the newspapers yesterday and is very
much worth reading
1t is due TO Senator Allen to remark
in passing that the proposition did not
originate with him but was the result
of suggestion by the embarrassed
friends of both men who saw them
selves forced to choose between two
good men either Of whom they would
support freely and with confidence.
The Cosson statement settles the
matter. There will be no such con-
ference as was suggested for the pur-
pose for which it was suggested. If
either candidate withdraws from the
race it will be his own funeral and not
an execution.
Il now becomes a matter of selec-
ton. Both men can no, be nominated.
One of them should be chosen. They,
among all the candidates. best repre-
sent Iowa and give most promise of
faithful executiveship. It is to be ex-
pected that from nov on the support
of each will begin to take definite
alignment, newspaper support fall to
one or the other and the voters be-
gin to take their places in the ranks
behind one and the other.

, month or two. This tra4fic on the bare
concrete wears away any Clay or any
other thin coating that may remain on
the surface.
Before the asphaltic oil or the btu
minous top dressing is laid the con-
crete base is thoroughly cleaned with
| street brooms. The oil surface will
not bind to the base unless the con-
crete be absolutely free from dirt and
dry. The crushed rock screenings
used must pass thru a circular screen
opening one-half inch in diameter. and
all fine dust must be removed. Coarse
sand will give equal satisfaction.
1t is imperative that the oil used In
this top coat be such that it can easily
be sprayed on the road. and such as
to readily allow penetration of the
stone screenings. Should the oil be
hard 1t will mot absorb the screenings,
| and makes a poor surface. This road
oil must he of sufficient sickness to
bind tightly to the concrete and ce-
ment together each small stone in the
aggregate. These physical properties
are determined in the laboratory by
physical tests which the oil must meet.
After the screenings have been well
incorporated into the Oil the excess is
swept into plies alongside the roads.
The road is then treated to a second
application of oil. One-quarter Of g.
gallan per square yard, is used. This
| Is again covered with screenings. In
the second coat a small percentage Of
dust and finer material can be used
with the screenings.
This makes complete highway
ready for traffic. 1t can be lightly
rolled first If desired, but this is not
necessary. If there is any tendency to
bleed some further screenings may be
placed on the oiled surface
The trunk line from Sacramento to
San Francisco now runs south to
Stockton for fifty eight miles, and
from thence westward to Oakland,
distance of eighty miles.
Half the revenue derived from the
automobile license tax in California
goes to the state to be, used for the
maintenance Of state highways. and
half goes to the county to be used for
the maintenance Of the county roads.
There is much public sentiment in
California in favor of taxing the mu-
inequalities of the state to greater
extent and placing the burden % rails

In this connection I want to say
that the great American desert is a
misnomer in the sense that is usually
associated with the word desert There

Correcting Hair Faults
And Other Aids to Beauty

Dandruff. itchy scalp, thin scraggly
and falling hair are easily overcome, II
one will give the hair the proper at
tention and the proper means are en-
ployed. The first step in correcting
hair faults is TO have q perfectly clean
scalp. free from all grease. dirt and
of good tonic every night for few
weeks vii! produce results that viii be
astonishing. To free the scalp OF ex-
cess oil. dandruff and dirt, there is
nothing that equals q teaspoonful OF
eggol dissolved in cup OF hot water
and used as a shampoo wash. This
should be used every two weeks.
No better hair tonic can be made
than the simple mixture of half q pint
of alcohol, half pint water and one
ounce of beta quinol; this should be
massaged into the scalp nightly. A
few weeks Of this treatment and all hair
troubles should vanish.
Blackheads should never be pinched
out: this only makes large pores and
does not get rid Of the blackheads. The
only safe and sure way is to dissolve
them. Just get about two ounces Of
powdered neroxin from your druggist,
sprinkle little on hot. wet sponge
or cloth: rub briskly over the black
heads and in few minutes you will
find that the blackheads have been dis
solved away entirely and the skin left
without any mark whatever.
Women who have rough. red hands
and arms will be surprised to see how
exquisite the skin will become after Z

by dissolving one ounce Of zintone in

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

Vacation days mean an increase in
the laundry bill if there are small boys
, and girls in the family, for strenuous
soldier games and a fourishing mud
pie business reduce clean linen suits
and frocks to rather despairing state
of limpness and soil in the shortest
imagina BILE time.
There must be goodly supply OF
dresses for the energetic girl of eight
or nine. The tailored variety are usu-
ally most practicable, but she herself
will express feminine desire for or
namentation, which can be conceded in
a measure Her frocks must never be
fancy" but can show simple trim
mings appropriate for her age.
Here Is good example carried out
in plain and striped linen. The striped
material is used only for the elbow
sleeves and lower part of the skirt. and
it can be in any desired color on q
white ground. The rest of the dress
is of plain white linen and should
match in weave the striped.
The blouse is very simple and
straight, with it's neck cut out with
small front and finished with round
turned back collar. The striped sleeves
are straight and show turned-back
cuffs of plain linen, buttoned up the

or two below normal, and the joining

but leaving it exposed between the
front opening and also just at the
center back, where a narrower open
space allows room for the sash to tie
The plain top of the skirt is gather
ed and, in turn, the striped f1ounce is
very slightly gathered to it at the hip
line, under corded seam. The front
of the skirt is left open to correspond
with the upturned bibs, then drawn to-
gether at the hem, forming a deep V,
outlined on one side with buttons and
on the other with buttonholes. A. gath
cred inset of plain linen fills the open
space.
If you study this design you will
readily perceive that it is not hard to
make, for the only added features are
the bibs and the slash at the front of
the skirt

Guard Against Moths.

The harvest time of the moth Is ap-
preaching. Many women are SO stu
ated that 1t is not convenient to send to
cold storage their furs and other valu-
able belongings beloved of these house
hold pests. Furthermore, some things
cannot be protected in this way. Up
holstered furniture is an example
Moths love to get into the tufts and lay
their eggs there; and. as furniture is
usually protected by slip covers during
the summer months. it is very neces-
sary to see that no eggs are present
before putting on the covers. Other
wise a most unpleasant surprise will
confront the housekeeper when she re-
moves the covers. Moths multiply in
the dark at marvellous rate.
The best thing to do with furniture
is to beat it thoroughly, and then sat
urate it with benzine or gasoline (keep-
ing away from fire and lighted gas)
before putting on the slips. The slips
may be removed occasionally to inspect
conditions beneath
Most women pack away rugs in
wrappers of some kind An authority
on rugs tells me that while they may
be rolled up, the ends should be left
open. The proper thing to do is to
beat the rugs thoroughly out of doors,
sprinkle them literally with tar cam
phor. roll them up, tie them, and place
them in a light, cool spot
Wooden clothing must be closely ex-
amined before putting away, and all
spots removed: otherwise moths will
take up their abode there, and not a
spot will be left when the garment is
taken out again.

kill any eggs that may come to life-if
eggs were in the furs when packed

the chloroform evaporated before the
eggs came to life; therefore the pest

of the furs. I mention this incident

Cleaning Straw Hats.

There are several ways of cleaning
straw hats. One way is to scrub them
with an old nailhrush dipped in one
cup of warm water and one table
spoonful of oxalic acid: another way
Is to use sulphurous acid. which is
safer than fumes of sulphur. and if
the hat is panama, scrubbng it quick
ly. small portions at time (and wip-
ing the soiled solution as it forms)
with a half -and-half mixture of perox-
ide Of hydrogen and water, is most eff
fective. Do not have the brush too
wet and go quickly from one portion
to the next.

still more severely restrained with a
fitted shoulder cape. Did some one rear
| the effect of too many frills upon our
mental attitude? Were we in danger of
relocating the solid things of life for
mere trivialities?
Perhaps there IS great designer
somewhere always on the watch. a be-
lever in the effect of the outward gar
ments upon the inner woman. who Is
alert to modify the modes at the first
sign of deleterious effect. If he sees
that tight skirts are making US narrow
minded. or frills making us frivolous.
he sets about a sartorial revolution at
once to correct these tendencies. Per-
haps 1t is his influence which has ban
ished militarism from our clothes all
of a sudden when the world is being
shown so poignantly the disastrous eff
fects of too much of 1T.
One question, at any rate. seems to
be nearing solution, and that is the
vexed one Of the position of the waist
line. The sketch shows a very marked
line. which, after oscillating up and
down and down and up, seems to he
settling definitely into what we call its
normal position. Women have shown
good deal of independence in this
matter, or else designers have exhibit
than usual about this point. for it
has never happened before, I think,
that all three waist lines have been
seen at once. Such anomalies are apt
to be more frequent if they are really
owing to our increasing independence.
It is quite true that nowadays if
woman finds herself better looking in
a certain mode she is very likely to
refuse to relinquish it for another
which does not become her so well.
Types Are Studied.
This is the outcome of the study of
individual types. the better understand
sonal style. which is sure to make for
more Independent and better dressing.
Individual taste has more scope than
formerly, and individual women have
more to say in molding fashions. 1t has
always been maintained of French
women that they personally have de-
cided the modes. The biannual open
ing launched the new ideas and then
the taste of the well dressed women
of the French capital adapted and
modified them into the accepted forms.
The really discreet shoppers waited
until this settling down had taken
place before buying for their needs.
This year the situation may be
changed. The Frenchwomen who have
been depended upon for this selection
and arrangement of the new ideas are
frankly interested in something else
