COMPILING COST OF PAVING
Figures Secured by Bureau of Public
Roads Cover 100000 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,OO0 square yards of
paving constructed with federal aid
In all parts of the United States dur
ing the period of 1862. The costs
per square yard are as follows: Sand
clay, is cents; gravel, 46 cents; plain
and surface-treated macadam, 90
cents; bituminous macadam, $2.10; BIZ
luminous concrete, $3.50; plain cement
concrete, $2.57; reinforced-cement
concrete, $2.74; 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 $1.70 in the New
England states to $3.13 in the group
of states including Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Mississippi and Alabama. In one
group of states the cost of brick
dropped to $2.40. Costs of construct
ing these types in the various groups
of states have been complied and can
be obtained from the bureau.

PRETTY FOR SUMMER FROCKS
Feature, Enhance the Beauty Of
Mladys Skirt.

Pretty little embroidered medallions
are TO be used on frocks this summer.
One finds them mostly with little frills
Of the material gathered or pleated
about them, and the material itself
forming the base of the pretty thing.
Upon the material Is an embroidered
motif, preferably by hand. When a
frill is not used for frame the me
dallion can have a binding of material
in contrasting color, possibly color
to match the color of the embroidery.
The medalllons are used principally
upon frock skirts. Picture, for ex-
ample, yellow and white gingham in
the tiniest checks ornamented with
oval medallions, frllled, having In the
center tiny baskets of flowers cross
stitched In black.

Paris Dressmakers Predict Frocks,
capes and Shoes Are to Be Of
Matching Shades.

The return to simple organdle
dresses, with extended hips, as In the
days of Louis XIV, is promised by
the big Paris dressmakers, who are
displaying their midsummer models.
These period" dresses all have the
appearance of old-fashioned crinoline,
but can be worn without corsets, an
element In women's dresses regarded
as absolutely essential to the proper
effect of dress in the time Of Louis
XIV.
Having decided that frocks must
have capes to match, fashion creators
have decreed that shoes must now be
worn to match. the cape and dress.
Paris shoemakers, therefore, have be-
gun the manufacture of summer shoes
Of all shades, brick red, oyster and
beige being the three colors most In
demand.
Under this new dictum of fashion,
women this summer, to quote one Paris
dressmaker, will be symphonies In
one color" There will be no mixture
or blending of colors. Every woman
will have gown, cape, stockings and
shoes of the same shade.
Dressmakers now feel they will be
amply compensated for the long reign
of black, whose vogue made the WON
ans wardrobe some so per cent cheap
er than 1t is today.

Battenberg Rings.

Those old Battenberg rings that
have been discarded so long have a

cred with red wool and hung from the
slit opening Of dark blue canton

rings have possibilities for trimming
the sport hats or making a girdle.
Their success all depends upon pref

with dark blue silk, why not run q

girdle?

FEDERAL. HELP STRENGTHENS
Much More Accomplished for Country
Than Simply Provide Funds
for Construction.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agricuturel
Federal aid has 0one a great deal
more for the country than simply to
provide funds for road construction,
according to the bureau of public roads
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. One of the most far
reaching results has been its influence
in placing the greater part of the high
way work of the country in the hands
of experienced engineers Of state high
way departments.
In 1915, prior to the federal-aid act.
20 per cent of the road work was done
by agencies other than state high
way departments, most of 1t by county
officials. Such system was bound to
be wasteful. Overhead costs were
high. engineers were not always en-
ployed, systems to serve the best in
terests of the state as whole were
not developed. and the opportunities
for corruption were greater.
With the passage of the federal-aid
act of 1915 and the insistence of the
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1922-07-14

government upon the construction of
federal-aid roads under the supervision
of state departments, existing state
highway departments were enlarged
and strengthened, and In IL states
adequate departments have been crea-
ted where there had been none or the
existing one was not properly equipped
to perform necessary functions.
With adequate departments the work
has been shifted to their control until
at the present time they supervise
more than go per cent of the road
work. This assures to the taxpayer
the services of engineers trained In
road work, centralized authority re-
sponsibe for the expenditure of funds,
and far-sighted plan of development
and financing.

Agree On Skirts
Paris Artists Say Ankle
Length Is Correct.
Designers Vote for Moderately Full
Garment Which Permits View
of the Ankles.

AT the races we have seen the "War
IF Skirts" illustrated, writes a Paris
fashion correspondent in the Boston
Globe. Skirts of all lengths and al
most all widths have been worn, and
by the smartest women. A really
serious protest has been made in
Paris, and in London, against long
walking skirts which would be GER
tain to catch up dust or mud.
When the Paris designers say "full
ankle length" they describe a skirt
which comes very near the ground in
deed. In fact, it sweeps the ground
when one steps off footpath into the
street.
In London the protest has taken
serious form. All the best-known ar
tists-painters, black and white de-
signers. etc, have joined in the battle
and II Is little difficult to see what
the end will be.
In Paris, the leading dressmakers
simply smile. They say "long skirts
will be worn in Paris-therefore, they
will surely be worn all over the world
by fashionable women"
l must say that from personal OBJ
servation at the most fashionable race
meetings that the moderately short
skirt-and by that mean one which
clears the ankles-is much more be-
coming to the average woman than
the dress which almost hides the feet.
