The experiment of treating the surface of College Avenue between Allen and Frazier Streets with calcium chloride was tried last week. A4O per cent solution was applied, the juniors in Highway Engineering doing the work of mix ing and sprinkling. Calcium chloride possesses the property of taking ip moisture from the atmosphere, so that the treated surface absorbs the dew and retains enough moisture during the day to keep down the dust. It possesses no binding qualities. The present treatment should last about two weeks when a second application using a 20 per cent solution should be made. An occasional sprinkling with plain water is beneficial. That the ex periment is successful may be proved by noting that there is an en tire absence of dust when an auto mobile strikes the treated portion of the avenue, while on the untreated portion a dense dust is raised. An International Night. On Friday, May 10, the Cosmo politan Club will present its second annual International Night. On ac count of the greater number of nationalities represented in the club, this year’s prog-am is to be the most varied as well as the most interesting of any previous undei taking. A novel feature of the oc casion will be the singing of nation al and folk songs. The “balalaika men” will be at their best in their farewell numbers before the college public. Professor Foster will dis cuss international language. The entertainment will be held in the Old Chapel at 7:45 p. m. Hereafter sophomores are re quested to occupy first base and freshman third base bleachers at baseball games.
