BY Ohm DICKINSON
~ YEAT to well-equipped and thoroughly up-to-
r. date railways, transportation means good
vi solid wagon roads. Even in normal times the
L "a economic value Of such roads is we'll night
incalculable, but in a period Of armed con-
Illct victory or defeat may depend upon the condition
of the common highways. All this is we'll known.
And yet, though far-seeing men have for some years
been urging the good roads movement upon the people
and some progress has been achieved, our highways
IN general still remain among the worst in the world.
ALBERT ]. Beveridge.
l think that / shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the worlds sweet flowing breast:
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest Of robins in her hair;
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

ROMPERS FOR THE KlDDIES
Suggestions of Suitable Materials and
Decorations for Playtime and
Dress Occasions.

The baby who is brought up without
an intimate acquaintance with romV
ers Is to be sympathized with. Never
was there so comfortable a style, and
now that decorative handwork has
taken these wee garments under it's
wing, never has there been a more at
tractive style for the playtime of the
littlest member of the family.
Materials for the rompers vary from
dimity to wash silk and include seer
| sucker, chambray, cotton crepe, linen
and u~nbleached muslin. All admit the
decorative touch. 1t may be shocking,
which in the case Of soft materials, Is
used to excellent advantage on the
wash silks built on the regulation
romper pattern. 1t gathers in the full
ness at the front of the neck and at
the bottom Of the sleeves and is done,
Of course, In a contrasting color. Flesh
color shocked in light blue is a fetch
ing color scheme.
One model that is differently attrac-
tive has a kimOnO sleeve instead of the
set-in variety. Another has bloomer
legs instead of the opening right
across the bottom, which, by the way,
Is better for very young children. The
former kimono top uses, besides the
blue daisies and outlined bluebird in
the front, rows of feather-stitching to
hold the f~ullness in the proper places
and thus give the kimono cut q SEM
blance Of shape.
A contrasting belt Of white with
bunny and outlining in yellow gives
the appearance of separate trousers to
a bloomered model in tan chambray.
Just contrasting frills of white and
pearl buttons make another chambray
model as dainty a little garment as n
could wish. But the prize really must
go to a little dimity affair in white silk
with real Irish lace picot edging
around the collar and sleeve, then blue
French knots to match the blue cross
stitched geese On It's belt.

FABRIC FOR SUMMER FR0CKS
Printed Georoettes and Silk voiIes Are
Popular; No Trimming 10
Required.

Printed ~georgettes and silk voiles are
being extensively used this summer,
and as frocks made Of these materials
require no trimming they are q boon
to the home dressmaker.
Sometimes the frocks have founda-
tons Of crepe meteor or lightweight
satin or t~affeta, but perhaps the most
popular arrangement Is to use the same
material in a plain color as the founda-
ton, skillfully draping the printed fab
ric over 1t. This makes a very light
weight frock that Is charming for
dressy wear for summer. Loosely tied
sashes Of self material or of satin are
frequently used. These are tied either
at the back or side. Wide, flowing
sleeves, elbow or three-quarter length,
are the favorite ones.
Organdie dresses are also great ia
vorites this summer, the most popular
style showing a plain skirt and bodice
finished with a wide surplice bertha
edged with tiny frills. The bertha or
surplice Is drawn around the figure
and tied In a smart bow at the back.
A dress Of this type is, Of course not
for the stout figure.

FUR means STYLE
Velvet Hats Also a Feature of the
Paris Fashions.
French Women Are Not Setting a Pace
For Miiady Of America by Wear
ing Warm Clothes.

From velvet Paris next turns her at
tentiOn TO furs, and it is said that
anything with fur on it is considered
up to the minute. FurS and even vel
vet hats in plenty have been seen on
the tOrrid streets of American cities in
summers past, so it is best not TO feel
too self-righteOus or to make too much
comment when Paris chooses TO suffer
in the cause Of fashion.
The scarcer the fur the more in
vogue il is bound to be, but n does
not have To depend on the quantity Of
fur that is available, for the main point
is that ones clothes be shaggy and
The means that are employed are far
less important. Earlier in the season
fringe of any and al sorts was the
concern, but besides the monkey fur
and the dripping effects obtained by
the use of feathers the novelties in
wool materials are much in demand.
There is an ineXhaustible variety Of
knitted novelties in Angora and 9TH
or materials, anything that can be
made to hang and dangle in the man
ner Of a long-haired fur. Many Of
these are shown in bands, particularly
when the texture is suitable for use as
a trimming. Wool Is often combined
with silk and metal and interviewer
In stripes. Following closely the ideas
Of the designers, plaids, checks and
stripes are plentiful and colOrs are a
shade or two more vivid than the ma
terials of late. Stripes are produced
by Open mesh material alternating with
bands of the wool, the mesh being of
metal thread loosely woven.
Any OF these knitted novelties pro-
vides the way for trimming either a
frOck or n coat without the aid Of fur
at somewhat less expense. For sports
clothes this form Of trimming is ideal,
for the shades afford a dash of color
usually associated with such clothes,
Among other colors are dahlia, cit
ron, jade, kings blue and rust brown,
which are used separately or in combi'
nations.
Gray furs are the preference of Par
is, but brown furs are said to be de-
cided upon by the majority Of Ameri'

KEYNOTE OF DRESS

Some Of the new mushroom hats
have bandeaux inside.
Little belts Of bright-colored ribbon
are popular for the white costume.
Black satin ribbon is arranged in
spiral fashion on q black satin gown.
Individuality Is unquestionably the
keynote Of present season dressing.
Hatpins with flower heads Of bril-
liantly vanished kid are a Paris nov
city.
Few Of them are now permitting
themselves to be bound by ironical
style rulings, either al to color Or fab
ric, skirt length or width.
Crepe de chine has had so many
songs sung in it's favor that little needs
to be said. 1t is the fabric that for
centuries has been found by the Chi
nese to serve mankind well.
New silhouettes come and 60, but
a careful study Of the sartorial seen
cry in any fashionable gathering
place will convince the observer that
the best dressed women are wearing
what Is becoming.

Roads and trees for remembrance!
Victory highways in honor Of Americas fight
ing men IL the great war!
Roadside planting of trees in memory Of their
individual deeds!
1t is a truism that the economic and moral
fiber Of any community is shown by the condition
of its highways. Give the community the right
kind Of roads, schools, churches, factories and
banks and the other signs Of advancement will
soon be ia evidence.
Memorial roads! What more fitting monument
can we build In honor of our heroes? Permanent
roads dedicated to them! How can a community
better commemorate their achievements?
And all these memorial ROADS Planned and built
as parts Of a great system Of victory highways-
victory highways that food may move from farm
to city and manufactures back to the farm! that
the way of the children to the schoolhouse may be
made easy that the defense Of America against
armed force may be certain.
Victory highways that not only serve the ma
tons needs but delight the peoples eye-yic-
tory highways beautifed by roadside planting Of
American trees and shrubs and flowers. No walls
and gates and arches with their suggestion Of
something closed and set apart, but memorial
trees and groves and little parks and wavside
camps for the American traveller and food trees
for the birds.
To Abraham Lincoln have probably more me-
,morials been erected than to any other man
Which Of all these memorials is most impressive
most fitting? Consider now the Lincoln b,pb.
way as it is and as 1t is soon to be.
The Lincoln highway Is an object lesson Of
what is and what is to be In a memorial road
More than 5000 miles In length, 1t runs east and
west through the heart of America, with giant
north and south feeder highways, Joining the AT.
lantic and the Pacific. 1t traverses IL states.
F,fteen millions have been expended on II In the
last FIVE years. Already there are nearly 400
miles of concrete and brick and paving and more
than 1000 miles of macadam. 1t is In operation
from end to end. 1t carries an endless procession
Of Americans In their own automobiles. The
year round It is dotted with freight trucks
At this very moment the federal government
has under way on the Lincoln way across the
continent an exhibition train. It started from
washington, and from Gettysburg, Pa, the route

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take Glass of Salts to flush Kid
neys if Bladder bOthers YOU
Drink lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says we'll known authority
because the uric acid in meat eXcites
the kidneys, they become overworked
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region; ;
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urin-
airy irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, get about
four ounces of Jad Salts from any
good pharmacy; take tablespoonful
in glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes, and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the urine SO it no longer
irrftates, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean,
thus avoiding serious kidney disease.

CHA-CHAS ARE POOR MIXERS
Marines Say Tribe in Virgin Islands
Plainly Indicate They Want to
Be Left Alone.

Washington.-United States marines
who have hObnobbed with Filipino
headhunters, and have long been
friendly with the Chamorros Of Guam,
met their Waterloo when they tried to
establish the entente cordiale with the
Cha Chas of the Virgin islands
According to the marines the Cha
Chas are poor mixers" They live on
the west side Of the harbor Of Char
lotte-Amalie, decline to mingle or in
termarry with the negroes, and resent
any outside interference with their
affairs. They are the hardest drinkers
and best workers on the island, their
industry bringing them good living
as. fishermen and weavers of straw
hats. The tribe is said to have come
originally from the Dutch and French
Leeward islands.
So far the marines have taken only
long distance observations of the Cha
Chas. For while the tribe is not hos
tile, it's members plainly indicate that
they want to be left alone.

BATTLE BIG SHARKS
Hawaiian Sportsmen Risk Their
Lives at Game.
Dead Horses Make Best Bait, and
Sport Has Been Conn.,
merciaized.

| Honolulu.-Using the carcass of a
horse for bait. Honolulu sportsman
went fishing recently in powerboat
and returned with fish weighing
$500 pounds and measuring almost
~ feet from tip to tip, the largest
shark killed in Hawaiian waters for
many years.
Shark fishing, or rather, hunting,
as it is conducted in Hawaii, is
thrilling sport, not entirely lacking In
danger to the hunter
In fact, death battle with a har-
pooned shark, according to big-game
hunters, is about as safe as a midnight
combat with a hungry tiger.
Sharks, in their death throes, have
been known to attack the boat and
with their powerful rows of serrated
teeth rip great sections from the sides.
The shark hunter first obtains dead
horse, and If it has been dead week
Sc much the better.
The pOwerboat lows the carcass out
side the harbor and the hunt is on.
Sharks, attracted by the Odor of the
bait, gather In large numbers and soon
begin striking at the carcass, ripping
huge chunks of flesh from it.
At this stage the hunter endeavors
to work his boat near enough to permit
a shot with the harpOon.
Once securely harpooned, big shark
will fight for hours before succumb-
ing.
Recently in Hawaii shark hunting
has been placed on a commercial basis,
and the development of big industry
is forecast.
Shark fins are deemed a great deli
cacy by Orientals, and dried shark meat
has found ready market.
The canning of shark meat is being
considered. The livers yield valu-
able oil.

When Driving in Carriage,
However.

MISREPRESENTATION has just been
granted to take photographs of the
imperial family as the members ap-
pear in public driving in a carriage,
but not when they are on horseback or
afoot. This is interpreted here as a
great concession to the spirit of democ-
racy.
In the earlier days Of Japan it was
popularity supposed that any one gaz-
ing on the sacred emperor would be
struck blind. As late as 1915 on the
occasion of the coronation at, kyOto,
photographs of the emperor and EN-
press exhibited in shop windows had
the faces obscured by pieces of paper.

NimbIe Wit and Tongue
Landed Job for Owner

The Santa Fe Railroad com
pany had been advertising in
Eastern newspapers for brake
men. A big, ugly, raw-boned
8 chap, who looked like a prize
fighter, appeared before Fred c.
Fox, general manager at To
peka, Kan, and applied for
work.
II see that you want some
brakemen," said he. II would
like a job"
1--WE don't need any brake
men," replied Fox, after sizing
! up the fellow.
"Then you should take that
ad out of the papers and quit
f0Oling u.s." said the man. Il
came all the way from Philadel-
phia in reply to your adj"
Eyes, we do need brakemen,'
confessed Fox, "but we don't
want you"
"Why not?"
u don't like your looks"

looks, ehY
Yes
"Well, who hired your" asked
the brakeman.
II guess you will do" replied
Fox with a laugh. "You can go
to work this afternoon"
