In the matter of wearing mourning for relatives who have given their lives for their country there are two opin- ions. One is that it is inadvisabIe to wear black because it depresses other people. We must not ask others to mourn with us, or even remind them l of mourning. The other is that q proper respect for the dead almost compels period of mourning apparel. 1t is matter which each one must think out for herself. The Red Cross has adopted a substitute for the usual mourning and the last bulletin of the central division has this to say:
 The American Red Cross will pro vide the mourning brassards to be worn by relatives of men who have given their lives to their country, ac- cording to an announcement made by the war council. These brassards. which are to be used in lieu of gen eral mourning, were suggested and de signed by the woman's committee of the council of national defense, the idea being heartily indorsed by Presi-
 
 woman's committee. They will be fur nished free to the parents or widows of men who have died in the service and at cost to other members of the fam fly.
 '"The brassard, which is to be worn on the left sleeve, midway between el- bow and shoulder, is a band of black broadcloth or other material three inches wide on the surface of which the regulation military star is em- broidered in gold thread. yhe num- Der of stars on brassard will denote the extent of the sacrifice made by each family.
 s'The brassards will be made and distributed by the chapters of the Red Cross working in conjunction with To- cal units of the womans committee of the council of national defense. An initial supply of materials for the manufacture of the mourning emblems has been purchased by the Red Cross and will be forwarded to the IA divi- sions of the organization for distribu- ton through their chapters. It is ex- peeted that the first of the brassards will be ready for distribution about the middle of September. A brief statement accompanying the announce ment says:

A closer inspection proved again how very effective absurdIy sim. pie things can be. Mercerized cotton did it. Chinese blue, orange, purple. green and black were used this way i: A simple oyer-and-over stitch made the binding, solid two inches of the circumference done in the blue. the next in purple, then green, then black . and so on all the way round the hat A pretty variation of this form of trim. ming would be to use a blanket stitch instead of the simpler over-an-oyer Then straight strands of the cotton might be wrapped round and round the crown to simulate band.

FEDERAL AID FOR HIGHWAYS
Under Terms of Act Secretary of Agri- culture May Deal With State
 Highway Department.

Much misunderstanding seems to prevail as to the means by which fed eral aid in road building under the federal aid road act of 1916 may be obtained, says a recent publication or the United States department of agrl- culture.
 Many county officials and private citizens" says the publication, "suo- init to the department of agriculture inquiries or applications looking to me obtaining of federal aid for local nlgh' way. To these inquiries and appnca' tions the answer is invariably maue that under the terms of the federal act itself the secretary of agriculture may deal only with the state highway department of roads.

Chennise Dress.

The chemise dress, if present indl- cations count for anything, has come to stay. These new ones for winter hang in severely straight lines from shoulder to hem, and they do not show she additional underskirt with which they were provided last season. Some of them are plaited in fine accordion plaits and others are provided with extra applied and floating panels at the sides of the skirts. As for the belts, they are mostly made of very thin strips of the material from which the gown is constructed, and they are tied loosely to confine the gown in some semblance of waistline.

Occasionally during the past summer ore ran across a turban, or small hat, with a long tulle scarf attached and this scarf was simply an elongation of q puffed drapery of tulle over crown ot flowers. Now that fall is here some one of those clever peopleswho think up our headwear was inspired with the happy idea of substituting velvet or veiyeteen or broadcloth for tulle-and we have a chic and youthful winter hat vita a cozy scarf attachment. It is a novelty and becoming. Moreover, the scarf is very practical, and we may see this combination developed in sev- eraI ways.
 The odd and pretty hat in the picture has narrow brim and side crown covered with sapphire blue and gray blocade in satin. The crown is puff of blue velvet and the scarf is of vel vet lined with satin. 1t is tackled to the brim at the right back and wraps about the throat, the ends falliAg-one to the back, over the shoulder. There are two small bead tassels on each end of the scarf.
 This coquettish model happens to be made of velvet with brocade, but broadcloth or duvetyn would suit even better for 1t. using either brocade or fur for the brim. It has something

 For the Fall Bride.

A gift which will remind the little bride who undertakes to furnish a home in wartime that Mir. Hoover has his eye on her, is a bread bag. It is made of sturdy cotton; an unbleached muslin would do well. Into it the scraps of bread left from the table are put and are kept comparatively fresh for use at the next meal or for bread buildings or bread crumbs The reason for the bag is that war bread seems to keep so much better when wrapped in a cloth than when left in the regu- lation box, where it is apt to mold if the box is close, or dry cut if the box is left open Embroider the word bread, or an outline of cut loaf on this bag if you are thinking of giving it to some little bride you know.

 that the chick has when it starts in life count for at least as much as good conditions and good care.
 Also, in growing stock for layers, it is especially important at this time when large increase in meat prod ucts is needed, to avoid breeding from undersized specimens. Whatever may be the facts as to the relative value of large and small hens as layers, as that question relates to standard breeds, the question is irrelevant in this farm poultry production campaign, for farm hens are nearly all small according to standards for improved breeds of fowls.
 The ordinary farm flock contains a large proportion of hens quite unfit for breeding no quality which it is desirable to reproduce. The eggs from these should not be used for matching, but, as far as possible, eggs used for matching should be from the best hens in the flock. To determine how many of these are needed, an es- innate must be made, passing it upon the usual hatchability of eggs, and the probable length of the matching sea. son.
 The ordinary average of hatches extending over period of several months is about 70 per cent. If all the chicks are matched early the length of the matching season is about six weeks, from the setting of the first to the setting of the last hen used. Allowing two weeks for saving eggs before the first hens are set, the eggs used for matching must be laid within eight weeks. Allowing for reflections of small and defective eggs, provision should be made for about 800. eggs in eight weeks. This means a flock of 10 to 20 hens as breeders. Such a number of the best of the flock should be separated from the rest.
 AS matter of convenience it will probably be more satisfactory in most cases to confne the culls and give the portion of the farm flock used for breeders the usual accommodations and range. The culls may be shut in small quarters without yard if neces- sary. while that is not advisable for breeding stock.
 The next thing to consider is the male. In many cases it will be to the advantage of farmers undertaking to increase and improve their hocks to buy standard males of general-purpose breeds because of the additional size and weight such males will give inc chicks, to say nothing of the probable increase in egg production. From one or two pounds extra weight can be put on the chicks from ordinary farm hens by using males of approximately standard weight of Rhode Island Reds ana Wyandottes, Plymouth Rocks and Orpingtons. s'

Repairing Highway in France.

this front Again, shortly after the battle of Verdun started, the French railroad which was to furnish many of the supplies to the troops was de. stroyed. The French government, how ever, had a maeadam road g feet wide on which four lines of traffic, two in either direction, were maintained Day and night 14000 motortrucks carried men and equipment.
 The traffic never stopped. When hole was made in the road, a man with a shoyelful of rock slipped in between the lines of trucks and threw the rock into the hole, then jumped aside to let the truck roll the rock down. Then an- other man would follow his example, and so on until the hole was filed Trucks that broke down were showed aside and repaired almost instantly. Had the French depended on their rail. road or on poor highways the Germans would have won the battle.
 There are few places ill which good roads will win great military victories But there are many places in which they will win great victories in time of reace. Whenever q crisis-militaTy, economic or social-occurs in the life of q community, the condition of the road is a significant factor in deter mining whether the community will go up or down, forward or backward The community with good roads is the com. nunity that will deliver the goods when the necessity comes.

President Wilson delights in sur prise parties. From the time he be- came president he has taken occasion to surprise people in different ways ]; to surprise senators and representa- tives by visits to the capitol; to sur prise officials in the departments by dropping in on them unexpectedly. Of course the greatest surprise was when he decided to deliver his messages in person to congress. His most recent surprise was upon the senate of the United States, and that. indeed was a very great surprise. For the presi- dent to go to the senate and in a speech directly urge them to vote for a constitutional amendment was some thing entirely out of the ordinary i; something which never happened be- fore in the history of the government. One reason why the senate was taken by surprise was because congress has been of the opinion that the amending of the Constitution was wholly a leg islative function; that this was one act in which the concurrence of the executive was not required and which rested wholly with congress. There fore, there was great deal of com ment in and about the senate upon the surprise which tne president sprang upon that body fy going to them and urging them to vote for wom- aE suffrage Naturally the public comment was very guarded and not very critical, but what senators said In private indicated plainly that they thought the president had taken a very bold course.

QUALITY IS OF IMPORTANCE
American Standard Breeds Are Good Producers of Meat and Eggs
 Farm Hens Are Small.

 Agriculture.)
 Inasmuch as most farms have al- ready some supply of poultry the problem for the farmer is one of in- crease and not, like that of the city dweller who undertakes to keep hens to supply his own table with eggs, one of securing the foundation stock. While the American standard breeds are. for general purposes, the best, it is not urged that they be made to supplant other breeds where the oth- CT breeds are established and where they can be produced with a fair de- gree of success and of profit. The American standard breeds, broadly speaking, are the larger breeds of general-purpose fowl, good producers of both meat and eggs, as distinguished from the small breeds that are spe- cialized egg producers. Farmers and farmers wives who have built up their own flocks, and know the peculiari- ties of their breed and how to make the most of them will do best by keeping the hens that they have, even though they be small and inferior as meat producers, instead of trying to replace them with heavier ones.

 An observing newspaper man who has recently had an opportunity to take q trip throughout tie country dis tricts finds that the people are talk ing about winning the war and are more interested in the Liberty loan and the success of the American troops than they are in anything else An experienced politician who has been a member of the horse and gov e1nor of his state, and is nGw Unit ed States senator, once made the sage remark that the American people set tied only one thing at a time And the one thing which the American peo- pie now are settling is the German autocracy. That Is wnat they are thinking about in the cities and in the towns and throughout the farming districts. Almost without exception everybody is engaged in an earnest effort to do what he can to win the war
 Naturally there Is not any time for politics. Most of the people do not believe that it makes any difference whether there Is a Republican or Dem ocratic house of representatives. The men of both parties have been praised on all sides for what they have done to aid the president in carrying on the war and it is no doubt a fact that whichever party Is in power, the same strong support will be accorded the until success is achieved.

SUFFRAGE ACTION EXPLAINED
That Proposition and Prohibition Bring to Fore Question Whether Legislator Should Vote Only According to His Own Views.
By ARTHUR ". DUNN.

ashington.-Pre Wilson, like Theodore Roosevelt, relies upon the people for support. It was Roosevelt's policy, when he wanted to put a-.S- thing through congress and was met with an adverse majority, or opposi- ton among the leaders which was able to defeat what he wanted, to place the whole matter before the people in such WAY as to bring the pressure of pub He opinion upon congress and force it to act. No other presidents have ever used the power of public opinion to secure action with the same effective ness as Roosevelt and Wilson. Neither Cleveland Harrison, Mckinley nor Taft ever put into operation the pow CT of publicity and pressure from the people as have Roosevelt and Wilson. In regard to legislation which he deems of great importance and where there IS intense opposition, the president al- ways appeals to the people. Before the United States entered the war he even went so far as to make a tour of the country and urge the necessity of

One of President Wilson's closest friends in the United States senate explained his appearance be- fore the senate on the suffrage ques- ton by saying that favorable results were expected after the people had been heard from. He said that wheth- CT senators would change or not de- pended upon the telegrams they would get from home after the people had read the presidents address urging the adoption of the suffrage amendment.

An important point was raised in the debate on woman suffrage, which has not received much attention, but 1t is known that 1t has been the source of deep consideration in the Southern states. It is In re- gard to the status of the negro when this war is over and when the negro soldiers return to the United States. The point was raised in the senate by two Southern senators, Hardwick of Georgia and Vardaman of Mississippi, both of whom have been defeated for renomination. Both were somewhat aIarmsts on the subject. Hardwick said:
 "Fhe South is going to have heavier white mans burden to carry than 1t ever had in that period of re construction which followed the Civil war. That may sound like a strong statement to senators who do not live in the South and who may not under stand the situation"
 He then went on to explain what had happened in the South in the way of revising the electoral franchise, which was done for the purpose of keeping the negro from voting. In state constitutions, in order to allow white men who could not pass educa- tional tests to vote, provisions were made that soldiers and the descend ants of soldiers could vote. Hardwick went on to explain:
 ] xf~a TNOex N,a have drafted impartially from the male population of the South, and if the war lasts long we will draft hun dreds of thousands and 1t may be million or more negroes of voting age in the South, who will go into the service of the country under the Stars and Stripes and to France. When they come back, under our own state constitutions, the only ones we could write under the Constitution of the United States they come back as fully enfranchised as any white voter in any one of the states. and they come back exempt from the educa- tional tests and the property tests of the states of the South"
 Vardaman. although supporting woman suffrage, said there was force in the objection which the Southern men made that It would be more diff ficult to get along with the negro wom- an than the negro man. But referring to the other phase of the situation, in regard to what will happen after the war, he said: This war Is going to intensity the difficulties which must be met at first by the Southern white people. The arrogance and impudence of the negro ex-soldier will enhance the white mans burden"
 While these are the only utterances made publicly. there has been a great deal of discussion among men in the South and considerable apprehension expressed about what will happen in relation to the negroes when these sol diers return from the war. However. that will be only one of the many problems which the war will place be- fore the American people.
