STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
ASKS MANUFACTURERS TO
CUT PRICE.
WOULD CREATE SENTIMENT
in FAVOR OF CONCRETE ROADS
Concrete at Cost Would Save Counties
$1,000 Per MiIe-commission's Visit
at state Fair Attracting Wide At
tsntion-Lessons in Bridge construe-
ton.

Ames, Sept. .. Cement manufac-
are considering request made by the
Iowa state highway commission that
they sell cement to counties of the
state at cost. II this policy is adopted,
saving of $1,000 per mile can pc
made in the laying of cement paving,
according to Thomas Fl. Macdonald,
engineer for the commission.
The commission is anxious to get
every county in the state started on
building permanent roads The high
cost has seemed prohibitive and to
overcome this, in measure, the ce-
ment plants have been requested to
sell to counties at the wholesale rate.
Save so Cents Barrel.
Figuring 1000 barrels of cement to
mile of paving, and a saving OF 90
cents barrel at this time of the year
on the cost the total reduction would
be $1,000 mile. Earlier in the sea-
son, when the material is sold on
smaller margin, the saving would be
between $500 and $700 a mile, Mr..
Macdonald asserts.
Many supervisors who are visitors
at the state fair have been visiting
the exhibit of the state highway COM
mission, where they have been given
practical lessons by means of pictures
in what kind of br IS, roads and
culverts to build and what to avoid.
The old covered wooden bridge over
the Raccoon river at Des Moines is
one of the pictures on display as a
type of bridge representing waste.
while the Beaver avenue bridge is
shown as bridge which is practical.
Showing Dangerous Crossing.
Complaints of situations which per-
sons are making are being tabulated
and will be investigated by the COM
mission.
The dangerous railroad crossing is
being illustrated, for the reason that
the experts expect to carry on a cam
paign within the next year to get rid
Of these perils. Mr.. Macdonald asserts
that on Monday before coming to Des
Moines from Ames be opened the mail
and found reports Of eight fatal acct
dents on dangerous grade crossings in
the state on one day.

HOW TREES PROCURE FOOD
Belief Is That Sustenance Is Digested
in Advance of Its Con-
sumption.

Every gardener knows that tree
can be fed and made to grow with in
creased vigor. If proper nourishment
in the form of humus, nitrogen, phos-
phate, ETC., be placed about it's roots
the tree will absorb this food and
grow rapidly and strongly.
But how the tree feeds is somewhat
more difficult to explain. In all prob
ability the tree digests its food first
and consumes it afterward Certain
it is that the average tree has no
means of consuming food as a whole,
as members of the animal kingdom alb
sorb it. 1t is well known that the
larvae of certain insects digest their
food first and consume it afterward.
Observation would indicate that this
is exactly what the tree does. The
tiny rootlets act on the substances in
the earth, dissolving and breaking
them up so they can be absorbed
through the root pores. In order so
to be taken up the chemicals must be
in liquid form and devoid of all waste.
The end of each root is armed with
a horny substance with which it can
burrow through the hard soil in search
of food.

ONE OF NATURES WONDERS
Heart Development in the Child Has
Always interested Students of
Biology.

What the editor of the Medical Rec
ord regards as one of the wonders of
biology is the manner of the develop
ment of the heart of the child. He
writes as follows regarding an inves-
tigation by continental physician:
"One of the happiest adaptations of
nature is found in the functional Pc
culiarities of the infantile heart. From
the embryological viewpoint alone, the
evolution of this organ, from a simple
pulsating tube to a complicated four
chambered pump, is one of the won
ders of biology. An interesting phil
osophical inquiry into the special man.

one of her old laces has been torn by
accident or through the carelessness
of servant That lace has been the
joy of her life, the pride of all her
possessions. If Miss Hadley cannot
mend it, what is she to do? Miss Had
ley does mend it. 1t may take months,
sometimes it takes a year if the dam
age is particularly bad, but she can
mend anything that a needle is capa-
BILE of mending. 1t does not signify
if it is point applique, or rose point,
or BRUCE, or venetian, or carrickma-
cross, or burano; once she sees the
stitch and the design, the rest is mere
ly a matter of patience-a patience
most trying in some instances.
To assist her in her work, the lace
expert has had to train quite large
number Of women. Some of these are
going to take up the line of teaching
later on. The work they are now do
ing is delicate in the extreme; it is so
fine that they cannot work at 1t more
than two or three hours a day. On
makers the needleworker is employed
two or three years. The number Of
stitches they take is in the millions.
They make things as small as but
terfly and they make others things as
large as a great tablecloth that would
cover a board of the most generous
proportions. No painter ever gave
more attention to detail than do these
remarkable needleworkers in carrying
out the designs in these fabrics. They
have to know art and they have to
know history. They stitch out Egypt's
most famous queen just as easily as
they do the plainest Of mosaic work.
Rich Women Her Pupils.
Probably no woman in the world
has had more rich women for her pu-
pills than has this needleworker from
Canada. One of the first women she
taught when she came to New York
was Mrs William Aston. Her second
or third was Mrs Coils T. Hunting
ton. To give the whole list would be
like repeating the Blue Book.
Mrs. Huntington has come to be
one of the greatest collectors in Amer
lea. Her laces are of fabulous value.
She has given more earnest study to
the history of lace than any other of
the rich women that have shown ex-
pertness in needlework. She is al
most qualified to be lace expert ner-
self. If she lost all her money to-
morrow, she could earn a good living
from her knowledge of laces.
To Miss Hadleys mind no business
open to women today offers greater
opportunities than lace making. 1t is
broad in its scope. 1t takes in the
poor girl and the girl who is gently
bred. Its rewards are large to those
who master it. 1t practically is in its
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1914-12-18

Venetian lace making, but Venice
played only one part in the history Of
lace making The Belgians are IA
nous for their work. So are the
French. So are the Irish. So are
the Danes. People go to see Miss
Hadley's laces as they go to see old
friends, or as people go to the Metro
politan museum to feast upon its
treasures. To some persons old laces
have very strong personal appeal.
When Miss Hadley disposes of one of
her belongings that she has had for
long time, the regulars sigh, if they
do not actually mourn.
There probably is not another bust
ness in all New York just like that
of this lace maker from little Cana
dian town. She has the histories and
the romances of hundreds of families
in the goods she deals in. Many of
her laces are heirlooms. Some are
old-time lace shawls that have been
IN one family for two, three, four or
five generations. Some of them are
very old and very rare. Now it is
the fashion for us to use these as
wedding wells or as decorations for
wedding, dresses. The more of his
tory there is to one of these ex-
quisite bits of lace, the more valu-
able.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1914-12-18

TOR little ladies, from the baby girl to
the miss entering upon her teens,
and for the miss In her teens, fasci-
mating lines of headwear have been
turned out. Those specialists who
look after the needs of children, up to
the time when they enter the ranks
of young womanhood, have developed
this branch of millinery until America
may be conceded to lead in point OF
variety and to match in point of excel
lence the products of all other coun-
tries.
In the group of headwear for little
girls shown here a bonnet and two
hats are pictured. The bonnet, for a
little girl from three to FIVE or six
years old, is a quaint model, suggest
ing the fashions of bygone days for
grownups. 1t is of velvet, with silk
facing In the projecting brim at the
front. The bonnets of this type, with
soft, pulled crowns, are made of silk,
plush, velvet, corduroy, and sometimes
of coatings The facings are in white
or light-colored silks, and the ties OF
ribbon.
Ribbons are depended upon to form
the small bows or rosettes which con-
stitute the main trimming feature of
millinery for the baby girl. A ruche
is formed of it and sets next the hair
at the back of the brim. Little chif-
fon roses are set in the ruche at each
side. Small millinery flowers used in
:nis way, or placed in little nosegays
on many little caps and bonnets, testi-
fy to the perennial blossoming of tiny

| flowers in the headwear of babylon.
At the right Of the picture hat Of
plain velours, for the half-grown miss,
depends upon a plain band Of narrow
grosgrain ribbon and an odd gay
feather cockade for its decoration.
Special feather ornaments for the hats
of such youthful wearers are contriv-
ed to suit them remarkably well. A
hat of this kind is worn by girls of all
ages from six to seventeen.
One Of the beautiful kinnard hats,
which is of purely American origin,
has its place in the center of the pic
ture. 1t is made by crocheting che
mile or other material over fine wire
supports, and is a difficult piece OF
work, which is done by hand. But the
exquisite result warrants the labor
and has fastened upon this achieve
ment an expressive title as the aristo-
crat in millinery. 1t is trimmed in
many novel ways, made possible by
the method Of constructing the hat.
But in the model shown band of Dor.
dered ribbon and half wreath OF tiny
silk-covered apples complete a perfect
piece of millinery for the small lady
Of five. Hats of this kind are made to
measure, shaped and trimmed accord
ing to the age of the wearer.

IN order to get a clear idea of the
i different fashionable patterns In
face wells one must either see them
or see accurate reproductions of them.
1t is impossible to describe exactly
what few pictures of the best pat
terms make plain enough. Here is
group including some of the patterns
that are most popular just now:
Small hats and clustering weather
both invite the use of face wells. They
are indispensable for keeping the
hair in place about the face, and they
are vastly becoming. The faithful
ness with which enterprising manufac-
turers continue to produce new pat
terms and to improve and diversity
those that have proved most becoming
is tribute to women. 1t shows how
well they appreciate and take advan-
tage of the becomingness of the veil.

ises to be long lived, for wearing the

HE notes that the increased rate
of the heart beat in early life dimin-
ishes the burden of the heart in the
following manner: the amount Of
blood pumped at each impulse is cor
respondingly smaller, the aspirating
force of the right heart is increased,
and the rapidly developing heart mus
Gle is more effectively nourished. The
author attributes the relative immuni-
ty of very young children to infectious
diseases to the rapidity with which the
blood flows through the arteries, which
rapidity makes it difficult for micro
organisms to gain a foothold in the
blood stream"
