Playing up to the most striking fea-
ture of ones appearance, whether it
be eyes, hair or complexion, is one of
the rules of tasteful dressing. In the
case of red-haired women who, as n
rule like TO wear blue, brown is real
ly their color, especially if their eyes
are brown. Black suits the red-haired
woman, too, green also is for her, an

MATHEMATICS OF BAD ROADS
Farmer Solves Problem Of Hours Lost
in Making Trip Over Road That
Is Deep in Mud.

If it takes farmer, making a trip
through the mud one hour and half
longer than when the roads are firm,
how many hours are lost in year if
1000 farmers make an average Of II
trips month? What would be the
monetary loss if each III hours lost
be estimated at IS cents per hour for
each man and his team? This two
in-one" proposition gave our old cat
considerable trouble, but he finally
worked ii out thus: One farmer null
tiplied by III hours multiplied by II
trips, multiplied by 1000 farmers,
multiplied by II mouths equals 216,-
900 hours lost; going a step further,
and multiplying 216,OOO by Is cents,
you have $4,000 per annum lost to
the farmers. Our old cat is now pom
dering. how many road bonds this
annual loss would float at per cent

GOOD ROADS SAVE MUCH GAS
Dirt Highfays as on Ono
Built of Concrete. r.

That good roads cut the cost OF
gasoline more than SO per cent lie
stated by "Freight Transportation Di.
gest." A loaded two-ton truck was
used in a test and In running lou
miles on an earth road consumed 17.3
gallons of gasoline, making an aver,
age Of 5.78 miles a gallon. The cost
figured at rs cents gallon was $4.33.
The same truck was used on con-
crete road and travelled the same dis
lance on $40 gallons Of gasoline, max
ing 11.7S miles per gallon. The cost
in this case, figured on the same
basis, was $212. The net savings In
cost Of gasoline on the improved high
way was therefore 1921, or more than
100 per cent.
Statisticians could step in here and
conjure colossal sum to represent
the savings in gasoline cost if all the
highways of the United States were
paved, remarks the Columbus (O.)
Dispatch. They could, for instance.
assume that all of the one-half million
mOtOrtruckS in the country were TWO
ton trucks, and on this basis figure
out saving in gasoline costs equal to
a couple of Liberty loan issues.
This enormous reduction in gasoline
costs, coupled with the ability to
handle loads with less fractional ef-
fort, has become one Of the strongest
arguments for good roads. The two
tests cited in this instance show con-
clusively that poor roads are expen-
sive to the farmer and merchant alike.
The farmer who hauls with a motor
truck is getting only one-eighth Of the
profit he could get and the merchant
and inter-city freight truck operator
are paying out twice what they should
for gasoline and are getting only One
eighth of the profit they could get
