pn unimproved grades and without proper drainage, failure has neces- sarily resulted. There are on record in the department of agriculture instances showing where the so-called macad- am roads have been built with bond money by simply dumping broken stone at the wrong time of year on muddy surfaces without grades or alignments and without roll ing or binding. Investment of money in new roads does not become real economy until provision is made for keeping these new roads in condition by maintenance and repair after they are built.
 Through a misunderstanding of the essential principles underlying the es- tablishment of a proper country road system, conflicts of interest sometime arise which cause the failure of the bond-issue plan. The location of the roads to be improved should not be determined by argument, but upon sound engineering and economic prin- ciples. Before community votes to issue bonds for highways it is neces- sary to study thoroughly what roads ought to be improved, and the ap- proximate cost of their construction

SAGE TEA DARKENS
 HAIR ID ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an 0Id-time Recipe that Any,
 body Can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to it's natural color dates back to grandmother time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, Saded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won- derful effect
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de- pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- plication or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com. pound Is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of dis ease.-Adv.

 Reed for Highway Engineers.
 Highway plans for bond issues re- quire expert skill and professional service. Before the amount of bonds is determined, a thorough study of the needs of the county should be made and careful maps of the pro- posed highway system should be pre- pared. The sum to be issued should not be fixed until it is reasonably known what it will accomplish. It is customary for many counties to ap- point commission of business men under whose jurisdiction the bond money is expended. In other cases the county supervisor or county com- missioner has the direction of expendi- lures. The best results have always followed where such commissions or county boards have secured the serv- ices Of a competent highway en- gineer.

WashingtOn.-The Burnett immigra- tion bill, with it's IiteTacy test and Asiatic exclusion provisions un- changed, passed the House, 3O8 to S7. It now goes to the Senate, where fa- vorable action is regarded as assured.
 The literacy test, about which the fight against the bill had centered, was sustained, 284 to 107 This prov1- sion brought yetoes of similar immi- grafton bills by Presidents Cleveland, Taft and Wilson.
 Representative Burnett, chairman of the immigration committee, pre- dicted there was sufficient strength to repaJs the bill over another veto. The president has not indicated his purpose to the House leaders.
 Both record votes on the literacy test and on the passage of the bill were without regard to party lines. Majority Leader Kitchin voted for the literacy test and for the bill, Minor ity Leader Mann voted against the literacy test and then for the bill

 Asiatie exclusion provisions specif- ically bar Hindus. Pacific coast mem- bers were satisfied with these provi- sion which also give legislative rec ognition to the existing gentlemen agreement" with Japan for the exciu- sion of Japanese laborers.
 The bill extends and strengthens laws regarding smuggling and harboring of inadmissable aliens, increases penal ties imposed on steamship companies for illegal acts in connection with 1m- migrant traffic, requires such com panies to repay passage expenses to rejected alients, doubles the head tax from S4 to $8, and imposes restrIc. tions designed to prevent alien sea men who leave their ships from re- maining in this country.

Of the various methods of financing road projects the one most generally practiced for raising substantial fund which will be available for immediate expenditure is through the issuance of bonds. Experience, say the road spe- cialists of the department, has shown good roads to be a sound investment, both from a business and economic standpoint. If properly proportioned and managed bond issues are made for their improvement, the roads them selves will pay off the indebtedness thus created through the utility which they afford and the saving which will result in the cost of hauling.
 Some Reasons fer Failure.
 Instances are not lacking where bond issues for highway purposes have proved failures. These failures are due to mismanagement rather than to defective principle. Where coun- ties have issued highway bends the proceeds of which have been spent to construct temporary road surfaces

many communities, it is now becoming common for counties to adopt this plan. In all engineering construction it is customary to allow certain per- centage of the cost for engineering and supervision. There is no reason why highway building should be made an exception to this rule. At least five per cent of the bond issue may we'll be set aside for engineering and supervision alone. Money spent to hire competent engineer to make pre- liminary investigations before bonds are issued and to plan and supervise construction will be well spent. It is not uncommon to find counties that will repeatedly postpone the sale of bonds in order to obtain an increase of one per cent in bid for $100,000 or less and then proceed to construct the roads in a most haphazard and ill., planned manner.
