BUILDING PUT ON WAR BASIS
How the Federal Aid Road Is Admin

Result-AnnuaI Expenditure
of $3oo,oo0,ooo Involved.

That is the policy which David f.
Houston, secretary of agriculture, be-
lieves should be followed in highway
construction during the war. 1t means
that road building in the United States
will be put on a var basis; that the
highway which is vitality important
from q military standpoint and for the
movement of commodities will receive
priority of consideration in projecting
programs of construction.
In carrying out the policy thus an
nounced there has been sent out by the
office of public roads of the depart
ment 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 a description of
each road, the character. quantity and
rail haul of the materials to be used,
the probable cost, the amount of fed
eral funds desired, the specific purpose
of the improvement, its bearing upon
the war situation, and what effect a
delay of the work until 1919 or later
WOUlU nave. WlJu the lulOTL1dLlOu
thus assembled and classified, an eff
cient road-construction program is as
sured. While it is impossible to make
any definite statement regarding the
transportation Of road materials, the
expectations are that the t~ransporta-
ton situation will be improved and
that the shipment of such materials
for essential projects can be made.
Expenditure of $3oo,ooo,oo0.
Road construction and maintenance
in the United States involve an annual
expenditure of some $300,O00,000, and
there is scarcely a section of the coun-
try that is not seriously affected by a
marked disturbance in road work.
In the administration of the federal
aid road act of July II, 1916, which
provides for cooperation between the
federal government and the states in
the construction of rural post roads
and of roads and trails within and
partly within the national forests,
very satisfactory progress has been
made by the department of agricul-
ture, according to a recent report of
Secretary Houston. The Office of pub
lie roads and rural engineering, which
is intrusted with the burden of admin

SATIN is A SMART MATERIAL
Long Coats and Dresses of Favorite
Goods Are Quite the Style
in French Capital.

In spite of the war Paris remains the
center of the fashion world and what
ever is worn in the French capital be-
comes at once desirable on this side of
the Atlantic, notes IN authority.
Therefore when we hear that satin is
holding sway as the smartest of smart
materials we naturally look upon this
material with pronounced favor.
In Paris little else but satin is seen
for afternoon veal. Trimmed with
fur, or else with patterned quilting,
long satin coats are the rage, and
satin dresses under them are just as
much in favor. Velvet has a certain
vogue which may increase for dresses,
but it is more in favor for evening
yea Black and white are always in
fashion, treated very simply; satin
with a deep collar that lies fiat or
closes to the throat in white or gray ;
velours de laine, trimmed with bone
buttons and ivory white collar, or else
gray fur; these are smart combina-

4 MiIIiner's Knack.

To fasten on a hat ornament, so
that it will be firm, but not rigid, try
this plan: hold or pin the flower or
feather in position. Then bring the
needle threaded with linen or other
strong thread up through the hat from
the underside close beside the stem Of
the ornament. Leave the knotted end
with four or five inches of thread on
the underside. Put the needle down
through the hat close to the other side
Of the stem. Do this three or -four
times, even going through the stems if
they are clustered and heavy. Then
put the needle through to the under
side of the hat and tie the ends Of the
thread.

arbitrary powers, government manage
ment of railroads, and the steady and
swift approach Of prohibition? Take
the very question Of woman's apparel.
The limitation of yardage was a vol
untary measure, adopted by all con-
cerned, before the government had
made n move toward the industry.
1t was q beau geste, as the French say,
freely made by the leaders Of the
great interests connected with wom-
ems clothes.
So with that much settled, we pass
to the condition of the sartorial out
look for spring, with quiet minds. 1t
is an attractive one, in which individ-
ual good taste, and good judgment,
will have full play, within the limits
of four and one-half yards of material.
Dressmakers have acknowledged al
ready that this suggestion of limita-
ton, this difficulty, has spurred their
invention. 1t is like the rules Of a
game, which are necessary to insure
a good contest. Never has a study of
ones individual type been lore profit
able than at present. There are styles
to suit all figures, all faces, and all in
comes. If a woman likes Oriental eff
fects, turned-under skirts, straight
armless coats and sashes, she will find
them, as she may in the sketch shown.
If she prefers the Occidental, she may
choose the frock of gray silk, with an
embroidered cape and tunic of chiffon
and keep the sash, weighing it with
a bright pink rose. She may fold q
length of brocade around her and hang
her arms and neck with strands of
jewels. She may swath a satin frock
in clouds of tulle she may cut it plain
ly Of crisp taffeta. She will find in
dorsement for any fancy among the
products Of the biggest names in the
world Of dressmakers.
Study Ones Type Is Spring Slogan.
"Study your type" is a more impor.
tant slogan than ever, fl cannot be
said that any definite clothes guide
post has been erected for our guidance
along one definite road. Rather there
is a series of delightful paths, each
n tending in the same general direc.
ton, but each with endearing charac.
teristics Of its own. They merely wind
through the same sort of country. A
woman with any idea at all of what
suits her, will surely prefer this to the
single monotonous highway, common
to everybody. These variations are
shared by all phases Of dress. They

STATES SPEED OP-
GRAFTON OF FEDERAL
AID ROAD ACT.

Probably the most significant
result thus far of the operation
of the federal aid road act has
been the enactment by a num-
Der of state legislatures Of effec-
tive road laws. Legislative ac-
ton in some states was neces-
sary to meet the requirements
of the federal act, but many Of
the states have gone further
and have recast their highway
policies. All the states have as
sented to the provisions of the
act-42 by their legislatures
and six by their governors.
Thirty-three had a highway de-
partment within the meaning of
the act upon the date of it's ap-
proval; the remaining Is have
since enacted legislation Great
ing highway departments which
comply with the terms of the
law. The highway departments
in IS states have been greatly
strengthened, specific appropria-
tons to meet the federal funds
have been made by ten, and
comprehensive maintenance leg
islation has been enacted in
nine states. Forty-two states
now have satisfactory mainten-
ance laws. Nearly all the states
have submitted definite schemes
or programs Of work for the en-
, tire ive-year period covered by
the act, or for the greater por-
!. ton of it. The formulation of
. carefully prepared plans for the
; full period in advance of con-
. struction tends to prevent waste

So far as it is practicable to
do so, this department will urge
the maintenance of the high
ways already constructed; the
construction and completion of
those highways which are vital
~ important because of their
bearing upon the war situation

all highway construction rela-
lively less essential or not based
