Of perpleXity among those who have
put their money in the high-crOwned
hat. They were inaugurated by two
Young brides, who appeared simulta-
neously with them as an evidence that
they were quite the correct thing.
They were fiat, simply trimmed and
were not tilted over one eye. They
showed a good deal of the ripping
hair One was so small it looked like
skull cap
Now, what will you? No sooner
have the milliners, with the aid and
money of the majority of women,
flooded the continent with high
crowned position hats than those
who should launch a new fashion do
1t in the form of tiny turbans. The
shops which exploit this new kind of
hat are good enough to place a rakish
arrangement of velvet across the back
which looks like two long bean pods
blowing in the wind, and now and
then they are secured by an ornament
Of cut steel, for cut steel, you know,
happens to be undergoing an unusual
degree of popularity.
Fortunately for the woman who has
an average face and who cannot in
dulge in extraordinary fashions. there
are turbans which are equally fashion
able with the small ones, but having
enough height and irregularity to be
becoming. The French are featuring
these turbans as substitutes for the
high-crowned coachman's hat to which
they gave all their attention in Sep.
TENDER.
The fashion for vivid colors on the
head has launched a mass of varie-
gated velvet hats to be worn with som.
Der tailored suits on the street, and in
a more subdued form with afternoon
gowns. The velvet in these turbans
is very supple and silky and is pulled
up and out into irregular folds. Right
In this manipulation rests the skill of
the milliner and the resultant beauty
of the hat
characterization is allowed, but It
must be gently done. A spray of cut
steel fashioned in some fragile form
can be used on the crown to hold flow
ers and butterflies that have appeared
on the fiat, black velvet sailors. are
not used on the turbans. There are
aigrettes, but they do not cause sor-
row or annoyance from the onIooker

GOOD
IMPROVE ROADS BY DRAINAGE
One of the Most Important Matters to
Be Considered in Construction
of Public Highways.
(By E. L. GATES. IIllnois.l


When it comes to building roads
there are good many problems to
solve and not easy ones at that. Rid
ing along in an auto it is easy enough
to say when you strike a smooth
stretch, this is fine," and turn on a
little more gas, but when you hit
mudhole and ruts you may get your
foot on the wrong pedal and the road
commission catches it.
1t takes labor, time, good material
and money to have good roads. Every
one wants the roads, so we will all
have to work and spend some of our
time and money and boost for better
roads.
One of the things most needed is
better drainage for the roads as well
as for the farms and at this time we
will confine this article to the subject
Of drainage.
Drainage is the most important
matter to be considered in the con-
will often change a bad road into a
good one while the best stone road
may be destroyed from lack of prop
er drainage.
There are three systems Of drainage
that we can use to advantage, and
these are underdrainage, side bitches
and surface drainage.
Where water stands on a road I'M

better than grading without under
drainage. Underdrainage is not to re-
move simply the surface water but its
greatest help is to lower the water lev
ell in the soil.
The action of the sun and wind will
finally dry the surface of the road but
if the foundation is wet and soft the
wheels will wear ruts and these get
filled with water during the first rains
and the road becomes a sticky mass
An undrained soil is a poor founda'
ton upon which to build roads as well
as anything else. When frost is leav.
ing the ground the thawing is quite
as much from the bottom as from the
top. If underdrainage is provided the
water is Immediately removed.
The best and cheapest method to
secure underdrainage is to lay line
Of farm drain tile on one or both sides
of the road. The new road law gives
the highway commissioners power to
contract with adjoining property own
ers to lay larger tile than is necessary
to drain the road and to permit the
contracting parties to drain their
lands. This helps the roads and at
the same time is a great benefit to
the adjoining land.
Side bitches are necessary to all
roads but no road can be maintained
with the ditch holding the water un

chopped almonds and dress with a
spoonful of mayonnaise.
Pear sprinkled with preserved ginger
and dressed with mayonnaise ar
ranged on lettuce is another we'll liked
combination.
For a simple salad which may be
quickly prepared, chopped apple, a
few raisins and little celery with any
boiled dressing is good, but with the
addition of nuts it is much better.
Date SaIad.-Clean and stone a
pounds of dates removing all the fiber.
Cut three oranges in thin slices after
removing all the peeling, Mix a cup
full each of chopped apple and celery
and half the dates with any good salad
dressing. Place the center slice Of
orange on bed of lettuce, spread with
the apple mixture and cover with the
next slice in size, then another layer
of apple and dates and another slice.
Top the salad with a generous spoon
full of mayonnaise.
Fruit SaIad.-Wash and cut in strips
a pound of figs. Remove the pulp
from two oranges without breaking
the sections; slice three bananas, COW
er with tablespoonful of lemon juice,
mix all together and serve with a few
sliced nuts on lettuce with any de-
sired dressing.
Pineapple Saad.-Take can of
grated pineapple, mix with a cupful
of white grapes, seeded and peeled; a
half cupful of pecans, broken in bits !;
a cupful of marshallows, cut in quar-.
tiers; cupful OF whipped cream, to
which two tablespoonfuls of boiled
dressing has been added; served in
red apple cups is most delightful
salad in both appearance and taste.

The Last Resort,

Pats one trouble was that he could
not wake up in the morning. His land
lady had tried every device she
could think of, but even the most
determined of alarm clocks had no
effect on Pats SAUNDERS.
One day he returned home from
his work with large paper parcel.
There, now, Mrs. JONES'" said he
triumphantly, as he unwrapped huge
bell, and what dye think O that
now?"
Goodness, mani" exclaimed the
surprised landlady Whatever are
you wanting with that great thing"
AS he tucked the bell under his
arm and prepared to go upstairs, Pat
replied, with knowing grin:
Sure, and I'm going to ring it at
six o'clock ivry morning and wake
mesilf up"

New French Mourning Millinery
Shows Thio, and It Has Been
Copied in CoIors.

Some milliners who cooperate with
the dressmakers are trying to launch
the close-titting bonnet with it's strings
beneath the chin.
Further impetus has been given to
this shape through the new fashions
in French mourning millinery which
have been brought to this country and
which have been found to be unusually
becoming. Women have had these
copied, not even emitting the strings
under the chin. To call this single
band of folded material by the name
of strings, however, is both incorrect
and misleading. 1t is not as old
fashioned in it's effect as were the
strings that tied in wide bow ex-
actly beneath the chin, but it is prob
ably a lead toward them.
The mourning bonnets are really
square turbans, that are not high,

DESIRABLE TO PUSH PULLETS
Variety Is as Important as Liberal
Quantity in Feeding to Increase
the Egg Yield.

From now on, the price of eggs will
rule high until the spring months,
and it is desirable to push the pullets
along.
Liberal feeding, beginning with
either a good dry or moist mash in
the morning, plenty green stuff, and
meat scraps with some cut bone, and
il evening good dry grain, should
hurry the egg production.
Variety is as important as liberal
quantity in feed.

TRY DIPPING THE LIGHTS
Properly Arranged. Scheme viii Add
Immensely to AttractiVeness of
the Home.

Add immensely to the attractiveness
of your home by diffusing the lights
instead of focusing them on one point.
Eye strain will be relieved and shad-
ows and outlines will be softened,
especially when amber lights are used.
The new, indirect lighting fixtures are
replacing old-fashioned ones, making
the lighting problem more artistic and
less expensive.
Much the same effect may be pro-
duced with less expense by frosted
bulbs and globes, gelatin films and
glass diffusing plates. There are va
rious types of this indirect lighting
suitable for all rooms, from the kitch-
en- to the parlor, and it is to be recon-
mended as blessing to the busy eyes
and the tense nerves of today.

Late Hatchers for BroiIers.

Late-hatched chickens if kept in
warm quarters, and fed properly, with
sufficient range and some green food,
may be turned off for broilers after
the holiday season is over and bring

A late turkey is unlike a chicken, in
asmuch as small chicken is the acme

apt to be, but the turkey can be kept

The road drag is not an equipment
