STRETCH OF MODEL HIGHWAY
Ideal Section Of Lincoln Road Under
Construction In Lake County,
Indiana, Near Chicago.

A stretch Of model road. to be known
as the ideal section of the Lincoln
highway, is under construction in Lake
county, Indiana, to the southeast Of
Chicago.
Besides 40-foot road bed ten inches
thick, designed to carry heavy traffic,
provisions are made for Identification
of the roadside in boulevard. fashion.
A lighting system is to be Installed.
The entire cost will range approx
mately 100000 mile.
This strip Of roadway is centrally
located, as far as traffic on the Lincoln
highway is concerned, and is intended
to serve as a model for the gradual
evolution of the entire route as traffic
volume increases. THE Lincoln High
way association will provide the funds
required over the usual costs per mile.

Street Clothes
d. n. for Cool Days

This is the time Of year when all
clothes, no matter how elegant and
how perfectly in repair they may be,
look shabby and old to their owners
Something new Is the cry Of the mo-
ment.
We are not quite ready for winter,
we are not quite through with sum-
mer, but we are ready for a new
frock of some sort or other, says a
fashion writer in the New York Times.
We see hints of new styles and we
feel like members of an old-fashioned
era as we walk upon the streets in
short skirts. We actually need. for
our peace of mind, new frock of
some sort or description.
Well. there are any number of be-
tween-season frocks which will answer
this purpose admirably. and this sea-
son more than ever before 1t seems
they are appearing in great album
dance. There are the printed silks, the
costume blouses, the short, fiaring
coats, the circular cut crepe dresses.
All or any of these are satisfactory
for wear upon the street while the
weather Is In that uncertain condition
between warm and coll, and when we
just can't possibly bear to wear our
summer toys for another day.
Made With Flaring Lines.
The short coats are, perhaps, the
sensation Of the season. They have
been adopted with great zeal by those
who lead the fashions In America.
There seems every reason to suppose
that their popularity will go right on
for many months to come. They have
their distinct economical advantages
as well as their artistic merits In
their favor. They can be combined
with a partially worn skirt, provided
it Is long CROUCH for smartness and
they can be combined with one-piece
frocks with the most startling effect
of newness. f,,e ~
These little coats are sometimes
made with flaring lines, at other times
they are made to fit closely over the
hips. But they are always short for
coats, while possibly they might be

made along the flaring lines which In
Paris have been more popular. Coats
of this variety are coming into our
styles and we find them, on the smart
women, looking most ravlshing. Some
of them are made of suede; others are
composed of those heavy, new, EN-
broidered woolen materials; some of
them are made of wool brOcades.
Again, you will find them made of
heavy silks and duvetines. All are
lined with brightly colored silks. SO
that the Innings become part of the
coats, even If they do not actually fold
over on to the surface OF the coats
to form an obvious band of trimming.
Another coat Is made of suede
finished material which is really a
glorified duvetine Its color Is deep
chocolate brown and 1t is made with
a vide and rolling collar that buttons
closely under the throat. There are
four dark brown shiny buttons ar
ranged along one side where the coat
closes. At the bottom Of the little
jacket there is band of lighter
brown duvetine material arranged to

One phase of the investigation shows
that there is great difference in the

of surfacing, the amount being more
than twice as great on some of the

the power required to overcome the
road resistance Is not proportional to
the speed of the vehicle, and after
certain speed is reached increases
very rapidly.
The investigation when complete

INAcrioN OF FRANCE.
STATE DEPARTMENT. SERENE
Believes Paris Will Ratify the Pacts
Some Day and That Italy, Belgium,
Portugal and the Netherlands Will
Follow Suit. Bfl H5f
BY JAMES P. HoRNApAY

Washlngton.-The State department
asserts that 1t is not worried over the
failure of all the governments that
participated in the ornaments con-
ference to ratify the treaties agreed
on at that conference, but good many
persons outside the State department
are continuing to ask questions about
the unexplained delay. 1t will be a
year November u since the armament
conference met. The United States,
Japan, Great Britain and China have
ratified all the treaties to winch they
are parties. France has referred the
treaties to committee of her senate
and the State department is without
dependable information as TO when
this committee is likely to report.
Italy, Belgium, Portugal and the
Netherlands have not touched the
treaties. The governments informa-
tion is that they are waiting on France.
Eome day, 1t is assumed here, France
will ratify and the State department
has every reason to believe that Italy,
Belgium, Portugal and the Neither
lands will not deaos action long after
the French ratification. Then what Is
known in diplomatic parlance as 1.-The
exchange of ratifications" will take
place, and the treaties will be in force.
In spite of the optimism In the State
department with respect to the delay
In completing ratification, there has
been for long time and continues to
be good deal of quiet comment to
the effect that the United States Is
being punished for her refusal to par
ticipate in the affairs of Europe. 1t
is undoubtedly true that when the con-
ference treaties were agreed on here
the European nations represented in
the conference expected to see the Uni
ted States warm up toward the Eu-
ropean problem. The British, French
and Italian statesmen undoubtedly be-
lieved when they agreed to the treaties
that the United States would take rep
resentation on the PREPARATION commits
sion. The. European statesmen also
believed, until they heard from the
United States to the contrary, that
this government would participate In
the Genoa conference.

new something needed for the ward
robe, one cannot make mistake In
buying one of these with becoming
lines and contour.
The blouses that are partially coats
In design are made with wide sleeves
lin some instances with extremely
wide sleeves-and they are always
long wasted, with wrinkles about the
normal waistline, and often with dis
tinct bloused lines arranged over the
hips. Usually there Is wide band
at the hips, and often there Is
buckle to fasten 1t snugly on one side.
With the plated skirt we have the
practical long lines Of the latest idea
In a costume blouse. You can find
them in all Of the shops, or you can
have them designed for your own sep
arate individuality. They are hand
some or they are commonplace. But
the jacquette blouse Is the thing, and
you will make no mistake If you decide
to have one Of them for use between
seasons.
Some Trimmed With Fur.
Some of these outside or outdoor
blouses are trimmed with fur In the
most fascinating manner. There are
bands of fur about the hips. and there
are bands of fur across the sleeves,
wide or narrow, as the case may be.
! Then, there Is often a fur collar.
After all this fur trimming has been
applied you have something which
looks more like coat than 1t does
like blouse, and which, at the same
time, is light enough for wear during
the between-season months which, in
a climate of this sort, last for a good
part of the year. Another advantage
In this sort of costume is that it can
be tucked under top coat when the
cooler days come along. and after that
outer wrapping Is removed you are
clothed In something that has every
semblance of being a dress. SO, you
| see, you cannot make any mistake
about purchasing one of these blouses
They promise to last through great
many months and will be as good for
one purpose as another.
II you wish to have your own
blouses made, you can find the hand
soonest sorts of materials In the shops.
They have silk surfaces and wool
backs. They are covered with en-
broidery; they are a mass of machine
stitching making intricate and inter-
esting patterns. They are rich and
luxurious in many ways and have
every semblance Of being either
blouses or coats according to the de-
/ mands Of the activities of your day.
Then there are the printed silks.
They are much more beautifully pat
termed than they have been at any
time during the past Also, they are
done on heavier qualities Of silks. For
these dresses you need nothing at ali
except the silk itself. 1t is sufficient
to make the design that Is needed, but

Why France Delays.

It Is admitted here In official quar-
tiers that France can hold up the ex-
change of Publications Indefinitely, If
she has a mind to do 1t. The official
view, however, Is that France has been
80 engrossed with the European stu
alton as it affects her that she has not
had time to think of the Washington
treaties. II was assumed when the
arms conference adjourned that the
treaties would all be ratified within
three or four months, and that under
the provisions of the treaty limiting
naval armament. the powers would be
put on a new naval basis by midsum-
mer of this year. The United States,
Great Britain and Japan, without wait
ing for formal ratification of the treaty
limiting naval ornaments, have taken
steps to carry out the provisions of
that treaty, but the great work Of
wrecking battleships will not begin I'M
til the treaty is ratified by France
and Italy. Portugal, Belgium and the
Netherlands are not parties to the ma
val treaty
The delay in completing the work
of ratification Is upsettlng some Of the
campaign plans which the Republican
national committee had made. 1t was
proposed to have the campaign liter
allure say a great deal about the work
of the arms conference, and campaign
speakers we're to have been instructed
to dwell on the completed work of this
conference as one of the great assets
of the Harding administration. The
conference will not be ignored by the
campaign managers, but as long as the
treaties are unratified they will have
to be careful about laying too much
stress on the work Of the conference
Two Proposed French Reservations.
Assuming that France ratifies, two
reservations unacceptable to the other
powers are proposed. Ratification with
these would be equivalent to rejec
