How to Decorate the Motor

Flower vases for the motor car are
always Of interest, SO fresh idea in
this direction has met with merited
reclamation.
These new vases are Of engraved

kind in milky white with faint ira

Again. the quaint Victorian pink
forms background on which trail
tiny roses. or gold colored enamel laid
over engine turned gold is a substitute
for the pink.
One Of the most recent notions for a
motor companion is to have it covered
with the cloth which Is used for lining
the car. Some Of the companions are
simply fitted with an address book,
mirror and card case; others are sup
piled with multiplicity Of etceteras,
including smokers outfit.

How to Clean furs.

If ones furs are dirty bran is sim
pie, inexpensive and easy material
with which to freshen them up. First
of all, however, the bran should be
heated. This is best done by placing
it in an earthen dish and warming il
in the oven.
When the bran is hot take it out, get
a piece of flannel and with this rub the
hot bran well into the fur. Then let il
stay in the fur for at least half an
hour, after which It should be thor
oughly shaken out. TO make sure that
it I'LL comes out the fur should be well
brushed until the piece is perfectly
clean.
Sometimes one cleaning is not sufii
clint, especially If the fur be particu
larry dirty, but two or three applica
lions should surely be sufficient.
The bran simply draws out the dirt
leaving the fur fresh and new I'm ap

How 70 Start q Garden Club.

A garden club may be started from
very small seed, but it Is bound to
grow, giving a new interest to many
who have never really known the
possibilities Of their country places,
the pleasure Of understanding a grow
ing garden. Such club was recently
started, and but few rules were
found necessary. A president was
chosen, secretary-treasurer and a
committee Of three to suggest the topic
to be written upon. All the members
must have gardens. All were privileged
to ask any friends to the meetings at
their houses.
A slight fee enabled small prizes to
be given-such as the finest rose to be
grown, the prettiest arrangement Of a
center piece, the loveliest bunch of
sweet peas, the finest peonies or the
best chrysantheMums.
At each meeting paper on gardens
is read. During the winter meetings
are held once in two weeks or once a
month. Topics are chosen with regard
to requests from members ON certain
subjects. The proper separating of
bulbs, when to plant seeds in boxes
and how to thin out the seedlings. Ex-
tracts from authorities on each sub
ject are read and compared, the ideas
often varying materially.

HOW TO FILL DINNER PAIL.
Workinemen Like Sweet Things to
Eat For Luncheon.

tat = or 6uVCHSOUs
What to put in the dinner pail has
always been vital question to the
housewife who must put up lunch"
each morning for the men of the fam
| lily. For week or two it is easy
enough to fix dinner pail so that the
contents will be both nutritive and
appetiZing, but by the end of the sec
ond month the meal that must go into
the pail has become a skeleton that
haunts the housewife all through the
day.
Years ago it was thought sufficient
if the dinner pail contained a wedge
of indigestible pie, a sandwich and Il
bottle Of coffee. but today the con-
tents should be more inviting. Many
still stick to the pie and doughnuts
and the remains of yesterdays supper,
not because they do not care, but be
cause they have not given the matter
sufficient thought.
Sandwiches. of course, on account Of
their nutritiye value, the ease with
which they may be packed ANA thci"
variety, will always form the basis Of
the dinner pail meal. But Il sandwich
need not consist of two thick slabs
of white bread with a thick piece Of
meat thrust in between There may
be many varieties of bread used aud

ton of large to small, amount of sand,
ratio of binder and even the color are
all important factors that influence
and control in the selection.
Where too much binder is present it
results in muddy surfaces, while on
the other hand, if there be too little
the particles fail to consolidate as they
should. An excellent indicator of the
quality, though merely an inspection
test. is an examination of the material
in the pit. If it is found to stand with
n vertical face, to require pick to
dslodge it. and If large masses occur
IN which the smaller pieces are &C.
mented together. as in cOnglomerate,
it may without hesitation be pro-
nounccd satisfactory.
The stone should possess like char
acteristics to those required Of broken
stone-that Is. it should be hard, tough
and durable, and the fine material that
is abraded should have the power of
cementing the individual stones to-
gether. The hardness is to take the
wear, the toughness to resist impact,
and the cementtous quality of the
abraded material Is to aid in replacing
binder that may have been removed
from any cause.
With respect to the hardness and
tOughness, however, gravel does not
need these qualities to the same de.
gree as broken stone, since it is gen
orally employed under conditions
where extremely hard material is I'M

cooperative effort is needed to secure
the larger benefits accruing to an en-
tire community. township or county.
With the determined purpose of Sc
curing better roads for East Lampeter
township DR.. Donald McCaskey began
his fight for the King road drag in
Lancaster county, Pa. This was back
Ill 1909, when DR.. McCaskey was a new
conner in East Lampeter. His vocation
was the practice Of medicine. his avoca-
ton "doctoring" the roads. His cOun-
try practice took him over practically
all the roads of the township. He was
obliged to travel on them at all seasons
of the year Frequently he got stuck
in the mud. meeting with serious trou.
BILE in making his professional calls.
he was never certain about reaching
his destination and often was prevent
ed from arriving in time to be Of great
est service to his patients. The fire.
quency of such occurrences turned his
attention to the seriousness of the road
question. He realized the usefulness
and possibilities Of the King road drag,
and he began experimenting with it.
Application on one Of the worst roads
in the county at once proved its practi-
cal efficiency.
The good roads doctor now began a
systematic campaign for better roads.
He became a candidate for the office
of township road supervisor He didn't
care about the office. but he did want
good roads. The campaign that fol-
lowed was red hot from start to finish
But when the votes We're counted he
had won his second victory for better
roads.
AS a public official the fighting doc
tor, as he had come to be known,
worked harder than ever for better

highway conditions. At personal eX-
pense he purchased large number
Of road drags. He distributed these
among farmers who would agree to
use them. A systematic organization
Of the section of the township roads
under his supervision was then per-
fected. He inaugurated what he call
ed road patrol system. which work
ed wonders in highway improvement
in East Lampeter township. Road
foremen were appointed who were del
egated to care for definite section Of
road.
The experience Of this Pennsylvania
township offers a valuable lesson to
every community in the improvement
Of country roads. The remarkable re-
suits obtained by the general use Of
the road drag through the medium Of
the farm foreman system is peril
nent demonstration Of what can be
done in road improvement in any sec
ton. Earth roads can be cheaply and
effectively maintained by dragging
This, of course. is not the only commu-
nifty in which this fact has been DEM
onstrated. but there are few. if any
in which Il more practical and efficient
system of road dragging has been
worked out.

But the road drag will not work

Public sentiment must be in favor Of
Improvement. ana there must be con-

dividual and independent use of the

the amount Uncle sam would gain by building trunk line railroad in Alaska. according to the calculations Of the Seattle Times. The Times figures out this way: In the Susit- Da, Panama and Kuskokwim valleys the government owns 4o,O0O, ,00O acres Of agricultural lands. The history of railway building is now countries has demonstrated that land is advanced in value at the rate Of slo an acre by the building of a railway through it. The conclusion is obvious, and the government is warranted in making the investment gs speedily as possible
 ! The calculation does not take in to account the increase in the value ci mineral lands along the line of ihe railway. which without the rail way would be entirely worthless. Nor does it take into account the one million dollars which the gov srnmeat would save each year by be. ing able to coal the Pacific fleet with Alaska coal instead Of shipping the fuel around South America from the Eastern States. In the opinion or the Seattle Times, such a railway far from being a drain upon the . government, would on its own books
 pay from the start.
