URGES LARGE USE

Councils of Defense and A. A.
A. Work Together on
Traffic Problem.

Through the highways transport
committee. the council Of national
defense has approved the widest
possible use OF the motor truck as
transportation agency" and further
more requests the state councils Of
defense and other state authorities
20 take all necessary steps 10 facili-
tate such means OF transportation,
removing any regulations that tend
10 restrict and discourage such use"
IL the war Is 10 continue for any
length Of time, motor truck trans
portation must he largely extended
and increased. as IL has been dem
Onstrated that in the matter OF
transportation there are limitations
beyond which the railroads cannot
go" comments Dr. H. NJ. Rowe,
president Of the American Automo-
bile association.
This cannot avail unless there
are built between the principal man
ufacturing and shipping centers sub
stantial highways which permit the
employment of motor trucks. The
time in which this work ought 10 be
done is right now. If the construc-
ton is not within the financial ca
pacity of the states through which
these highways pass. then it should
be done by national funds. In my
opinion, the Chamberlain Dent bill
should be passed by congress. as il
would give needed authority and
money to the secretary of war. who
could then designate certain roads
TO which federal attention could be
given.
In some Of the state legislatures
now in session misdirected efforts
are being made to establish prohibi-
tive taxes on trucks. Whatever
sums are sufficient TO strengthen our
highways as TO carrying the heavi-
est military loads safely and with
out serious destruction to the roads

AS the Sunday is of clear crystal
glass. none Of the light is wasted by
absorption as il passes through the
lens. Ninety per cent OF light is di-

fused close TO the car. making driv-

popularity of the selective sliding

it been driven out by the selective

If the teeth happened TO be in line
or the gears spinning rapidly it
would be difficult to pass through
them. With the selective type one
can go from any speed to any other

brush which takes the current
from the collector ring to the

do this. but the engine cannot

When Miss America goes canoeing she takes it for granted that she may have to swim as we'll as paddle. It's a fOregone conclusion that all well-regu- lated canoes turn turtle occasionally, and this lends spice to the sport and to the clothes worn for 1t. Here is a one-piece dress for fair canoeist, made of black and white silk in a snappy design, that is enough to lure an: amateur into the most treacherous of crafts. It is not regulation swim ming suit, but canoes are not SUD- posed to venture into dangerous wa ters and 1t will answer for swimming If swim she must.
 It is made with bodice with short sleeves cut in one with it, joined to a wide bifurcated skirt much like bloom CTS. It opens at the left front to a point a little below the waistline and fastens with snap fasteners. Narrow black silk braid is used for binding the sleeves and belt and finishes the neck opening, where 1t disports itself in small square. at the back and front, merely for the sake of orna- sment. It is applied to each side of the skirt in the same way, with the squares larger.

RELIEF NEAR FOR
 SUGAR SHORTAGE IN PINE BLUFF
Food Administrator Hollis Says Carload Is Due
 Here Today.

The sugar shortage. which has pre- vailed in Pine Bluff for several days, will be relieved today by the arrival Of carload of sugar from New Or leans, according to statement issued last night by Food Administrator VI. C. Hollis. which follows:
 The temporary shortage of sugar on this market will be relieved in a short time. A carload of sugar was shipped out of new orleans on the 18th inst. and should be here now Every effort is being made to trace the car to it's destination and no doubt it will bo here today or Mon day morning.
 ''rhe government has ordered all sugar refiners and shippers not to ship any sugar to the North until the canning and preserving situation in the South is cared for.
 "fhe government advises that we have an abundance of sugar on the wharves of Cuba but just now we are using every available ship to transport men and material to Eu- rope; therefore the present shortage is due to the lack of transportation facilities.
 "All of our jobbers here have gov ernment certificates authorizing them to buy sugar and they have their or ders placed with the shippers.
 "Everything is being done by all agencies that can be done to supply the demand.
 'The railroads are using all rolling stock to transport our soldiers and supplies. Consequently it is diff cult for shippers to get cars in which to make shipments.
 'The government encourages home cannng and preserving and is doing everything possible to supply the nec- essary sugar. The present war scare ity will be relieved shortly and in the meantime let's be patient Nnd trust our government in all crises fo deal justly for victory"

Why should children prefer to write on immaculate wallis rather than on writing paper? Because, first. their mothers caution them not to do 1t. and. second, because theswalls are winter and the writing looks better on them than 1t does on paper. But the time has come when the mother need fear for the white nursery walls no longer. They can indeed, be changed from a source of irritation to education al purposes by means of a finish which makes them washable.H In other words all pencil, crayon and pen marks may be washed away. Consequently, the wall surface ., is as good place for drawing pictures fors making examples as a blackboard. Although 'theSfnish is intended primarily flor the walls of the nursery, 1t may be used in the kitchen.r living room or other part of the house where children are wont to try out artistic ability on the walls. The finish may be in any one of . number of different shades.
