When the suit is for everyday usage
and to serve the most informal puT-
poses then the wash blouse Of white
muslin with a collar that stands up,
no matter how, is the appropriate ad-
dition; much more so than the orna-
mental waist of chiffon or silk or sat

also have a fanciful affair on hand in
case of a luncheon or tea to which
one wears this coat and skirt.
If one wants to simulate a frock by
adding a self-toned blouse to skirt

to consider the claims of that new
style of cloth jumper that is slipped
over a soft silk lining with long

This blouse is easily accomplished
by utilizing a piece of the skirt ma

This movement may be in keeping

HIGH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
Cost of Hauling Farm Products Over
Common Roads Is Twenty-Five
Cents Ton Per Mile.

After careful inquiry it has been
found that the average haul of the
American farmer in getting his prod
uct to market or to the nearest ship
ping station is IL miles, and the aver
age cost of hauling over the common
country roads is 25 cents a ton per
mile, or three dollars ton for 12-
mile haul, says Portland Oregonian.
An estimate places the total tons
hauled at 300,O0O,000 a year. On the
estimate of three dollars a ton for -
miles this would make the total cost
of getting the surplus products of the
farm to the local market or to the
railroad no less than 100000, 000-a
figure greater than the operating ex-
penses of all the railroads of the Unit
ed States. If anything could make an
argument for good wagon roads this
statement surely may.

school and in the university, he had
some one to read to him. Highly
educated young men puzzled over
problems for hours, but the blind boy
who only had the lessons read to him
worked out in his mind every answer
in comparatively little time. When
he took the law course one Of his
friends studied with him, reading up
authorities, quoting, discussing, go
ing through all the timeworn prac-
tees of law students.
Rapid Success in Law.
Brown was a mighty good student.
They say at Harvard that they have
had few better. When he was gradu
ated, he was admitted to the bar, and
quickly demonstrated that he had
more than an academic knowledge of
jurisprudence. After a few years he
came 10 New York, and then United
States district attorney, Henry A.
Wise, appointed him one of his as
sistants
No man who has ever held this Of
fee in New York has had so many big
and important cases in his admins
tration as did Mr.. Wise. There were
many cases of internal revenue frauds,
and there also were lots of mining
frauds, land frauds, publication frauds,
all sorts of frauds that came within
the jurisdiction of the district attor-
ney, because the swindlers used the
United States mails to exploit their
plans.
1t fell to Brown to prosecute many of
these swindlers and the record he
made has established his reputation
as one of the great prosecutors of
america. It's not in getting convic-
lions that his case is worthy of par
ticular note, but in the remarkable
way in which he prepared himself to
perform his duty and the wonderful
example he has given to the world of
what a sightless man can accomplish.
The Case of Wisner.
One of the cases he prosecuted was
that of Wisner, man accused of land
frauds in California. Most of the
lands were in the mining district and
mining cut large figure in the litera-
ture that Wisner put out. To fit him.

have not known that ne was blind.
He carries himself as if he were see
| ing everything. He retains in his
mind the position of persons, of books,
of papers. There is no cropping, no
hesitancy. He has the same conf
dence that q sighted man has. Once
he hears a voice, he knows the per-
son. In court first one lawyer, then
another then another, will pop into
a dispute. The blind lawyer, all ami
nation, will turn from one to the
other and be as easy in poise and as
sure Of his people as if he had
known them all his life.
AS q lawyer, Raymond Brown has
done a great public work, but as a
blind man, who has shown a way to
the blind he has done a greater one.
There are scores of blind men who
practice at the bar but nearly all OF
them became blind after they had
been lawyers for some years. So far
as is known Brown is the only blind
man in the United States, except Sen
ator Gore, who was blind when he
studied law.
Brown is no longer in the employ
of the government. When Mr. Wise
went out of Office thesblind man went
with him Now Mr.. Brown is of the
legal staff of the American Tobacco
company.
Over in the grim old New York post
Office, where the United States dis
trict attorney has his Office, the at
taches love to tell stories Of the young
blind lawyer. Some of these tales are
almost unbelievable. One is to the
effect that for three or four solid
months, when engaged in the prepar-
alton Of a case, he put in from eigh-
teen to twenty hours a day and never
showed evidence of fatigue or irrita-
ton. Another is that he could tell
the moment he went into a room the
exact number of persons who were
present and exactly where they were
standing or sitting. 1t didn't matter
whether it was a single office or
large room or whether it contained
two persons or twenty.

lawyer studied mining He had every
thing that was valuable regarding the
subject read to him. Then he went
overy every paper and every book
that had been seized in Wisner's Of
flee. For eleven months he studied
this case Expert accountants were
with him day and night at one time.
They discovered that he was great
er accountant than they were. If they
made the slightest error in giving to
him orally a transcript of what was
in the books, or if they made the
slightest error when he was question
ing them month, or two months, or
six months later, he was sure to call
their attention to it instantaneously
and have the matter cleared up be-
fore proceeding farther. One of the
accountants said it was uncanny how
this lawyer seemed to carry a million
figures and a thousand accounts in
his mind and know exactly what was
right and wrong in every instance.
When it came to the trial of the
case lle lIIlhllIS lHClI WIZ IOHtlAiSA
were startled to discover that this
blind lawyer knew more about mining
than they did. Witnesses who endeav-
Ored to explain discrepancies in the
books discovered he knew more about
bookkeeping, queer and otherwise,
than they had any conception Of and
the shrewd old lawyers for the de-
tense were not long in discovering
that the young man probably knew
more law than any of them. That
case was fought with exceeding bitter
ness on the part of the defense, The
trial lasted two months. Brown never
lost his temper. never lost command
of the situation and never blundered
in regard to a fact or a figure.
Prosecuted Monroe & Monroe.
He prosecuted the firm of Monroe &
Monroe, the Wall street gentlemen
who did a large business in selling
wireless stock and whose establish
ment got to be known as the 'laun
dry" because the two brothers, before
coming to New York to do some fren-
zied financing, were haberdashers in

the country were keeping themselves
poor by reason of this excessive cost OF
marketing their products. These prod
ucts could be hauled only at seasons
when everybody had to haul. This
resulted in temporarily overworked
railway service, congested markets,
and low prices.
The older and Weather states saw
the point first, and began giving aid
to counties and towns in building i'm
proved roads, so that produce could be
marketed at any time in the year. The
result was almost electrical in its eff
feet. Thousands of farms which, be-
cause of their relative appropriateness
under a bad road system, had been
practically abandoned, became pro-
ductive again. The general values of
farm property were enormously en-
HANGED. This was accomplished by
the building of few town and county
roads purely for local purposes.
Then the automobile became factor
in the road question, and the road
problem became widened and en-
larged. With vehicles, which would
cover 100 or 200 miles a day, the con-
ditions in each county rapidly became
known to the people in adjoining
counties, and a broader comprehen-
sion of the whole highway question
was inevitable in a country where
intelligence predominates.

Has the one-piece frock laid success

not answered completely in the affirm

aIlin-all garment so popular this sea

However, new waists are here, and

their design is the tailored look of
most of them. Following in the wake
of that pied piper, the high collar of

OF course we are not yet in posses
sion of boned "chOkers." Nevertheless,
the blouse Of today is distinctly

piled by a new model of crepe meteor
buttoned sternly down the front. Per-
haps one should say up to the front,
for those buttons never end till they

This is, in fact, the favored collar of

of course, the collar is not severely

Montreal. This Monroe case vas a
hard One-almost as hard as the Wis
ner case. The blind man never per
mitted the real issue to be obseured-
There had been fraud. People had
been swindled. He always went sim
ply and directly to the point and al
ways checked every effort of his Or
ponents to escape the issue. In this
case he gave another wonderful proof
of his memory. There were two or
three hundred letters with direct
bearing on the case. Twenty or more
witnesses had to testify as to these
letters. AS each witness was on the
stand the letters that concerned him
were brought into play, sometimes
only once, sometimes three, four or a
dozen times He was questioned and
cross questioned. If he made the
slightest error in regard to any one
of these letters Brown would stop
him and have the letter produced as
proof. He knew more about those let
ters than the men who wrote them or
to whom they were written.
This blind man is a wonderful read
er of character. He seems to read the
soul through the mans voice, just as
some men read the soul of a man
through the mans eyes. Few lawyers
are more successful with witnesses
than is this one He never browbeats,
ridicules or insults. Calmly, patiently,
but insistently, he keeps at a witness
if the witness is not telling the truth
until he gets that witness to state the
facts correctly. He is a gentleman all
the time.
He convicted the Monroes. Few
persons expected such a result, but
Mr.. Brown never doubted. He pre-
pared the case against the Columbian
Sterling crowd, but did not try it.
Nearly every internal revenue case in
the New York district was prosecuted
by him and invariably he obtained a
conviction, either by the defendant
pleading guilty or by the jury's find
ings.
Seems to See Everything.
One strange thing in connection
with Mr. Brown is that lot of per
sons who have seen him conducting
case in court and even jurors who
have tried cases he has conducted

important Duty of People.

The making of good roads is one oe
the most important duties of the peo-
pie and their prompt repair and care
full maintenance is essential. There
is probably no subject in which the
progressive farmer is more deeply in
terested than that of having roads
connecting him with his markets over
which he may be able to haul the
greatest possible load Good roads,
like all other good things, are too ex-
pensive to build and OF too much value
to be neglected.

HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENT
ROAD MOVEMENT is GROWING
Question of Public Highways Now In
wolves Nation as Whole-Vaiues
of Farm Property Enhanced.

Many Of the southern and western
states have made remarkable progress
within the past two or three years III
the enactment of laws which provide
for the extension of their highway
systems, and for the construction ana
care of improved roads. The new con-
ditions arising from the development
of automobile traffic have enlarged the
question of public highways from one
of purely local consideration to an
economic principle involving not only
the entire commonwealth, but the ma
ton as a whole.
When the traffic consisted of wagons
drawn by oxen, or mules, or horses,
open roads to the nearest railroad
station or boat landing were all that
was required. The fact that even such
roads were not well built, nor kept in
repair, was due to variety of causes,
writes Robert P. Hooper, in Farm
Home. Each particular locality had
an explanation, purely local, to account
for the conditions. But, as a rule,
these explanations did not explain,
even to the satisfaction of those max
ing them.
The fact still remained that nearly,
or quite, 80 per cent of the farmers OF

these, by the way, are rather tight
and conform to the rest of the garment
in plain turn-back cuffs. One of the
most charming versions of the tailored
waist to make its appearance is that
with a plated bosom. Perhaps this
plated effect is at its best in white,
but there are in navy and brown crepe
de chine examples evident of the fact
that you are not limited to the regu.
lation shirt material.
