GOOD
ROADS
AGITATION FOR GOOD ROADS
less Being Said About Betterment Of
Public Highways Than Two or
Three Years Previously.

What has become OF the widespread
good-roads agitation OF two and three
years ago3 Is 1t dying down and Civ
ing way to something else? Have
our roads been improved to such an
extent that we can let up on the cam
paign that swept back and forth
across the country OF are we simply
getting tired Of 1t and somewhat In
different about It?
less Is being said about the necessity
for lettering our roads than was said
two and three and four years back.
writes 8. G. varnum in Farm Prog
ress. must confess that In three
states I have visited within the last
six months l have seen nothing
to convince me that we are even APP
preaching the good roads millennium.
believe there is more work being
done in some communities than was
done a few years back, but in others
there is little or no change. In some
neighborhoods / am sure there has
been a let-up in the work since the
crusade started to die down.
II all turns back upon the propo-
sition that what Is everybodys bust
ness is nobody's business. We all
have a spasm of the good roads fever
and pitch in and help out for awhile
and theA our attention is gradually
taken up by something else. We be-
gin to neglect our part of dragging
the roads and cease to donate work
or money to the upkeep of the high
ways We leave 1t to the road bosses
or overseers and they'are busy men,
busy looking after their own private
affairs, and the whole movement slows
up.
Before we have anything approach
ing really good roads all over the
country the machinery for looking
after the roads will have to be Gre
ated A county highway engineer is
needed, but we need something more.
One man cannot look after all the
highways, brick, stone, concrete,
macadam and dirt, of any fair-sized
county. We can't keep up our roads
without an organization to keep after
them all the time Nor can we build
them without putting more money
into them and then following this up
with more money. Those of us who
believe the Federal government ought
to build all our highways will wait a
long and weary time II they wait till
the government puts in the permanent
roadways.
We are making a great mistake IL
we permit the good roads movement
to die. Rural credit is an important
thing. better schools and better

LANGSHAN VERY HARDY FOWL
Uniformity In Size Make Them DesIr-
able for Home Flock-AIso a
Wonderful Layer.
fRv PAIL. V IvEs1

The Langshan is probably the Oldest
variety Of standard fowl. 1t has been
bred for many hundreds OF years In
the Langshan hill district of China.
from which place the breed derives It's
name.
The Langshan has been bred for so
long time that the type is fixed and
practically all birds bred from a mat
ing come very true to the ancient type.
They are so uniform that the casual
observer will have difficulty in seeing
any difference in them, and this fea-
ture makes them very desirable for a
home flock on a gentleman's estate.
They give tone and distinction to a
place that no other breed will.
The Langshan is a wonderful winter
layer Of the largest Of winter eggs, and
as table fowl, too. is unsurpassed. The
carcass is fine boned and white
skinned, with an abundance OF breast
meat and very little offal for the size
OF the carcass. The finest of capons

BLOUSES MATCH BEIGE SUITS
Garments That Will Readily Be Seen
to Have Many Points of
Advantage.

To match the beige colored suits are
offered pongee silk blouses built on
tailored lines with high, turnover col
lar and rolling cuffs. The fronts Of
such blouses are usually box-plaited
and fastened with ivory buttons in ball
shape. The excellent point about these
models, aside from their matching
quality, Is that they launder very cas-
fly.
To add variety to the line, there are
pongee waists trimmed with dyed
laces; and still others that are hand
embroidered in floss the color of the
blouse material. Like many other
waists Of the period, certain of the
models have the convertible collar,
acceptable for either cool weather or
warm weather wear.
The frilled blouse is back again. It
is made of cotton wolfe, of georgette
crepe or of striped filet marquisette.
It's salient feature is the one-side
Jabot, which is usually edged with
lace. When there is a yoke it Is apt
to show scalloped edge, sometimes
piped with a contrasting color.
A lot of gold and soutache braid
Ing is being tried out on blouses that
start out to be plain and then seem
to undergo change and finish by be-
ing a semidress model 1t is known
that Paris is quite mad on the sub
ject of braid trimmings; and this, of
course, means an adoption of the same
on this side of the Atlantic. Ameri-
can women have never been very par
tial to glittering ornamentation, partic-
ularly in connection with daytime at
tire. 1t may be, however, that the
lure of gold as presented by French
artists will prove more tempting this
season than in times gone by
Both shadow and heavy laces enter
into the composition of recent blouses
There is nothing startlingly new about
this, since laces of these types have
been used off and on for many sea-
sons.

New Towels.

Some Of the newest Turkish towels
have an initial quite four or five
inches long, worked in French knots
at the left Of the towel above the
border, instead of in the center, as is
usually done. For a mans use tow.
els worked with these large letters are
very good looking.
Among the newest designs for small
guest towels is one of fine damask of
very small pattern without a woven
border. The latter Is hemstitched on
and consists Of an inch-wide hem Of
colored linen, pink Of blue.
The initial may be embroidered In
white on the hem or worked on the
towel itself In q color to correspond
with the hem.

circular skirt The jacket is three
quarter length pointed on the sides.
A fawn-colored suede belt and a slight
ly standing collar complete the suit.
The tam O. shanter hat is of white cor
duroy velvet with two tassels on the
side. The shoes are laced on the side
and a little rosette at the top of the
lacing sets off the white kid tops.
