A attractive waist made of all

as simple as a be and at the same
time stylish and effective. 1t is cut
by a blouse pattern, having the
sleeves and bodice in one. The seams
are set together with hem-stitching
and frills of net finish them and the
neck.
Unlike many net and lace waists,
the sleeves are barely elbow length,
for in many of the new waists they
are long. In fact, one extreme or
the other seems to be the rule-either
very long, coming well down owe the
hands, or else ending just above the
elbow.
A waist like that shown is useful in
many ways. 1t is cut on the right
lines by expert cutters. Women buy
these simple lace and net waists and
use them as a foundation on which
to build much more elaborate af-
fairs. By adding chiffon drapery-em-
broidered motifs, fine net or lace
guimps, handsome ~girdles-they work
transformations and lift the waist
from the three dollar class into the

for the Past Year Will Approximate S185,000,-
OOO-Period Has Been One of Notable Achievements in Re-
Iation to the Improvement of the Nations Highways
Many States Had Good Roads" Day.

In 1904 the first road census ever
taken in the United States was con
Quoted by the office of public roads
OF the department Of agriculture.
This census showed that for that
year there was expended on the roads
of the country about $500 900. Our
road expenditures have steadily in
creased each year since, and in 1912
they Appropriated the grand total OF
$163, 600, 900, or more than double the
amount shown by the 1904 census.
AS the same percentage Of increase
was maintained for 1913 as averaged
for the period 1904-1912 the exenditure
for the current year should approx

However, these figures tell only a
small part Of the present road situa-
ton in the United States, for the past

the general trend and awakening Of
public opinion and public interest in

ment of the roads OF the country.
The practice of designating good
roads days by the governors Of
states acquired considerable popu'
larity.
During the year Alabama. Arkansas,
Kansas, Kentucky. Minnesota, Mis-.
souri,, Nebraska, North Carolina and
Washington by executive proclamation
set aside one or more days as good
roads days" upon which all citizens,
rural or urban, rich or poor. were
called upon to don overalls and partici.

the improvement of the public roads

by legislative enactment for an an

Down in Arkansas the governors OF
four states got together for a day and
worked on the roads with men of all
classes and conditions, On this day
Governor Hays of Arkansas was as
sisted by Governor Hall of Louisiana,
Governor Hodges Of Kansas and Gov.
ernor Major of Missouri, and it is
said that no humble citizen in any
of the road gangs did better work
than did the chief executives of those

not the actual work done on the
roads, but the moral effect of this

Pearls Most Fashionable.

Pearls are now the most fashionable

to secure a shade to match their COM
plexion.
Dark or yellow pearls says a
pearl expert, become dark

advantage by women of fair complex

for pearls has increased because the
ostentatiousness of diamonds and ru-

During the past 10 or Is years
pearls have increased enormously in
value. The trouble is that there are
SO few pearls of size and quality CON-
ing into the market. Only three pearls
of real worth have been found in the
largest fishery this year. Approximate
ly only one pearl in a million is of fine
quality.
The prices paid for pearl necklaces
range between $4,000 and 10000, but
they are sold up to $500, 900. After
all, 100000 is frequently paid for a
picture. Why shouldn't a similar sum
be paid for a necklace which adds to

MAKE BETTER TEACHERS

teachers are better able to instruct

to the board of education at its last
meeting of the year. The report is
the result of a study in ia cases of
mt who served as teachers four
years before they were married and
four years afterward.
Doctor Maxwell said that although
in the same number Of cases 1t was
found that before marriage the teach
ers were absent from school on an
average of % days during the term
and after marriage the average was
SO days, efficiency of the married
teacher was not lessened.
There were nc statistics in the re-
port to show whether or not these
teachers we're more efficient than the
majority who have remained unmar-
ried while teaching. and Doctor Max
we'll was directed to gather data about
the spinsters, SO that the board may
make more accurate deductions.

No wonder that every one Is an en-
thusiast for better roads. What II
good roads do cost money? The whole
automobile industry pays its equal
share Of general road taxation, and,
in addition, a large revenue through
registration and license fees which az
gregate very nearly $4,000, 900 a year.
This vast sum is generally applied
strictly to road maintenance.
The two great questions to be de-
termined in this connection are, what
part Of the wear and tear on our
roads is directly due to the automobile
traffic, and how can this wear and
tear be minimized? Autoists are not
averse to paying their full share, but
quite naturally they do not want to
pay any more, and at present we have
no very definite means of determining
just what this share is.
Public enthusiasm is largely over.
coming the want Of funds. Great in
terstate and transcontinental roads
are being built almost, one would say,
by magic. The Santa Fe Trail"
the Lincoln Way" the Meridian
Road" and many others have been
routed and so improved from local
revenues and public subscriptions as
to invite the tourist.
T~hirty-five states now grant some
form of state aid. Fourteen states have
more or less perfected provision for
utilizing the state convicts in build
ing improved roads.
Last year counties, townships and
special road districts issued $4,000
600 in bonds for building better roads.
Millions more were also raised from
special tax levies.
1t has been a banner year in all
lines pertaining to road improve
ments. Based on present incomplete
returns, the total construction of hard
surfaced roads during the last year
will reach $4,000 miles. The world
famed "Appian Way" only had a total
length of $50 miles.
Legislative enactments have been
extremely numerous, and the ma
jority in the right direction. OF the
Al state legislatures in session during
the last year, every one had under
serious consideration many matters
pertaining to the improvement Of the
public roads, and a large number
passed more or less fundamental road
legislation.
Three states-Arkansas. Montana
and South Dakota-joined the ranks
having state highway departments.
while seven others provided for re-
organization of their highway depart
ments so as to make them more eff
ficient and effective in carrying out
the work Of improving the roads of
the state.
The federal government has also
contributed to the good work. The
$500, 900 appropriated lear the close
of the fiscal year 1912 for rural de-
livery and experimental roads is be-
ing expended equally in each state. the
state or local community contribut-
ing 81 to every dollar appropriated by
the government.
The Office of public roads of the de-
partment of agriculture has continued
to give engineering advice and as.
sistance, to gather statistics and data
relative to road building, to test ma
t~erials, to carry or experiments, in
~vestigations and research, and to des-
seminate information by bulletins and
public lectures and demonstrations.
