GOOD BUILDING ALL THE

Good-road building in this country has reached stage where for the next five months the road building will represent d million dollars a day exclusive of Sundays and legal holf- days.

California has is- sued $1s.0o0.oo0 in bonds with which to build state highways. the initiative 10 be taken the present season.

Of s5,O00. 600 bond issue. over s1. 250 OeO will be available this year for trunk line and state aid roads in Maryland Massachusetts will expend from state revenues over s1.000, eeo, for the con struction and maintenance of state roads
 Tt is expected that at least s5.OOO. = ooo will be expended on state aid roads and on trunk line systems in the state of New York, in addition to s7.000,o0g already raised bt local tax ation. More money is being devoted to road improvement in New York than in any other state in the union. Fnd the percentage of improved roads Ia that stats has increa sed from a Der cent ir 1904 to SO per cent. in 1909.

Iunnchson Napkins.

The simple squares of fine linen, with tiny scallop carefully button holed. are as fitting napkins as one can find. In the Madeira worked linen a simple design ennbellishes one cor ner. the pattern usually being one that leaves a space for ones initial or monogram The practically minded find a napkin of this sort wears in- fnitely better than the conventional frireed one, which, in time, shows un- slightly marks of laundering in it's ragged fringe.

Embroidery on Marauisette.

The handwork on rarquisette will not only be more effective but will wear much better if reinforced with the material. Baste under the pattern which is to be embroidered an extra thickness of the material. Embroider through both thicknesses,- and then. when the design is finished, carefully cut out the extra thickness close to the embroidery. The extra work entailed is more than repaid by the appearance of ones stitches. No padding is neces- if this plan is followed.

Stocking Washing Hint.

Hose should be washed on the right side and then turned and washed on the wrong, so they will be perfectly clean especial attention being given to the sole of the hose. Then in wringing out the stocking it is better if .hey are wrung across the width rather than with the length of the sole: this prevents stretching the arti- cle out of, shape.
 In hanging on the line. hang from the toe; otherwise the moisture gath CTS at the toe, and this has a tendency to weaken the stocking at the point

Convenient Sewing Basket.

A small sewing basket, fitted so that it is most convenient for the traveller, is about ten inches long, not quite so wide and a third as high. It is made of the willow twigs and lined careful ly. To the inside of the cover are fitted scissors, bodkins, needles, meas ure, thimbles and such other simple accessories, while the basket proper is fitted with a spool rack as well as a cushion. There is ample room left for ones favorite piece of work. To make the basket more individual it comes fitted with g lock and key.

Often it is necessary to change the hem in ones foulard gown which has been bought ready made. Do not hem it, in the accepted meaning of the term: instead, haste the hem in place and then run it, taking a very short stitch on the right side, and some what longer. one on the under; this looks quite as well, is d great economy of time. and then if it needs any fur fled

Some of these spoons have al ready found their way to this side and are being offered in the shops.

Opening a Fruit Jar.

When the top of glass jar is diff ficult to remove, try inserting thin blade under the rubber next to the jar This will usually admit enough air to simplify the removal of the top. If this does not answer, plunge the jar upside down, in cold water and let it remain there until after the water has boiled a minute or two. Then the top may easily be unserewed.

Lemon Snueezers.

We have had for long time the lemon squeezer of glass or porcelain, which fits over the top of the glass, permitting the juice of the lemon to trickle into the glass below. However, a little extra weight on the squeezer sometimes proves disastrous to the glass. Now these squeezers come fit ted to a stout heavy china or glass receptacle for catching every drop of the juice. By means of a tiny depres- sion at the top, which serves as a spout, the juice is easily poured into a glass.

The large pongce sailor collar, es- pecially the one that is cut with a point almost to the waist line in back, is an extremely effective touch to the dark serge suit If the suit is blue, coin dots may be embroidered on the pongee in q silk some shades lighter than the material of the suit. A band ing too. of handwork, enhances the beauty of the whole. There should be wide turn back suffs showing similar handwork.

Picnic Luncheon.

When the leaves begin to burst forth in sprig of green and tiny blue, pink or yellow blossoms peer from between the rejuvenated carpet of the aearth one longs for sally into the country. I One of the events of this sally is sure to be the basket lunch spread on some fallen log or smooth table of moss. Quite the most important thing the hamper divulges are the sandwiches, and the packer should remember there should be plenty of them.
 Sandwiches made by cutting white bread into thin slices, spreading them with a paste of cream cheese and pi- mentoes and putting them together with a lettuce leaf are dainty and nourishjng. The pimentoes should be chopped rather fine and the spread should be a quarter of an inch thick.
 Another sandwich made to gratify and satisfy the appetite has ham and eggs as the filling. Take hard boiled eggs, chop the whites fine and run the yolks through a colander. Grind the ham. Mix the yollls and ham together and moisten with mayonnaise. Spread on the bread and sprinkle over the chopped whites, then season. Press together firmly. The mayonnaise may be omitted if desired.
 Chicken sandwiches may have the meat chopped and mixed with shred
 ded lettuce, chopped nuts and may onnaise or simply sliced. salted and peppered. and put together with a. let tuce leaf. Plenty of black pepper and a generous spread of butter is the se- cret of good plain sliced chicken sand WicheS.
 Marguerites are an agreeable dainty for the basket Take unsalted waters, beat the white of one egg and two tablespoonsful of sugar just enough to mix thoroughly. Stir into this half cup of bianched almonds and half a cup of pecan nuts chopped fine. Spread over the cracker about a quar- ter of an inch thick Beat the whites of two eggs to stiff froth, add two tablespoonsful of sugar and whip un- til dry and fine. Cover all over the nuts heaping in the middle dust thick ly with powdered sugar and brown in the oven. Any nuts may be used in place of the oceans and almonds.

NOT PROPERLY INTERPRETED.

The New London Day, which has stood by Highway Commissioner Mac Donald through thick and thin, and especially through thin. has at last spoken out Editorially it refers to the newly constructed macadam between New, London and Norwich, and says it is already in bad state of repair in many places" 1t also adds: 'Evi-i dently there will have to. be a decided change in the manner of construction if anything like permanence is to be secured, and the change is likely to add materially to the cost The Day evidently has come to the conclusion also, that Connecticut has not in office a master of the situation, for it con- tinues as follows: The man who can solve the problem will not only per form great public service. but he will make lasting fame sfor himself The Day recognizes, also, as do all of the state papers, that the highway problem is made more difficult by the new kind of traffic to which it has been subjected since the advent of the automobile, which. when driven at rapid pace, strips off the road dressing and soon tears the road itself to pieces. In other words Connecticut methods or fOdu nave ldlleQ lO keep pace with traffic innovations.- Bridgeport Standard.
 It does not strike The Bulletin that The Days comments on the state road between Norwich and New London cast any reflection upon Commission CT Macdonald. This is road which has never been denied to the automobilists for use. and they were running their touring cars al high rate of speed upon it all the time it was under construction. Ever since it was accepted and open it has been considered 20 minutes run to New London for the big touring cars, and the speed maniacs have done this 13 miles in 15 minutes, and are now said to be trying to do it in 10 minutes. This sort of automobiling the roads were never designed for, and no road of the present time is calculated to withstand such traffic There is not a state in which good roads are used in this way that is not suffering from the damage just as Connecticut is.

COTTON IS NERVOUS
 AND UNSETTLED
Scattered LiquidatiOn9 Wall Street Selling and Rain
 Lowers Prices

New York, March 22e-The cotton mar ket was nervous and unsettled during to- days trading, with prices working lower under scattering liquidation, Wall street selling and offerings from local pears who were probably encouraged by fur- tner rains in the southwest, reports or unfavorable trade conditions and the faii- uro of the recent census report to sum- ulate fresh buying. The close was bare ly steady at a net decline of to 9 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 1 point on March, but generally 1 to ? points lower, under overnight sell ing orders which were attributed to the easier tone shown by the local market late yesterday. Liverpool cables were relatively steady, however and with the Assistance of little support from the bull leaders, prices rallied to net ad- vance of to points during the early trading.
 Offerings became heavier around 1450c for May and IA .S7c for July, with Wall street a considerable seller, and during the middle of the morning the market became weak under liquidation by trail- ing long and more aggressive selling by focal bears Stop los sorders were uncov- cred around IA 40c for May and below 14 30c for July and while the bulls gave little support on a scale-down, closing prices were at practically the low level of the day on the old crop months.
 Beyond the reports of further light rains in the southwest and unfavorable accounts on the trade situation there seemed nothing in the news to make a bearish impression on sentiment, and many were inclined to attribute the de- cline to liquidation by tired longs, and Wall street selling inspired by an unfav- orable vie of the general situation, legis- lative uncertainties and kindred matters. Private wires reported the presence of a new cotton pest in Texas in the shape of a worm, which, 1t is said, is to be investigated by the state entomologist, but it attracted comparatively little att tention and local traders were evidently inclined to take a favorable view of new crop prospects. Receipts at the ports to- day 1880 bales, against S012 last week and 12.0i5 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 1852 bales, against 2254 last year, and at Houston, 2337, against 1446 last year.

CANADA WOULD BAR
 NEGRO IMMIGRANTS

Winnipeg. March 22.-Officers of the immigration department left today for Emerson on the border to stop the entry into Canada of 165 negroes from Oklahoma who intended to settle in the Canadian northwest.
 The railway company has appealed to Washington and Consul General Jones has been instructed to see that they get through.
 Washington, March 21.-In response to complaints that negro immigrants from America would be refused admis- sion to Canada, the state department asked United States Consul Foster at Ottawa whether, under Canadian law, any American citizen as class could be excluded on account of their color.
 Today the department received re- ply stating there were no Canadian immigration regulations specifically re- lating to negro immigrants, if not in prohibited classes. and each possessor of S5 cash and transportation was en- titled to admission.
 This information will be telegraphed to American Consul Jones at Winni- peg.
