peramcutS. Just 50 it is with color.
We cannot always give Il reason for
our preferences, but we are sure they
exist, and most people are sensitive
to color to a greater or less degree.
Ones favorite color brings repOSc and
enjoyment, is conducive To health and
exercises an actual influence ou our
life and moods But even in gratify-
ing this preference wisdom must he
shown, for there are many Colors OF
which Il little is enjoyable when a
mass would be uncomfortable. Constant
ly surrounded by glow Of vivid scar
let would he like close companionship
with brass band, but a touch Of
scarlet amid dull surroundings is a
pleasing sensation.
AS far as effect is concerned, the
color OF a room makes its atmosphere.
1t may be cheerful or sad, coZy or dis
turbing, according to its quality and
force. Without color 4 room is much
like bare canvas, which might, but
does not, give 4 vivid picture of some
phase Of life. The COlorlcSs room has

occupants.
Color in house includes much that
is classed as furniture. 1t applies to
carpets, draperies and ornaments, but
it is first and pre-cmincntly applied to
wall treatment. In selecting color for
a single room or for an entire house
certain points must be borne i'll mind.
The first is that one person does not
make a home. 1t takes the combined
influence and personality of every per
son living under the roof TO give its
true character. Every book, every pic
turc, every carefully selected piece Of
furniture, brought into the house
makes it a part Of Il beautiful whole,
and no house can be absolutely perfect
without all these evidences of family
life.
Good rules to follow in selecting col
ors for any room are to make the
choice on this basis:
With reference to the light in the
room.
With reference to other colors in ad-
joining rooms.
With reference to the general char
acter Of the furnishing.
Interiors with a southern exposure
should be treated with cool, light col
ors, such as blues and green's in
various tones, water green, emerald
green and bln green; also the sil'

Sand CLAW Roads In Kansas.

Sand-clay roads are made of those
two materials, and i'll some parts Of the
south are held to be, for particular re-
gions at least, more practicable than
macadam. This construction Is now
being introduced in the sand hill Coun-
try of Kansas, where the sandy roads
have hindered agricultural develop
ment by imposing great difficulty on
he transportation of farm products.
Garden City, which is III the sandy
country, solved the transportation
problem by building a sand-clay road
through the hills south of that city.
Before this road was built farmers had
to haul their grain more than twenty
five miles by a roundabout way In or
der to reach market that is only ten
or twelve miles distant The property

counties are now considering the open.

handicapped by heavy sand hill roads.

crease per acre within the zone of in
fluence of an improved road would be
from 81 to 50 per acre. AS there are
about S50,0O0,0OO acres of farm lands
improved and unimprOved in the Unit
ed States the possibilities of aggre-
gate increase in value are enormous.
These figures constitute conclusive
evidence Of the immensely of traffic on
the common roads. They do more
they give food for reflection as to
where the cumulative losses in wear
and tear of wagons, harness and
teams, due to poor roads, will land us
on the debit side. Nobody can ever
approximately estimate this drain, but
everybody must know it is in terms of
millions.
The loss In dollars is serious enough
for grave concern, but when the ad
ditional charge is made that bad roads
are a menace to our institutions, our
health and our educational develop
ment it constitutes an indictment of
such gravity as to demand paramount
consideration Hundreds of millions
of fertile acres remain untitled while
the insanitary and unwholeSome city
tenements are crowded with human
beings whose standard of living must
result in their mental, moral and phys
ical decay.
1t is not generally realized that our
2,155,OOO miles of road constitute a
great source of disease BY means Of

system. This is particularly true of

Farm Lands Will Be Settled More
Rapidly, More Good Crops Win Be
Raised, and the Consumer viii Re
ceive Supplies at Smaller Prices.
\ team of horses struggling along
mud road in the endcavor to draw
half a load affords Il striking object
lesson of road Improvement when com
pared to Il team drawing heavily
loaded wagon at a comfortable trot
along a stone surfaced road. This iSO-
lated example must be multiplied by
100000 in order to obtain the cumu-
lative effect of bad roads upon traffic
in the United States. Not less than
$3.50, 100000 is the useless tribute an
nualIy levied upon the people of the
United States by its bad roads.
In 1896 Il widespread inquiry made
by the office of public roads indicated
that the average cost of hauling on
roads in the United States was %
cents per ton per mile. In 1906 the
bureau of statistics ascertained from
its $500 county correspondents that
the average cost per ton per mile was
about % cents and the average length
of haul 81 miles.
The high cost of hauling is not the
only burden which the American
people are carrying by reason of their
bad roads. In traVerSing Il region of
country isolated from markets by rea-
son of bad roads one is struck by the
wastes of untitled land and by the
lack of variety in the products. This
is a condition more frequently due to
lack of adequate transportation facili-
ties than to lack of industry and intel
ligence of the inhabitants.
The point may be illustrated by as
Suming Il series of conCentriC circles
to be drawn about Il market town or
railroad station, constituting zones of
production in all of which the roads
are uniformly bad. Within the first
zone all products can be delivered to
market at Il profit. Within the second
zone certain products must be elimi-
mated because of the length of haul.
Milk, small fruits and certain kinds
of vegetables requiring quick delivery
and careful transportation might be
cited as examples.
In the third zone still other products
must be eliminated because of the
prohibitive cost of hauling. The
fourth zone will include only those
products which can be held until the
roads are pasSablc and then hauled
long distances and sold at a profit
Beyond this zone the land must be
left unproductive or utilized for graz
ing and timber.
Every Improvement in the roads
leading from this market widens these
zones, makes unprOductive land pro
ductive and enables the farmer to eX-
crciSe wider discretion in determin-
ing the character of his crops. The
prosperity of the individual farmer be
comes far greater the traffic of the
railroad increases, the consumer re-
ceives better supplies at lower prices,
and thus the beneficial effects continue
in an ever widening circle.
While it is impossible to assign an
arbitrary percentage or amount to rep
resent the increase in land values by
reason of road improvement, it is gen
orally believed that the average in

by men who for the most part know
little or nothing about either the sci
ence or the art of road building. There
are today more than 1000 petty road
all receiving compensation.
Very few of these men devote more
than Il fraction of their time to road
work, because their interests lie else
where and their compensation is too
small to enable them to devote their
entire time to the work. 1t is not sur
prising that Il century and quarter
of this kind of supervision has result
ed III the present chaotic condition of
our public roads. The reforms that
should take place will provide a com
paratively small body of trained, com
petent road builders devotimg their en-
tire time to continuous road work.
Not only must the roads be built by
trained men. but they must be kept
in repair
The road building era has already
begun. Already great strides have
been made in recent years toward
bringing about these needed reforms
in the road laws and administration,
in providing more adequate revenues
and in deviSing methods of construC-
ton and maintenance adapted to the

HASKELL'S HIGHWAY PLAN.
Oklahoma Governor Advocates State
Good Roads Commission.

Good Roads Commission.
Governor Haskell said recently that
he will recommend to the Oklahoma
legislature, possibly at a special Ses-
sion, the creation of n state good roads
commission and the office of state en-
gineer and will favor the continuance
of good roads from one county into
another.
THE building of roadS-that is, per-
manent and good roadside said, lis
quite as large an undertaking as build
ing railroads. They should be of large
extent and should not be stopped arbi-
trariy at the county line just because
the authority of the county commits
siOncrS does not extend into the next
county. The way to build our roads
state wide is to create Il good roads
commission to act as Il consulting
board for the various sets OF county
commissioners. The engineer of the
board would, In fact, be a state engi-
neer, who would plan the best surveys
for good roads from Il state standpoint
and lay the plans before the sets of
county commissioners for approval
and the voting of the necessary bonds
to defray the expense by counties as
must be done under the present good
roads law. The only thing that the
state can furnish is convict labor"

The influence of such things may he

TO some degree.
The choice of color the style and ar
rangcmcnt of furniture. even the pic
lures which adorn the wallis, all have
their part in developing the men and
women who inhabit the home. Com
parativcly few persons have given
much thought to the study of color,
and as a result its selection for house
or furnishings has been more the re
suit of chance or miSchanrr than OF
good judgment. Color gives atmoS-
it brings sense Of comfort and salts

lacking the house has failed to be Il
home in the fullest sense of the word
For one who has never studied color
the best advice is to choose quiet tones
and copy nature rs far as possible, If
one has a favoritr color il should sur
round one in either house furnishing
or personal adornmcnt whenever suit
able. Why not choose color$ accord

Scientists throughout the whole
world are pointing to Honolulu as
the one place from which Halley's
comet may be viewed to the best
advantage. Not only Is the atmos-
phere clearer here than In any other
part OF the globe. but climatic condi-
lions are much more favorable for a
prolonged study of this wonderful
phenomena. The College OF Hawaii
has all the instruments necessary
with which to view this comet, but
at present these are rotting In their
warehouse Just because the general
public will not come forward and
lend their help and. aid In having
these same Instruments set up, even
In temporary building.
These instruments were given to
the College OF Hawaii by the Fed
eral government and cost $4,000.
They comprise full set for the
study of comets and other heavenly
wonders and only await the gener-
osity OF the public to be erected.
Considering the publicity that Ho-
nolulu and the Territory is being
given by the outside world, It does
not rebound to her credit to appear
backward when such n remarkable
event Is to be noted by the scientific
world.
Halley's comet will be visible to
the naked eye from Jan. Is until

left In which to erect a temporary
