An Augusta friend writes the Jour-

now and then come all sorts of in
teresting curios and none are more
attractive than the little dolls called
Kinette and Dintintin. named from
one of Paquin's midinettes and her
lover. Everyone in France is wear
ing the new little dangling mascots
supposed to keep the wearers from
gothas, berthas and the like. Their
gaiety is a strange contrast to our
serious frame of mind. They are
made of colored silk and wooden
threads held together by a cord and
are worn on cane, umbrella or pocket

that of the goodluck four-leaved clo-
vel and miniature elephant. Many
a French maid neglects her knitting
to make these little couples as a
talisman for her sutors."

MILITARY HIGHWAYS.

The value of a system of hard sur
face highways in defense against in
vasion has been abundantly demon
stratcd by the war. France was
saved by her system, Russia beaten
for lack of one.
The excellence Of the French high
turies this system has been adjusted
to both commercial and military
needs. 1t comprises 371 900 miles of
completed macadam road with sec
ondary system Of 107, 900 miles of
graded earth roads. Over these
roads motor trucks carried the army
that stopped the first great German
drive on Paris Russia had no ade-
quate road system on her exposed
frontier. She put her trust in the
lack of roads to keep the enmey out,
and the result is history.
For three years Germany has been
battering at the French Flanders line,
unable to break it, partly because be-
hind it run these fine French roads
from which the fighting line is fed
promptly and adequately. During
the three months Of Verdun, on fif-
ty-mile stretch of this highway be-
hind the firing line, an average of five
thousand trucks every twenty-four
hours, two abreast each way, formed
continuous procession. Though
both railways entering Verdun were
dominated by the German fire, this
highway permitted all the necessary
Transportation.
Bills providing for a compfehen-
sive system of military highways for
the United States were introduced at
the last session of Congress, and will
probably come up at the present ses-
sion. The plan calls for country
wide system with highway around
the entire country. Such highway
would run far enough inland to be
safe from attack, and all points Of
coast defense would be coupled with
it by connecting roads. The West
Coast is already developing such a
marginal road in the Pacific High
way.
Such highway parallelinp the
Mexican border, would soon pay for
construction and maintenance in the
reduction of the border patrol The
lack of such a means for concentrat-
ing forces was keenly felt during the
recent border troubles.

CALL KANSAS FARM WOMEN
A Statewide Conference VIII be Held
in Topeka on January IL to
Organize Them.

A call for a statewide conference
of the farm women of Kansas has been
issued by Mrs. Theodore Saxon, one
of the best known farm women of
Shawnee county. The conference is
to be held January IL in Topeka, fol.
lowing the annual meeting of the state
board of agriculture. The women plan
to hold general session in the morn
ing, provide a round table luncheon
for the discussion of special problems
and another general conference in the
afternoon. The objects of the meet
ing as outlined in the call are:
To interchange ideas and promote
cooperation among women engaged in
farming or bearing the direct manage
ment of farms.
To increase the knowledge and use
of existing agricultural educational in
stitutions.
To help to bring together supply and
demand, or producer and consumer
To help solve the agricultural prob
lens before the Nation.
To cooperate with organizations
enlisting women for farm work.
To advise women who wish to make
a profession of agriculture and horti-
culture.
To show how inexperienced women
may become farmers and suggesting
necessary education and apprentice
ship.
To advise as to buying farms, capi-
tai necessary, selecting the farm, test
ing of soil, water supply, markets and
rental contracts.
To organize permanent association
of women farmers of the state.
There are a large number Of farm
women in Kansas. This does not
mean the wives of farmers, but the
women who are actually and actively
managing their own farms. Some are
farming from choice, while others
were left with farms on their hands
at the death of husband. There will
be many more women farm managers
as the result of the taking of many
men from the farms for army service,
leaving the wife or mother to manage
the farm. There are fifteen women
farmers who are actually managing
their properties in Shawnee county.

1t is only reasonable to suppose that
,vcry woman has done something to
contribute to the comfort and good
cheer of our soldiers at Christmas
time, and is prepared to return to the
routine duties which she has taken
up for them. Persistence in the work
of making and furnishing supplies for
the Red Cross spells success in the
women's efforts. 1t is inspiring to see
the businesslike way in which the
work of units all over the country Is
being handled. In nearly all communi-
ties reliable volunteer workers, women
of church societies, clubs and other or
ganlzations, report for work at their
Red Cross headquarters for certain
definite periods each week. Even ut
some inconvenience TO themselves
these women agree upon certain days.
or certain hours, when they will report
Mt the workrooms provided for Red
Cross work, and do whatever has been
assigned to them. Some women are
able to give two or three days In the
week, others only one, and business
women sometimes give generously Of
their little leisure In the evenings. 1t
Is by this maintenance of effort, week
In and out, that women are making n
new record for themselves, and a
friendly rivalry between clubs or
church societies stimulates the work
