Bridget Had Little Trouble In Explain

on Her Hubby.

Bridget was before the magistrate
upon the charge Of beating her hus-
band, who stood near the desk with
his head bound up in a mass OF band
ages and surrounded by an odorous
cloud OF iodine, indicating that he had
undergone extensive treatment at the
hospital. The magistrate called the
wife 10 the bar of justice.
"Now, madam" he said. "can you
explain 10 me why you struck your
husband over the head with the
poker?"
Bridget laid her hand on the bar
and leaning far over so she could Inn
press her answer upon the attentive
officer of the law, replied:
"Shure, l hit him with the poker,

ARRANGING THAT NEW COLLAR
Piece Regarded as One of the Prettiest
Decorations of the Present
Season.

Those new collars that are really
long bias strips of fabric, made double,
are perhaps one of the prettiest bits
of neck accessory that we have had
this season. They are really new, and
they possess therefore the charm that
always attaches itself to novelty.
Moreover, they are in themselves at
tractive They lend themselves to all
sorts of graceful arrangement, and
they give q soft and becoming line at
the neck, no matter how they are ar
ranged.
To begin with, they are made in the
form of a double bias strip, from six
to eight inches wide, and perhaps a
yard or q yard and quarter long.
They are the simplest things in the
world TO make, FOR the double width OF
fabric is just sewed up, like an en-
velope, then turned right side out, the
end left open is blind stitched shut,
and the whole thing is pressed.
But in spite Of the fact that these
new collars are so easy 10 make, they
are we'll worth buying ready made, for
they are sold in the shops reasonably
in the most attractive fabrics.
These new collars may be worn in
many ways. OF course the most usual
way is to bring it around the neck,
rolled over softly and tie it in a four
finland or loose knot at the end of the
V-Shaped line of the blouse in front. In
this way these collars are worn on
frocks of serge and foulard. Some
times, too, the ends are tied like a
windsor tie in bow, with two loops
and two ends.
Sometimes little bias fold of net Is
stitched along one side of the center
of the collar, and by means of this net
the collar is basted into position. 9th
erwise il is best TO pin il securely al
the back with little silver cuff pin.
These collars are made in satin, or
candle. geOrgette crepe. crepe de chine
and chiffon. They are made in every
color imaginable. as well as in white
and they are even made in little
checks. Some of them in foulard show
all sorts of designs, although the best
foulard ones are dotted. Then there
are others of black and white checks
in rather big design, but one thai
is very effective. nevertheless, either

House of Lords Dies Hard.

1t is now about sixty years since
Thomas Darlington Macaulay wrote
again and again that the house Of
lords seemed TO be on It's last legs. He
used a longer and more diGnifed
phrase, but that is its substance when
translated into the vernacular. APP
parently his conviction then was as
strong as that of any OF those who
now hope for the abolition OF the
lords To be sure. the circumstances
have changed greatly, but the lords die
so hard that this little historical rem
iniscence is not without its value now
that the same cry is heard again and
when some think the contamination
near at hand.

GOOD ROADS IN NEW ZEALAND
Concrete Declared Mort Satisfactory
in Land of Heavy Rains-cheaper
In Long Run.

The New Zealand authorities, both
local and national, are carefully study
Ing the subject of good roads, reallz-
ing that this is the best way to open
up the %hinterland of the dominion. The
roads of the country, in the main, are
not in very good condition. There are
some good stone roads, about the larg-
err centers, but few of them extend out
more than % or 80 miles. Their up
keep has been found very expensive,
especially in the northern part of the
country, since the rainfall is heavy
and washouts are numerous because
the stone used is soft and grinds up
rapidly, the Scientific American states.
Of late much has been said in re-
gard to the construction Of concrete
highways, and it is thought that this
will be far cheaper in the long u
than the stone roads as they are now
constructed, for the. reason that the
upkeep will be so very greatly reduced.
It is estimated that a mile of 12-foot
concrete road four inches thick could
be built in New Zealand for $1,000
more than a mile of ordinary stone
road, on which there would be q saving
in upkeep for the first five years of at
least $1,000, while at the end Of ten
years there would be q saving Of ST.
600 or $4,000.

PLAN AIR TRAFFIC
Lord Montagu Predicts Time When
Graft Will Travel on a Seriss
of Flying Levels.

In a recent address before the
Aeronautical society in London upon
the development of aviation after
the war, Lord Montagu of Beaulieu
painted an imaginative picture of
the possibilities of air traffic in the
near future. He predicted a time
when the traveller from London will
save II days in the journey to India
and 2S days to Australia when air
planes will cover a regular average
of 1900 miles a day and when traf-
fc will be regulated in a series of
air levels of 1000 feet each-pri-
waite planes up to 1000 feet; COM
mercial machines in the next level;
Ordinary flying" together with the
fast commercial machines, in the
next; then the official planes Of each
nation (from 5000 to 10000 feet),
including those of the air police, who
will drop down on offenders in the
lower depths; and finally the levels
above 10000 feet, which will be used
for international travel.
Lord Montagu believes that there
will be such a tremendous increase
of air travel at the close of the war
that it is already time to consider
how routes shall be defined and kept,
and how the best use can be made
of our present knowledge of the air
currents of the world. Such a pic
ture as Lord Montagu paints may
seem very unreal, says the Youths
Companion, but those who have seen
the birth of the locomotive, the ma
rine steam engine, the electric tele-
graph, the telephone, the submarine
cable, the motorcar and wireless
telegraphy and telephony will not
be incredulous. The internal COM
bustion engine, with its light weight
and high speed, was the beginning
of an evolution the ultimate char
acter of which it is impossible to
foresee.
