the One-pIece dress has crowded the

This year the suit has come back. In

This IL q ribbon year, says Paris,

variety of designs suited for every
possible use. but the smartest Of them
will invariably he the cire or var

Certain smart spring frocks boast
Of panels Of ribbon. There are broad
ribbon panels at the sides and narrow
floating panels are caught under the
hem ut the bottom OF the skirt.
A smart variation Of n geOrgette
model has vcst-like bodice made OF
wide brocaded ribbon. Shirrings Of a
very narrow width head the skirt and
outline a fiounce.
Grdles, OF course. will make the
most OF ribbons. A unique sash CIR

A rather narrow gIrdle Of purple

Black satin ribbon makes a very

Of ribbon are wider toward the back
where 1t is finished by streamer ends.
Naturally one would expect to find
bags of ribbon designed TO be carried
with ribbon costumes. There are many

attractive bag Of brown taffeta ibbon
Is made with four panels. At the top
OF the bag are overlapping panels
edged with plated satin ribbon.

TUSCALOOSA |S
 BUILDING HOMES
Virtually Every Street and Ave- nue Is Boosting Progressive
 Part In Boom

Tuscaloosa. April 2s.-(speciaI)- Among the numerous homes being erected in this city is most attrac- tive building on university grounds which is to be used as an "overflow" dormitory.
 Each year the old dormitory has realized this need more and more, and many students have had to stay in private homes on account of the old building being packed to the limit The building is located between the A. T. O. and S. A. K. fraternity houses, is furnished in every respect as the frat house and will accommodate about so or 75 men. It's erection will cost the college about $40,000.
 There is scarcely & street or avenue in Tuscaloosa which has not a new house or building of some kind under construction on it. DTS. W. W. and s. D. Deal are building three nice resi- dences on Queen City avenue, two other $4,0OO homes are going up on that ave- nue. Burchfield brothers are placing a Sf5,OOO storage building on Ninth street in place of the old Craddock homestead. A new Baptist church on Eleventh street. w. H.

roads to market as the farmers them selves. The city consumer must have his supplies delivered economically and regularly, and to bring about this state of affairs farm-to-market roads must be provided.
 "The farmers feel that it is more es- sental in the agricultural districts to ex- tend a considerable mileage of useful roads than to build a few perfect miles. In the construction of highways the ser vice they are expected to render must be taken into consideration, and they should be so built that they will carry in a satisfactory manner the traffic which is to come to them.
 "The granting of aid to rural highways by the federal government has lent great impetus to road improvement which should be continued by cooperation be- tween the government and the states Definite road programmes have been adopted in most of the states, and ade- quate appropriations by the federal gov ernment to meet such requirements should be continued Regardless of the character of the roads that are built, an adequate amount of funds should be set aside for their maintenance and repair.

There were several cases in which plain American sailors saved ships from damage or destruction. But there are few stories of the war more thrilling than that of John Mackenzie, chief boat swain's mate. and the Remlk.
 The Remlik, an armed yacht taken from it's luxurious career at the begin ming of the war and converted into a submarine fighter, was at it's duty on patrol off the coast of France. A ter rife storm was raging and the Remlik was having all it could do to hold it's own in the heavy weather.
 U-BOAT SIGHTED
 Suddenly there was cry from the lookout:
 Submarine. 400 yards off starboard" General quarters" alarm was sounded and all stations were manned. Two peri scopes had been sighted. The after guns crew stayed at it's post, trying to get a shot at the U-boat, in spite of the fact that big seas were breaking over the vessel.
 Before they could fire, however, the submarine submerged.
 Then followed one of the queerest st- nations that could arise at sea. The Remlik and the submarine were both so tossed about by wind and wave that
 
 other.
 The Remliks gunners kept their guns u uained in the general direction in which they suspected the U-boat was lying; the U-boat presently bobbed up again, but at once submerged as the guns turned toward it; twice more it poked it's peri scopes above the surface, only to with draw them, as sacred snail withdraws it's horns when the guns swung into line for trial shot.
 On board the Remlik there was an in- tense eagerness to drop depth bomb
 BOMB BREAKS LOOSE
 Could this have been done the U-boat would have joined those which never re turned to Germany, but long as It was impossible for the Remlik to make more than two knots, it was impossible to drop depth bomb without running the danger of almost as much damage to herself as to the enemy.
 Through all the perils and excitement of this encounter John Mackenzie did no more than his duty, which was neither more nor less than anybody else did. But the greater danger was yet to come.
 The depth bombs which the Remlik crew had itched to drop in the U-boat's

CONGRESS WANTS
 STATES ID HELP
 IN ROAD BUILDING
Farmers Insist Upon More Mileage of 'USabIe Roads" and Not Less "Fancy
 Construction"
By HUGH W. ROBERTS
 Washington Bureau rns Age Neral


 Washington, April Special )-Con- gress will make an effort to enact a road bill. providing for cooperation be- tween the federal government and the states, prior to June 90. on which date present appropriations will be no longer available
 There is every indication however that Serator Townsend of Michigan chairman of the Senate committee on postoffices and postroads, will have his way in se- curing the necessary legislation. As re- suit, it is the opinion of many members of Congress. chiefly from southern states where rural communities and population abound, that good roads," as the term is now understood, will be given a very black eve.
 The Banlthead bill, under which present appropriations are available permits counties and states to select roads on wkich improvement is to be made. The Townsend bill proceeds on the theory that uneonneeted construction represents a waste of money. It provides for city to city connections and thus overland high ways.
 IL The chairman of the Senate committee Is powerful. almost omnipotent in pre- paring road legislation Some bill, sim liar to the Bankhead bill, will be put through the House. In the committee Of the Senate, the Townsend bill will be substituted. It will be put through the Senate. By that time, June 30 will have approached. The House will be con- fronted with the necessity of taking the Tfxlr cey,d ols. for read appropriation prior to June 90. Unoer the Townsend bill the road from farm to market will be eliminated It Was in hope of this road that the farmers rallied to road legislation. It was with thought centered on such a road that the farmers voted for bonds by means of which the states could CO., operate with the government. Ii is the fear of southerners in Congress that the farmers will withdraw their support when the Townsend bill is substituted for the Bankhead bill. For their representa- tives in Washington have already voiced their opposition. They have emphasized the difference between the city road and the market road, between the road for sport and the road for work.
 The American Automobile association, the United States Chamber of Commerce, the Federal Highway council and other similar organizations have indorsed the Townsend idea But the farmers have net.

Daniels Tells Ho1U Ingram Saued Ship

thus honoring the memory of an Amer can hero, who, in this life never rose above the rating of a gunner's mate.
 Osmond K. Ingram served on the Cas- sin and the Cassin was patroling in Irish waters-where submarines were thicker than almost anywhere else in the seas.
 On October 15, 1917 the Cassin sighted a U-boat, and put on all speed to reach the spot where the periscope had shown. But the quarry had submerged. The Cassin kept up the search. A half hour passed and there was no sign of the enemy,
 TIME FOR QUICK ACTION
 Then, suddenly, a torpedo was sighted. It was running at high speed and headed for the Cassin. When discovered it was less than 400 yards away. In order to avoid it, the Cassin must act in seconds almost split seconds.
 "Double-emergency-fu was sig naled to the engineroom, and the rudder put hard left
 Just as in the case of the Remlik, the stern of the Cassin was stored with depth charges.
 Gunner's Mate Ingram. cleaning the muzzle of his gun saw that the torpedo was headed straight for the stern of the Cassn. If it exploded there, detonating the depth charges, it might sink the ship.
 The CaSSin had made quick turn, ana for a moment it looked as if the torpedo might pass astern. But, when it was only 15 or 20 feet away, it leaped, DOT poise-like from the water and struck the ship.
 HERO INSTANTLY KILLED
 There was terrific explosion. Gunner's Mate Ingram was killed instantly. Buc the Cassin remained afloat!
 With rudder gone and stern shattered, it kept going, even though it could go only in circles, and it's crew, when the U-boat emerged to see what had hap pened, opened fire. Dismayed at this show of fight the U-boat tucked again and quit the combat
 Help came for the Cassin, and she was taken to port, repaired and returned to service.
 But Gunner's Mate Ingram had given his life to save the ship and her crew
 That is why the long-establshed prece- dent was broken and an American naval ship was named after an enlisted man. I rather think the American people will say I was justified in breaking the pre- cedent
