CHANGE IDEAS ON HIGHWAYS
Manufacturing Public No Longer Re.
CARDS Good Roads as speedways
for Fortunate Neighbors.

The public's conception of "good
in the last two years.
Prior to the entry of the United
States into the world war, the non
motoring American public, more often
than not, thought good roads were adj
vocated chiefly for the benefit of their
more fortunate neighbors who owned
and drove their own motor cars.
writes e. A. Williams, Jr., president
of large motor truck company. They
were inclined to regard good roads
laws as class legislation and were I'M
willing for the most part to lend either
financial or moral support to the con-
struction and upkeep of something
from which they derived no direct
benefits so far as they could see.
The war merely FASTENED what
leaders of the industry had foreseen
for several years it furnished the set
ting and the conditions which enabled
the truck to establish itself as a fac
tor in the economic life of the coun-
try.
The non-motoring public no longer
looks upon good roads as "speedways"
for the motoring "aristocracy." 1t has
come to realize that motor trucks
are essential as transportation factors,
and that good roads are necessary to
the efficient operation of trucks. It's
vision has been broadened it sees the
advantages and benefits which accrue
from a combination of these factors
benefits which have a direct bearing
upon the economic conditions of the
community.
1t sees the farm brought, one might
say, to the very table of the consumer ;
it sees an ultimate decrease in food
prices; and, those who pause to con-
slider the matter further, see the ever
expanding range of possibilities of the
truck and its ally, good roads.
With the universal recognition and
adoption of the motor truck the pub
lies conception of how roads should
be built also has undergone a change
Heretofore there has been a vast diff
ference between the average mans
idea of good roads and that of the
experienced engineer. The average
man was content TO build for the pres.
ent; the engineer, as result of past
and not altogether satisfactory exper.

braided and ending in tassels. Satin
sandals and a smart satin cap suggest
that this is more of a beach outfit
than swimming suit. The cape is re.
versible.
The suit at the right is not meant
to meet any very strenuous demands,
blu, to look pretty while it lasts. 1t is
made of purple satin, trimmed with
folds of orchid satin and turban of
the orchid satin caps it off. These
colors are apt to be unstable between
sun and water, but the same model in
black or navy blue with white bands
will last out a season.

Rainbow Ribbon Hat.

A delightfully."- unique hat for sam
mer wear is the rainbow ribbon one.
1t Is made by sewing row upon row of
one-inch-wide grosgrain ribbon upon
a buckram mushroom shape. Start
with a delicate pink at the central
point of the crown and go round twice
and then put in two rows of a cham.
payne color. After the champagne use
two rows of pinkish tan. Thereafter
follow two rows of the pink, and this
color is followed by pinkish lavender
color for the next two rows. After
completing this cycle just simply start
all over again with the champagne
ribbon.

fence, knows and has known the i'm
pOrtance of building for the future
as well as the present.
The first thing a railroad does after
obtaining a right-of-way, as everyone
knows, is to build a roadbed and lay
tracks. That roadbed is put in to
stay. The track, which corresponds
to the surface of the highway, is built
of the most substantial and practical
material to be had.
The railroad officials, however, do
not expect this roadbed and track to
last forever without attention. Long
ago they learned that the only way
TO assure safety and durability is to
anticipate depreciation and make con-
slant repairs.
That is just what we are coming to
in road building. For years 1t has been
customary dor county engineers to
direct such operations but for the
most part their work has been ham,
pered by lack of funds, and made
quate force or by limited legislation
and more or less red tape. There are
some states in which farmers are still
working out their road tax by the day,
hauling gravel or stone In more or
less haphazard fashion for the con-
struction Of roads; upon their efforts
and those of a limited force of hired
workers depends the maintenance of
the community's highways.

the new heavy silk weaves when used
in accessories for street dress. A plain
and checked silk make up the hat, bag
and parasol, whose story is fully told
by the photograph. Finally a plain
silk parasol gets into line with one of
the summer outstanding style features
by means of figures worked about it

appears on hats, bags, frocks and

Cav HANDBAGS,

Particular attention has been paid
to handbags this season by the manu-
facturers. Frames of gold, silver, col
ored celluloid and shell are used. A
bag of black satin has embroidered on
it's sides a colorful design in wooden
beads. Another of dark blue faille is
made gay with oriental embroidery.

Popular StraWs.

Lisere and milan straws are very
popular for hats but the latter straw
is difficult to obtain. Ribbons, ostrich
fancies, flowers of straw, velvet or silk
and various kinds of feathers, are
used as trimmings. AS to colors it
would seem that any of those found
in the rainbow are popular.

Thing That Saved Flock Of Black

A party Of gentlemen at hotel
were telling stories one night recently
Of famous shots and how many
quails, cartridges, ducks and other
birds had been killed at single dis

seemed willful exaggeration by differ

only use of the fatal double-barreled
gun as follows:
II went into the field one day to try
cunning. The only game discovered
was an immense flock of blackbirds.
I should say there were 10,O00in the
flock. Slowly l crawled up to them.
and when not more than four rods
away the birds arose in solid mass.
I fired both barrels, and how many do
you think l killed?'
Different guesses were made by the
PARTY, ranging from 20 to 100.

reply.
"What man, pet? I do not know
which one you mean."
"That man, l mean," Caroline said

GEORGE G. M'MURTRY,
Captain, 3osth Infantry.

Captain McMurtry received the Dis
tinguished Service Cross for conspicu-
GUS gallantry in action at Charlevans,
in the Forest d'Argonne, France. Oc-
tober 2 to 8, 1918. Captain McMurtry
commanded battalion which was cut
off and surrounded by the enemy and.
although wounded in the knee by
shrapnel on October 4, and suffering
great pain, continued throughout the
entire period to encourage his officers
and men with a resistless optimism
that contributed largely toward pre-
venting panic and disorder among the
troops who were without food, cut off
from communication with our lines.
October 4, during heavy barrage, he
personally directed and supervised the
moving of the wounded to shelter be-
fore he himself sought shelter. Oc-
tober 6 he was wounded in the Shout
der by a German grenade, but con-
tinued personally to organize and direct
the defense against the German attack

command his troops, refusing relief,
and personally led his men out of the
position after assistance arrived, be-
fore permitting himself to be taken to
the hospital October 8. During this
period the successful defense of the
position was due largely to his efforts.

trench knife, rushed into the emplace-
ment. In a hand-to-hand struggle he
killed and wounded several of the &C.
cupants and captured twenty-five pris-
oners, at the same time silencing seven
machine guns. Michael Perkins, his
father, lives at PAT E street, South
