Woman, Don't Let
Husband Know All
BY MADAME VERNON
(From Chicago Inter ocean,

Don't disillusion your husband al
together. Don't let him know every
secret of your toilette. Conceal from
him the processes by which you re-
tain your beauty. Nothing Is 81 dis
enchanting TO man as to see his
wife's face nightly smeared with cold
cream. 1t is disgusting un-
necessary.
ANY woman ought to keep her hus-
band guessing all the time. He ought
to have to say to his friends, Well,
my wife Is the most amazing problem
know about She always looks
about 16. and she neither paints nor
powders
You can do this IL you will dis
solve a small original package OF
mayatone In half-pint of witch hazel
and massage the face. neck and arms
with this solution three or four times
week You will shortly find you
have lovely, soft complexion, fair
and dainty, without spot or blemish-
and then the best of II all is that
mayatone prevents the growth of hair
and Is absolutely harmless TO the
most delicate skin. Make the solu-
ton yourself.
"Bebeautiful, and don't let him
know how you do II"

To Give Life and
Bsauty to the Hair

(From London Hairdressers Review
More dull. brittle, faded and fall
ing hair results from too much wash
ing the head than fro many other
cause. II you want TO see your Gus
toners hair grow In beauty and color
and briiliance and luxuriance. stop
drenching and rinsing IL and depend
upon dry shampooing.
DRY shampooing once a week will
bring about wonders. Hard and scaly
scalps become soft and pliable.
Coarse. lifeless and splitting hairs
Will take on new life, become soft
and glossy and the natural color will
return.
ITO make a shampoo powder mix
ounces of orris root with ounces
OF therox. Sprinkle a tablespoonful
over the head and brush thoroughly
through the hair. Don't spare the
brushing This treatment tones up
the hair from root to tip, removes
dust, dandruff and excess oil, leaves
the scalp clean, cool and refreshed
and the hair rich, soft and silky"

tiles when mixed with crushed stone,
thus forming a modern road known as
oiled or protected macadam.
In Los Angeles county, Cal, many
miles of these modern oil or protected
macadam roads are being constructed.
Like many other states, California has
a law by which any county may OBJ
tain it's own highway commission, IN
der whose supervision the various high
ways selected may be improved from
funds realized from the sale Of bonds
voted for that particular purpose.
The heavy asphaltic oil used in the
construction of these highways is ap-
Piled in a new way. After experiment.
ing with various devices and methods
that finally selected and adopted is to
apply the heavy oil by forcing It on
the road under pressure Of not less
than thirty pounds per square inch.
For this purpose both the highway
commission and the various contrac-
tors are using a new type Of road oil
Ing machine. Steel tank wagons hold
ing between 1000 and LOO gallons Of
heated oil are used to convey the oil
from the oil pit to the road, where the
atomizlng machines, as they are called,
are connected to the tank wagons.

work accomplished with these atomic

tory not only on account OF The rapid
ity with which the oil is deposited, but
from the fact that the distribution is
so even.

MODERN R~oADMAKING.
Efforts In England to Meet Motor an,
Trolley Car Traffic.

Efforts In England to Meet Motor and
Trolley Car Traffic.
The following illustrates the efforts
IN England to meet In rOadmaking the
conditions imposed by motor and troll
ley car traffic:
A new and direct roadway is pro
posed between West Hartlepool and
Middlesbrough, near Newcastle, in the
county OF Northumberland, a ditect
line Of seven and three.tourth miles.
In designing the roadway the engineer
IN charge has given attention to the
possible development in both heavy,
slow and fast vehicular and motor traf-
&c. each Of which demands separate
consideration and possibly different
methods Of road surface treatment.
The plan accordingly provides for a
center footpath nine feet IN width, on
the east side Of the footpath a road for
motor and light, fast traffic twenty
four feet in width and on the west side
OF the footpatb a road for heavy. slow
traffic twenty-five feet in width. This
gives a width for highway purposes Of
hfty-6ve feet, The plan further shows
on the westernmost side OF the foot
path a width OF fourteen feet reserved
for light railway or trolley purposes,
making a total width Of land to be &C.
Quired Of slxty-nine feet.
A scheme similar to this will doubt
less control future roadmaking in Eng
land, and existing roads may be re-
constructed on a corresponding plan.
One Of the chief advantages in sepa-
rating the several kinds Of traffic would
be IN permitting different methods OF
g%urfaclng the roads to be used and
those best adapted to the traffic ac-
commodated. Another advantage would
