ing the grade OF the city Of Galveston

the method adopted by the local street
railway company in raising its tracks
during the progress Of the grade-raising
work without even suspending the regu-
lar operation Of its cars temporarily.
More than fifteen miles of track are in
volved in the raising Of the grade Of the
various streets.
Filling material is pumped into the city
by great steam dredges direct from the
sea. The sand is held in suspension.
and floods the particular area, embracing
two or three blocks. where operations are
being conducted at that particular time
TWO or three laboTers attend TO the work
of jacking up the track and permitting
the liquid sand TO flow under the ties
making a substantial roadbed until the
dredge empties its next load through the
discharge pipe.
Practically the whole city is being
treated TO this grade-raising process. The
work has been in progress for more than
a year and il will take another year or
more to complete the big undertaking.

THE BEST coLoRs TO WEAR

Did YOU know that the eolors you wear
ave even more essential than a particular
afvie. For they have everything to do with
your appearance.
The auburn-haired girl can wear red.
unless she is very pale. Also cap she wear
green, yellow, and black Is becoming ana
oftan II the hair is golden, the various
shades of blue are attractive.
The common type, the woman with dark
hair. blue eyes. skin not clear, can wear
dark blue, gray, black plum and white
when all white makes up an OUTFIT. She
should avoid sharp colors. A woman with
lustreless hair should never wear a glossy
hat. as 1t makes her hair dead looking.
ASbrunette looks well in cold blue, yellow,
black and sometimes the deeper tones of
red. Many think red is exceptionally be-
corning to a brunette. but II only has a
tendency to make more noticeable the olive
tinted complexion. The blonde can wear
most coiors, though she mvst use care and
judgment, since a too vivid shade win
maire her hair dul-looking and give n
putty expression to even a good clear skin.
I Green is unusually attractive for a blonde
and when the complexion colorfng is clear
pink and white she may adopt the most
trying color there is-lavender.
