THE sash is one OF those items OF
L dress whose sole mission is to be
ornamental. We have It with us this
summer In many developments, from
narrow girdles with floating ends that
are mere finishing touches OF color, to
gorgeous affairs made of brilliant
brocaded ribbons, that dominate the
costume. The dress becomes back
ground for these pretentious acces-
sories when they are made Of such
splendid stuff.
On midsummer dresses OF sheer
materials sashes are often made Of
the same fabric as the dress, and oc-
caslonally, narrow ribbon is used with
these fabric sashes. Glrdles Of fabric
finished with bows and long ends of
narrow ribbon make happy combina-
tion, but the handsomest and dressiest
sashes remain, as they always have
been, of ribbons. Three Of them are
illustrated here, found among the sim
pier designs. for sashes have been
much elaborated by combining ribbons
Of different colors In them and by rib
bon flowers and ornaments. The broad
Egyptian s. sh, tied In front and held
by some sort Of Jewelry, is seen on
some Of the smart imported models.

FACTORS IN PLANNING ROAD
Location, Construction and Mainte.
nance Must Be Taken Into
Serious Consideration.

The three principal divisions of NC
tual road making are location, con
structlon and maintenance. In plan.
ming a road II is necessary that we
take into consideration all three OF
these steps, since proper location af.
fects the cost of construction and
may materially reduce cost OF main.
tenance.
Some OF the things TO be considered
In locating a road are easy grades,
good drainage, exposure 10 sunshine,
elimination of culyerts and bridges by
avoiding unnecessary creek crossings,
directness and the number OF farms
TO be served for given length OF
road Whenever possible to avoid 1t,
a good location should not be rejected
merely because certain roadway has
been in use for some time.

PLAIN HINTS TO
FOIL CAR Thief
Cleveland Auto Distributor Gives
Some Practical Sugges-
tions to Owners.
REMOVE DISTRIBUTOR ROTOR
Unique and Effective Scheme ls to
Have Blind Switch in Ignition
System-other Methods to
Discourage Robbers.

Some Ingenious yet simple ways to
foil the automobile thief, who often
laughs at locksmlths when he begins
tinkering with motorcars, are sug-
gested by Emil C. Hertz, a Cleveland
automobile distributor.
Mr.. Hertz's first suggestion is to
remove the distributor rotor. Without
this rotor there can be no spark, he
says, and without the spark no gaso-
line motor will run. The rotor Is one
of the easiest things to get at, so Its
removal by the car owner when he
leaves his vehicle parked in some
street is all the easier.
AS there are several different kinds
Of rotors, 1t is all the more difficult
for the thief. since he would have to
carry almost every type to have the
correct one available when needed.
Even though half Of all the automobile
thieves were equipped with complete
sets Of rotors, the car stealing hazard
would be reduced 80 per cent.
Unique and Effective Scheme.
Perhaps the most unique and effec-
tive scheme to protect car, continued
Mr.. Hertz. is to have blind switch
in some concealed part of the main
ignition system. Probably nine out Of
ten thieves would be utterly bafIied
If the circuit were broken in this way
because II is a device they would least
expect. They would naturally look for
the commOner methods of disabling
cars but there is no standard way
available TO the thief for locating the
trouble caused by blind switch.
Another simple, though less effectual
way to battle the amateurlsh thief Is to
dlsconnect the wire at the coil, in
connection with the generator. In
many makes of cars there is only one
wire exposed on the coil and 1t may
be detached ut either end with little
trouble.
There is still another way to discour-
age the motor car thief and that is
TO cross the spark plug wires to say
the fourth and fifth or the fifth and
sixth cylinders Of "six." This cross
ing of the wires causes back firing
and resultant heavy artillery when the
engine is started will often cause the
less hardened thief to fee In dismay.
asserts Mr.. Hertz.
Some car owners however, would
not approve OF this method Of thwart-
ing the thief because Of the danger Of
blowing or the mufiier of the cars
mechanism
Keep Record Of Numbers
Finally. be sure that you record the
numbers Of your motor and tires In a
memorandum book and keep the book
where you can always lay your hands
upon It, advises Mr.. Hertz, who cites
an instance Of a car which was stolen
., Boston, Mass. and recovered and
.antiIed four months later by one Of
the original tires.

GOOD

President Harding Insists That States
and Communities Keep Roads

President Harding has touched up

"What makes you think thatf" asked
the Snail.
"Of course" said the Green Snake,
II know that creatures who don't like
snakes at any time won't want to
think of me and of my family now,
but still, for those who do like snakes
should think they would want to
think OF me.
"You see, am a little Green Snake,
pleasant little Green Snake, and
should think it would be pleasant to
think of green snake on hot sum-
mer day.
Green Is such cool, nice color.

think Of me and Of green cucumbers.
Both very pleasant thoughts for peo-
pie. And l give them quite free Of

"Good OF you," said the Snail, 'very
good Of you"
"You know" said the Green Snake,
"some very unfair things get around
about snakes. Now, take the MIX
Snake. for example. That's the fam
lily name Of certain snakes. Many OF
them have been killed because people
think they steal milk from the farms.
But there is no truth In that, not a
scrap OF truth.
Snakes don't care for milk at all.
A snake would have to be actually
passing away with thirst to be willing
to swallow any milk.
"And that unfair story has gone
around so much about the Milk
Snake"
"It Is an unfair story" said the snail.
'Td go about and try to undo the
harm the story has done, but move
so slowly that I'd not be OF much help.
Still, whenever l get the chance l will
tell creatures that that story about the
Milk Snake is quite untrue. As a mes

"That is true" said the Green
Snake, 'but do what you can. Every
