Road Problems Discussed.

The first essential feature of an
road is adequate drainage
and another prime requirement,
wherever hard sufaced road is to
be constructed, is a firm foundation.

Foundation for County Roads," just
issued as a professional paper by

CODDLING THE Stacker

Some grotesque things are hap

mobilization of American soldiers
Take an everyday occurrence at
Camp Funsten as an instance.
The loyal soldier who has fought
in France must buy his own civilian
clothing when he comes out of the
army. He can keep his uniform for
a few months if he desires, but most
men want to get back into a civil
ian outfit. SO he is discharged with
out his old time clothing allowance
and spends what he has saved with
the clothier.
At Camp Funsten they have

jectors," and mingled with these are
others parading themselves as 1W.

plain disloyaltists. Be it remem-
bered that the honest conscientious

camps.
These beings were drafted into

they wouldn't wear a uniform, they
wouldn't bathe and their unclean-
illness was nauseating. They We're

Nevertheless, when these gentry
are discharged from the army they

underwear, shirt, collar, gloves, and
even a necktie.
They have been drawing their $50

Da Vinci Thought Of Tank.

Italy has just celebrated the fourth
centenary of Leonardo da Vincfs
death. His name has been often men,
toned during the war and his prophet
ic genius recalled. IT is known that
he intended to build airplanes for war
purposes, but 1t Is now claimed also
that he was the first to think Of the
tank. In his letters to II Moro he
speaks of armored cars which could
shelter the occupants and drive right
amongst the enemy's masses, Staying
and SCATTERING all opposition. 1t is
unfortunate that more Is not known
of Leonardos intentions, and of the
way in which he proposed to propel his
craft Horses might possibly have
been intended. for II n horse could
carry less weight than the armOred
motor, protection In those days was
more easily got than now. But 1t Is
certainly very singular to read that his
cars were to charge ahead while the
infantry would follow behind-fOr this
is exactly what happened four hundred
years after his death.

INDIAN THIEF HAD INGENUITY
Which Piegan Escaped With His
Booty of Stolen Ponies.

Among the many interesting stories
told by members of the Canadian
mounted police is one that has to do
! with the cleverness of an Indian.
One snowy morning a band of Crees
awoke to find that about a dozen Of
night A band to go in pursuit was
Immediately organized, and in the
course of an hour the trail was struck.
The band followed it for thirty miles
or more, till it entered a river and
headed for a little wooded island.
Smoke was rising from the trees. and
an opening. apparently the mouth OF
cave, was in plain view. Presently
a Piegan Indian showed himself In
front of the opening. At his heels was
dog.
Pretty soon the dog scented the
Crees. who were lying low, and began
growing and barking. The Piegan look
ed up, glanced about him for moment
and then instantly entered the cave.
II. about ten seconds, another Piegan

in; then another, and another and an
other. The Crees lay silently in the
bushes, counting, till upward of fifty
Piegans had come round the rocks and
gone into the cave. and still they kept
coming. Each carried rifle.
When at last seventy men had disap-
peared in the cave, the superstitiOus
and cautious Crees concluded that the
evil spirit had something to do with
1t. So thoroughly were they filed with
this idea that even when REINFORCE
ments came, which was in q few hours,
they were reluctant to attack the
island.
That night. however, one Cree, less
CT edulOus than the others, crossed over
the ice to investigate. On approach
ing the supposed cave, he found that
1t was no cave at all, but simply an
opening leading some ten feet into the
rock, where 1t made a turn and came
out on the other side.
There was the remnant Of single
camp fire, the ponies were gone and
not an Indian was in sight. The in
genious Piegan thief, by making the
circuit of the passage, and the end OF
the island seventy times, had so de-
ceived his pursuers as to gain the
time necessary for his escape.

A frock of unusual charm, and one

bon. Around the very low-cut neck
line falls Il bit Of fine white lace shad-

on the very short sleeves. The lace

white georgette crepe that had full
black lace tunic gathered at the bot
tom to white crepe foundation skirt
and wired so as to appear like cage.
Sleeves of lace dresses may be short
and tight, or three-quarter length and
| flowing. Necks, whether cut high or
low in the back, are always open at
the throat.
With these dresses are worn large
black hats of malines, horsehair or
lace trimmed with jet, the jet being
used to outline the pattern Of the lace
rather than as decided trimming
feature. Gloves may be worn with
these short sleeved gowns, but Paris
says it is smarter to be gloveless.
Evening slippers are of satin or sill
yer cloth, either plain or brocaded;
gold cloth slippers are seen no more.
Gowns of metal brOcade usually have
slippers made to match. Many of the
new slippers have the large rhine
stone buckles which are so becoming
to slender feet. Tiny bronze buckles
are smart on black slippers.
French Adopt Our Colonial Ideas.
The Colonial lines are featured ex-
tensively in the new slippers, even in
those worn by Parisiennes. 1t seems
strange that the French should adopt
Colonial ideas in their new footwear,
but this is just what they are doing.
Even satin slippers are made after this
fashion. Some Of the new French
slippers have straps across the ankles,
but this style does not appeal to us.
Three years ago Callot made much
of the smOck as blouse, but it was
not at that time taken up by American
buyers. Now the casaQue blouse is
seen everywhere. 1t is worn even in
sport things, and the old-time blouse
that we tucked inside our skirts Is dis
appearing over the horizon Of fashion.
These warehouses, sashed loosely
either with their own material or with
narrow mOire ribbons In colors that
give an opportunity to introduce
charming color effects into our cos
tumery, are especially desirable for
the uncOrseted but somewhat mature
figure, because they conceal the waist
line, which, If defined, invariably
makes women look older.
