GOOD USE FOR THE EYELET
May Be Employed Effectively in Many
Ways-Exampie In Recent
Centerpiece.

The eyelet IS quite as accommodate
ing as the French knot, and can be
used effectively for so many different
designs, varying in size from a mere
transparent point to the size Of the
natural grape, although the necessity
for the latter size is rare.
An up-to-the-minute art needlework
shop recently showed an effective CEN
terpiece of blachberries and their foli-
age. The blackberries instead of being
done in the usual French knot stitch,
we're formed of eyelets. the tiniest
kind. The eyelets changed the center
piece from a rather commonplace de-
sign to one of distinct individuality.
and the sales person back of the coun-
ter said the store couldn't keep enough
Of the designs in stock. 1t is sdpe-
times necessary for the blackberries to
have their dots spread farther apart
for the eyelets than for the knots. al.
though it must be remembered that
the eyelets are of the tiniest and that
fine thread and a fine needle are used
In the working of them.
The California pepper design is also
displayed to best advantage when
worked in eyelets instead OF solid
stitch.
A centerpiece with grape border is
ten times as effective in eyelet work
for the grapes rs when the grapes are
worked In solid stitch or outline
Huckleberries and mulberries should
also be worked in eyelets Remember
that IL the eyelet edges are worked toe
heavily the artistic effect desired in
such designs Is lost. Flower centers

reference to the usage, tolls and man. agement of the highway. The gov ernment and the company agreed that safety first" should be the ruling principle in the construction and op- eration of the highway, and those who have made the trip over the first twelve miles marvel at the easy grades, the wide roadway and the un- usual precautions which have been taken to insure maximum enjoyment of the wonderful scenery and to give even the timid a feeling of absolute security as the motor car climbs steadily upwards.
 It is 27 miles from Colorado Springs to the top of Pike's Peak by the new road. The actual highway is IT miles in length from the point where it runs into the Pike's Peak ocean-too ocean highway in Ute pass, at an elevation of 7,415 feet, so that it's total rise is 6,746 feet. The average grade is six degrees with 8 maximum of ten de- grees, and there are only two places where the grade does not rise.
 Safety and Convenience.
 The road bed is 20 feet wide and this is increased to 26 feet on curves, making it possible to be double tracked all the way, with frequent turnout or stopping places provided in case of tire or engine trouble. The bridges, with concrete parapets, are located on tangents. so they may be seen at distance of 300 feet. They are built of steel and concrete. Signs conveying cautions have been erected along the route. Six water stations have been established at intervals of three miles for cooling and refilling purposes, and gasoline stations are To- cated at the roads terminals.

 A campaign to push the growing of more and better live stock as a solu- tion of Arkansas big problem of soil depletion will be started November 29 by the extension department of the University of Arkansas and the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture, under the direction of the Cotton Belt railroad.
 The first half of the campaign will touch the counties southwest from Pine Bluff. The second half will start January II, probably at Stutt- gart and take the counties to the northeast. W. R.

Another car will contain exhibits showing modern appliances for but ter making, graphic charts of feeding rations for cattle, hogs, dairy cows and poultry, and exhibits of stock feeds that can be grown in Arkansas. MT. Cole, agricultural agent for the Cotton Belt, will collect the exhibit, which probably will be the most com pete car exhibit of the kind ever seen in Arkansas.

and construction gangs are pushing rapidly the grade of this road through powder fields way above timber line to the summit. On the first day of September there was opened to travel the first twelve miles of the highway which connects with the Pikes Peak Ocean-to-Ocean Highway in Ute pass at Cascade, ten miles west of Colorado Springs and five miles west of Man itou.
 Built by Private Capital.
 Before congress closed it's sixty third session, it granted the right-of- way for an automobile road that would traverse the Pike national forest and wind it's way up the northern slopes to the top of the peak. When the government granted this right-of-way through a national forest for toll road, it did an unprecedented thing. But there were good and sufficient

ices are installed, insuring communi- cation along the entire trip.
 The highway will be open to any motor car, and automobile men claim that any good driver will be able to make the trip.
 Undoubtedly the Pike's Peak high way takes it's place as the greatest and highest in the world Stelvio pass, the highest carriage road in Flu rope, in the Alps between Italy and Austria, has never been opened to the automobile.
 While there were many difficulties the construction of this highway was not hard task for the modern engi. neer. For part of the way from Gas. cade it follows the general line of the old carriage road built in 1888.
 Scenery Is UnexceIled.
 Every mile of the highway to the summit is crowded with scenic inter- est. From Colorado Springs the route goes through beautiful Manitou and then into Ute pass, a 30-mile cleft in the mountain down which the Ute Indians used to come to Manitou to drink of the mineral waters there.
 Amid profusion of wild flowers, through groves of pines and aspens, the highway proceeds. Often, as the motor climbs, it will be enveloped in fieecy cloud. Higher and higher the car climbs, but the grade is so easy that one does not realize that he is at the summit until he can see the world about him, east, west, north and south. Sixty thousand square miles of seen ery-wild, massive, e-inspiring-can be viewed from the seat of the motor car. There below is Colorado Springs, it's broad avenues and boulevards gleaming in the sun. Far out into eastern Colorado are the farms, little green patches upon the drab prairie. Back in the chasms west of the peak are grotesque formations, and on the western horizon are the snow-capped Sangre de Christo and the giant peaks of the great continental divide At the summit one can snowfall in Au- gust as well as in December Pike's Peak just scrapes the snow out of the frosty clouds as they pass by.
 In the Pike's Peak region the motor ist will find variety of trips so great that he can suit any days mood
