EXPENSE OF BUILDING ROADS
Over $2oo, ,ooo, 900 Spent on Highways Up to January 1, 1s15-31,oo0
 Miles Constructed.

More than $2O0, 0,Ooo, 900 of state ap- populations have been expended to January 1, 1915, and an approximate total of 31,000 miles of surface high way constructed under state supervi- sion since the inauguration of the pol icy known as state aid," according to the Good Roads Year Book for 1915, issued by the American Highway as- sociation from it's Washington office. Only seven states, Florida, Georgia. Indiana. Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, have no form of state highway department what ever, although Georgia grants aid to the counties for road improvement by lending the services of the entire male state convict force.

 When the material for suit of this kind is bought it is good idea to buy an extra yard, so that when the time for altering or remodeling comes this wflr be available for changes in style and the replacing of cuffs, collar or sleeves.
 Worn with this comfortable street suit are equally comfortable and smart low shoes over which tan-colored spats appear. In summer weather these are left off The strictly tailored sailor hat with black crown and sand colored brim is trimmed with cabo- chon of barnyard straw set over flat loops of ribbon.

Always Unsound Policy.

The policy of gaining artificial ad- vantage over another country by tar if is unsound, no matter how scien- titlcally the tariff may be devised. It is not trading, but exploiting, and leaves a trail of suspicion and hate. The editor of the Wall Street Journal holds that one of the fundamental causes of the present war was Ger. many's desire to renew the scientific tariff that she had in operation against Russia and by which she can exploit Russian commerce. However sound his judgment, it is certain, as our own American revolution shows, that un. natural and artificial privileges in trade, giving one nation the right to exploit another. lead to bloodshed. In any event, we can hope when our tariff is again revised that it will be done on still higher plane of com. mercial and political morality.

ments will result North Carolina will probably establish an independent highway department in lieu of the work now done by the state geological survey relating to highways.
 New Jersey in 1891 was the pioneer state in providing state aid for public highways. Massachusetts and Con necticut adopted the policy shortly aft CT, but only during the last ten years has the state-aid policy been in eff feet on a considerable scale. About 5000 miles of state highways were completed in 1913 and about 5000 miles in 1914, so that the last two years have been responsible for more than one-third of the entire state highway mileage. The state highways in America now exceed by 5000 miles the national road system of France.
 To have state highway departments placed under non-partisan, efficient control; skilled supervision required in all construction work; a proper classification of highway to. insure in telligent distribution of improve ments; an adequate provision for maintenance of highways from the day of their completion-these are among the objects for which the American Highway association is wag- ing a vigorous campaign.

A street suit. cut on conservative lines, which manages to be up to the minute in it's style, deserves more than passing glance. The attrac- tive suit shown here accomplishes these things and compels attention be- cause Of It's excellence.

Although George w.

The truth of this has been proved by facts, figures. argument and observation Better times have passed the antici- patory stage and are here like spring and dandelion greens, and like them again they have permeated mise en scene, pervaded the minds of men and inspired the poets. including the regu. larly retained office poet of the New York Sun.

The steel trust passed its dividend at a time when the steel trade is be. coming more active than for year, be fore, when railroads are increasing or. ders, and when one competing steel company has seen it's stock double in price in less than a month because of it's wonderful earnings. So far as common. uninstructed mortals can see. there are just two possible ex. plantations of this curious coincidence

Although so great a variety of shapes has been designed for children, those that suggest the bonnet have Ontdistanced all others in point of popularity. But little variations in shape, and clever new ideas in trim ming. save these pretty and childish bits of headwear from becoming mo- notonous.
 Two of the best ideas in trimming are shown in the picture given here. In the bonnet at the left, the crown is sloping. higher at the front, and the brim curves up both at the back and front, suggesting the poke bonnet of blessed memory. It is trimmed with white ribbon having a picot edge in color and buds made of satin, with long stems trimmed in a wreath ef- feet about the hat A bow of the rib Oon is posed at the front and tucked flat to the crown.
 The shape at the right is a famil- tar mushroom" model of hemp braid pressed with ridges over the crown extending from front to back and from side to side. These are placed 1n the shape by way of variety and add nothing to Its attraction.
 Daisies, June roses and forget-me uots form a wreath for trimming, and behind each daisy length of ribbon in brown or some other dark color is folded and sewed to the hat, resting both on the crown and brim.

Grapes Are Chic.

As usual in the spring of the year. the fruit of the vine appeals to fash ion. Grapes are immensely chic, not only on spring millinery. but in the form of corsage ornaments on eve ming gowns. A lovely little dance frock of white tulle over silver green pussy willow silk has punches of pale, translucent grapes on the shoulders and at the girdle. Very smart, on the other hand. is spring turban of black milan trimmed with black and green grapes and black velvet leaves. With this hat is worn an entirely new veil of sheer black mesh appliqued with green and bronze velvet leaves. The pattern is so delicately applied, and so soft in color that the effect is very beautiful.

PARTY'S 0NE HOPE
Republicans Forced to Pray for
 Crop Failure.
Have Banked on National Disaster to Secure Return to Power Through Howl of Calamity and Re-
 turn to High Tariff.

Republican leaders have got them selves and their party in such a posi- tion that their only logical course is to pray for drought.
 After flirting with the question of national defense and yammering fu- tilely about Mexico. the g. o. p. cap tains finally pinned their faith to hard times, and settled down to the good old calamity howl. They notified the world that this country was on its way to the bow-wows, and that noth- ing less than the ancient tariff graft could bring it back. They intoned a regular devils litany of blessings on disaster. Factories were closing whoopee! Railroads were busted hooray! The steel trust was passing its dividends-three cheers and q tiger! If only bad times got bad enough and lasted long enough, the Penrose-Cannon-Smoot combination saw itself restored to power for an- other half-generation
 But, alas and alack! hard times refused to last. The banking system devised by Democratic administra- tion carried the nation through the
 worst crisis of the last half-century
 without sign of panic, and then came the turn. Foreign commerce, knocked out for space by the war, has re vived in splendid fashion Factories are opening, men are going back to
 work. exports are increasing. railroads are buying equipment, shipyards are working day and night, independent steel companies are making money. In circumstances like these, party
 which banked on national disaster to bring it back to power has just one hope left. The spring has been very dry. If the heavens withhold rain a few months longer, there may be a crop failure, which will make it some what easier to howl calamity, and call for high tariff as a means of regu- lating the weather. Wherefore, 1t be- hooves the faithful from Danville even unto Salt Lake City to pray for drought

ONE VICTIM MoURNS
Makes Mistake of Making Second Call at Home in Same Night and is Killed in skirmish
 With Police.

Kansas City, Mo.-That polite burglar, the late Charles E. Smith, sought to bring to his craft a degree Of gentility and consideration that would gain and retain the good will and esteem of his clientele. But Burglar Charles overestimated his standing in the home of James B. Welsh. 1734 Jefferson street, when he sought to make a return call at that home the same night that he had tried and failed to rob the vault at the Girls hotel near by.
 Seven bullets narrowly missed the fleeing Charles. As it was, the burglar escaped. only to be killed in a skir. mish with two policemen after rob. ping a house at 3210 Washington street.
 Details of Smiths two calls at the Welsh residence were revealed when police headquarters received a visit from MT. Welsh, a real estate man. He was accompanied by Mrs. Welsh.

 Mrs. Welsh had been awakened when the light of a dark lantern fell upon her face. A youthful, we'll modu. lated voice treasured her.
 The voice from the vicinity of the lantern explained that the visitor was "just burglar making an honest liv ing"
 Mrs. Welsh, who is corresponding secretary of the Y. w. C.. A., was much interested in the young mans attitude. She asked him if he thought 1t right to go into other peoples houses? Didn't he know that he would be imprisoned. if not killed?
 "I just take the chance" said Burglar Charles. Life is gamble. Everywhere you hear that. I'm just a chap out of work. Of course am sorry to disturb folks"
 Mrs. Welsh sat up in bed. The burglar took a chair. A long conver. sation under these unusual circum. stances followed. During the conver. sation Mrs. Welsh told the burglar

How much better to drag the roads in early spring than to let the roads themselves become drag" next sum- mer, when heavy teams loaded with produce must be hauled to market.
 Probably three-fourths of the dirt road difficulties experienced during the season could be eliminated by a little industry right now.
 The pleasure later on of hauling over roads free from ruts and gigan- tic mud puddles after the summer shower, will make up for any extra work this spring.

Idea Has Been Done Away With.

In the minds of men like Nelson w, Aldrich there is only one interest to be consulted in tariff legislation, that of the manufacturer and employer. The consumer is given no considera. tion, for it is assumed that if the em- ployer prospers the employee and the consumer will share in the general welfare supposed to be thus promoted. This is a theory of legislation which does not now find general favor, ex. cept among such benighted persons as the members of manufacturers' asso. citations.

Roadbed Above Water.

Where there is standing water the roadbed should be kept at least foot above the water surface and IS inches is better. The nature of the soil and the length of time that the water stands along the road will to a degree determine how high the roadbed must be above the water.

MIGRATORY BIRD
Law effective

Many of the press comments on
the decision of the United States dis
trict court, rendered March goth, at
Topeka, Kans., holding that the fed
eral migratory bird law is unconstitu-
tional, in the opinion of the depart
ment, are erroneous and are apt to
mislead the public concerning the
real situation in this matter.
The Kansas decision, like a former
decision to the same effect in the
eastern district of Arkansas, is linn
tied in its operation solely to the
district in which it was rendered.
Neither decision settles or nullifies
the law, and the exact contrary has
been held by the United States dis
trict court for South Dakota. The
Arkansas case has been appealed to,
and Is now pending in the United
States supreme court. The act Of
congress protecting the migratory
birds stands effective until the SUI
| preme court finally decides the ques.
ton of its constitutionality In the
meantime, it is incumbent on every
law-abiding citizen to observe its pro
visions and the regulations. 1t is the
duty of the department to enforce
this law, and the officials in charge
will endeavor to do so as long as it is
in force. Reports of violations viii
be carefully investigated, and whe,
sufficient evidence is secured the,
will be reported for prosecution. 1,
this connection it should not be for
gotten that an offender against this
as in the case of other United State,
laws, is subject to prosecution an,
time within three years from the dat,
the offense is committed.
