 looked at the reflection of herself in the mirror. It was an old fashioned glass with a wave in 1t, and she had to tilt it in order to get a good view of herself. She thought she looked very nice. Her blue ~poplin dress was new and she had waved her hair becomingly. Her hands, of course, were better out of sight They had grown coarse and rough with work since her marriage. On the left one shone the tiny spark of a diamond guarding her unworn, wedding ring. She loved her rings, for to her they were symbolic-the- one of great joy, the other of lasting security.
 Her hat and coat were not so fresh as her dress. and they did not match. 6tfll the coat was warm and she had always felt that the hat was particu- lar1y becoming. She looked in the glass again and smiled. Certainly Ger trude would not find her changed.

NATIONAL HIGHWAY NEED
| IS GREATER THAN EVER
Burden and Cost of Poor Roads
Are Emphasized by Roy
D. Chspin.

"In a day when every expenditure
should be rigidly scrutinizcd and
Ievery effort made to overcome the
burden which the world war has sad
died on us the need of d national
highway stands out moro clearly than
lever before" says Roy ID. Chapin,
chairman. highways committee. Ma
!tionai Automobile Chamber of Com
mercc.
Not one item in the domestic
budget of the United States gives
evidence of such waste and ineft-
cheney as that displayed In our high
way transportation costs. which are a
direct reflection of the damage
wrought by poor roads.
Burden of Bad HOnds.
Because Of this condition many
cents arc added to the cost of the
daily meal of every citizen In the
| land. thousands OF tons of food stu
remain rotting on the farms. and the
burden of meeting our taxes is In
tensified.
Intelligent Improvement and main
tenance of our highways. at com
paratively insignificant cost, would
costs to pay off the national war debt
within the lifetime Of the present
generation and leave a handsome
residue to the treasury besides.
| We have 6,500.0O passenger cars
in the United States today. Assume
that national highway system of
10000 miles should be constructed
and maintained by the government.
| If each of these cars Travelled out
| 1.200 miles a year saving of y. ler
cent a mile in gasoline and tire cos,s
would easily be effected, or a total OF
Sl17. 100000 year
II Cents Ton Saved Each Mile.
| Government figures show that saw
ling of II cents a ton for every mile in
commercial traffic is made when roads
are improved. The congressional inves-
legations of 1912 deduced an annual
highway traffic of 700. 900, 900 tons. A
conservative statement would place the
total today at 200. 600, 900 tons. On the
assumption that but one-ffth of this
Travelled over the national system (and
an improved road always draws much
!more) there would be a ton mileage saw
ling of $123,000,G6o. Since the avera ge
haul is sixteen miles an hour the actual
saving per ton of merchandise would be
S34O. 600, 900 a year.
I Thus in two items We have arrived
lat an annual saving of S457, 600 600, or
more than is asked for over a period of
four years in the bill introduced by
Senator Townsend of Michigan, propos-
ling the construction of such a system
as that outlined.
| Our counties and states have recog-
niZed the economic importance of road
|construction by appropriating more than
81 900. 100000 to local improvements. 1t
is the nations part to build and main
tain those highways"
