ROADS BENEFIT
 ENTIRE COUNTRY
Non Abutting Property Owners Derive Profit from
 Good Highways.

Waship ston, Nov. 7.--The road building specialists of tie department of agriculture, in bulletin No. 136, en- titled Highway Bonds." have the fol- lowing to say about the benefit of well constructed highway to property owners whose property is not directly on the road to be improved:
 In planning the highway system or the main market roads, it will be found necessary to emit many roads the improvement of which is greatly desired by abutting landowners. The fact that such property holders must pay a tax Tor the bond issue is only an apparent injustice, for if the high way system is well planned the entire county will feel the benefits of the | improvement. As rule, main mar ket roads reach the majority of pro- ducing areas. and when they are im- proved all land values tend to in- crease
 The fact that cities and larger towns are frequently taxed for bond issues to build highways outside of their own limits is sometimes made a point of debate in bond elections | S9 of the county wealth is within the corporate limits of such cities and i towns, highway bond money should also be used to construct their streets. It is even urged that the expenditure should be made prcpcrtionate to the assessed valuation within the city linn | it's. If the proceeds of highway bond issues were distributed in this way their purpose in many cases would be defeated. The primary object of the county highway bond issue is to build county market roads and not to inn prove city streets. although high
 percentage of the assessed valuation
 may be city property. It is now
 known that the expenditure of city taxes on country roads is a sound
 principle, and that it is one of the best features of state aid for highways. In Massachusetts, the city of Boston pays possibly 40 per cent of the total state highway fund, but not a mile ol state-aid highway has been built
 within it's limits. New York City al
 50 pays about 60 per cent of the cost of the state highway bonds. Some
 state laws prohibit the expenditure of proceeds of state highway bonds
 within corporate limits of cities or l towns.
 l The improvement of market roads
 results in improved marketing condi-
 tiens which benefit the city. Most cities are essentially dependent up-
 on the surrounding countryAfor their Iprosperity and developmenti The de- l velopment of suburban property for residence purposes is also dependent
 upon highway conditions and it is be-
 coming evident yearly that whatever makes fer an increase in rural pop
 ulation must be encouraged. Since l the introduction of motor traKlc, lcountry highways are used to an in- creasing extent by city residents. In
 fact, the cost of maintaining many
 country highways has been greatly
 increased by the presence of city
 owned motor vehicles. The general advance in facilities for doing coun- try business from town headquarters
 when roads are improved is no incon- siderable factor in the commercial life of the community

FEMININE FASHIONS.
By Maude Hall.

New York, Nov. 1.-The semi-fitting long coat, as it expresses part of the costume, is shown to best advan- tage in the redingOte. This model can be changed ill. so many ways and adapted to so many purposes that it is sure to find greater favor as the sea- son advances.
 Lovely costumes are carried out in chiffon velvet Of course. there Is no difficulty in duplicating these designs where one has the taste and an ac- quaintance with sewing. Particularly chic is la blue chiffon velvet dress, corded silk being combined with the velvet. 'Tiniest beads work out a design which narrowly borders the lower edge and trims the front center of the bodice portion of it's velvet tun- is It is a tunic with small-sized bishop sleeves and but for them a i9reek model 'nl4ght have inspired the costume. Over it goes a silk sleeve less redingcte confined by the broad est and flattest of self-belts. This also glistens with rows of small jet buttons fastening the girdle under either arm. Had the velvet tunic been heightened six inches it would have covered the narrowest silk under dress-the one originally invented to go with the shaped, flaring overdress so recently graduated into circular skirt The touches of white for which every marine blue frock is the better are applied to this silk and velvet creation in the form of plaited ma line waist frillings and chemisette headed with an outstanding ruche.
 Tunics Still Popular.
 The tunic is too old and trusty a friend to be parted with in a hurry, so it remains with us, though in a slightly different form; instead of be- ing attached to the skirt it is now a part of the coat. The basque of the coat rests upon it, and is often kilted or pleated. The waist still remains indefinite, and the belt or girdle which encircles the hips seems likely also to continue, for a time at least.
 Coats have grown considerably longer than they were. and the most fashionable coats later on in the win ter will reach to the knees. This Is most sensible as we'll as graceful length. affording as it does suitable protection from the cold, which the foolish little coats we elected to wear last winter effectually withheld
 Gabardine is so fine and flexible that no one is surprised to see 1t pleated in all possible ways. One ex- cellent model has a hip-deep yoke from which is suspended a widely side-pleated section, which, only part ly stitched down. makes very nar- row looking, but actually rather wide skirt.
 Below the self belt it's front center pamela single box pleat-is broken by hip-long black satin vest, which above the waist line opens narrowly over the elongated fronts of White

linen collar. A low-rolling gabardine collar finishing the satin vest brings line of blue between the white and the black materials on the fronts of a bodice whose low-dropped shoulders support narrow three-quarter sleeves. These sleeves, fitted closely to the forearms, are heightened by mousque- taire cuffs.
 Buttons Greatly in Evidence.
 Buttons are much in evidence at present, and the manufacturers have produced more attractive designs than ever. Among the more expen- sive buttons are the diamond, olive and rectangular shaped designs of eolored enamel, jet, galalite and pol ished wood Among the smaller but tons are oddly shaped designs of porcelain, crystal, pearl and galalite, which are used on blouses and chem isettes. They are in flower and fruit forms and some exceptionally pretty designs are fashioned entirely of small colored beads.
 The disk-shapcd button continues tits popularity, and1 is embroidered, beaded or crocheted as fancy de- mands. The embroidery is done With silk, wool or chenille in different colors.
 Other buttons are of carved wood. horn. bone ot pearl, in every design imaginable.
 The touch of the hand embroidery which distinguishes so many of the seasons successful suits appears OH q dark blue gabarGine model intended for one of those useful semi-tailored frCCks, which many women wear as entire street costumes during the autumn and under fur coats during the winter. It's blue satin underdress does not count for much. as it is all but hidden by a long back and front and short side overskirt pleated to the waistband and hanging in loose full folds about the figure.
 Its hip-lcng basque, buttoning straight down the back in common with a high-standing self-collar. has a magenta embroidered simulated plastron starting above the bust ana extending to the waist. Half way to the bust the embroidered design runs ever center-pointed section O. gabardine performing the mission or both peasant girdle and basque ana buttoning onto the back below the waist line just behind the underarm seams. In the downward slant or this girdle is gathered the small amount of extra fullness in the bod ices fronts. These, slightly opened below the min, accommodate the sharply tapered ends of the collar.

 IN OHIO FOR REUNION

 Held

Chilicothe, O.. June 9.-While but a mere handful of the men who fought in the war with Mexico. 1si6-1S4s. responded to the call of the commander of the pres ident of the National Association of Mex lean War Veterans to meet in annual reunion here today, the war spirit was dominant with those who were present.
 Capt John A. Fisher of Chlllicothe, despite his more than 90 years. welcomed the less than a dozen survivors who were guests of Chillicothe for the two days celebration. He Is president of the National associationt
 Capt Frank A. Hardy. aged 95, of Piqua. O., regretting his inability to attend the reunion of Mexican veterans this year, wrote:
 "It seems thaNone of the most four fshing industries in Mexico is brigandage and l have no faith that the commission at Niagara Falls or any other power on earth will ever be able to make a civil or industrious people out of the present race of Mexican outlaws"

SENATE MARCHING STEADILY TOWARD FINAL TOLL ACTION
Leaders Still Unwilling to Predict Day When Vote Can Be Taken. No Certainty of Vote at
 Night Session

Washington, June 9.-The Senate to- day marched steadily forward toward final action on the tolls exemption re- peal bill, but leaders tonight were un- willing to predict the day when vote can be taken.
 Even with a night session tonight there was no certainty of a. vote on the first proposition to be disposed of. the so-called Simmons Norris amendment, qualifying terms of the bill Senator Borah. an anti repeal leader predicted that this amend ment alone would be debated four or five hours Action within the next day or two. however. hardly esu be avoided un- less there are unexpected developments or an unlocked for filibuster or the part of the anti-repealers
 Senator, Tillman of South Carolina to- day made an unusual speech, criticizing the President in vigorous terms for bring ing the tolls issue before the country at this time and endangering the chances of the democratic party in congressional elections next fall
 Senator Tilman announced he would vote for repeal only because he felt his state party convention had freed him from the tolls joker in the Baltimore platform.
 Tt staggers my commonsense. and have been unable to understand just why he projected the fight on his party at this time, '- he said.

SENDING
 HOARDS OF GOLD TO
 EUROPEAN NATIONS
S30,000,000 Exported in Month-Con- tinued Outflow Excites Consid- erable Comment in Bank
 ing Circles

New York June s.-Five million and five thousand dollars in gold was en- gagged here today for shipment to Pars. The continued outflow from this port 10 Europe has excited considerable com ment in banking circles. On the present movement which began about one month ago, SSo,0OO,0o0 has been exported.
 Earlier in the year s16,00o,0o0 went out. Of the totals s2,0oo,ooo was in bars, in- addition to the s2o.. previously, and the balance in eagles and double eagles taken from the subtreasury.
 Coin was not in demand until the sup ply of bars of requisite fineness was ex- hausted.
 Various reasons are given for the drain on the United States gold reserves. The most plausible is that Europe Is taking out gold in exchange for resale to this country of about sl5.Oco.ooo of American securities.
 That Europe, particular London, mas been a steady appealer of and seller of Americans in moderate volume for months past, is the testimony of competent ob- servers.
 Unsettled conditions in Paris and east cry Europe contributed in no small de- gisss to the unloading of American ser curities abroad.
