The Car and the Highway


 Nothing has given so forceful an im- petus to the movement for road build ing as the automobile. It has caused states to begin constructing system of good roads which will. in time. be joined into a national network of high. ways vaster than and as enduring as that which bound together the Roman empire.
 It Is becoming more and moro evil. dent that the development of a vast and adequate system of highways to meet the requirements of the phenom- enal increase in automobile traffic bears mo relation to state boundaries, and that the time is not far distant when the federal government will step in and aid in their construction. There is a bill before Congress for an ocean-to- ocean highway which shall have a right of way mile wide. The highway proper is to be 14S0 feet wide Along this will be roads with macadam surface, steel tracks for electric cara stee' plate tracks for fast automobii les. and cement ways for motor cars going less than 25 miles an hour. It is planned to have this highway follow the thirty fifth parallel of latitude, ana to have a commission appointed com- prising two representatives from each of the states 1t traverses. This commio. sion Is to send out road-making parties to locate a preliminary route Another plan which Is being strongly advanced contemplates the construction not only of an east and west automobile high. way from the Atlantic to the Pacific. but also one from the lakes to the gulf. The feeders for these two great trunk lines are to be carefully laid out in each state so that they will form a vast and comprehensive system.

It was when the idle and splendid Forties" had closed, with their influence still lingering, and the strenuous Eff ties" with their presage of civil war, were beginning to arouse a great na- tion that the simple story of "The Lamp lighter was published. Uncle Toms Cabin" just had sounded battle cry and "sfhe Scarlet Letter" had resuscitated the mysticism of New England. 'The Lamp lighter,' with it's commonplaces, its med iocrity, it's ''prunes and prisms, was not of this new brood in American literature It was rather an extension of the For ties" into the "Fifties" in sentiment. manner and style. But it at once achieved a popularity second only to "The Scar let Letter. and Uncle Toms Cabin" What a strange triology! In short time 125,000 copies of "The Lamplighter" had been sold in authorized editions and thou sand of copies ''pirated." What gave this book its great vogue can only be com, prehended by a study of the times in which 1t appeared. And yet even today the novel is much read finding a ready circulation from public libraries. But it is chiefly young people who read it now those in the adolescent period of life. And 1t is good for them, for 1t is a clean, wholesome story.

selves to be above the vAgaries Of

Side by side with the low-cTowned

high-crowned hats which belonged to
the 1880 period. These are narrow In

round toQue which covers the hair and
head after the manner of a bowl; and
the huge Napoleon shapes which are
up sharply In front and which
jut out over the right eye in a most

that every taste can be satisfied this
We seem to have as many

In Striped Material.
There are any number of striped ma
terials which would make up well
like our model. The skirt has a
panel front and back and deep band at
foot cut in one, In these, the stripes
run horizontally, while for the sides
they run down. Pieces Of plain
are sewn at the corners of pan

tons covered with plain. The Mag

front and back; buttons are sewn on
the right side of front; the plain
zephyr is used for the collar and cuffs.

CROWN HATS WITH FLOWERS
Forget-Me-Nots and VioIets Much Used
for Trimming In Lingerie
Hats.

Forget-me-nots are used to form
complete crowns on lingerie hats. 1t
requires many punches for one crown,
but II they are massed on a founda-
ton OF net you will find that they
last longer"
Violets, especially when combined
with the cerise, are much used. They
form entire brims or wings on small
bonnets. Wreaths of these flowers
are made on fiat buckram or net
bands and encircle the crow with
great effect.
Sweet peas, in their delicate blue,
lavender and pink shades, are ideal
for afternoon hats.
LiIacs In white and lavender are
very popular in their graceful
punches. On huge hats Of chip or
hemp they are arranged in high ro-
settles, quilts and punches, frequently
combined with bows of purple velvet
or ribbon.
In other words, If the large flowers
for millinery do not appeal to you,
fashion has offered you a charming
alternative, and you have only to
choose from attractive small blossoms
to attain success and beauty.
The Tupelo journal., 1911-07-28
For Linen and Xolle.

A fashionable idea for linen and
wolfe frocks is to place a twelve to
sixteen inch colored band around the
bottom of the skirt and then intro
duce a touch of the color In the waist.
One white crash linen model had a
a band of Alice blue crash finishing
the skirt and three bands Of Alice
blue and white braid at the top OF the
bands. The waist had the peasant
sleeves, edged with a band OF blue
and one big revere turned back from
the surplice fastening at the front.
An imported white wolfe frock had
the straight oyerskirt effect edged
with a band of blue and M big re-
we're turned back from the surplice
fastening at the front.
An imported white voile frock bad
the straight ovtrskirt effect edged
With Russian lace and ball trimming.
Underneath, and reaching half way
TO the knees, was a plain band skirt
OF cerise messaline silk. At the front
OF the waist and on the sleeves were
lacings OF cerise. A hat of American
beauty roses trimmed with . simple
black velvet bow and q cerise para
sol with a dull black handle combined
to make a thoroughly individual and
attractive costume.
