ROAD CONGRESS WILL
 DISCUSS QUESTIONS

New York, September 7.-President Wilson, before his election, gave ut terance to his views on highway i'm provement as follows:-
 "A nation is bound together by it's means of communication. It's means of intercommunication are the means of its sympathy; they are the means by which the various parts of it keep Tn touch with one another"
 This sentiment, intended in it's ap- plication for the United States alone has equal or greater force when ap- piled to All America, because all A merican countries have the same pro- blems before them. The civilizing and wealth producing results of inn proved highways have been amply established. The methods of finance and construction and maintenance and administration are all questions open to discussion, and the fact that al- most every locality offers a seperate and distinct set of conditions, causes these problems to attract the atten- tion of the abest minds in the country.
 The Pan-American Road Congress, which will assemble at Oakland. Cal ifornia, September 13-17, will take up all these subjects in detail, and dis cuss them throughly. It must be con- sidered that great road congress is the medium through which road build CTS and engineers from various sec tions get in touch with one another. It is the channel of communication of ideas, of exchange of views. It Is the cleraing house where all meth ods and systems are weighed, and dis Icussed, and sifted, and the most com plete facts brought out.
 The details of the Pan-American Road Congress have been arranged with view to covering all possible phases of highway construction, main ance and administration, by the pres entation of papers and by discussions along lines of the most complete dev- elopment, by experts on the respec- tive subjects. The value of these papers and discussions must be appar- ant to anyone who has any connection with road or street construction or maintance, or who is interested in their improvmentor extension.
 All factors involved seem to indie ate that the Pan-American Road Con- press will the most largely attended and most throughlyly interesting and instructive of any similar highway meeting ever organized in this country or any other.
 Special activity is reported among the road and street officials of the Pac- fife states, and full attendance from that section is anticipated There is large amount of highway construc- tion now in progress in the coast states, and reports are that deep in terest is being taken in the Pan-Amer- ican Road Congress. Its deliberations and discussions and inspections are to be of service in the work now in pro- gress as well as in that which is in

SONS WANT MEM-
 BERSHIP OF 10000

The Sons of Confederate Veterans of Arkansas have started an active campaign for membership of 10000 in the state. The beginning is in Little Rock, where the camp member ship will be increased to at least 1000. The endless chain plan is be- ing put into use here. Ten Sons each took ten applications and agreed to hand them back in, properly filled out at luncheon to be held next Friday. Each of the ten also agreed to bring three new members to the luncheon. The twenty new members thus attend ing, will then be asked to bring in each ten new members and three of them to the luncheon to be held the following week. This campaign, sim ilarily worked, will be later extended over the entire state.

Actors In ThrillerS

BY GARDNER MACK.

Inquiry has frequently been made
OF film stars as to whether or not
they ever experienced tremor of
fear in connection with the hair

picture plays. The average tilm star
is unconscious OF the personal risk

sus OF answers given TO this qucs-
ton, There Is certain class OF
actors ami actresses who devote
themselves to thrilling melodrama,
and each play they produce they try
to MAKE more thrilling than the one
that preceded II. Most of these peo-
pic declare that the matter OF per-
sonal danger seldom occurs TO them
until after the thing Is done. They
are simply unconscious OF the risk
until the decd has been done.

Doctor Tells How to
Shed Bad Complexion

We cannot restore degenerated IA
cial tissue any more than We can re.
store a lost limb. 1t Is useless to at
tempt to convert a WORKOUT complex
ion into a new one. The rational pro-
cedure is to remove the complexion
instead--remove the devitalized cuti-
Gle. Not by surgical means. however,
as the underlying cults Is too thin. too
tender, to withstand immediate expo
sure. Applying ordinary mercolzed
wax will gradually absorb the offend
ing cuticle. BY degrees, new, youth
full skin appears; soft and delicately
tinted as rose petal.
No lady need hesitate to try this.
Procure an ounce of mercolized wax
Of the druggist. Spread on thin lay
er before retiring, removing this in
the morning with soap and water. In
from one to two weeks the complex
ion is completely transformed.

is provided by dissolving an ounce OF

witch hazel. Bathing the face in the SO

results.-Dr. r. Mackenzie In Popular
