hntsh dry stone, w hen oil is not used.
Oil Reduces Maintenance Cost
i Further offsetting these two ob
! Hit:. ms are the following important
; benefits:
1. Every mile of road oiled, as
t - now being done, represents a
\ i .-irlv sai ing to the state of about
spin from what would have been
-j . i.t on that mile during the year
had no oil been applied.
saving in money value to the iu

but if it could be applied to cloth
g. laundry, health, accidents, wear
on car parts and upholstery, the ag
grt-gaTe saving bv reason of a dust
less riiad would reach a startling
sum.
2. Lit’.- is made more tolerable to
those living alongside the
(Oh-d highways where the dust nuis
an.-e becomes almost unbearable,
spoiling crops, and making house-j
keeping a great burden.
The motorist is saved the phi !
g ie of the dust which promotes the j
... gers of travel, injures the health i
and injures the ear.
4. Wayside trees and flowers are
left attractive and unsoiled.
.I. The road surfaces are smooth
er and afford bodily comfort in rili
ng even at high speed; and for the
same reason there is less wear and
tear on the machine. l'roperly oil
ted roads are free from corrugation,
land a car will not lose traction as

mileage.

THE IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
ly oiled roads last only from three
to five days, diminishing with each
i hour following the application of
the oil.
One oil crew will therefore, inn
er oil more than about five miles of
road at a time, (it is usually nearer
t three miles) that will give the mo
torist annoyance. Even in the worst
I situations, if the driver will slow
down to 10 miles per hour, splashing
would not occur and only the tires
will be soiled. Even the oil so
picked up will soon be transferred
to the dry surfaces ahead, with only
slight damage.
In all eases warning signs are
i placed on the highway on sections
where oiling is in progress, but few
people, however, follow the instruc
tions. One who drives at high
speed through the freshly placed oil
surely does not mind the mess he
makes for himself, and is indiffer
ent to the rights of fellow travelers
whom he splatters in passing.
Public Cooperation Asked
In view of the enormous economies
which seem certain to follow a
I proper oiling of state highways, ti
j helpful attitude on the part of traf
! fic is most earnestly desired, all
should e-oojecratc for the general
! good. It is not to be expected that
1 for S7OO or SBOO per mile, a surface
can be built tin- equal of pavement
j costing $40,000 per mile, but the
! state can secure, as it is doing, a
■ serviceable and pleasing road fi r the
, smaller figure.
Let every motorist bear in mind
that the oii is intended ottly fo r the
road; no one wants it carried away
ion passing care—the highway or
ganizat ion least of all. If a few
extra minutes are taken in passing
over newly oiled sections money ami
hours will be saved in cleaning the
car.

! DRINKING IS BAD
BUT PROHIBITION
WORSE IS CLAIM
LONDON', Aug. 7 —Arts of parli
ament cannot make people good.
I This opinion was expressed
i through a questionnaire on the drink
! problem in England, sent out by
the Liberal .summer school, a semi-
I political organization, and answered
ny more than 800 associations and
groups of various sorts.
Discussing prohibition of liquor
sales, the response to the question-
I naires showed a considerable senti
ment supporting the criticism that
■ prohibition creates new crimes of a
i sort easy to commit and tempting.
| This social harm done the state by
; creating new crimes, together with
j the hopelessness of making people
i good by acts of parliament, were
emphasized as objectionable to pro
i hi b it ion.
The questionnaires, however, ex
■ pressed the opinion that the abso
lute effects ot drinking are consid
erable and that, workers who do not
'drink are more efficient than those
who do.
Hard to Judge
j ''Hut as to the relative effects
I upon productive efficiency of drink
i ing, and of the creation of unrest
j by forcibly regulating the consump
; turn of drink, it is harder to judge, ’
, continued the leport m which the
1 answers to the questionnaire were
! compiled.
*'lt will be remembered that
l some of the committee which in
; quired into industrial unrest during
[ the war attached importance to the
| evil effects of the restriction of
j beer. ’ ’
The drain on the national income
resulting from the drink habit, the
answers showed, is out of proportion,
to its value and “perhaps coustitut
es the most serious argument I
against it.’’ j
The report concludes that “the
total prohibition of alcoholic drinks
of more than a prescribed strength
is to be recommended.'’ No effort
was made to discover the alcoholic
