Where Thoroughfares Are Good Chil dren Are Clean and Well Cared For and Vice Versa —How California Learned an Economic Lesson. "I have noticed wherever 1 see bad ' roads I invariably see neglected, uu-. kempt, unwashed children. If 1 travel along .'t good road I see children well cared for. I do not say that one di rectly follows the other, but they un- i doubtedly go together. A community that is negligent of its roads will be j negligent of its children, and a com- j inunity that is negligent of its children ! will not produce good citizens, nor,! above ail things, will It have a high standard of public health." This observation on cause and effect was made by Dr. Allerton S. Cushmau, assistant director of the oflice of pub lie roads of the United States depart ment of agriculture, at a meeting of; the American Public Health assocla- j tlon. I)r. Cushtnan was asked to justify j the statement. "It is, I think, Justified ! by a day spent ill an automobile in any country section," said ho, "and, in- j sisting as I do on the condition, I think it lias a bearing on the question so frequently asked by unthinking Americans, 'What possible relation can there be between the public road aud public health?' "If 1 lie medical men of the world know what they are talking about the relation is intimate. Dirt and dust mean disease. Cleanliness and sanitary surroundings work for a better citizen ship. The relation of science to mun dane things is evident, if one will use even a percentage of the powers of de duction which Conan Doyle gave to Sherlock Holmes. Science holds in her archives a delightful little story which well illustrates my purpose. It is re lated that at one time the flavor of the famous Staffordshire cheese had de parted and a splendid industry was endangered. Sir John Lubbock, the great naturalist, made a prolonged in vestigation and finally reported to the farmers that in his judgment the best restorative measure possible would be to import a great number of cats and set them free in Staffordshire. "Naturally the unbelieving scoffed at the proposed antidote, for they deemed the suggestion ridiculous. 'They asked a reason for so extraordinary a pre scription. " "The peculiar flavor of the Stafford shire cheese conies from a hybrid clo ver which formerly grew here in great abundance,' said Sir John. "The bum blebee is the one means of cross ferti lizing that clover. The field mice have increased very rapidly in numbers of late, and they are destroying the nests iif the bumblebees. If you can destroy the mice, the bees can work on that clover, and Staffordshire cheese will soon be as good as ever. Get cats therefore.' "1 don't vouch for the story," con tinued Dr. Cusliman, "but I indorse it for its power of illustrating the deli cate equilibrium which under our com plex civilization exists between the public health and public utilities. No body will deny that the 2,150,000 iniles of public roads of America constitute the national dust factory and furnish fully 90 per cent of the dust we in hale. The delicate breathing appara tus of the human body was never meant to harbor such substances as every passing breeze blows from the thoroughfares, and the percentage of people dying from disease carried by dust is higher than is generally be lieved. "When the public will concede that to be a fact the director of public roads aud tlie state and county road builders and overseers will get a great er degree of popular support than they now receive. The American finds dusty roads a menace only when it is brought home to him that they cost him money. That was demonstrated to the orange growers of California a few years ago, when dust covered fruit no longer commanded so high a price as when free from dust. The result was an aroused interest in road im provement and in dust suppression. Appeals on the score of cleanliness and good health never stirred the Califor nians, but a slump iu the price of orai£es brought about a wonderful era of activity. The outcome was gratifying and California soon had dustless, oiled roads. In that state the oils possess a higher asplialtum base than the oils of any other section of the world, and when they are spread on the roads the volatile por tion of the oil evaporates and the as plialtum remains as a binder. "The almost immediate success of this plan attracted the attention of highway engineers throughout the world. In France and some of our eastern states it was at once assumed that oilir.g was the best road treat ment aud that the longed for solution of the dust nuisance problem had been found. This has not been proved to be the case, because In many localities the only oil available possesses a petroleum rather than au asplialtum base. It lias been found that when the vola tile portion evaporates the oil left be hind becomes greasy and similar in consistency to vaseline. Such quality of oil does not adhere and bind the road, but is picked up and scattered by passing traffic. "If, then, as the doctors say, dust means dirt, dirt means disease, and disease means death, dusty roads have no place in our national economics."
