BEAUTY CULTURE HINTS

There is real common sense in
just noticing whether the hair rs
well kept to Judge of q woman's
neatness. or good taste. II you are
one of the few who try to make
the most of your hair, remember
that it is not advisable to wash
the hair with any cleanser made
for all purposes, but always use
some good shampoo. You can en-
joy the very best by getting some
canthrox from your druggist, dis
solve a teaspoonful in a cup Of hot
water. This makes q full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough so IL is
easy to apply it to all the hair in
stead of just the top Of the head.
Dandruff, excess oil, and dirt are
dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that IL
will look much heavier than II is.
It's luster and softness will also
delight you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which in,
sures hair growth.-Adv.

CHIEF OF PUBLIC
ROADSSAYSNEED
FOR AID URGENT
Federal Program Faces
Tie-Up for Lack of
Funds.

Thomas II. Mcdonald, Chief Of the
Bureau of Public Roads. speaking
for the Bureau and the Executive
Conmittee of the American Asso-
ciation of State Highway oficials
to . committee from the American
Farm Bureau Federation at the
Harrington Hotel, declared that
uniess Congress provided new
funds for Federal road aid before
the close Of this fiscal year, II VIII
be impossible to extend the road
building program now in progress,
because the Federal appropriations
now available are either already OBJ
ligated or will be shortly. he
claimed the Federal road work was
started in 1916 with an sppropria-
ton of s75.e00.oO0 and in 1913 a
further appropriation of s20o,o0o,0vo
was made. The appropriation Is al
lotted among the States according
to the area, population and post
roads. On this basis the distribution
comedies closely with the wealth
and value of the products OF the
States.
Repairs are Urgent.
He told how the heavy trucks are
pounding the roads and making
more substantial construction nee
essary. He claimed that during
his investigation of the use Of
trucks by about 1000 farmers In
the corn belt States, he found the
desired capacity to be from one to
two tons and that a three-ton truck
was the limit
'sThe manufacturers of trucks
may be induced to change their
vehicles so as to change the distri-
button Of te weight and the wheel
load. On most trucks approximately
50 per cent. Of the load Is carried
on the rear wheels, causing q tre-
mendous crushing power on the
rear wheels. This causes q small
break in the roadbed to be quickly
worn into a big one" he declared.
He suggested the general use of
pneumatic tires and when exceed
ingly heavy loads are being carried
to use trailers-
Interstate Roads.
He pointed out how under the ad-
ministration of the Bureau of Roads
and its cooperation with the State
road commissioners Of the Bureau,
a system Of interstate roads is be-
ing rapidly built. particularly in the
East The roads do not end at the
State boundaries but continue from
one center of population to another
he claimed.
A bill recently prepared by the
executive committee of the Ameri-
can Association of State Highway
Onicials. which provides for the
limiting of the expenditure Of the
Federal Aid funds to the improve
ment Of a system of roads in each
of the States consisting of not more
than seven per cent Of the State
road mileage, was favored.
