No one knows when the physical valuation
of the interstate railroads will be completed
Few believe that it will be of much value when
finished. Valuation experts are at work in
various parts of the country and congress will
be asked at this session for another three mil
lion, five hundred thousand dollars to be ex-
pended on what probably will prove useless
undertaking. Charles A Prouty, director, says
the total cost will be kept within the original
estimate of fifteen to twenty million dollars.
The public will pay the BILL and there is no as
surance>th it will receive anything worth
while in return.

The fronts of the bodice arc !appcd one over the other Tn quite new and distinctive manner and the hared gorcd skirt makes one of the most interesting reviva's that we have had. Altogether. it makes most attractive gown appropriate for great many nateriais-for silk, for linen, for wool and for cotton. The little center front portion of the bodice that, appears be- tween the crosssd over portions, allows effective use of contrasting material. On the figure, the gown is mads ot checked 9abard,ne and this little trim ming portion. the collar. the cuffs and the bands, are of velvet. In one dia- gram the pattern is shown laid out on material A inches wide; in the other. the pieces are numbered to show you how they are to be put together. With the help of the two diagrams, making is so sirnplified that any. woman who can sew seam will be able to make the garment without any difficulty.
 As first step, smooth out all the pieces of the pattern and look them over to be sure you understand which is which; then pin them on the ma terial as indicated oi the diagram. The pattern gives the sesonas and the basting line therefore, there is no thinking to te done You need only mark on the outside edge of the tissue

Gather the blouse on the lower edge between the double crosses and join to the narrow belt, putting the center. backs exactly together, the single largs perforations of the belt in the center. front, and the smaller single perfora- tions at the under-arm seams, and cut the left side of the belt of at the edge of the blouse. Then lay that portion of the gown aside and make the skirt.
 Join the gores, meeting the notches exactly, and leave an opening at the right side of the front above tha notches. For the skirt make either the double seams or the single ones with bound edges pressed open. exactly as you. have done 70! tne blouse. Just which kind you should use depends entirely upon the m9s terial. Thin fabrics such ae crepe da chine and the like should be made with double seams. Heavy materian such as serge, gabardine and the like should be made with bound edges, for the double seams vii, be clumsy. Under-face the front edge .of the opening on the right side of the front and finish the back edge with m ex-, tension lap, that Is stitch a .stfaight strip of material one inch wide undef the edge and allow it to extend beyond Join the skirt to the belt with tho center-fronts and backs exactly to- gether and the single perforaticts meeting" Lap the right side of tho blouse over the left with the lafgs perforations meeting and slip the point of the left front through the opening in the right, then close with the snap, fastcnings. Close the skirt invisibly. Finish the wider belt and adjust over the narrower belt; closing with an ornament or in any way that you may like.
 To make the gown from mstefial A inches wide there will be needed AZ yards with 2s yard of velvet ~ 3 inches wide for the collar. cuffs and the trimming.

As the next step, close the shoulder and under-arm seams. It you are using thin material, make the double seams that so often have been de- scribed.

 Auto Truck Is Profitable.

Interesting figures have been pre- rared by Fire Chief Briener, to show the diffrence in, operating cost and upkeep between the auto truck and a horse drawnA fire Wagon. the auto mobile apparatus costing about $135 per year less to maintain and operate than does horse drawn vehicle. :. < Chief Briener's sfigures are as fol- lows:3 <
 Auto truck-Gasoline $39.99; oil, $50; cup grease, $2.7O; auto soap, s2; chamois skin, $320; sponges, $9; repairs. vulcanizing one tire which had been cut by "a piece of rock, $6; ttctal for the year, $65.39. E
 Two-horse, team wagon-Feed and hay, $156.SS shoes, $50; repairs to harness and pits, $6: doctor and IT. medicine, $5; sponges, $2.50; polish, $50; totab $191,S8: There were ether little expenses incurred by the horses, which brought the total up to $2O0. Fire Chief Briener did not take ill any expenses for repairs to the horse-drawn wagon, working on the basis of new apparatus throughout.
 The auto truck began operations just about. the opening of the. new year although it arrived here late in December, 1914. It has run 699 miles in actual service, making the average cost per mile of fire run just 6 1-3 cents. The truck cos about 5000 in city scrip, and after a years service and the expenditure of $6 for repairs to one tire, is in as fine con- oltion as when it first arrived from tile factory. 4k S#

Through this action of these business men, the city is now in pos session ofra piece of fire apparatus which is as up-to-date as any in the state.
 Some of the men named in the list below purchased the scrip at par, at outright sale, and others made cash aonations in amounts to equal the rate of discount then prevailing. the result in each instance being the same, the par value of the scrip being obtained, for payment to the manu- lecturers of the truck.
