Merchants Handicapped
Without Auto Service

We are living in an age Of speed.
and there has. been perhaps no
greater contribution to speed In
late years than automotive trans
portation. With the introduction
OF the telegraph and the telephone
distance In the transmission of
Information was annihilated. Hours
and days were saved In sending i'm
portant news over great distances.
The great feature was speed .
Railroads., too, were great re-
ducers of time. and It Is the ever
present desire OF railroad officials
to shorten this time still further.
Freight is now transported faster
than passengers used to be In the
earlier days and still the cry 10 for
faster schedules-more speed.
These advances, however. were
confined in general to long hauls.
Nothing much had been done to
make the transportation OF mer-
chandise from, the warehouse to
the railroad and from the railroad
to the store any quicker than II
had been In the past to fill the gap.
Truck transportation to feed rail-
roads Is now recognized as of al
most as great Importance as the
railroads themselves. Statesmen now

A DEVICE THAT GIVES
BACK ITS COST

Nearly all the best automobiles
have it, but where it is not part of
the regular equipment. anyone con-
templating the purchase of a car
should insist upon having magnetic
ignition. A magnetic not only re-
pays the small additional FIST cost,
but, in gasoline costs saved. it pays
continuous dividends. In fact, after
the first few months the returns on
the extra investment are velvet
something for nothing, eventually
To this might be added the satis-
faction of the sweet running of the
car, its pep" in picking up. its
greater power as shown when
speeding up, or taking hills on top
gear. the sprightly getaway in
traffic, and the lack of worry at all
times.
The magnetic never requires tam
pering with. as a drop or two of oil
every thousand miles or so is all the
attention it needs.
1t does not go out of commission
even when the car Is carelessly
washed, or travels through rain and
mud. 1t not only pays for itself
in real money, but also in the joy
it adds TO automobiling. Don't buy
costly trouble and sad experience
by saving the trifiing extra cost of
magnetic when buying an other
wise good car.

Soldier Settlement Bill Calls
For Large Road Expenditures
Reclamation Service Would Construct Under
Measure 10000 Miles at Cost of $1o,ooo,ooo
if Past Averages Are Maintained.

The construction OF some 10000
miles of public highways of all
classes at a cost of about so. 900. 900
will be necessary in the event of
the passage of the Soldier Settle
ment bill which was introduced re-
Gently by Representative Mondell OF
Wyoming.
On the assumption that the bill
passes carrying an appropriation or
$500, 100000 and that the expendi-
ture for roads will bear approxi-
mately the same ratio to the total
expenditure that past records of the
Reclamation service show for irrI-
cation work in the West. some S6.-
100000 will be needed for perma-
nent highways.
This ratio. it is believed, will
probably hold good for new irriga-
tion work in the western part of
the United States but for the de-
velopment Of cut-over and swamp
lands in the eastern part of the
country. the conditions arc quIl.
different and the total mileage will
undoubtedly be much greater
though the cost will not increase al
the same rate and may not exceed
that mentioned.
The type of highways will un-
doubtedly vary according to local
requirements. availability of road
material, etc. On new irrigation
projects and in the West generally,
such roads as will be constructed
will be in the main rather expensive
and well built roads through noun
famous regions to reservoir sites.
such as the Roosevelt road and the
road from Browning to st. Mary
Lakes and Sherburne Lake dam in
the Glacier National Park.
1t is probable that in the drain
age and cut-over sections of the
East. there will be a large mileage
of what might be called secondary
roads. some of which may be sur
faced with gravel or broken stone.
where the material is easily acces-
sfbic. but many will be merely well
graded dirt roads. In the South,
particularly in the coastal plains
, section, the typical sand-clay road
will be the predominatipg type.
Roughly speaking. it may be as
sumed that the expenditure for
roads will be between $4,000. 900 and
Sl0,O00.000. This estimate is for di-
rect road expenditure. 1t is we'll
also to bear in mind that a large ex-
penditure which will be of great
benefit in road building will be
made indirectly in the thorough
| drainage of regions.

THERE has been so much said about

that one would not only expect to see
all Of the shops featuring brown. but
to note that all of the best dressed
women were wearing this color How
ever. strange AS it may seem, neither
one of these things seems trus to any
great extent. If the women do take to
brown, to replace the old favorite. navy
blue, for one will be greatly surprised
All this, of course, relates to brown
for suits. dresses and for entire COS q.
TUNES, as they have been wearing blue.
Brown for furs, shoes and even for hats
is quite another story, for all three OF
these ways of using this color are very
popular. ...r
For those who cannot or will not see
anything but blue there is an excellent
blue serge model shown today. This
frock is made on the chemise lines. with
medium short sleeves. Silk embroidery
enhances the garment about the waist.
