But just wait until you try it.
The time comes when that eternal

Learning Architecture.

Our good friend. James Bowe, was
telling me the other day the story Of
the man who lived in rented house
to whom someone gave dog. OF
course the dog had to have kennel.
The man got some old packing boxes
and made 1t himself. He had never
built anything before and making this
house for his dog gave him so much
pleasure hat he bought a small piece
of land on the outskirts of the town
and with the help of local carpenter
built a house for himself and family.
1t is likely that he would be renter
today If someone hadn't given him
that dog. Most of us are like the old
fashioned automobiles without self
starters. Someone has to crank US
before We'll run.-Forbes Magazine.

little frock that can be worn at all
most any hour of the day. and for
many and numerous occasions. The
pointed ends of the peplum are pro-
vided with tiny weights so that they
droop conspicuously. Everything must
droop. and if it can manage to sweep
down In points, why, just so much the
better for its style.
Now, there is one objection to the
gray toning of this utility garment,
and that is the perishable quality of
its delicate tone. But. of course. that
can be handled by means of diligent
cleaning. The supposed good quality
of the material is destined TO stand
any amount of wear and tear, and
sometimes it is a great relief to have
dress, not TO mention a series of
dresses, which is light in tone. 1t
then gives no hint that the color may
be a part of economy. Instead, 1t
steps away from any mundane ten
dency just by reason of its lightness
OF color and it's fragility of appear
ance.

prepared b. the United States Department
of Agrieulture)
Final series of tests on one of the
largest and most comprehensive road
experiments ever attempted began
March u. This road located at
Bates, Illinois, was designed and con-
highways under the direction of Cliff
ford Older, chief highway engineer,
with the bureau of public roads, Unit

cooperating. 1t is two miles long
and includes GO different sections rep
resenting as many different methods
and kinds of construction, having
grout and asphalt-filled brick as well
as asphalt concretes and concrete with
rolled stone bases.
Since the completion of its construc-
ton in April, 1921, a corps of engineers
has been kept busy making observa-
static and repeated loads and sub
grade conditions, thus collecting data
which when analysed viii supplement
the information necessary for the ra-
tional design of roads,
The road will now be subjected to
the final test, that of very heavy truck
traffic, for the application of which
will be used a fleet of 10 motor trucks
received by the state from the sur
plus of the War department. At first
these trucks VIII be lightly loaded,
but as the test progresses the load will
be increased until a maximum is
reached giving a 12,000-pound rear
wheel load. The results viii show
definitely the types of pavements
which can be expected to support

heavy traffic, as well as those which
will not satisfy the requirements Of
such traffic conditions as might be ex-
pected during the next 10 or 20 years.
The careful observation of the
various sections in the absence of
traffic which has formed the first part
Of the investigation, 1t is expected. will
enable the engineers to ascertain the
structural weaknesses which cause
such failures as may take place in
the traffic tests.
After the experiment has been COM
pleted, this road with It's broken Sec
tons replaced will form part of Illi-

tenance. The bureau Of public roads
will be represented by A. T. Gold

Fresh-Lookins Costume.

But If you should prefer something
dark, then by all means construct 1t
on the same lines and principles. Vary
the designs as much as you choose !;
be free in your individual interpreted
ton. There is no end to the joy you
may experience by finding yourself so
easily made the proud possessor of a
fresh-looking costume. What matter
if the foundation is not totally new !?
Who can tell the difference? You are
the only one who Is in on that secret,
and there is a certain satisfaction in
being able to fool the public so easily.
When the sharpest-eyed of your
friends says what a handsome new
gownl" and you know that she has
not recognized the old piece that
makes the skirt, you feel that you
have certainly accomplished an
achievement of sorts. And so you
have.
Women's clothes should not be an
undue expense nor anything approach
ing burden. 1t Is right that their
usefulness should be extended and the
length of their lives drawn out to
something approaching utility. And
at the same time, who wants them to
lose any of their beauty and charm
and femininity? Surely not the wom-
an who wears them. They would
hang on to these attributes at all
other sacrifices. They must be beau
tiful. But they can be beautiful and
practical, too. They can be sensible
to the tune of charm, If only their
owners will study the ways and means
by which to accomplish this end artis-
tically.

ROADS PAY DIVIDENDS

A wagon with load of 5000
pounds required an average
draft Of 108 pounds on a gravel
road In dry condition, in a re-
cent test ut the Missouri College
of Agriculture. The same load
on a dry clay road required a
draft Of 321 pounds. This shows
the great variation in the work
done in hauling and in the size
of load a team can handle, says
j. G. Wooley, chairman of the
agricultural engineering depart
ment, which conducted this test.
The gravel roads prove their
value even more completely I'M
der spring conditions. This load
on the same roads after heavy
rain required a draft Of $50
pounds on the gravel, and 372
pounds on the clay. This is only
one Of the many advantages Of
fered by all-the-year roads.

In the New colors.

1t is an interesting feat to develop
these many-in-one dresses in some
of the newer colors with accompany
ing blouses and sashes chosen to con-
trast happily. Three of the noticeable
new colors are mauve, cyclamen and
orange. Orange appears strongly as
lining of coat or as blouse. Cy-
clamen and mauve are usually seen in
trimmings and Innings. Dresses and
costumes, as whole, are of neutral
shades. Here and there a colored cos

world. Then why not take notice Of
the dress that makes three? Or 1t can
make more-many more. And the
foundation may carry on remarkably
from season TO season. You will like
the sensation of having a frock which,
merly by an addition, may be trans
formed into something that at least
looks new. And after while you
will find yourself in that state of
mind where you will automatically
plan new portions of dresses instead
of whole ones. You will find yourself
slipping into this many-in-one idea
SO naturally that you will wonder you
ever lived without so helpful gar
ment.
This Is assuming that you have
never owned one. But If you already
have one, you cannot but welcome
ideas to bring 1t strictly up to date.
There are ways and ways of help
Ing it to rejuvenate itself and live on
to enjoy longer and more useful life.
The Foundation Slip.
There is foundation slip made of
the softest of silvery gray crepe in
the heaviest of qualities. There is
the becoming bateau neckline duly
corded for a finish. There are the
long, graceful armholes, carded, too,
which finish that portion of the mod
ern and strictly accepted evening
frock.
The girdle arrangement, to be sure,
is of the handmade origin. 1t Is beau
tifully designed, made and put to-
gether. Its color of vermilion, yell
low, mauve and green are so artistic
ally blended that 1t becomes at once
the center of interest around which
the rest of the gown seems to gather
as a mere means of setting off the
waistline trimming.
For rather informal little after
noon dress, there is this same slip
worn over a simple camisole of gray
chiffon, with its wide, long and waving
sleeves sliding through the wide arm
holes. The sleeves are embroidered
in patches of vermilion, so that the
heaviness of the trimming serves to
give them extra weight and 70 add a
certain gracefulness to the filminess
of their texture.
Frook With overblouse.
BY the addition Of this simple little
underbodice the frock becomes suited
for another set of occasions. 1t
changes, in fact, from an extremely
dress-up affair to one that is only par
TALLY dressed up. 1t takes its place,
In other words, just as naturally
among one class as it does In the
other. And no one could imagine upon
seeing the two dresses, one at one
time, and one at another, that they
had as their origin and the chief of
their makeup one and the same
foundation slip.
Then there is the other frock--the
one with the overblouse Of printed
chiffon worn over the original gray
slip. OF course, the mingled colors
In the printed fabrics are chosen to
accentuate the gray and to bring out
the silvery tones. In this case they
are soft pastel shades-alm all of
those in-between colors-and the soft
ribbons, crushed together to make the
sash, are three in number, taken to
match three Of the pastel tones In the
printing of the chiffon.
This makes graceful and informal

Unnecessary Practice.

Oiling concrete road or any prop
erly surfaced highway is not only q
nuisance to the public, but is lament
able waste OF natural resource, says
III. H. Franklin, who claims that the
oiling system, a hold-over from the
experimental days. is no longer nec-
essary and should be abandoned.

tune takes the eye. One is in mus
tard yellow cloth. with black satin
and white organdie. The black satin
shows as an under-petticoat and

touch Of freshness to the throat and
