Road Congress Favors Creation OF
Highway Transportation Bureau
Roads Lead to Wealth.

Creation of q permanent national
bureau of transportation, together
With continuance Of state %organiza-
lions, has been recomsmended as one
of the most important steps In the
work Of construction. Without at
tempting ~ seize any credit for them
selves, 1t Is the opinion of highway
officials that such Investigations as
had peer undertaken in the several
states of the Union had disclosed an
immediate economic need for the con-
tinuance Of the work which iHas for

In transportation, with a resultant de-
crease of living costs, as an immedl-
ate development of the vast potential

As a result of the deliberations Of
a meeting in Chicago the committee
went on record as %favcring these
points: The enactment by congress

construction Of a national system of

do away with the restrictions now

where the casual observer might be-
lieve that traffic has been fully devel-
oped, but which close students say
could be geared up TO a remarkable
extent through efficient use of the
highways.
In standing by the creation of a
federal road commission, the officials
of the body expressed their belief In
the feeling, now generally prevalent
throughout the United States among
road men, that the time has come
when transportation on the highways
Is deserving of more substantial recog-
milton than that accorded 1t as a

TN THE pursuit of happiness women
have been going earnestly and in
dustrlously In quest OF new suits
for what Is Easter without the inspira-
ton Of new and gladstone apparel?
The quest has reached the acute stage
during the present week and mer-
chants know what style ideas have
proved most successful. To begin
with the longer skirt Is finally and
emphatically approved by f~pshionables
skirts are longer by many inches,
the rule being eight or even six inches
from the floor. Also they are plain.
POiret twill, ~tricotine and serge are
all well represented In suits and dec
orative features appear on coats,
which are made In at least three dis
tinct styles, including the box coat,
the straight line belted coat and the
semi-ftted models.
In the matter Of decorations, braids
may come and beads may 60 but en-
brolderies go on forever, apparently.
A few models reveal beaded decora-
lions. many are trimmed with fiat
bralds or ribbon, but still greater
numbers are either embroidered or
finished Off with stitching of heavy

that simplicity is the keynote OF street

important and growing more 80, along
with hats which must always make or

on these details and On footwear
therefore we see dawning a summer
that ought TO add the witness of n

any others.
Neckwear is important because the
new coats call for II. There are high

be greatly facilitated in this way. The
collection of OIL and grease in the cor
ners of the average garage account for
much of the disagreeable odors. The
entire floor should slope to the drain,
provided with a "mud-trap."
Sliding Doors Convenient.
An arrangement Of entrance doors
to the car room which has found popu-
lar favor consists of three sliding
doors working on an overhead track,
and so arranged hat either one of the
end doors with the middle door VIII
slide past the other end door; this ar
rangement allows two-thirds of the
width of the entire door opening on one
side or the other for a car to enter.
Such arrangement is especially suited
for a two-car garage where the width
for the door opening is limited.
In garages for several cars, turnta-
bles are often installed, but where
same are used these should combine
simplicity, compactness and ease Of OPP
Grafton In their own mechanical con-
struction. The space under the turn
table must be drained.
Some other requisites relative to the
well-equipped garage include a repair
pit, which should have an outlet at the
a so that in case Of fire 1t would
form a means of egress for the me
chanic.
