COMMISSIONERS PLAN
 A THREE-DAYS' TRIP

Little Rock, June. 7.-Commission- CTS Dye and Highfall and Engineer Kingsley are planning a three-days' preliminary trip, about June 16, over the route of proposed 125-mile state highway to extend from St. Francis, on the Missouri line in Clay county, through the county seats of Clay, Greene, Craighead, Poinsett, Cross and St. Francis counties, to Forrest City,
 This stretch of gravel road is de- signed to be a part of the proposed Duluth h-to-Gulf- highway, which is now palned to cross the river at. Cape Gi- rardeau, and ru ndown the east bank of the Mississippi. It is hoped, how ever, to induce change of plan by providing a fine stretch of road as proposed.
 The road would run along the side of Crowley's Ridge and would be at all times above high water. It passes through a section of country where the finest gravel is found in quantities. The roadway would be 16 feet wide, and the berm P feet. It is proposed to organize a great improvement dis trict along the road embracing all territory for three miles on each side. It is estimated that the road will cost $4,000 per mile, and 30 or 20 year bonds would be issued to cover the cost. This would be only a nominal cost upon the property owners. It is planned to hold county road institutes in each county seat to aid in the for nation of the district. At Forrest City this road would intersect with the proposed Ocean-to- Ocean highway, be- ing promoted by the Southern Nation al Highway Commission.
 Considerable work is being done on the road now in Missouri by the Northeast Arkansas and Southeast Missouri Highway Association, of which Commissioner Highfall is secre- tary.
 It is also planned to begin the inn mediate circulation of petitions for the formation of districts to build roads from Paragould to Hopkins Bridge, on the St. Francis, distance of eight miles, and from McNeil to Magnolia, distance of six miles.
 The first of the proposed county road institutes to be held by the com

 The capital prize, a five-passenger Ford touring car, cut of which ap- pears herewith, has been ordered and is expected to be received here within the next week or 10 days. The man. agment of the contest this morning re- ceived a letter from the dealers agency for the Ford stating that a carload of these machines was on the way to Lit tie Rock from the factory and one would be shipped to Conway as soon as the car arrives. So great has been the demand for this popular car, that it is impossible to secure one promptly, but the contest association was deter mined to offer the best medium prived machine that could be secured, even though it could not be secured and placed on display on the opening day of the contest.

CAPITOL COMPLETION
 PLANS READY JULY 1
WILL EXTEND ABOUT HALF A MILLION ON
 NEW CAPITOL

Little Rock, June 7.-Cass Gilbert the New York, who is making plans for the completion of the new capitol
 is at work on them in his New York office. He is expected to return to Lit tie Rock about July l, and as soon as practicable thereafter, the commission will advertise for bids for the propos- ed work.
 The commission has about S500,OOO to be expended on the capitol, of which $4O,000 is for landscaping It is esti- mated that this will not be enough to do all the work that will be required on the structure. The basement, or ground floor, and a part of the sub- basement, however, will be completed, the various offices permanently install ed where they will have ample and convenient quarters, and the grounds beautified as far as the money will permit.
 The commission will be handicapped in measure by the action of the leg islature in restricting each item to the particular purpose for which it was intended, and the provision that un- balances from one fund must not be diverted to another. This is likely to make it difficult to secure de- sirable contracts.

Washing Net Curtains.

To wash net curtains soak them in an
earthenWare bowl or porcelain tub over
night in a suds of white soap. First
wash them through one soapy water to
remove the surface dust. Then put
them in the suds made of shaved white
soap, boiling water and borax-two table
spoonfuls of borax to four quarts of
water. In the morning wash the curtains
gently in several changes of warm, soapy
water until they are clean and then rinse
them in clear water until all trace of
soap has disappeared. Blue starch and
dry them.
Net curtains can be ironed after they
are sprinkled. or they can be pinned
in shape when wet and so dried. Al
ways dry them out Of doors. as the air
and sun help clean them. Then if they
are to be pinned in shape dip them in
thin, blued starch, If the net is white, or
in starch to which a little tea has been
added If they are ecru, and pin them
to a sheet fastened firmly to a heavy
rug or carpet. If YOU have curtain
frames for the drying Of lace curtains,
net curtains can be spread on these and
dried in the shade out Of doors

DELICIOUS CANDY
MADE AT HOME

Candies made at home are cheaper than
those bought. and are generally more
wholesome. because they are simpler and
the materials used are pure. Probably
no home cooking could be more carefully
and hygienically done than is the cooking
terials used in their making are Of as
good quality as the materials found in
the ordinary home kitchen could be- But
there is always temptation to children in
cheap, Over-cOlored and Oyer-fiavored
candies. which be sold for small
price because they are made of inferior
materials. homemade candy can be SUBJ
stituted for these harmful sweets.
In family where there are many
young people who like candy a little
money can well be invested in the pur-
chasing of a few candy making utensils.
A small double boiler and wire fork
for the making of dipped chocolates and
few small granite saucepans will form
the foundation of a pleasant little candy

sugar thermometer for the making Of
more elaborate kinds of candy, can be
amount of money to be spent on materials
for candy can be limited. one week the
candy makers could buy a cake of choco-
late and five pounds of graduated sugar,
another week confectioner's sugar and
nuts. another week chocolate for coating
candies and flayoring essences, another
week ginger and more granulated sugar.
and so on. from week to week, the store
could be increased. Milk and an occasion
al egg white might be donated from the
family larder.
No candy makers can be said to un-
derstand their work unless they can make
good molasses candy To do this boil
four cupfuls of granulated sugar, two
cupfuls of molasses and half a cupfu
OF vinegar until the mixture forms crisp
string when little of 1t is dropped in
cold water. Add a tablespoonful of bak-
ing soda, and cool in buttered dishes
When 1t is cool enough to handle pull
