It 10 th0 0elieK OF tne olfecOor OF t0e
once OF public roads that such facts
should be impressed upon the people
OF all counties desirous Of extending
and improving their highways before
actual work Is under way. When that
has been done. he IL warmly in favor
OF the raising Of funds BY issuing
county bonds with tho restrictions
which the virginia Highway Law Inn
poses, viz: that all moneys % raised
shall be spent under the watchful
supervision of . state highway com
missioner, because otherwise the
money may b wasted.
Many farmers fear a bond issue as
they do the visit OF the chinch bug or
the Kansas grasshopper, but the bene-
fits derived from that method OF rais-
ing money for road Improvement arc
far-reaching and Immediate. while the
individual tax ON each is 90 small that
It IL scarcely noticeable. In reality.
borrowing money through the sale OF
road bonds Is like buying . house. .
farm. or q business on the installment
plan. The purchaser receives the oh
ject at once and derives the benefits
from 1t whiaei paying for itsAs the
benefits derived from perfected high
ways cover long periods Of time, fair
meas and equity demand that the ris-
ing generation should bear = portion
of the cost and that the increased cit
izeuship. always attracted to the lo-
cality By Q system OF goed roads,
should also aid in paying for the add
ed benefits.
Besides that, there is q financial
wisdom in floating county bonds for
road improvement In many cases
these bonds sell at a premium, and ev-
erybody interested gains benefit. In
some Southern states good road bonds
have brought q price 30 high that the
premium has wiped out two or three
years interest on the principal. In
Bradley county. Tennessee, but few
years ago the supervisors voted
bond issue OF $4,000. Those bonds
bore interest at the rats Of Eve psr
cent. so enthusiastic were the citizens
for road Improvement. and 30 much
confidence did they have in the local
ity in which they lived, that the prem
ium was 43o. 600: the cash sales plac-
ing In the county treasury $4,000.
It has been ascertained by the once
OF public roads. the bureau OF the fed
eral census. and the land and indus
trial divisions OF twelve great rail-
roads. that the building OF modern
highway immediately enhances the

CURRENT COMMENT.

Poeateli0 Tribune: The floods OF
1909 In America seem to be the great
1909 In America seem to be the
greatest that ever came under pug
lie notice. II was not 30 much a
one great food, but a succession
of foods, without doubt the Next
can hood about Monterey was the
greatest river food ever known, al
though the remoteness Of the local
lty kept from the public a true con-
ception OF It's horror. The geo.
graphical survey IL making study
of the conditions which cause inun-
datlons and Its record seem to prove
that hoods will grow worse each year
with the denuding of the hills Of
their res sryolrIng timber.
The one great change that has
heen produced In surface conditions
Is the reduction OF forest area. The
leasened absorption brought abOul
by this change causes not only de-
crease In precipitation because of
the decrease In evaporation, but
also an Increase In run-ofR of the rain
that does fall. thus lncreasink the
food tendency.
The record Is accompanied by dla-
grams showing ilood records Of sew.
eral important rivers for periods OF
~ TO "a years. Suggestions as TO
the storage OF food waters are made.
and Professor Leighton concludes
that the streams draining about one
third OF the area OF the country must
forever be subject 20 foods, but
that for the remaining two-thirds
of the area 55 or so per cent ol
tho food waters can be saved by
the utilization OF maximum storage
capacity. The cost Of such construc-
tlon would be enormous. but the
saving would soon return the entire
Investment.
Here In America one pays little

The girdle lining may be made ot stout lining material or of canvas; 1t has one more seam at each side than the skirt gird1e. Baste these seams and fit the lining first. When it fits per fectly stitch the seams and press them open, and over the raw edges of each seam, and at the center of the back at the left-hand end, sew length of feath- erbone, of the kind used for boning waists.
 Cut each length the width of the girdle, including the seams at the up- per and lower edges, then slip back the bone-covering and trim three-eighths of an inch off the end of each bone, allow ing the bone-covering to remain to turn over with the edge of the lining and make neat finish. The boning attach ment is not used to apply these bones, but they are f1and-run to the canvas with row of stitches i'll each edge of the casing Put on the lining, the boning toward the figure, and over 1t adjust the skirt girdle Be careful that the tracing thread down the centerfront of the skirt hangs straight If through any inequality in the size of the hips it draws toward one side, raise the side

REVIVAL OF BEADWORK x Beautiful New Designs in O1d-Fashioned Fancy Work

E FAD WORK is a perennial sort N of decoration that seesaws, now
 B H up, now down, in popular favor,
 but even when out of sight may always be depended upon for a reap pearance. The weaving of beads on a small loom into girdles, bands, chains and fobs was an innovation that at tracted many need1eworkers, and much of this work is still done. Just now the possibilities that lie III the reproduction of handsome and costly jewel necklaces through the medium of the beautifully colored cut jewel beads is making an appeal.
 Varieties of Beads
 The beads may be bought in several sizes and in numerous shapes. Besides the well-known round beads there are olive, oat and pear shapes. the latter used principally as pendant. The variety and beauty of the beads should prove inspirational to even the least ex- perienced. In the cut or faceted beads the colors of the well-known gems are reproduced-the blue of the sapphire, yellow of amber and topaz, the emerald and the amethyst, and when these are combined with pearl or iridescent crystal beads the result is decidedly pleasing.
 Stout silk thread is the best to string them on, and it should be waxed to prevent rubbing and fraying. Each of

The green straw hat, turned up sharply at the side in the flashing cavalier style, is one of the extre1ne novelties of the season and will besa favorite for mid summer wear. The cavalier hat, of course, is trimmed with a sweeping ostrich plume in the same shade as the straw.
 Some Points in Making the New Skirts
 Some of the skirts shown this season embody ideas that are a little different from the ordinary skirt construction, and though they do not present any great difficulty, an explanation of the methods may prove helpful. Of several I select one that is cut with the front panel and the girdle in one, model that is very satisfactory for wearing with separate waists, as there is certainty of waist and skirt keeping we'll together, and all difficulty with belts is avoided.
 The sides of the skirt are cut in the circular shaping, but with a seam at the hip, dividing each side into two gores and avoiding the sagging that is almost inevitable on the bias line of a circular skirt. For convenience in fit ting, the girdle also has seam at the side on line with the side-seam of the skirt. The skirt seam may be fin- ished as 1ap-seam, turning toward the back to correspond with the seams of the front panel, or may be pressed open; in either case, the girdle seam should be pressed open
