APPLIED THE WRONG COLOR,
Unfortunate characterization Of lndlsn-
apoIis Young Lady Who Was
Trying TO Look Her Best.

One particularly hot day a pretty
North side girl whose browning glory
is quite Titianly inclined. met friend
Ia young man whom she had not seen
recently-in Monument circle. At his
suggestion they decided to take in the
picture show and. Incidentally, have a
little visit. ;.
Always solicitous about her appear
ance. this afternoon she was excep-
tionaRy so and fearful that her o. sc
might. perhaps, be shiny. Wherefore
on emerging from the theater, she
Jagged little behind her escort. and.
hastily opening her dorine box. gave
her nose surreptitious dab.
Fortified with the thought that even
If It was hot day she was looking
pretty fair, she couldn't account for
the very peculiar expression that she
saw on his face as he turned to speak
to her in the lobby. After minute of
strained silence, he said: what have
you been doing to your face. Elise?
Trying to match your nose to your
hair? It's poor job If you did. Let's
beat It back and you take a look in
mirror"
(Which same we did," she said, when
she told the story on herself. Said she:
Il knew he'd tell it. so thought l
might as well tell 1t first. OF course

EARTH ROADS IN CONDITION
drainage Is Chief Essential In Putting
Earth Roads in Proper Shape
Drag Must BE Used.

It can be truthfully said that drain
age is the chief essential in putting
earth roads into proper condition. An
old Scotchman, an expert road builder,
aptly said that the three requirements
of good earth roads are, drainage. more
drainage, and still more drainage. e.
w. Lehman Of the University of Mis-
souri, college Of agriculture indorses
this sentiment and adds: Roads must
not only have good surface drainage
but must also have good underdrain-
age. Surface drainage is secured by
proper grading, adequate side bitches,
and by keeping the crown of the road
properly dragged. Stretches of road
that do not dry out quickly must be
underdrained by tile.
The drag must be used after each
rain. If the best results are to be Sc
cured. Don't 60 on the road while too
muddy, let 1t dry out slightly; it should
be wet enough, however, so it will not
crumble, but smear. When properly
used, the drag brings thin layer Of
earth toward the, center of the road
which is rolled and packed between
wet periods. If too much crown is Sc
cured by dragging, the angle of the
drag should be reversed.
Getting the earth -oads graded,
bitches open, well drained, and prop
erly crowned by dragging is about all
that can be done until the people are
ready to surface the road with gravel,
broken stone or some other surfacing
material

struction has been quite noticeable.
This is especially true in those states
which have comparatively large
number of cars and only small mile
age of improved roads. Thus, Illinois,
last November approved a bond issue
Of $6O,OOO,O 600 for the construction Of a
system Of state roads. The interest
and principal of these bonds are to be
paid entirely from the motor-vehicle
revenues. There is no doubt that these
revenues will prove sufficient for this
purpose. The main question which re-
mains is whether or not a satisfactory
source Of maintenance revenues can
be secured SO as to prevent these
roads, when constructed, from dete-
riorating.

Pay $3.50 for Tickets
for Big Game

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The
few tickets for the Army and
Navy game at the Polo Grounds
Saturday which fell into the
hands of spectators were offer
ed at prices from 500 upward
last night. There are very few
to be had at that or any price.
The seats in the Polo Grounds
were sold months ago to army
and navy people, and there were
very few left for the general
public. The Offices of the New
York Giants, where the few out
side tickets were sold, have been
stormed for weeks.
So few tickets were sold out
side of army any navy circles
that the percentage obtained by
the spectators was very low
this year. The police hnve been
asked to watch for the specula-
tors.
1t was reported last night that
$3.50 was paid for two tickets,
which comes pretty close to be-
ing the highest price ever paid
to see football game. The de-
mand for tickets has been so
great that a higher price still
may be paid. The police are on
the lookout for forged tickets.
