Dr. and Mrs. M. O. Dumas, who were staying there, did not get down until some time later. They found that pint of hand lotion Mrs. Hart had made out of glycerire, rose- water and other ingredients, includ- ing some gelatine substance, had been mistaken for jelly by the cowboys, who had eaten nearly all of it.

 Wesbster's New International dic- ionary says it's a period of mild or warm weather late in autumn or in early winter, usually characterized by clear or cloudless sky and by hazy or smoky appearance of the atmos- phere, especially near the horizon. Usually occurs in October or Novem- Der.

COMPILING COST OF PAVING
Figures Secured by Bureau of Public Roads Cover 6s,ooo,o 900 Yards
 of Work.

Average costs per square yard of va riOus types of paving for country roads have been compiled by the bu- reau of public roads, United States Department of Agriculture. The fig ures cover 6S,OOO,OOO square yards of paving constructed with federal aid in all parts of the United States dur ing the period of 1916-21. The costs per square yard are as follows: Sand clay, IS cents; gravel, 46 cents; plain and surface-treated macadam, 95 cents: bituminous macadam, S2.10; bi- luminous concrete, S2.50; plain cement concrete, S2.57; reinforced-cement concrete, S274; and brick, $40.
 These figures cover only the cost of the paving; they do not include the cost of grading, and officials point out that it must not be assumed that roads of the several types can be construct ed in any locality at these figures. For example. the cost of bituminous con crete varied from S170 in, the New England states to S313 in the group of states including Kentucky, Tennes- see, Mississippi and Alabama. In one group of states the cost of brick dropped to $40. Costs of construct ing these types in, the various groups of states have been compiled and can be obtained from the bureau.

The list of things for which paper serves grows longer; even fancy dress costumes and millinery are made of 1t and recently there has been much experimenting with paper toys.
