pounds in his pockets. For many months he
wandered through Central Europe traversing
Germany, Switzerland and Northern Italy. often

notes on the native passion for ornament and
susceptibility to the charms OF raiment:

one will look at them. for pins are out and but

the one thing they all consistent In Is a
strangely good taste for color combination They
never indulge in the combination of gaudy colOrs,
never affect an inharmonious color scheme. thus

in color does not arise in people who are left
to themselves and nature.

Afterward in conversation with Mr..

Good ROADS
STATE PROPOSES TO GIVE
COUNTIES AID.

Representative Il. s. Wertz, Of
Wayne county. introduced In the Ohio
legislature, Wednesday. bill which
contemplates the beginning of perma-
nent roadway construction in Ohio.
The bill follows substantially the
state Aid" road laws now in opera
ton in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Rhode Island, and New York which
provides in substance that whenever
any county or township in the state
of Ohio desires to construct perma-
nent highways, they shall make appli-
cation of state board OF road COM
missioner which is composed OF a
director of public roads. his chief
clerk and the secretary of agriculture
of the state of Ohio.
The director of public roads must
be a competent civil engineer and
when the application is made by any
county, the director shall require a
survey of the proposed Improvement
to be made. He shall also make maps,
plans, and specifications, and submit
an estimate of the cost of the i'm
provement The county officials, II
they then desire to construct the
road, shall certify to the director OF
roads, their approval Of his plans,
specifications and estimates. The con
tract Is then placed with the lowest
bidder, or the county or township
officials may construct the roads
themselves, using the material and
the two.day men available. When
the road is constructed, the state pays
one-half of the cost, and the county
one-fourth, and the township in which
the Improvement is made one-fourth
The bill appropriates $264,000
which is made available Jan. 1st,
1905. This amount is divided equal
ly among the counties of the state o1
Ohio. This amount, together with the
amounts raised by each county. will
pay for the construction of probably
four or Ave miles of road way in eacf
county.
1t is left optional with the counties
of the state, whether or not they con
struct any improved roads. 1t Is the
intention of the bill to provide for .
systematic improvement of the public
highways and this beginning, while
very small, looks to the gradual i'm
provement and construction Of perma
nent roadways in the state of Ohio.
