WOULD BUILD 200 MILES OF
MODEL ROADS IN PARISH

A proposition is under consideration
for the building Of 200 miles of model
roads in Blenvllle Parish. which would
he sufficient to connect every town in
the parish.
At first thought one would think this
a huge undertaking. and in fact it
would be. But 1t can be done with
out any special hardship or sacrifice
to any one. In fact a four mill special
road tax to run for a period Of thirty
years added to the State and retlerp
Road Building fund to which We woul(
be entitled would he sufficient to buil{
200 miles Of the very best grade O
model roads and to maintain them.
A careful survey of a Bienville par
ish map will show that 200 miles of
road will cover the distances between
every town in the parish, and viii
serve every community. Or in other
words. a road could he built parallel
20 the Y. s. 4 p. railroad from the
Lincoln to the Webster parish line :
and from Arcadia to Mt Olive church.

able property in Bicnville Parish, for
4 period OF thirty years would civ,
81, 20O,M00O for road building, Add
to this an equal amount to be supplied
by the State ami Federal Road appro
priations, and We hare $a.4O0,0OO.0O
with which to build and maintain the
roads. Figuring 100000 per mile for
building purposes, we have left out of
this amount $1,O0O.0OO.OO maintenance
and for interest. In order to obtai
funds for immedMte construction
work it would be necessary to float
serial bonds to the amount Of, say
81 ,oOo.0O0Oo. one series TO become due
each year, and let the tax pay off the
bonds as they became due each year
together with the interest. This with
the State and Federal appropriation
would make immediate construction
possible.
In order to obtain the State an
Federal aid. it would he necessary tc
place a building program in the hands
OF the State road engineer. who would
have the roads surveyed, and who
would let tho contracts and supervis
the construction, aud see that every
contractor fulfilled every specification
OF his contract.
Such a system of model road,
throughout Bienville Parish would a1,l
millions to the value Of tho propert,
owned by our citizens, and the ia,
would be required to build them would
not l,e hurdensome. In those districts
which now have special road taxes
these could be cancelled.
NO doubt the proposition will he suh.

THE ETERNAL SKIRT QUESTION
Hobble Affairs Are Declined by Many,
Yet Majority Follow FASH
ions DEGREES.

The question of skirt width is a
problem that looms large on the hori-
zon of the fashion world Just now.
Straight line effects have held SWAY
Tor many seasons, and this season
garments rather reached the limit of
straightness by reason of the decree
that popularized the very narrow
skirt. Coming as it did immediately
on the basis of period of unheard-of
activity among women, due to the de-
mand for their service in all sorts of
war work, the vogue for ultra narrow
skirts attracted more attention than
1t ordinarily would, and many women
have firmly declined to accent the
mobile affairs. However, the ma jority
OF women follow fashions DEGREES
whether they really like them or not
and skirts not more than yard in
width are everyday sights on the
streets of most cities.
A foreword from Paris Announces
that very full skirts are looming mn
there, and there is a very strong indi-
cation that when fall styles put in
their appearance tie little, tight-skirt.
ed aifalrs of the present season will
serve merely as TO ndatioDs IL any re-
modelling is to be cone.

CREPE De CHINE FROM JAPAN
Italy and France Also Produce the
Favored Fabric-No Facto-
ries in China.

Crepe de chine, in spite of its name,
does not come from China but from
Japan, Italy and France. There are
no factories for making silk piece
goods in China, ali the weaving being
done by hand. With the exception of
pongees the products of the Chinese
looms are not popular abroad, except
in oriental countries, being too heavy,
although the patterns are wonderfully
beautiful and the colors exceedingly
rich.
The pongees are woven in the homes
of the peasants, and as they come
from many looms no two pieces are
ever exactly alike in weight, fineness,
color and texture. The standings
come from the Liutang district, and
the nanshai from the Nighai district.
These pongees are made from the
wild silk of Manchuria, where the silk
worms are not cultivated and fed on
mulberry leaves as in the rest of
China but feed at will on oak leaves.
In the spring the eggs hatch on the
branches of the oak trees and the CO.
coons are gathered about September.
On attaining their full growth silk
worms seek something to which to at
tach themselves in order to wind them
selves up in their silk envelopes. Hav-
ing found it the worm spins a thread
from five hundred to thousand yards
long, wrapping it around its body as
it spins. This takes from thirty-six to
forty-eight hours.
If left alone the worms skin hard
ems, its internal organs disintegrate
to thin jelly, and then begin reor-
ganizing themselves into those of a
butterfly. Within a week or ten days
it would be butterfly. and as such
would eat its way out through its en-
velope of silk.
