NOVEL ROAD BUILDING PLAN
to Endure 10 to Be De-
stroyed Rapidly.

A road about a quarter of a mile
long, built as enduringly as possible,
to be destroyed as quickly as possible,
is the odd but practical basis of an
experiment now being conducted at
PIttsburg, CAL, says the Christian
Science Monitor. The road Is laid
down In the shape of race track and
is constructed Of 10 sections, each one
of different type Of concrete pave
meny. The problem Is to find out
which will last longest. A procession
of some 40 motor trucks, loaned by the
United States government, travels con-
tinuously over its surface. There are
tunnels underneath and bitches along
tbs sides from which observations of
the effect of traffic on the different
sections are being made. Sections that
weur out first are to be restored and
kept in repair until the stoutest Sec
ton, whichever 1t may prove to be, has
been destroyed. The cost of building
and wearing out the road, which is be-
ing betrayed In part by contributions
Of men, machinery and material by the
road building interests, probably VIII
run into hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. 1t is hoped, however, that the
practical information thus obtained
will more than offset its cost.

Cooperative advertising is being

calls for each dairyman and each dis
tributer to contribute one-sixth Of q
cent gallon toward fund which is
to be used to advertise the value OF
milk as food. =
One Of the arguments will be that

new quality Of silk crepe called crepe

by Rodier, has mixture Of wool and
artificial silk which gives sort Of

Rodier often uses metallic color

obtrusive, and Is usually achieved by
means of the circular cut. There is
less unevenness about the hem, many
Of the skirts being straight around.
The one-sided drapery is strong
feature even In the plainest tailored
dresses and coats; also the one-side
fastening and wide. overlapping front.
This overlapping one-side effect is also
much noted In skirts.
The Three-Piece Suit.
Tailored suits are very pronounced
In the showing of both two and three
piece effects. A great majority of the
jackets are waist length and In
straight, unbelted or slightly blousing
and belted styles. The exceptions are
incidental novelties In very short box
bolero -tyles, Chinese mandarin full
swinging coats and three-quarter
length circular-cut effects, the latter
usually trimmed with fur.
The three-piece idea is prominent.
1t expresses itself In two forms-the
smart one-piece wool dress with match
ing jacket or the crepe de chine or
satin dress with wool coat entirely
covering it, the lining of which Is
made Of the same material as the
dress.
Afternoon dresses are much more
elaborate than they were last season.
They are often made of beautiful nov
city materials; or If they are in plain
materials they are richly embroidered.
appliqued and beaded. They are in
decided contrast TO the very simple
handmade crepes which have been so
greatly In vogue.
Evening dresses are much less
decollete than in former years. Many
of them are made with a slightly
rounding or hateau neck. Some of the
evening dresses have full-length
sleeves, and it Is only the very cere-
monious type that Is extremely decol-
lete and sleeveless.

Eccentricity In detail rather than
change In form. together with an adop-
ton of extreme novelties In fabrics. a
revival of metal and the return to use
of high colors, characterizes the fash
ions for autumn and winter 1929,
writes O, fashion correspondent In the
New York Tribune.
Fashions seem to be moving toward
more stately type Of dress, as many
of the designers have gone back to the
Renaissance period for the details.
Hardly a dressmaker In Paris but
shows some leaning toward the ex-
travagances of the period of Francis
/, Henry VIII, Henry IL and on down
to the period of Louis XIII.
Here ana there the idea is caught
In the sleeve; again one sees it In the
collar and in the arrangement Of the
girdle. Very frequently 1t is the de-
sign In the fabric; again 1t is the regal
coloring, mixtures Of gold, silver, steel
and copper in fabrics which look as II
they had been hammered or wrought In
metal and not woven on looms. In
crustations of jewels. precious and
semi-precious, recall the flourishing
arts Of this sumptuous period.
Exploits Seventeenth Century Styles.
AS a variation from the Renaissance
there Is the note of the pure Venetian
styles of the Seventeenth century.
Jeanne Lanvin uses this motif, there
by holding persistently to her wide
skirt effects. She has little support.

ers. A predominance OF the slender
silhouette confirms the insignifcance
of other eccentric period styles.

from the standpoint Of novelty mate
rails and trimmings, is coming back
into her own. Not since the several
propitious seasons Immediately pre-
ceding the war has France produced
so many wonderful novelties. This
elaboration of tissues, whether 1t be
In weave or applied after the work of
the looms, will add greatly to the cost
Of fashionable clothes.
Sleeve Details Vary Silhouette.
Details of sleeves have changed con-
siderably, and 1t is in this point that
the silhouette of 1929 will express
itself largely. New sleeves are often
full length and may be large at the
wrist, elbow or throughout their full
length. Long mitten-shaped sleeves
are also much used. Many new forms
in puffed effects are seen. Sometimes
this puff breaks at the elbow; again 1t
is at the wrist. Sometimes a success
sion of flare rufiies are placed at the
elbow or on the wrist of a tight-fitting
sleeve.
Many fancy sleeves are seen on eve
ming dresses. Frequently they start
from the elbow downward, and they
are even attached at the wrist, cover
ing the hands with deep circular frills
