NIGHT TRAVEL WEARS ROADS
More Destructive to Highways Than
In Daylight, According to Re-
cent Experiments.

The experiments being conducted on
the Bates experimental road, show
that night travel is more wearing on
highways than is day travel, accord
ing to Clifford Older, chief highway
engineer.
The road expands In the day, ae-
cording to Mr.. Older. and the center
becomes convex. The heat is absent
at night, and the road assumes con-
cave shape, the edges curling up and
forming slight hollow In the CEN
tiers. From these discoveries 1t is de-
duced that heavily loaded vehicles
travelling along on the edge of road
way have a tendency to cause 1t to
crumble.
The testing of the Bates road was
begun late in March and is still I'M
der way. 1t was delayed for time
by the floods.

reau of public roads will supervise the
construction work, and 1t is expected
that a large number of the projects
will be completed this season.
Practically all the roads 20 be built
are parts Of the state or county high
way systems and will therefore In most
cases connect with and extend the sys-
TEN of federal aid highways covering
the whole country. In some cases the
new construction will provide roads
through mountainous regions of the
national forests hitherto penetrated
only by pack trails.
In addition to the major road prof.
ects, about $5,OOO0O0 will be expend-
ed by the forest service on minor
roads and trails required primarily for
the protection and administration Of
the national forests.

Coats Match Dresses.

The costume suit, which was so
loudly heralded In the fall has carried
over into summer with all of its finest
points to the fore, and it bids fair to
be one of those things which,, in the
fall, we will cling to as an inspiration
not to be foresworn.
One of the very latest ones is the
long-w aisted, short--peplumed coat.
There is every attraction here of femi-
nine grace and charm, and at the same
time the suit, either with its coat or
without it, has every attribute OF dig
nifty to carry along with 1t. The dress
portion of this costume suit Is made
from combination Of that soft.
cream-colored French cotton crepe,
and the skirt Is made from lemon
yellow ratlne. Now those two ma
terials are, to be sure, only the foun-
dations. Upon them are superimposed
many bands and lines of embroidery
done in stitches of mercerized cotton
in colors of black, brown, sparkling red
and white. On the blouse these hand
worked bands contain all of the col
ors, but when 1t comes to the skirt
only the black and the white threads
are used, and the same Is true of the
belt made of shaped piece of the
ratine. Then the coat is made of the
same fabric that goes to make the
skirt of the frock worn underneath 1t.
ANA the little jacket is further embel
lished by bands of dyed kolinsky fur
carrying the softest of the darker
tones of brown. The coat is lined then
with a soft, cream-colored silk having
a smooth surface which turns back on
the collar and cuffs and shows becom,
| ingly against the neck and against the
pulled sleeves of the cotton crepe
which jut out underneath the wide
cuffed sleeves. One nice thing about
| the skirt to this frock Is the way 1t
pleats in ON the sides. This gives
sufficient amount of room for walking,
and al the same time it keeps that trig,
straight look.
Golden Brown Crepe.
Another dress designed for street
wear and worn, indeed, by the very
smart woman In New York was made
of golden brown crepe. The skirt
had straight panel at front and at
back, while at the sides were these
inserted sections of narrow side pleat-
| ings. At the base of the skirt the little
pleats were tackled together so that
| the skirt pulled out above that point in
a sort of harem fashion. Worn with
this skirt there was cape jacket with
loose and flowing sleeves through
which other pulled sleeves of a Rus
sian blouse bodice were seen to pro-
trude. This little bodice of white
had lines of Russian embroidery in
tones of yellow and brown marching
around the collar and down the front,
| while the ends of lhp sleeves had

Washington.--The "A assistant Sec

demonstrating that government red
tape can be cut. Edward Clifford of
Chicago, one Of the assistant secre-

business training under Charles g.

the bureau of the budget, is re-
sponslble primarily for the tape cut
ting campaign.
One of the first things Clifford
observed after he took service with
the Treasury department was the
seeming impossibillty of transactlng
tnterdepartmental business with
promptness. If his branch of the
Treasury department desired certain

him to take the subject up through

answer was ready to be forwarded.
This red tape process frequently con-

was that tradition must be followed or
the government would probably not
survive.

The status of Butte high school
basketball team took decided fall Fri
day night, when the Great Falls qulnt
dragged its reputation through the
hoop to the tune of "a to 8. The in
credible team work of the Blue and
White five, coupled with the work OF
the guards, was responsible for the vic
tory. This was the first game with
a team from the mining district and
the outcome places Great Falls in
line for the state tournament in March.
The two teams will play again to-
night.
A Great Falls star cannot be chosen
because Of the superior team work
which all players displayed. Lowry and

with the skill of collegiate players
