HELPS PAY FOR GOOD ROADS
In 1918 Nearly 81 Per Cent Of Motor
Vehicle Tax Was Applied to
Highway Improvement.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The increase in motorcar registra-
tions and revenues in the United
States during the past dozen years
represents some interesting compari-
sons. This is especially true in re-
spect to the use made of the revenues,
In 1905 the total registrations were ap-
proximately $4,000 cars, paying q gross
revenue Of about $4,000, or roughly
the same as the returns from the Dis
trict of Columbia for the year 1918.
Furthermore in 1906 the gross regis
tratiOn revenues represented less than
three-tenths of l per cent of the total
rural road and bridge expenditures for
that year. In 1918 the motor-vehicle
revenues represented approximately
81 per cent of the total road and
bridge expenditures for that year. Fur
thermore, while In 1906 practically
none of the motor-vehicle revenues
were applied to road construction or
maintenance, In 1918 nearly 81 per
cent Of the gross returns, or $46,935.-
691, were devoted to this purpose In
46 states, and of the total amount ap-
piled to road work II per cent, or
$36, 161, 473, was expended more or less
directly under the control or super
vision Of the state highway depart
ments.

Trucks are usually equipped with
motors having considerable reserve
power, which is provided for pulling
heavy loads up grades or over bad
roads. If hauling to and from the farm
is over fairly level, improved roads, as
is the case In great many instances,
the motor truck even when loaded to
capacity is capable of hauling trailer,
thus being able to handle nearly twice
the normal rated capacity of the truck
without overlooking it.
Danger In Practice.
There Is a danger, however, in this
practice Of hauling trailers behind
trucks, because some owners are sure
to use them when highway and other
conditions are not favorable. The
harm in doing this comes in overload
ing the truck motor beyond the ca
pacity at which 1t will work econom,
ically and efficiently, which is prob
ably the worst punishment that can
be given truck.-Powev Warming.

Another combination of black ann
crepe is shown in a narrow-brimmed
shape that has a bandeau at the back.
The underbrim and bandeau are COW
cred with the white crepe and the up
per brim with black crepe. The soft
crown is formed by draping one end
of a crepe veil over the shape and
knotting it at the front. The veil is
then caught to the bandeau in the back
and falls from there as far as the
waist line.
Either black or white beads, in a dull
finish, are used in mourning millinery.
In this hat white ones have been
chosen to edge the brim.
Grosgrain and other unfinished
silks and ribbons are used for making
mourning hats to be worn later than
the first period Of mourning or by per-
sons who do not wish to wear crepe.
The sailor shape illustrated has its
crown entirely covered with loops of
grosgrain ribbon. The narrow brim Is
covered with silk and serves to sup
port a wide border made of rows Of
ribbon set about 1t with spaces be-
tween them. Georgette crepe and
malines are used In hats for mourning
wear-and any other materials that
have the right sort of surface. Crepe
is usually replaced, after short
period, by hats of these other ma
terials
