YELLOW AND PINK
MOST CONSERVATIVE COLORS
Skirts Resemble the Red and White
Stripes of Stick Candy.

Easter styles this year will be the
most gorgeous ever seen, according to
advance displays in department
stores.
Church interiors and promenades
will have the appearance of brightly
colored crazy quilts combined with
brilliant flower gardens, for never
before have the women planned such
daring designs in dresses and hats.
Green, yellow and pink will be
among the conservative shades for
dresses. There will be skirts with
wide stripes of red and white, and
red and blue, resembling the old-time
stick candy that used to delight the
youngsters.
Hats viii be even more gorgeous
than dresses while shoes and hose will
rival the hues of the rainbow.

EARTH WILL HAVE
RED HOT FINISH
French Scientist Thinks World MAY
End by Seas Bottom Dropping
Out and Release of Fires.


A new kind of end Of the world has
been imagined by M. Louis Rabour-
din, French scientist. Sometimes it
has been suggested that the world
would gradually become cold, so that
life would be frozen out. Mr.. Rab-
ourdin, however, thinks it possible
that the earth might end in an mean
descent blaze The earth's crust, he
says, is very thin at the bottom of
the sea, and should it give way in
consequence of volcanic action the
earth might be consumed by flames.
Suppose" he states, "that, fol-
lowing an extraordinary twisting
movement, due to retreat of the CEN
trail mass, large mass of the sea-
bottom should give way, and, fall
ing suddenly, should let in the mass
or the oceans waters upon the incan-
descent interior matter. The water
would be decomposed by the heat, the
hydrogen would burn more as it had
access to more oxygen.
"The confagration would then gain
in force, accompanied by electric phe-
nomena, and the greater part of the
earth's crust would probably be dis
placed. The earth, passing through
critical epoch and returning for the
time being to its formative period,
would again be nothing but a globe
of fire.

MORE MONEY SPENT
ON ROADS IN SOUTH
IN TEN YEARS EXPENDITURES
INCREASE FROM $21, 100000
TO $50, 500, 900 ANNUALLY.

The total annual public revenues
spent for road and bridge construc-
ton in the sixteen Southern states
increased in ten years from slightly
more than $21, 100000 to approx
mately $50, 100000, according to sta
tistics just published by the office Of
public roads and rural engineering
of the United States department of
agriculture. This was an increase of
143 per cent.
The road mileage at the close of
the period was 814,567. The sur
faced mileage was approximately 49,
CO., which was 9.03 per cent of the
total. Five years before the proper
ton of surfaced road was COS per
cent of the total.
The greatest road development was
in Kentucky, where PA per cent of
the total road mileage was surfaced.
The lowest percentage of road mile
age surfaced-0.11-was in Okla
homa. The greatest percentage of
the improved roads in the South
Approximately 40 per cent-was sur
faced with sand clay. Macadam was
used on 20 per cent of the surfaced
mileage, and gravel on approximately
"a per cent. Other relatively short
lengths of road bituminous macadam,
brick, concrete, and other materials
were used for sufacing.
Though in most of the Southern
states the great bulk of road work
still is done under the direction of
county authorities the bulletin points
out that fourteen states now have
highway departments, only Texas
and South Carolina remaining with
out state highway bureaus.
Outstanding in the sixteen South
ern states are more than $77,0O0,00O
in road and bridge bonds. State and
local bonds in the sixteen Southern
states and $12,O00,0OO of state bonds
of the state of Maryland.

There is evidence that for months
Germany has had more than 100
agents in New York city alone. The
work of these men is carefully sys-

raised by fairs and bazaars arranged
ostensibly for the relief Of German

FACTS OF GERMAN
INTRIGUE STARTLING
KAISER SPENDS FUNDS LAVISH
LY TO PROMOTE CONSPIRACY
AGAINST UNITED STATES.

WASHINGTON. - Federal agents
daily are adding to the huge mass Of
evidence collected by the United
States government against Germany
and tending to prove the existence Of
a widely extended, deeply laid and
strongly financed plot to make troub-
lie for this nation.
Ever since the European war began
there has been a succession of court
cases against German sympathizers
on American soil, and a number of
individuals have been convicted for
violating American neutrality or at
tempting to destroy property destin-
ed for the entente allies. But since
diplomatic relations with Germany
were broken off the kaiser's govern
ment itself has been involved, and
ment itself has been involved, and
German Vaccinations have assumed
the proportions of a national menace.
Hundreds of Agents at Work.
1t is asserted that hundreds of paid
German agents are at work in various
parts of the United States fomenting
discord and actually planning for acts
of violence. Millions of dollars have
been spent in spreading German pro-
paganda. Information of German
activities leads to Cuba, Mexico, Co.
lOmbia, Peru and to other countries
of South America.
There are stories of secret wire
less stations, of the buying of prop
erty in places of strategic military
information, of secret submarine
bases, of the movement into Mexico
of thousands of German reservists
who have been living in this coun-
try. Some of these reports are doubt
less exaggerated, but a sufficient
number of them have been found true
to cause the government at Washing
ton to exert itself in an effort to
keep the situation in hand.
German Embassy Implicated.
The administration is said to pos
sess documents proving that Won
Bernstorff, Boy-Ed, Won Papen, Won
Igel and other members of the Ger
man embasy's staff actually distrib-
uted cash in payment of arson and
murder bills. Officials declare that
the German government, acting
through Won Bernstorff and his aides,
fostered, engineered and financed a
campaign of lawlessness. According
to the federal district attorney at
New York Wolff Won Igel, the indict-
ed Welland canal plotter, distribut-
ed, before he departed with Won
Bernstorff, at least 100000 to be
used for plot and propaganda pur-
poses.
1t is declared that the German gov
eminent has spent 100000 TO-
menting urderhanded activities in the
United States within the last few
months. The system is said to be
