What the BrOwnIOW Bill will do
for the Farmer.

There is a bill introduced il
Congress by the Hon. Walter P
I Brownlow, of Tennessee, and the
Hon. Jacob H. Gallinger, member
of the Senate from New Hamp-
shire, appropriating $24,ooo,oco on
the part of the National Govern
ment as National aid in building
wagon roads. This money is to be
appoTtioned among the States ac-
cording to their population, except
that no State shall receive less than
/ S25o,ooo.
Each State receiving National
aid from the Government must add
like amount to the sum received.
This will, therefore, cause the
spending of S4S,ooo,o 900 for roads.
and will build from 5000 to 1000
miles of splendid road and will
place in each State from 100 to
500 miles of fine hard road. which
will not be affected by frost or
spring rains, and on which the far
mer can haul the year round. tt
will be a great advantage to those
living near it. but it will be a far
greater advantage to the whole
country because it will be a won
derful object lesson and will prove
TO everyone that a good, hard road
which can be used the year round.
no matter what the rains are, is a
good and desirable thing; it will
make everyone who sees this road
md who uses it want more roads
ust like it, and it will cause more
Dads just like it to be built.
While under the Brownlow Bill =
he building of 5000 to 1000 miles
I splendid road is great thing, /
ct 1t seems to many that the great L
st advantage of this bill is the won
erful object lesson which 100 to !
DO miles of fine road will produce 1
hen built in every State of the

"sAND PAINTINGS"
Pictures In COIored Earths Used In
Navajo Indian Ceremonies.


NAVAJO Indian Ceremonies
To paint a picture in ordinary oils
or water colors, with a model to copy,
is a difficult task enough to suit most
people, but to paint picture by drop
ping pinches of colored earth or sand
on smoothed ground surface and TO
paint it from memory exactly as some
/ other artist painted it a year or more
! ago appears even more difficult. Such.
! however, is the process by which some
/ tribes OF American Indians reproduce
| from time to time pictures that are
! used in certain aboriginal ceremonies (
and that are believed to be exactly /
similar to original drawings that date |
back an unknown number of genera
tons.
In the Peabody museum of Harvard
university there is colored model of
one OF these paintings that a member
of the museum staff had the good for
tune to see in process of actual con-
struction, the picture being used in

FALL SHIRT WAIST SUITS.

and alack, with an actual boned pettiroat
to keep it bouffant or with the simplest
Quaker skirt just enough fullness to be
modest and not an enough to be an ex
pense and burden.
In fact you can vary this easily made
model to meet any social occasion that
arises in most very charmingy managed
American homes. 1t will be made Of wolfe.

raw silk and in the new and lovely
changcable silk known as pellet de sole.

the most popular of ALL in spite of the
fact that since spring it has been decided
~ in the bad graces of the fashionable
girl You see it made too big bid last
spring for popularity and suddenly, as
often happens to tho people, found itself
just common instead.
There were too many sales Of cheap silk
suits, they got to have a bargain counter,
hurried look. and were all but given away
with groceries, and then naturally fell
into dispute. But the new silks have given
these suits a lease of favor. These lus-
trous, changeable fabrics are quite of
forent from the old "Sheeny" silks. They
are in two shades. say brown on one side
and yellow on the other, and the yellow
shades through gold to deep brown in
vivid light changes to yellow and cream
