GOVERNMENT PROGRAMME


 Mr. Aldrich stated that the manu- lecturers and business men must get together quickly and seriously get down to work, carrying out the gov ernment's programme.
 The zoning of the country, he said, was for the purpose of encouraging the business men in this territory to organize and bring about co-opera- tion with the government and to en- able them better to serve the govern ment in the war programme; to dis seminate information and to aid in converting all industries into essential establishments, and that the regional director and the advisory board were intended to help the manufacturer and the government by ascertaininE what is and can be made in each partic- ular locality, and the capacity of the plants; to gather and compile facts ana conditions affecting the industrial situation in the zone, and to furnish the government with a list of fac- tories their products and capacities.
 WAR INDUSTRIES
 This organization will be a part of the war industries board, he sad, and it will have important work to oo. He suggested that an executive board, consisting of one member from each state in the zone, to co operate with the zone director. and an advisory board for each state. composed of one representative from each civic organ ization in that particular state, be created. To finance the organization Mr. Aldrich suggested that an assess n,ent be levied against the manuf;.c-

WAR ROAD BUILDING POLICY
In Communication to Highway Off
clais, Secretary Houston Out
lines Government Plan.

Secretary Houston Of the depart
ment of agriculture in communion
ton to the American Association of
State Highway officials has set forth
sQuarely the policy which he thinks
should be followed in highway con-
struction during the war. Secretary
Houston says:
$50 far as 1t is practicable to do so.
this department will urge the mainten-
ance of the highways already con-
structed; the construction and COM
pletion of those highways which are
vitality important because of their bear
ing upon the war situation or for the
movement of commodities; the post
ponement of all highway construction
relatively less essential or not based
upon important military or economic
needs. The department is preparing
to suggest to the state highway depart
ments the preparation of a schedule
of work for the federal aid projects for
1918 In line with this policy"
In carrying out the policy thus an
nounced there has been sent out by
the Office of public roads of the de
partment of agriculture schedule forms
on which the states are requested to
set forth their proposed federal aid
work for the 1918 working season.
These schedules call for description
Of each road, the character, quantity
and rail haul Of the materials to be
used, the probable cost, the amount of
federal funds desired, the specific pur-
pose of the improvement, its bearing
upon the war situation, and what eff
feet delay of the work until 1919 or
later would have. With the informa-
ton thus assembled and classified, an
efficient road construction program Is
assured. While 1t is impossible to make
any definite statement regarding the
transportation of road materials, the
expectations are that the transporta-
ton situation will be improved and
that the shipment of such materials for
essential projects can be made.
Road construction and maintenance
in the United States involve an annual
expenditure of some $500, 100000, and
there Is scarcely section of the coun-
try that is not seriously affected by
marked disturbance in road work.

Just how early in life satisfaction
In pretty clothes dawns on the eternal
feminine mind, is one of those interest
ing questions that no one has taken
the trouble to get definitely answered.
But we know it is one of the earliest
of our joys and the most lasting, In
the picture above a little maid of five
seems to be discovering her party
frock. Life is one continual round of
more or less dainty clothes for her,
and she finds herself on a special oc-
casion in something more filmy and
frilly than she has noticed before.
This little party froek is made of
fine white net and trimmed with lit
tie narrow Val lace insertion and edg-
ing. The skirt is full, finished with
hem and tuck at the bottom, and
no other trimming. It Is set onto a
very short waist having many fine
tucl1s running from shoulder to waist
band and a fiOunce extending below
the waistband. This founce is finished
with row of Val insertion finished
with a seant frill of Val edging. The
square neck is finished in the same
way.
Little dresses of this kind are some
times decked out with gay ribbon ro-
settles, but they have been left off OF
this one perhaps this accounts for a
strand of small pearl beads that make
the little wearer very splendid. The
dress Is worn over a lace-trimmed pet
ticoat, with several rows of Val inser-
ton set in fine lawn skirt and a frill
of Val edging at the bottom. Now
that the requirements of flower girls
and other youthful attendants on the
June bride must soon be considered,
this little net froek is especially In
teresting. It can be worn over col

In Chicago a three weeks drive for
used clothing, to be sent to the desti-
tute Belgians, has Just been completed.
Mr.. Hoover, head of the Belgian relief
commission, engaged the help of the
Red Cross organization In making this
drive and it was put through with the
vigor and thoroughness that Chicago
develops when its 81 WHIP spirit is
aroused. Twenty-Five carloads of cloth
ing was the amount asked of this
branch of the drive and Mrs. Samuel
7. Chase was chosen to take charge of
its collection as chairman of the COM
mittee who put the drive through.
Besides the fact that the committee
got what it went after, this drive is In
teresting because of many incidents
which show where Americans of all
classes stand In this matter of caring
for the unfortunate and the destitute
In this war. The committee secured a
large downtown storerOom, which was
vacant and made newspaper and other
announcements inviting contributors
to bring their bundles Of used clothing
there. The bundles came by the auto
mobile load-where owners of cars con-
tributed them for collecting the cloth
ing-to the single package brought in
by people on their way to work who
deposited their contributions and went
on to their tasks. Everything from
fur coats and Paisley shawls to sun
bonnets of ancient vintage-came in re-
Spouse TO the call, but most Of the
clothing was practical and good.
On bright day man came in and
took off a very good oyercoat, reveal
Ing pair of overalls beneath-and
handed over the coat, remarking that
he could spare It, Another interesting
contributor was an old lady whose son
in the service had sent 50 to buy flow
ers for her for Easter. She contrib
uted these 50 to the Belgian relief as
the better way to use it, Men slipped
in and left contributions of money, re-
fns.ng to give their names.
70 sort and pack all the clothing
required many workers. Some of the
big department stores sent over help.

The following Is taken from paper
by B. a. Piepmeier, maintenance en-
gineer, highway department, state Of
Illinois. 1t touches a subject upon
which every layman who uses the pub
lie roads should inform himself:
MANY different types of roads
nave been condemned by the public
chiefly ON account of the lack of prop
er maintenance. The proper type Of
road may be selected by the engineer,
but If he has no means Of controlling
maintenance his choice may be con-
demned by the average layman.
Public sentiment is nodded largely
by the results that are evident to the
eye, regardless of the money actually
expended. 1t is not uncommon to

hear the layman say that certain
roads are very expensive and unsat-
isfactory. He often passes judgment
upon a road and condemns 1t without
any investigation of its cost or how
economical and satisfactory it might
be If properly maintained.
"The average road engineer is con-
fronted with the problem of educating
the public to an appreciation of the
principles of economy in road improve
ment as much as with technical mat
tiers, such as the selection of d type of
pavement and the method of properly
maintaining after construction"
