J. J. Hill, in speech in Mime
apolls. January %, 1910, said: 'If the
problem of the railroad terminals be
neglected fol the next five years as
1t has for the last ten. 1t will blight
every form of activity by paralyzing
the whole trade"
w. G. Brown, president Of the New
York Central lines, said November O.,
1912: "If cars are kept In motion at
the average speed of freight trains at
at present time, they would make on
the average four times the mileage
they do now The trouble is the cars,
as rule, are held longer to load and
unload than the time involved in the
actual movement of the cars"-that Is,
the terminal had the railroad by the
throat and was choking three-quarters
of its efficiency out of 1t. The predic-
tion OF Hill was absolutely correct.
A period of acute congestion in rail-
road transportation had already set In

The separate skirt steadily gains
favor with American women because
II is in line for advancement. 1t fits
in with q new order of things in APP
parel, and that is, the demand for
smart, dressy clothes that remain in
formal even though they are made of
rich or dainty fabrics. But American
women show very decided preferences
in the styles they choose; their taste
runs toward plain skirts of heavy silk
fiber materials and skirts of georg-
cite or organdie with wide hens and
tucks. The trend is away from fussi-
ness, but little clever originalities. In
details of finishing and making, are
all the more appreciated because Of
this. Paris has presented for fall,
somewhat elaborate models of striped
and plaid velvet and other materials
and possibly, with the coming of cold
weather, we may take up with these.
Here is skirt for present wear Of
heavy white crepe meteor. 1t has the
fashionable length and wide hem, the
latter serving to weight the supple
crepe so that 1t hangs beautifully.

AMERICAS LOW PERCENTAGE
Only ~ Per Cent Of Present Mileage

Heavy Traffic.

The American public. though fast
becoming awakened TO advantages to
be enjoyed by improved roads, may
not realize the immense effort which
must be exerted TO catch up with Eu.
ropean nations highway systems.
When Germany entered the war in
1914, Prussia alone had 10000 miles
Of hard-surfaced highways. In pro-
portion to the size of the two coun-
tries, the United States would need
to have 1,611.914 miles. The present
road mileage In the states is 2,500000,
Of which IL per cent Is improved and
only one-quarter of per cent con-
structed for heavy traffic.

In cases Of emergency, the rear, or
driving wheel of an automobile may be
used as drum around which the line
from hoisting tackle is wound. The
power from the wheel, when turning
free from the ground, is sufficient to
exert great force In winding up the
tackle rope. For that purpose. the
drum described was designed to be at
tached directly over the hub. and to
the spokes of the wheel. 1t may be

about the waist but its casual folds
are tackled to place. 1t fastens at the
side with snap fasteners under a mar
row fold, but two large, handsome
buttons make fine pretense of use
fulness placed over the invisible
fasteners.
Little baskets are embroidered in
brown wool on the skirt, and yellow
figures, that may be translated, ac-
cording to your imagination, into fruit
or flowers, overflow them. These lit
tie baskets have handles of the brown
wool which serve to camoufiage the
slit pockets that slip into the skirt at
each side under them. Except for
them there would be nothing unusual
about this skirt but with them 1t has
the one thing needful to put 1t in the
class of distinctive models.
The blouse worn with this skirt is
tailored model of white crepe de
chine, but these handsome skirts are
very adaptable and are worn with
much fancier blouses than the one pic.

no terminals, gone to the rescue. Now
at this time, May 1, 1919, another thing
has got the motor truck by the throat
and is choking three-Quarters Of its

cutting short the life of the rolling

slower and with not over one-quar-

II ought to be for what the motor

amount 1t can do way down below the

New York World. Had these roads
been properly constructed they would
have gone to the stock exchanges and
been bought and sold there like every
other kind of transportation securi-

for one cent on the dollar. They are
built on the credit Of the states, coun-

they passed. This at the rate Of two
hundred millions Of dollars per year.
A speed of 150 miles an hour on the
beach at Daytona, Fla, was made last
Linco.n's birthday, a rate of speed
which the locomotive has never been
able to reach. Anything beyond a
three-ton truck load is more than a
freak highway can safely carry. while

this would multiply our present means
OF transportation seven or eight times
and give this country prosperity dur
ing the next dozen years such as we
have never even dreamed of. We
want to change our form Of highway
construction over night and put our
highway securities on the stock ex-
changes and not our highways on the
dump heap. Highway stocks and
bonds based on the value Of this prop
erly-constructed highway will pay a
higher rate Of interest than the rail-
ways ever have, for 1t will do much
