NEEDS GOOD ROADS
Official Figures Show Them to
Be Great Saving.
IOWA BEGUN MOVE IN 1888
First Good Roads Meeting Known In
State Held at Iowa City In That
Year-More Enthusiasm
Should Be Aroused.

Des Moines.-In March, 1883, the
first good roads meeting ever held in
Iowa took place in Iowa City. accord,
ing to discovery made by officers OF
the Iowa Good Roads movement.
These officers are inclined to think
chat since that time not enough has
been done for good roads in Iowa.
1T is not only the Joy riding tourist
who is interested in good roads," they
say, "but the person most interested
is the farmer.
According to figures arrived at by
statistician Of the United States
government on a muddy earth road
such as Iowa experienced for a great
part Of last summer, the maximum
load for hauling is 500 pounds. On a
smooth dry earth road the maximum
load is from 1000 to 1900 pounds. On
gravel roads in poor condition the
maximum is around $500 pounds. On
macadam road the maximum load
runs from 1000 to 5000 pounds. while
on brick road 1t is around 5000 to
5000 pounds.
"The economic waste in the United
States from poor roads is startling.
The department of agriculture in 1906
found an average cost of 1927 cents
a ton mile for hauling farm prod
ucts, with the average haul of 9.4
miles. On good roads the cost approx
mates 10 cents a mile.
Thus it is to be seen that good
roads reduce the cost of hauling, in
crease land values, and improve social
conditions as the advantages gained
by good roads increase the population.
iowa has 100000 miles of roads,
of which $500 have been improved.
In the last year $11,So0.O0O was spent
upon Iowa roads, virtually all Cor
grading and bridges"

There is at the present time no dis
tinct or predominating mode of hair
dressing which IL not followed will
make one appear out of date. On the
contrary. the styles are varied enough
to allow milady to select one which is
best suited to her particular type.
For the youthful face the Bobby eff
feet is the most successful and at
tractive, giving the appearance of hav-
ing the hair bobbed while 1t is merely
pinned under. This is accomplished
by the arrangement of hair around
the ears. regardless of the finish at
the back or forehead, and may be
combined with either pompadour, side
part or center part.
The soft, slightly waved pompadour
is always worn by both young and
older women. Middle-aged women are
inclined to like pompadour and high
coiffure, while the younger woman usu-
ally favors the more girlish arrange
ment Of the back hair dressed low.
The back hair is dressed in coils,
two or three in number, according to
size. with careful attention to the con.
tour when finished. Short puffs and
curls are sometimes added.
A fact not to be overlooked is that
1t is well to consider the gown in

CAPTAIN BOY-ED, TURK

Since Capt. Karl Boy-Ed, naval
attache of the German embassy at
Washington until President Wilson
demanded his recall for improper ac-
tivities, became prominent in the pub
lie prints, many persons have COM
mented on his peculiarly un-Teutonic
name. The fact is he is of Turkish
descent, for his father was Karl Boy
Ed, a Turkish Wholesale merchant
who lived in Germany. His mother,
however, is a German and the most
popular woman novelist of that coun-
try.

officer and diplomat, but also a Ia

as a quiet and affable society man.

to an indiscretion in eating. The in

to parental conditions. His father,
Isaac Maxim, was big, robust, hardy
Huguenot. His mother used common
sense instead Of drugs for all family
ills ana he was early trained never to
touch tobacco and liquor.
During his rearing the family table
was supplied with substantial, pure
food, prepared in an appetizing but

sweets and CONNECTIONS, which are the
