1T Is wonderful what miracles OF i'm
provement in looks can be brought
about by means OF the couture and Its
decorations. Only beautiful and au-
dacious youth can afford to wear
plain, severe styles of hairdressing.
Waves that mitigate the austerity OF
straight lines. curls which suggest
femininity. are almost invariably be-
coming, And aside from becomingness
a wells roomed appearance (more evil
dent In the couture than anywhere)
has compelling charm in itself.
When the Lest and most tasteful OF
hair ornaments are worn. to set on the
chic couture, chance is given for the
exercise of individual taste. There are
many pretty hair ornaments, unpreten-
tious and elegant. that any clever
woman can fashion for herself. Near
ly all OF the new ones are made OF
strands OF small rhinestones, used In
single or double bands. about the head,
in the manner OF Greek bands. But
with them flowers, feathers. or velvet
ornaments are used.
Two of the Jest designs are shown
here and one hardly needs more than
the picture to re able TO go about
copying them. One consists CT a rhine
stone band sewed to me silkcovered

Fastened on the band at one side is
a cluster Of grayish blue full-blown
roses OF velvet, with small sprays OF
tiny rose foliage In sage green One
might wear such subdued colors with
almost any costume. The sparkle OF
the rhinestones gives life to the pretty
affair. and alt jgether its beauty makes
an instant appeal.
The second ornament is made Of a

Discard Small Turban.

In Paris the leaders of fashion have
discarded the small turban hat for the
larger models of white satin. These
stunning hats appear in wide vari-
ETY. OF shapes, with gracefully rolling
brims or brims which fare more on
one side than the other. The favor

brimmed sailor, smoothly covered
with white satin of u good quality.
These are trimmed with simple bow
of white satin. the ends Of which are
sometimes fringed. Fantasies of plu-

majority are simply trimmed with the
satin or MORE.

Up Highways Built for Public.

You bought and paid for the road
that runs by your doorway and the
other roads In your township and
county. That is, you paid your part
In building the highway. II you are
property owner you paid that part
directly In 80 many dollars and cents
of road and bridge tax. II you are a
renter you are not escaping. You are
paying in rent and indirectly.
The road is your road II 1t is cut

ri next winter, when the ruts are hub
deep. II you permit heavy rains to
scour out the foundations OF wooden
culvert and that culvert finally falls
Ia or is washed out, you, as one of the
daily users OF that road, will be dis.
commoded.
Most of our roads are dirt highways,
writes H. s. Sullivan of Missouri In
Farm Progress. Only n small, very
small, percentage OF the highways of
this country are hard roads, One
hundred years from now we may have
the beautiful metal highways such
as are found In the older European
countries, but this is big land Of
ours. II Is country OF magnificent
distances, and the rock and concrete
roads are going to be built very
slowly.
1t Is the dirt highway that suffers
from carelessness. Two or three men
In neighborhood can spoil more miles
OF highway than the remainder of the
community can build. They are abus.
ers of what other men build They
will pile on the heaviest load IL is
possible to pull and they never use
the wide-tired vehicles that might help
the wagon track stand up under the
big loads.
Good or bad weather Is all the same

want hauled The sensible man knows
that the use of dirt road for heavy
hauling In bad weather will spoil the
highway. He won't do any team
ing that he can avoid, but the road
butcher will go right ahead. He will
spoil his own roads and the roads of
others.
There ought to be some punishment
provided for the man who will DELHI
erately cut up the roadway built by the
community for the use of the whole
community and paid for with the pub.
lie money. Some states have laws
providing punishment for the man who
overloads, who uses "skidding logs"
who fills mudholes full of old rails,
chunks and poles, and who will pile a
wheelbarrow full of rocks in a rut,
to become menace to all vehicles as
soon as the road dries off.
But these laws are seldom enforced
Not from any lack OF offenders or from
the lack OF knowledge as to just who
the offenders are. Good people are
afraid to complain against such men.
They are found In every neighborhood
and they go along for years in DOM

all manner OF injustices because they
have their bluff in on the commu-

A BLESSING TO LABOR.
An authority on the labor question

M HutnurIty ON the IHDOr quebtIon

The wiping out Of the liquor traffic
will throw two thousand millions OF
dollars annually into the legitimate
channels of trade and industry. This
would take the entire output OF every
factory now in existence and necessi-
tate the building OF new factories. It
would give employment to every idle
person at increased wages. The bene-
fits thus accruing to labor would far

AMERICAN FLAG
 TRAMPLED UPON
AMERICAN CITIZEN CARRYING DISPATCHES ARRESTED AND
 THREATENED WITH DEATH.
o.n ROBERT L. BORDEN

hington.-Another critical situa. when the State Department was in, formed officially that the American flag had been trampled upon and torn to pieces near Pachucha; that Allen Mallory, an American citizen carrying dispatches, had been arrested and threatened with death. and that a reign of terror" exists in the Mexi- can capital
 The dispatch to the State Depart ment says:
 Allen Mallory, citizen of the Unit. ed States, 23 years of age. was assault. ed by Zapatistas while carrying core spondence between Puebla and Mexi co City. He was riding in an automo- accompanied by the son of the Chilean minister, a Swiss citizen and Spanish subjects. The Spaniards were removed from the machine and ordered to be executed.
 The American flag was taken from the car, trampled upon and torn to pieces. Mallory was taken to Mexico City, where he was informed by Za- patistas that he would be shot if he made further disturbance.
 There is an absolute reign of ter TOT as far as legal responsibility is concerned"
 It is indicated in another dispatch that the Spanish subjects who were with Mallory were dragged into the mountains by horses. Their fate is unknown, although it is reported that "at last accounts, one of them was still alive"
 Mallory protested against the sen- tencing of the Spaniards, one of whom was his chauffeur.
 Keep your mouth shut or you will be shot he was told by the officer. who later released him. An investiga- tion of the incident has been ordered.
 The State Department assumes that Mallory was carrying dispatches from American officials in Mexico City to Vera Cruz. If it is proved that he had dispatches from the Brazilian min ister for the State Department, it would be a high aggravation of the case, although the insult to the flag could not be exceeded as an indignity to the United States

More than 10 per cent increase th the number of Confederate pensioners in the state is shown In the reports from 50 of the 75 county pension boards so far received at the office of the state auditor The state pension board will approve the applications for pensions. and officials of the audi tors office are endeavoring to secure the reports from all counties before that time.
 It is estimated that the pensioners will not receive more than 65 per cent on their pension warrants this year. because of the large increase in the number of applications without an in crease in the fund. The last Legisla- ture passed a law making the condi- tions for applicants more liberal, which accounts for the heavy increase, despite the deaths during the year
 Last year the 50 counties had a to- tai of 5,SSS pensioners. This year the total will be 6,515 There were LOSE new applications and 4S6 deaths. Gar land, Lonoke and St. Francis Counties showed decrease in the number Of pension applicants. Union County had the largest increase, 43.

LAND MARINES AT
 PORT All PRINCE
WASHINGTON GIVES FRANCE PERMISSION TO GUARD LEGA-
 TON IN THAT CITY.
FORCE WILL BE INCREASED
1t Is Estimated By Admiral Caperton There Are About 12,ooo Men
 Capable of Bearing Arms.

Washington.-Fran has been given permission by the United States to land marines at Port Au Prince, Haiti, for the protection of the French lega- tion in that city, where Admiral Ca perton is in control.
 The Navy Department gave out the following statement:
 Hast night Secretary of the Navy Daniels received dispatch from Ad- miral Caperton stating that the French minister at Port Au Prince had re- quested permission to land small de- tachment from the French cruiser Descartes to guard the French lega- ton, as he considered it fitting that the legation should be guarded by French troops.
 Secretary Daniels, after a confer ence with Secretary of State Lansing. facilities to the French minister for the landing of crews"
 This attitude of France shows that she at least regards the United States as In unquestioned control of the af- fairs in Haiti. In the opinion of off cials, it shows also that, after the landing of marines by Admiral Caper- ton, the United States must be re- garded by foreign nations as fully re- sponsible for eventualities. The United States will thus take care of not only English and French, but German and -txso 1xI s,.t@
 It was stated that the danger in the city is regarded as increasing It is expected by navy officials that as Admiral Caperton has cabled that more marines might be needed" the department will at moments notice send thousand marines as re-enforce- ments from Philadelphia, either by the Hancock or by the North Dakota, or by both.
 Navy officers say that the situation may be made critical for the 400 ma rines in Port au Prince at any moment. They estimate the population at about 60.000. There are, therefore, about 12,000 men capable of bearing arms Tn the city and suburbs. Admiral Caper- ton, officials say, foresaw the danger of attack from the citizen snipers and persuaded the local authorities that it was in the interest of all concerned that firearms should be taken away from every citizen.
 It is said that about 5000 guns have already been stacked up in the nation. al D9lace which is heinz puardpd hv Admiral Caperton with a strong guard.

WILSON TO END
 MEXICAN STRIFE
UPON RETURN TO WASHINGTON DEFINITE STEPS WILL BE
 TAKEN FOR PEACE.

shington.-Defnite steps toward the restoration of peace in Mexico will be taken immediately after President Wilson returns from New Hampshire. The specific action the president may have decided on has not been dis closed, but it was stated authoritative ly that the executive departments of the government were preparing to car " out promptly the program deter mined on. Only an unexpected move In Mexico itself to end the strife, 1t is said, would delay further affirmative action by the United States to restore constitutional government
 Armed intervention is not regarded as contemplated. Many officials be- lieve no forceful measures will be re- quired Persistent reports have reach ed here that leaders are inclined to yield to the demands of this govern ment for peace conference.
 Reports are generally credited that a message will be sent to the leaders, giving them a final chance to cease hostilities within a limited time and assemble a conference. Possibilities of another failure to bring this about ln view of Gen. Carranza's last refusal to join in conference with his ad- yersaries is being considered by the president, it is declared. Whether in that event a general embargo on arms expectations will be imposed on Amer. ican troops employed to assure trans. portation of food to the starving peo- pie, cannot be predicted. It is known. however, that the army and navy are ready for any eventuality.
 Secretary Lansing said that repre- sentations sent to Gen. Carranza, Gen Villa and Gen. Zapata urging that routes to Mexico City be opened to provision trains were forceful
