made to order-but that is costly. and

Wan, in more senses than one, is the
tenderfoot of the animal kingdom.
The cobbler of genius has yet to ap-
pear Thomas Carlyle forgot the shoes
when che speculated on the philosophy
of clothes
Fashion is responsible for more
harm doing in the matter of footgear
than in any other of the numberless
vagaries with which she delights to
worry her submissive slaves. Nowhere
has fashion been so cruel and so de-
fiant of natures laws as in her deal
ings with the feet Look at the name
less suffering that she has for cen
turtles inflicted upon hundreds of mil
lions OF women in China But she is,
in this respect. almost equally cruel in
what we call more civilized lands If
all the groans and. cries of pain that
are daily wrung from men. women and
children in Europe and America by the
excruciating ills that result from the
wearing of tight or wrongly formed or
stupidity fitted shoes could be collected
and poured forth from one huge mega
phone the united sound of woe would
not be pleasant to listen to.
When fashion prescribes absurd
headgear we may lament the violence
done to our aesthetic sensibilities. but
there is usually, no physical injury
caused by inartistic hats. The case is
different with misshapen shoes Huge,
square toed shoes that look like river
scows, arrow pointed shoes that re
semble in outline the bow of college
racing boat, turnip-toed shoes that ape
the nose of a triceratops, and shoes
with peg heels and PERCEPTIONS fronts
that make women sway like ballet
dancers or totter like inexperienced
silt walkers. are a source of positive
injury as well as of discomfort to the
wearers.

meaning that the distance from the
peak down to the plate must be half
the width of the building. This steep
roof Is necessary to accommodate the
corn conveyor and distributing spout
which Is hung directly from the raft
ers. For this reason care must be
used not to have any cross ties higher
up on the rafters than shown In the
drawing. The studs are two by six
inches set "a inches on centers. The
braces A, B and G are all two by six
inches placed four feet on centers.
The rafters are two by six inches set
"a inches on centers; the sills, If crib
sets on piers, should be six by six
inches or six by eight inches square.
A tie rod one-half or flve-eighths
inches In diameter should be placed
across the building ten feet apart, as
shown. The guide boards are for dis
tributing the corn evenly in the crib,
but should not be nailed in place un-
til the conveyor Is installed, as In the
distributing spouts in the various ma
chimes, the spout is so arranged that
the center studs forming the driveway
may be extended up above the plate
line as much as three feet, increasing
the capacity Of the grain bin Just that
much. The roof may be covered with
any material, but a good composition

THE RoMNEY HAT.

Autumn millinery modes are unde-
clared yet, and changes Of fashion
will not be made known until about
mid-August. Meanwhile we see many
examples of the new round velour
felt with straw underbrlm and straw
band. This Is very fascinating and
quite light and useful for wear just
now in the holiday season, while 1t
will no doubt continue to be in vogue
In the winter.
The picturesque Romney hat is a
novel revival just now. Many pretty
straWs have been seen In this shape,
with long, curling feather encircllng
the brim and falling over the crown
Both the Romney and Gainsborough
shapes promise to be fashionable in
the winter season.
A curious dropping Capellne hat In
folded satin Is novelty which was
seen recently worn with a gown Of
satin charmeuse. 1t was more pic.
turesque than practical, but what mat
ters that IL 1t Is becoming?

BEST PLACE FOR TOOL HOUSE
North Side of Barn ls Favored on Ac-
count Of Goodness and Less
Needed for Stock.

The north side of a barn Is IL
many ways the best place to house I'm

and less needed to shelter the stock
than the south side. An iron roof not
in every way suited to stock will an
swer the purpose and Is cheap. One
of the main difficulties In shedding
tools is to be able to get at them as
needed. The drill Is often needed, fall
as well as spring, and lot Of tools
have to be moved to get at 1t, and
other tools are often hard to reach.
Perhaps a square house with drive
way through the middle and plenty
of rolling outside doors Is the most
convenient, for In that case each tool
can be moved out directly
Doors are not so very much more
expensive than the sides Of the build

venient the machinery will be outside

believe 1t is practical to shed all the
wagons in this cllmate-they must be
out so much anyhow that the protec-
ton of good paint which they carry
with them will be more effective than
shedding part Of the time, except with
wagons used for hauling which are
not In use through the summer.

Talk about long, lean lines-they
will be leaner and longer than ever.
Women will try to be thinner than
ever With the long sleeves there
will be longer and straighter skirts,

they are longer than are now worn.

FASHIONABLE FOOTWEAR.

Some ingenious person has had the
idea that we may as well have our
feet in harmony with our faces, and
so our hose are being made to match
our wells in pattern of fine cobwebby
lace which are not quite SO disfguring
on our extremities as they are when
masking the presumably delicate COM
plexion of some fair lady. Our length
ening frocks for evening wear do not
give our shoes the prominence they
merit, but Cinderella would find 1t
difficult to make any sensation in a
modern ballroom, l am, sure, with
nothing more remarkable than crystal
slippers, for footgear Is most dainty
and artistic and individual, no two

season is the slipper of gold or sill

MATERIALS FOR GOOD ROADS
Exact Proportions Of Sand and Clay
Cannot Be Given Definitely Be-
cause of Variations.

The exact proportions of sand and
clay for making the best sand-clay
road cannot be stated, as the proper
tions vary with the character of the
sand, according to its sharpness, per
centage Of foreign material and size
Of grains. Approximately, there is in
sand-clay road about eighty per
cent. sand and twenty per cent. clay
One simple means of determining the
theoretical amount Of pure clay that
should be added to any sand that is to
be used In the construction of sand
clay road is to fill glass tumbler
brimfull with the sand that is to be
used and then fill similar tumbler
with water; pour the water carefully
onto the sand until the water comes
flush with the surface, which will
mean that all the voids between the
grains of sand are now filled with wa
ter. The amount of water that has
been poured into the tumbler contain
ing the sand will represent the pro-
portion of volume of clay that is nee
essary to add to that particular sand
to fill all the volds with clay.
Having determined the source of
supply of the best materials for ma
king a sand-clay road, the next ques.
tion is the mixing of the materials.
and this varies with the character of
the subsoil, whether this is sand
upon which clay is to be added or clay
upon which sand is to be added 1t
will be found that 1t is much easier
to make sand-clay road where the
subsoil is clay.

Where decreases are shown, they
have been the result of reclassification
Of roads.
Strangely enough, New York Is the
only one Of the eight that appears in
the list Of the eleven states leading
in actual progress In road building in
the five-year period. In other words,
while the entire eight states maintain
their lead, 1t is merely because of
their earlier start, and New York alone
Is entitled to a place In the list of
states in progress in the last five
years. The states which are leading
in progressive road building are New
York, Georgia, Washington, Missouri,
South Carolina, Alabama, Pennsylva-
MIA, Tennessee, New Jersey, Florida
and Maryland.
The gain In New York, according to
the director of the office Of public
roads, is due largely to the fact that
the state has bonded itself for $50
900, and that $5,000,0OO a year more
Is being expended by the state, In ad-
dition to an equal sum by the coun-
ties, in building state highways. New
York is leading all the states in actual
progress at the present time, and II
the pace Is maintained she will take
the lead over Indiana and Ohio in &C
tual mileage In few years.
