MAKING ROADS IN THE FALL

which soon wash them into cutters
and ruin the roads for heavy loads and
comfortable travel

the road tax should not be used for
putting the highways In u better con.

UNRAVEL ROAD LEGISLATION
Joint Committee Working to Bring
About Simplicity, Efficiency and
Uniformity Of Laws.

To bring about revision Of state
road laws along lines that will insure
simplicity, efficient management, and,
where desirable, uniformity is the
task undertaken by special JOINT
committee appointed at the third
American road congress and repre-
senting the American Bar association
and the American Highway associa'
ton, The magnitude, intricacy and
political and technical difficulties OF
the undertaking are discussed in an
article prepared for the Engineering
Record by j, r. Pennybacker, chief
Of the division Of road economics OF
the United States Office Of public roads
Between three and four million
words comprise existing road legtsla
ton in the several states, according to
the estimate Of officials in the Office Of
public roads, This great wilderness
Of words would make up an edition Of
30 tairsi2ed volumes, In view of the
comparative simplicity of the sub
lcct, this vast accumulation Of stat
utos, according to Mr. Pennybacker Is
scathing commentary on the con.
structye statesmanship Of our legis'
lators for many generations. There Is
scarcely doubt that at least 80 per
cent Of the legislation Is superiuous,
and that, entirely aside from the mat
ter Of reform, exactly the same pur'
poses contemplated In the existing leg
islaton could be accomplished with
greater effectiveness with oneeighth
Of the existing statute laws
The compilers have found legisla'
tion still in effect almost Identical as
to form and substance with the old
colonial road laws, which were in turn
based upon English precedent, extend
ing back to the time of Queen Eliza
beth; they have found statutes so
hopelessly in conflict as to make eili'
clent and responsible administration
utterly impossible As an example OF
the bewldering confusion Of existing
the compilers came across
In the statutes Of one Of our most pro-
gressive states a recent enactment
amending road law which was re-
pealed two years before the amend.

none of the legislators have thus far

To Restore Worn Leather.

Leather hand bags, purses, card
cases and belts, if black, can be re-
stored to original beauty in the follow
ing manner: Buy tube of ivory
black oil paint and apply it to the
leather by rubbing it in with a piece
of old stocking 1t should be used
generously and rubbed in vigorously,
so as to leave no noticeable residue.
Let it stand "a hours and if the surface
of the leather is rough, polish with
piece of old Turkish toweling. Let
stand another "a hours, and if the dye
will be permanently set and none will
rub off even on white gloves. By
the same method colored leather can
be dyed black, but number of coats
would be necessary. Each coat should
be given "a hours to dry, and each
coat must be polished before another
is applied. The degree of polish de-
ponds on the amount of rubbing The

MODISH AND PRETTY
NEUTRAL TONES ARE DECIDEDLY
ATTRACTIVE.
Also There Is Enough Variety to En-
able Any Woman to Make a Sc
lection That VIII Please
Permanently.

If you prefer a dark coloring for
your new silk dress, are tired OF blue
and do not want black, there are such
lovely neutral tones to choose from,
such as gun-metal grays, very dark
olive greens and the almost black
shade of brown known as tete de
negre, and seal brown. This is very
modish color, and when touched up
with a bit of enlivening color of white
to relieve the neck and sleeve ends
some very rich effects can be achieved.
The illustrated design is a splendid
one for development in seal brown
with an interesting vest-girdle, and
sleeves of cream cDlored taffeta striped
with lapis-lazuli blue.
There is a high-necked guimpe of
white Georgette crepe, shirred at the
neck and wrists to give a generous
fullness. Frills of self-material add a
soft finish at the top of the collar and
sleeve ends. Over the guimpe is worn
the attractive jumper blouse Of brown
taffeta, widely open in front, slashed
over the shoulders and bloused over
the top of the striped girdle. The I'M
der elbow-length sleeves of striped
silk must be attached to the guimpe.
A close row of silver buttons trims the
center of the draped girdle, to whose
lower edge the tunic and drop skirt
are applied with a cord finish and mar
row heading of plated silk. China
silk will do for the drop skirt, to which
the two lower flounces are se1ed.
They are circular f1ounces and finished
with narrow plated ruff1es of Ihe
goods.
The tunic is a little below knee
length, and similarly bordered with a
narrow plating. Unlike the two

GERMAN SOAP FROM SUGAR
mense Importance to Country in
the Midst of War.

The discovery is announced of a
method of manufacture of soap from
sugar, OF which Germany has plenty,
instead of from oil, which is scarce In
the past it has been possible to use
sugar only in soaps that had little
value. BY the new method, it is
claimed, the soap produced is not
only fine and delicate, but it acts as
efficiently in salt water as in fresh
fact that may make the soap valu-
able for the navy
Articles that formerly had to be
sent to chemical laundries can now be
washed with the new kind of soap.
The finest kinds of silks, it is alleged,
not only are not harmed by it, but
their colors are brought out brilliantly
and as new. In addition, the sugar
soap seems to be responsible for a
minimum of the wear and tear occa-
stoned by old-fashioned cleansing
soaps.

ORIGINAL IDEA OF MERIT
Novel Gift That Could Not Fail to
Give Delight to the Fortunats
Recipient.

A girl who is hailed among her espe-
cial friends as the only original one
fully lived up to her name and reputa-
ton by bringing to the last linen
shower a most novel gift-and it was
rot linen 1t was intended, however,
for the lingerie chest and was the
most novel and prettiest of sachets.
Apparently, when the eager bride-to-
be opened the little Powered, silk-cov-
cred box, she saw lying in its silken
depth a large creamy satin rose.
When she lifted It for further exam
nation a sweet aroma was diffused
through the room and the rose was
discovered to be nothing more than
a number of peta1-like bags of sachet
attached to a central calyx disk by
means of the smallest of gilt safety
pins. The petals shaded from light
cream at the outer edge to deep pink
in the center. The only original girl
admitted TO having used a real rose"
as her model, and shaping the petal
sachets accordingly. A clever little
verse told the delighted recipient that
one petal at time might be removed
and attached to any piece of lingerie
she desired The sachet used was a
delicate rose. which had first been
laid between thin strips of soft cot

Board Holds First Meeting.

The first meeting of the newly Gre
ated Wisconsin state board Of exam
iners in optometry was held in Mil
waukee
Willis Chappell was elected pres1-
dent. and. G. D. Waugh, Milwaukee,
secretary The other members OF the
board are A. E. Harte, Evansville;
Hugh McEwan, Fond du Lac, and A.
E. Lueck. Amigo. They were ap-
pointed by Gov. E. L. Philip.
The board decided to hold an exam
ination in Milwaukee October 20 and
26, and in Madison on January IL and
u. Under the new law no one can
practice optometry in Wisconsin until
a certificate has been awarded by the
board
The new Wisconsin law will greatly
elevate the profession, according to
Secretary A. Fuchs of the Milwaukee
Optical society, which met in the
Hotel Wisconsin.
THE law will rid Wisconsin of
fake opticians who have hitherto
overrun the state. Nearly every state
has had prohibitive laws which in the
past has forced incompetent men into

Inability to secure certain lenses
from Europe has caused an increase
