Queer Marriage Ceremony That Was
PerfornneS IN Japan.
The tragic ending ct a Japanese
love story is reported 10y the Japan
Chronicle from Tsuzuki. little seaside
village In the province of Shizuoka
Ono Matsusaka. twenty Years Old.
Eel In love with ono O-bun a girl
seventeen years old The young
couple sought the consent OF their
parents. and the father and mother Of
the girl refused 10 sanction the union.
The two lovers decided TO commit sui.
eide rather than be separated BY ap-
pointment they met az a trystinS place
that had been the scene OF their love
making and embarked In a fishing
boat At point some distance from
shore they bound themselves together
with some cloth brought along TO serve
that purpose and threw themselves
into the sea.
Committing ''shinju.~ as lovers sui
cides are called in Japan. Is such an
ordinary occurrence that little atten-
ton is attracted by II. but this tragedy
was followed by something exceptional
IN Japan.
When the two bodies. still bound to-
gether. were washed ashore the on
Gals who examined them turned them
over 10 their respective parents. The
villagers were so deeply affected that
they called upon the two bereaved
families TO do Justice to the boy
and girl by uniting them In marriage
after death The mayor OF the village
was especially insisteut that the rites
be performed. so that the deceased
might be safely united In The next
world" The parents agreed. the cere-
moDy was carried out In due form.
and presents were exchanged between
the two families. The ceremony was
legally registered just as II II had
taken place before the deaths or the
bride and bridegroom

The Cost Of Bad Roads.
What do bad roads cost.


The usual question is. What do
good roads cost" Statistics show
that they call for an expenditure of
from 800 to $4,000, depending on
circumstances and conditions.
What do bad roads costl That
is looking at the problem from the
other end. They cost this country
more than one billion dallars an
nually. This loss constitutes
tremendous economic question, and
the conservation of such an amount
of money is one of the most impor-
tant matters before the people
to-day.
The average cost 10 haul one ton
of farm produce one mile in the
United States is % cents. In
Europe it is just : cents. If our
roads were good roads like those
of Europe, the saving in transpor-
tation of farm produce in the
United States would amount to
S250.0O0,OOO each year.
1t cost IS cents per bushel To-
transport wheat from New York to
Liverpool. but 1t cost the farmer
"a cents per bushel TO haul the
average of 9.4 miles from his farm
10 the railroad shipping point near
est him. The agricultural pros
duction alone of the Uuited States
for the past eleven years amounted
To $4,000. 100000. but it cost more
20 take this product from the farms
70 the railroad stations than from
the same railroad stations to the
American and European markets.
The saving in moving this pro-
duce over good highways instead
of bad ones would have yielded
enough money to build a million
miles of good roads, according to
official estimate.
The waste caused by bad roads
Is incalcuable. There are many
considerations and savings that
cannot be be estimated in figures.
To spend money on bad roads is 10
sink it so that no return can come
from it; TO spend money on good
roads is to get results and to secure
a permanent investment.
Good roads are the cheapest in
the long run. Look at the ques-
ton from both sides and no other
conclusion can be reached. Rich

New Fashion Features.

For the fall and winter wardrobe
Lady Fashion has put her seal of
approval upon the short coat and
the scant, plain skirt" says Grace
Margaret Gould iuWoman's Home
Companion for October. She also
favors the Onepiece coat dress for
autumn wear, and whatever the
color of the fabric, she recommends
a touch of black in the way of satin
cordings or braid.
She likes the deep sailor collar
and she suggests trimming it with
either fur or MORE bands.
She says, Let the high waistline
be the vogue and use shirring wher-
ever you care to as trimming,
She has nodded her head in
favor of the collarless neck, but
she kindly says, Don't wear it if it
is unbecoming.'
Sleeves are long or short.
according to the type of gown, but
always they are small.
The peasant waist with the
sleeve cut in one with the
bodice continues to be fashionable.
Flat, deep lingerie collars. de-
cidedly quaint looking, will be worn
with many Of the smartest autumn
dresses.
The most modish evening wraps
are of black chiffon over a brilliant
color. Royal blue and black in
combination are much liked. All
The wraps are cut on slender lines.
Though veIvets. brocades and
matlasSes are in favor for evening
costumes, yet the transparent
fabrics are just as much in style.
The yelled effect knows no abating.
The matching blouse OF chiffon
or marquisette continues TO be the
proper waist to wear with the coat
and-skirt suit"
