Effective Trimming of Squares.

Squares of materials can be worked
into a very effective trimming for
panels of a frock or for the ends of
scarf. The shaded portions in the
illustration represent the material of
the frock. Squares ,of black are
appliqued to the material with metal
or colored thread. Small squares OF
metal or colored cloth (the white
squares in the sketch) are appliqued
on to the black with silk. The effect
is stunning on an evening frock If
black velvet and gold or silver cloth
are used for the squares.

Whence come the tremendous num-
Der Of King families which are to be
found in every section Of this coun-
try? One thing is certain: The family
names in this group do not come from
kings at all.
There is only one instance on record
in English history where person Of
royal birth adopted the parental title
rather than the parental name as his
surname, and II there is one point
to which contemporary historians
always pay attention, it is to the
doings of their kings. One of the
Henrys once did choose to style him
self "Fitz- z-Empress" ("son OF the en-
press"). but he did not pass the name
on to his posterity. King as a family
name could not have developed from
such a source as this without leav.

the expenditure in the hands of
the highway commission. Other
counties would not be willing to
trust the expenditure to it's county
court. Some compromise would
have to be reached by which each
county would be assured of roads
that would bear evidence of the
amount expended.
1t is not an easy matter to
bring the people to a pitch of en-
|thusiasm that would cause them
to vote bond issue without SER
ious consideration.
Some time ago Fayeite county
issued $4,000 in bonds for road
construction. Some smart agents,
representing road machinery, got
hold of the committee from the
county court and sold 1t a lot Of
equipment that might have been
useful in some localities. but was
not adapted to the hillsides Of
Fayette county. and at the pres
ent time q part Of it is in the
bitches, and other parts repose,I
useless and unused, where a tragic
experience demonstrated it's total
unfitness for the work in hand.
Many other counties have had
a similar experience. Instead Of
employing a person skilled in the
art of roadmaking. the worshipful
county courts have undertaken
to do the work themselves and
keep the money in the family. II
is impossible to estimate the dam
age that bas been done frem this
policy to the good roads movel
ment. 8
We believe that public roads
and public schools are the greatest
influence for the upbuilding Of
the rural communities of this
state. Certainly there is nc state
that needs good roads and schools
any more than Tennessee.
If the plan that was evolved
by the East Tennessee gentlemen
lis feasible and economical, it
should have whole-hearted SUPP
port. However, it ought to be
made plain in the outset that
whatever the plan adopted. it
will be safeguarded against mis-.
takes in construction, against ex-
cessive salaries for officials and
agents, and the funds utilized
strictly for the construction of
roads, and that alone.
