TRAFFIC CENSUS OF TRUCKS
information as to Speed and Size Of
Average Vehicle Obtained in
New England.

Bow large Is the average truck and
how fast does 1t travel? This question
and others of interest to truck owners
and users of the highways are an
swered by information obtained in
recent traffic census taken by the bu-
reau of public roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, on one OF
the most Travelled highways in New
England. The census discloses that
40 per cent of the trucks were of l ton
capacity or less; 33 per cent between
l and 21s tons; per cent between
21s and tons; and that less than 2
per cent of the trucks were Of more
than 5 tons capacity.
On a level stretch of road, over
which the speed of motor vehicles
was timed, 1t was found that more
trucks Travelled at speed of 20 miles
an hour than at any other rate. Thir-
ty-seven per cent travelled 20 miles
an hour or faster. One truck, whose
driver said he was in a hurry to get
there, was found to be travelling at
speed of As miles an hour.

Self Fabric Decorations Now Bloom.
ing in Charming Profusion on
Many Types of Frocks.

The only surprising thing about the
great vogue for frocks trimmed solely
with flowers made of self fabric, which
have begun recently to bloom in charm
ing profusion. is that the coutouriers
had not realized their charming posi-
bilities before notes fashion writer
in the Kansas City Star. Flowers,
along with laces and frills and ribbons
and other dainty intimate things are
such an alluring and essential part Of
the frivolities with which femininity
decks itself.
These soft, simple, graceful frocks,
with only the shy appeal of garland
or mass of these handmade flowers
contrast delightfully."- and restfully with
the elaborate and more exotic gowns
TO which we have become accustomed
for some time since. 1t is not far
cry from the dainty, tiny satin rose
buds which have long adorned the
dance frocks of the young girl to the
huge and fluffy chrysanthemums and
dahlias which now encircle the waist
line of frock as its sole trimming.
The flowers are very often Of the
same color of the material, making fol
far smarter and more subtle effecI
than IL the contrasting color were
used, though this is probably contrar,
to ones first thought on the matter
One of the loveliest types of frocki
seen this season Is the ail-white frocl
OF clinging chiffons or soft silk witt
water lilies defining the waist line al
the way around.
J These flowers are made by rolling
the edges of slender strips Of Waterial

GOOD
HIGHWAYS
GRADING AND PAVING ROADS
Average Figures for Whole Of United
States Given Out by Bureau OF
Public Roads.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrcuture.)
What part of the cost of road goes
into grading and structures that are
more or less permanent, and what part
goes into the paving, which may
eventually wear out?
This question is answered fully by
statistics compiled by the bureau Of
public roads of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture on 1850 com
pleted federal-aid roads, involving T.
500 miles of road. at total cost Of
$112O00,000. OF the total cost, 81 per
cent went into grading, ID per cent
into structure 81 per cent into paw
ing, and per cent for engineering
These are the average figures for the
whole of the United States, but there
is considerable variation in different
sections.
In the Middle Atlantic states,
where grading Is net heavy and paving
must be built for heavy traffic, the
cost of the paving rises to rs per cent
and the grading and structures fall to
10 per cent and 0 per cent, respective
ly.
In the Mountain states the prob
lem is very different, much of the
work being new construction with
heavy grading, and the highest type

CAPES ANDWRAPS
Outer Garment Now Is important
Part of Wardrobe.
Earliest Morning Until Late
at Night.

In Paris the wrap has come to be
most important part of the ward
robe. For the newer long, loose dresses
something of the sort is always neces-
sary for an outer covering, and lately,
notes a Paris fashion correspondent,
the French woman has been rather
liking the cape in preference to the
coat or the suit.
There is something so genuinely
graceful about the wrap-so feminine
and so charming. Is 1t any wonder
that French women appreciate its
llnes?-it makes them so much more
beautiful when it graces their forms.
The capes and the cape wraps of
the new season are more numerous
than ever and, in spite of the threat
that suits would take their place, there
seems no immediate danger of that
change taking place. There are wraps
for all hours of the day, from earliest
morning until late at night. And each
of them has it's distinct character-its
own way of expressing the feeling of
the occasion.
Many capeS are made In That vo-
luminous manner Of heaping thinness
upon thinness until 1t becomes a COM
position of varied shadings. Some are
trimmed with large handmade flowers
and with wreaths of smaller blossoms.
Then some are covered in places with
paillettes to make them glitter in com
petition with the evening gowns they
are used to cover.
Numerous capes of silk crepe are
to be seen among the Paris openings.
Some of them, in the wrapped style,
are provided with girdles, and others
have only their collars of some differ
ent material or trimming to make
them notable. One interesting wrap
is made of black serge and has huge
sleeves composed of black MORE.
The capes for afternoon wear are
very apt to be made of crepe de chine
in one of the heavier varieties, and
most of them are black. One of these
has a collar that is formed of many
layers of malines all punched together
to make a picturesque framing for
the face.

TREES FOR STATE HIGHWAYS
n Planted so or go Feet Apart They
Will Not Harm Roads and Will
Add Pleasure.

The Minnesota forestry department
In the capitol at st. Paul Is offering
nut trees for planting on the high
ways of Minnesota. The planting Of
these state highways with shade, orna-
mental or fruit trees should be begun
at once. If the road is properly made
so that it drains well and the trees are
set so or go feet apart they will not
harm the roads In the least and will
add much to the pleasure Of driving
along them In the future Leroy

The Ears Are Revealed.

A new thing in hairdressing as in
terpreted by the French is the fringed
bang over the ears. This little bang
is the most extreme feature in hair
dressing at the present time. Both
high and low hairdressings are worn
with it, although the preference is for
the high dressing. The hair is drawn
back rather smoothly and the ears are
revealed.

A .Taffeta Frock.

New jaunty ways to trim the spring
taffeta frock are band effects of ribbon
or velvet. Graduated black velvet or
alternate narrow widths are pretty
on blue taffeta. while colored ribbon,
an inch or half-inch wide, in rich rain
bow or orange and henna shades
makes a stunning oriental effect on
brown. Skirts and bell sleeves are
thus decorated.

Fine Saying ofsDionysius.

It seemed to me that the finest quo
tation of all, so far as its application
to the present day is concerned, is one
from Dionysius who, although not by
any means altogether fine character,
was a patron of literary men and ar
lists, and aspired to literary fame. The
quotation is this:
"The foundation of every state is
the education of it's youth"
In the library civilizations progress
is shown in section of the dome in
which are represented symbolically
the efforts of twelve nations to con-
tribute to educational progress, and
with this symbolic representation is
another showing the epochs in which
knowledge made rapid strides through
the endeavors of the people.
The representations are those of
Egypt, Judea. Greece, Rome, Islam
The Middle Ages, Italy, Germany

The first win was chalked up at
