CRAFT NOT MODEST
. IN HIS DESIRE FOR
/ STATE b0U[EVARDS
Thinks $5O,OOO,OOO Is Not
Too Much to Spend for
the Benefit of Com
ing Generations

Probably no man in Alabama is a more
ardent exponent of good roads than Capt
John Craft of Mobile. member of the
state highway commission, former presi
dent of the Alabama Good Roads asso-
citation, president of the Alabama oyster
commission, the possessor of so many
other titles as to make the enumeration
of them impossible. Captain Craft is ac
companying Engineer Keller on his trip
through the state.
Captain Chaft favors good roads. More
over, he has preached good roads through
out the length and breadth of the state
for the past 10 or is. years. He believes
the state should spend millions of dollars
to erect a system of trunk highways.
The exact figure which Captain Craft
names is s50,000.00o.
This is his idea. Construct 1000 or 25O0
miles of fine boulevard throughout the
state: assess a three mill tax against the
people of the state, and in 80 years the
state will have paid back both the interest
and principal
Captain Craft declares that this is MOI
visionary scheme. He believes 1t is notl
only possible, but that if the proper ap-i
probation for good roads We're felt, tho,
state would soon be engaged In the great-1
est epoch OF road building ever Witnessed
in this country.
Fifty million dollars is large sum of
money, but not to the man who thinks
in large figures, who dreams of the bene-
fit which future generations will derive,
or to a man of Captain Crafts calibrr.
lie believes in building for posterity, and
he declares that the state has no better
way to show its love for the coming gem
erations than by the construction of d
Tine system of boulevards throughout its
confines.
Mr. Craft will remain in Birminghami
today to attend the meeting called IND

the mines. Following the meeting hereI

After many improvements, which have
almost made of it a new place, the Holy
Innocents hospital will be formally opened
this afternoon, beginning at O'clock
The formalties will consist solely of an
inspection of that now thoroughly eff
cient institution under the general guild
ance of Mrs. Crawford Johnson, its pres
ident; Miss Lillian Sparrow, superintend-
ent, and Miss Edith Albro, assistant to
Miss Sparrow. In addition, there will
be present OTHER officers of the organ
ization which has given life to the hos
pital, as well as trustees and governors
to assist in making the visit of inter-
ested citizens who call worth while and
instructive.
1t is expected by the officers that at
least 1000 or more people viii look over
the hospital during the receiving hours,
| That opinion is based upon the fact that
from every church in this district last
Sunday an invitation to visit the hospital
today was extended by the pastors. More
over, the widening influence of the hos
! rital and the growing interest in the work
| indicates that such number of persons
will call this afternoon as a further evi-
| dence of their interest for the work.

something over one year. 1t was con-

WHAT WELL=DRESSED
MEN ARE WEARING

set designs like the clover leaf, sham
rock or the fieur de lys alternating
with fine stripes. A double cuff is
attached to the shirt and the collar
worn with it rounds we'll away at the
fronts to show the tie.
Fall Neckwear.
Mans neckwear nowhere 1t a
feminine article of dress-would be
called Futurist or Post Impression
list in effect; but though. man is evil
IDENTIFY following the New Art inspira-
ton In costume from afar, he will
not admit it, for these new neckties
with their stiff and set little designs
in gay colors are called in haber-
dashery shops wall paper effects"
With the gay tie go snappy striped
socks and handkerchief bordered in
color in neat and not too pronounce
ed effect. An initial embroidered in
the same color lends note of extra
distinction and individuality.
New Footwear.
The buttoned boot is now the ac-
copied model of good form for street
as we'll as evening wear and such
business suit as has just been
described will be accompanied, this
winter, by buttoned boots cut on tho
new, long-vamp line which gives the
foot slim and rather aristocratic
appearance and the medium high and
wide toe will have the call in some
sections. Such boots have tops of
black or gray calf, the black topped
boot being of course bit quieter
and more conservative In effect.
Many men are wearing white socks
with such boots and young chaps of
the undergraduate class affect white
silk socks with black pumps for
dancing. The unquestionably correct
footwear with evening dress is, how
ever. the buttoned boot of patent
leather topped with cloth; and such
boots are worn by well-dressed men
who are fastidous about the correct
ness of minor details of the ward
robe. Evening boots have the same
long, slim cut of street boots, though
the sole is bit more closely
trimmed, which makes the foot ap-
pear even more slender than in a
heavy soled walking boot. The even
ing boot has no perforated trimming
or tip to mar the smooth excellence of
it's patent leather vamp and the but
toned top is of fine twilled cloth.
Evening Dress.
The correct conventional costume for
evening includes, besides the black
coat and trousers-which should be
fashioned by the most expert tailor a
man can afford-a black waistcoat of
silk or velvet, cut shield shape and
having the smart Colonial points be-
low the waistline, frequently worn
with white buttons for contrast, a
pint tucked shirt of soft white linen,
high notched collar and white dress
tie with white gloves. Less formal
dress includes the dinner coat with a
black or gray waistcoat and bat wing
tie.
Overcoat Styles.
Overcoats of tweed, chnchilla and
montagnac fall just below the knee
and have raglan shoulders and full
graceful back, sometimes belted.
Dress coats of. oxford gray vicunna
have trimmer cut and a well-shaped
back Raincoats of cravenetted cloth
retain the full cut and raglan Shout
der popular last season.
Altogether there are many details
that the well-dressed man must OBJ
serve in order to be in the fashion
this season.
