Automobiles and Heavy Auto Trucks
Make Road Problem Harder.
The astonishing results of a census
taken recently on a secondary thor
oughfare leading out Of London show
ed only 8 per cent Of horse drawn We
hicles. The exact count vas fifteen
vehicles. Of the latter class to 500 ,ye-
hicles propelled otherwise than by
horses. Herein lies an explanation Of
the failure Of. the public authorities
generally throughout the world to
maintain roads and streets in good
condition.
A similar example Of the extraordi-
nary change that has occurred in the
use Of roads III recent years is that Of
a furniture manufacturing concern in
Easton, Pa. which delivers on its own
trucks to New York city instead Of
using the already constructed steel
roads-namely. the railroads. This
concern uses the ordinary roads. "A
considerable tonnage Is thus trans
ferred from the steel roads specially
constructed to bear 1t to the country
road not constructed for any such
weight OF friction. 1t has thus come
to pass that the science Of engineer
ing, which was called upon to furnish
experts to railroad companies, is now
also called upon to furnish experts to
road building authorities.

suspender Gowns.

Suspenders Of various sorts are In
fashion. There are many skirts this
spring with suspenders to wear with
separate blouses. Some Of them are
made Of the wonderful new plaid tat
fetas. Sometimes the ~suspenders are
wide and worn quite ut the edge of
the shoulders. and sometimes they are
narrow. Sometimes they r fastened
to an odd little waistcoat beta belt
like the lower part Of a waistcoat, in
Guiding sometimes two diminutive
pockets we'll toward the front.
The plaid taffetas are expensive. and,
although it does not take much to make
a skirt with %suspenders, still the re-
quired amount of taffeta would cost
$11. or $12-the silk is about So a yard
in a width of which almost four yards
are needed. But there are cheaper
plaid silks than taffeta that can be
substituted for it. These suspender
skirts in silk Of plain color will also be
seen. They are very useful, for they
can be worn in warm weather with
thin blouses and without coats. at the
same time giving their carer a feel.

The Counties Take Advantage o.
State Aid.

The Counties Take Advantage Of
State Aid.
All the counties of Wisconsin are
taking advantage Of state aid for the
Improvement of their roads this year.
The increasing popularity of this plan
is described by John A. Hazelwood.
chairman Of the state highway com
mission, as follows:
wisconsin embarked upon a policy
Of county aid for highway improve
ment of the principal roads in the
counties Of the state by an enactment
Of the legislature in 1907, and under
the policy Of county aid twenty u
ties in the state accomplished a great
deal of good prior to 1912.
I'm 1911 the Wisconsin legislature
decided upon the policy of state aid in
addition to the county aid provided for
in 1907 and made an appropriation Of
$35O,OOO annually to carry the under
taking along. During the year 1912
sixty-five counties out Of seventy-one
asked and received county and state
aid. Last year sixty-eight out of the
seventy-one have received county and
state aid for highway betterment.
1.-THE legislature Of 1918, apparently
approaching the success and populari-
ty Of the state aid provision over that
Of the county aid policy, appropriated
$1,2OO,OOO annually to carry along the
good roads work. In 1911, by a mar
row margin Of one vote, the state ap-
preparation was made for the new poll
cy, while in 1913 every vote in both
houses Of the legislature, with the ex-
ception Of seven, was cast for the ST.
100000 appropriation.
"Since the legislature adjourned the
three counties not engaged in good
road work prior to this time have vot-
ed to come under the provisions Of the
state aid policy. Consequently in 1914
the entire state is carrying. on road i'm
provement under the state aid policy"

Children's garments are extremely
picturesque this spring. Kate Greena-
way effects are favored. Many other
quaint conceits that are just suited to
the kiddies are utilized by the design
ers who specialize on children's gar
ments. A coat that is comfortably
plain, yet has all the dash and daring
that mother or little daughter could
desire, is illustrated. 1t is made of
checked wool in dark blue and white
and trimmed with white flannel and
blue braid. The plain lines Of the de-
sign are especially fashionable, while
the high belt and the pockets offer
their share Of the chic and the practi-
cal. White buttoned boots and stock

citizen of the county. The creditor,
eailing after repeated efforts to collect
the amount due him. came to Mr.. Lin
coin and asked him to bring suit. Lin
coin explained the mans condition and
circumstances and advised his client
to let the matter rest. but the credi-
tors temper was up. and he insisted
on bringing suit. Again Lincoln urged
him to let. the matter drop, adding.
You can make nothing out Of him,
and It will cost you q COED deal more
than the debt to bring suit"
The creditor was still deteFmined to
have his way and threatened to seek
some other attorney who would be
more willing to take charge Of the
matter than Lncoln appeared to be.
Lincoln then said, "WelI, if you are de-
termined that suit shall be brought /
will bring It. but my charge WIN be
