Com. Club Wants
Highway Wider

The Ashland Commercial Club at
their meeting Wednesday night
passed a resolution asking the state
highway committee to widen th'
grade on the Pacific highway on the
Siskiyous to sixteen feet The plans
for this proposed road call for paw
ing twelve feet wide, and as this will
be the chief highway by which tour
lists will enter this state from the
south the twelve foot paving is not
considered of sufficient width to ac-
commodate the extensive trave
which this new paved highway will
entail.
The present roadbed is aIread,
graded to a width of twenty-foui
feet. which is the standard for the
state, and a sixteen foot paving
would therefore incur no extra grad.
ing expense. The nature OF the high.
way with high banks, heavy grades
and sharp curves make 1t essential
that every precaution should be TAX
en- to make the road safe for travel
as. it is practically impossible fol
two vehicles to pass with safety on
a twelve foot paving This is con.
sidered even more dangerous than q
road eight feet wide, as no driver
would attempt to pass another We
hicle on a road of that width.

beautiful capes in the style of that

Nearly all of these are in the natural
taupe color of the feathers, but in Os-
trich capes and boas there is often a
mixture of white and natural fiues.
Rufus made of malines in very full
plaits and rufus made of loops of wide
satin ribbon are among old acquaint-
ances that find themselves returned to
favor, now that everything in neckwear
proves to be of interest. They are not
at all difficult to make, the plaits or
loops are simply stitched on to a band
that lies about the neck, and they fas-
ten with ties of narrow satin ribbon.
Small chokers and other small neck
pieces in furs appear to have displaced
larger neckpieces and capes for sum-
mer wear and narrow scarfs of satin,
finished at the ends with fringe, prove
themselves a chic novelty on women
who know how to wear them well.
