Is afi,led, and this is more than offset
by the reduced strain Of hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point Of view is that the lay

avoiding grades nccessitates in some
eases running the road through good
farm lands or orchards or pastures
instead of going around the farm line
and building the road through old.

This Of course must raise a question
in the mind OF the individual land
owner as to whether the cutting UP of
his property by road yields him IN
dividnal advantages and SO benefits
his community as to offset the usc
of such land for a road or to over
come the Inconvenience of having his
land divided.
In this connection the Office of roads
points out that the running of road
and the resulting traffic through a
good farm. where there are good
sheep. cattle horses, grain. fruit OF
vegetables. have a certain advertising

EXPENDITURES FOR PUB
Lie ROADS.

An interesting comparison be-
tween the expenditure on pub
lie roads in the United States in
1904 and in 1912 has just been
compiled by the department OF
agriculture through its office of
public roads, showing the tre-
mendous growth that has taken
place in the movement for better
highways within the last eight
years.
In 1904 the total expenditure
on all public roads in the United
States was $79,771.417, but in
1912 the expenditures for this
| purpose amounted to Sl64,232,-
J 1865. The expenditure per mile
of public roads in the United
J States for 1904 was $3707. but
the expenditure per mile for the
J year 1912 had doubled, amount
ing to $I4.G5. The expenditure
per inhabitant in 1904 was $l.O5,
but in 1912 it amounted to SITS.
The greatest progress in road
building has been made in the
states which contribute from the
! state treasures toward the con-
} struction of state aid or trunk
) line roads. In 1904 there We're
thirteen states that contributed
I out of the general fund $2,6OI,-
) 600. but in 1912 there were
thirty-fve states which con-
) tributed S43, ,757. .43S. The states
having the largest expenditures
, for state aid and trunk line
roads in 1912 were as follows:
8 New York, S23. 100000; Pennsyl-
: vania, S4,0O0,00O: Maryland, 3d.

WHERE zICzAC
ROADS ARE BEST
Advice From Department Of
Agriculture.
GUT OUT STEEP GRADES,
The Department Advises Avoidance Of
Elevations on the Highways, Even at
the Expense Of Some Tillable Land.
Tho Longest Way Around May Be
the Shortest Way Home.

The average life Of horses and auto
mobiles may be increased and the cost
Of hauling reduced. according to the
office of roads of the department of
agriculture. by relocating many old
roads and the more scientific laying
out of new ones The natural tend
ency in road building is to build Il
straight road. whether it goes over
steep grades or hills or not. and pull
ing. over these grades naturally adds
to the wear and tear on horses and
vehicles.
The doctrine of the Office of roads is
that the longest way around may often
be the shortest and most economical

Bad Roads Are Costly.

Practically everything we eat must
travel over a public road once and
sometimes twice before we get it. and
yet some people still contend that bad
roads have nothing to do with the high
cost of living.

WHAT TO WEAR WHEN
YOU GO IN BATHING

To be truly fashionable when you
take a dip in the briny this summer
you must put on more clothes than
you take off. Time was wE6n the
bathing beach was the vantage ground
where all feminine fine points were
frankly revealed. Now all the reveal
ing is done in the marts, the public
restaurants and theaters, while the
charms of the belle of the bathers
are as completely hidden under the
up to date bathing costume as the
light under the proverbial bushel.
Skirts are no longer than hereto
fore, and the pantalette a La mode is
glimpsed generously below In ruched
and ruffied glory. Panniers Of diff
ferent colors are a favorite trimming.

and rubber flowers made into cor

aquatic fashions. Imagine what a

roses will add to your bathing suit;
and the spring touch impaired by a
bunch of purple rubber violets is sure
to win at the stretch. Certainly no.
body could classify these elastic vio-
lets as belonging to the shrinking va
riety.
The newest sandals are In bright
satin to match the bathing suit, and
are built like the late tango slippers
with divers straps. Nothing could be
more apropos than deep sea green
slipper with divers straps to cover an
under toe, now could there?
The sandals that perform the
aquatic feats Of covering bathing feet
and the chic flower trimmed hats that
top the ocean waves are not the sa-
lent features OF the newest bathing
suit, however.
