GRAVEL FOR ROAD BUILDING
Simple, Portable Apparatus Devised
TO Test Its Suitability
for Highways.

To aid the bureau of public roads,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. In giving particular attention to
the use of local material for road
construction wherever possible, q sam-
pie portable apparatus has been de-
vised for testing gravel to determine
its suitability for Concrete The de-
vice consists of two steel balls ar
ranged so that piece of gravel can
be placed on top of one of the balls
and the other ball allowed to fall
from different heights and strike the
gravel. The height of fall required to
break the gravel is an indication of
its suitability to withstand the blows
of traffic.
Heretofore there has been no salts
factory test of gravel as there has
been for stone, with the result that
in some instances more costly mate
rial has been used when suitable
gravel was available close at hand.
Along this line the bureau is conduct
ing wear tests on concrete made of
many different materials to determine
just how far 1t Is safe to go when the
quality of material is doubtful.

the jacket and the cuffs and girdle

Molyneux shows knitted jacket

Among the most luxurious of the

the fur is monkey skin. There is a
vogue for rabbit dyed to represent
squirrel, chinchilla and kolinsky on
short coats.

Short Jackets
Have the Call

Some Of the most notable successes
among clothes have had as their basis
q simple idea which must have oc-
CURED time and again to women all
over the world. but we have become SO
accustomed to waiting for the man.
dates of fashion to come from fashion
authorities that few women have the
temerity to create models, or II they
do create them they are afraid to wear
their own creations, says fashion
writer In the New York Tribune. We
have learned to wait for the cachet
of some great maker to appear on
model before we accept 1t.
Almost every woman has felt the
need of some sort of informal jacket
on the order of a sweater to wear
over lightweight, short-sleeved dresses.
There was nothing that filed this
need. especially for the summer. Most
of the smart sweaters have, for the
last few years, been made 10 slip on
over the head which practically made
1t necessary to arrange or rearrange
the hair after the garment was put
on.
Jackets Replace Coat Sweaters.
Then the sweater is such a close
fitting garment that 1t brushes the
frock; consequently, 1t Is hopeless as
a jacket to wear over anything but
plain blouse where only the collars
and cuffs show by being turned back
over the sweater neck and sleeves.
Then. too, the summer sweater usual
ly is so thin that the ugly line of
short-sleeved dress shows halfway
down the sleeve OF the sweater.
Practically every woman knew
that some sort Of jacket was needed
In place of the old-fashioned loose
coat-sweater that did such good serv-
Ice In bygone years, but she waited
patiently for the great designers In
Paris to launch this idea. Her patience
was rewarded by the clocki coats.
1t may have been that there was
no material sufficiently inspiring to
the mind of the designer until Ro-
der brought out his fabrics in bis
tered effects. This would look like
reasonable superstition, since the vari-
Gus creators of clothes selected clocki
almost simultaneously for the short
separate jackets which they succeeded
in popularizing almost over night, for
the demand for these jackets is very
great. 1t Is not to be supposed that
any one with any imaginative genius
would stop with one sort of material
for new type Of coat, so they have
gone on from this material to others

Notable among some late models In

speed Of 80 miles an hour 1t is unreal
sonable to expect the driver Of an
automobile to drive with the wheels
closer than IN feet to the edge of the
pavement, says the bureau. For trucks
at an average speed of 10 miles an
hour, this distance should not be less
than TX feet on account Of the great
width Of the rear wheel. Three feet
seems to be minimum safe clearance
between bodies. Inasmuch as GER

expected on all main country roads,

HER ENUNCIATl0N IN DANGER
Woman Was Beginning to Feel tho
Strain of Prolonged Converse
ton With Foreigners"

The Woman was visiting the family
on the event of the engagement of
the youngest daughter. The family
was Bostonian by birth and tradition,
but the two eldest girls had married
several years before and had left their
native city. One of them married
Southerner and the other a Westerner.
Each had acquired the accent Of her
particular locality and the children of
the Southern couple had a perfect
Southern drawl, while the other sis
ter's children had the broad Western
accent.
The effect was startling and the
Woman could scarcely follow the con-
versatiOn. tt almost seemed that
these sisters were from strange coun-
tries, each speaking her own tongue.
The mother of the three girls was
most confused. When she addressed
her Southern daughter she uncon-
sciously affected the Southern drawl
and when she talked to her Western
son-in-law she nearly perfected the
Western accent
In the hall later, as they were leav-
ing, the mother clutched the Woman's
arm.

of archaeology to have been buried
1000 years, were unearthed recently
by DIR. H. C. Myers, professor of chem
lstry at Whiteworth college, Spokane,
Wash, a few miles north of the city,
where some road excavating was be-
ing done.
"With the copper kettle said Doc
tor Myers, was the skull of an In
dian, wrapped in a piece of buffalo
skin. The copper was so old it had
changed to copper carbonate. This
chemical compound had been absorbed
by the skull, and it had served as a
preservative. A buckskin shirt also
was found in the kettle. A few beads
and some wampum also were secured
from the excavation"

HAVE SLANG ALL THEIR OWN
Phrases introduced by College Stu
dents Keep Modern Lexicogra-
pliers on the Jump.

When Sir f. Buiwer Lytton penned
his inspiring line on "the bright lexi-
con of YOUTH" that lexicon was an
open book to sages. But lately the
Junior lexicon has become more COM
plicated, if not brighter. 1t is a plz-
zle even to college presidents. "'Snug-
gle pupping,'" President Marion Leroy
Burton of the University of Michigan
remarked the other day, "is a phase
Of college life of which / am ignor-
ant"
No one can blame a college presi-
dent for being stumped by "snuggle
pupping." Only the youngest and most
alert photographers can hope to cope
with the campus vocabulary, and they
only if they take their duties very
seriously. "'Necking,'" writes one of
the youngest and most serious of the
junior photographers. as a Harvard
Yale-Princeton term, about six years
old, which has displaced 'petting'-
aged about twelve years-as a descrip-
ton of what our grandsires used to
call 'spooning.'"
A rule that win be helpful to elders
cropping among these complexities is
to remember that, while there are
many terms in the campus lexicons,
there is only one topic. For "snuggle
pupping" and its successors, look up
"spooning."
