Use of Sleeves for Trimming
BY ANNE RlTTENHoUsE.

PAR1S.-"If sleeves were OF no
other use under the sum-" conJectured
a we'll known designer here the other
providing somewhere to put trim
ming"
Women want trimming" says one
person. "They crave it as the savage
Graves his beads and feathers. So
often it mars the beauty and SYM
trimming can be kept off the body Of
the frock and put on the sleeves then
the line is saved. So we say that 1T
Is smart to wear trimming on the
sleeves because we are so anxious
only to keep it off the frock."
This sort of reasoning perhaps ac-
counts for the fact that very often
recently at places where smart wom-
en- are gathered the comment has
been made that sleeves were very
elaborate. Usually these trimming
bearing sleeves are long and some-
times full, but even the short sleeve
that has been revived during dog days
in Paris may serve it's purpose.
A frock that somehow reminds one
Of the belled costume Of the medieval
beige crepe de chine. There are little
plastrons OF drawnwork with black
velvet ribbon run in and out and fin
ished with large gold beads. 1t Is
the pendent gold beads that dangle
against each other that give the Jester
look.
There are three of these plastrons
one in the front below the waist and
the others on the sleeves. OF course,
the cleverness in this frock Is due to
the fact that the designer let we'll
enough alone. Your second or third
rate dressmaker would have dangled
a bell or two from the skirt and
| would have had crossings of black
velvet ribbon to relieve tho severity
Of the neckline. This is the tendency
of the woman who makes her own
frocks at home. Then. too, there is
always the devout wish to cover i'm
perfect workmanship with an applica-
| ton of trimming.
Never mind If 1t does pucker, the
| trimming will cover it up" is a re-
mark that is still heard in the home
| sewing room. Unfortunately, II one
| follows the lead of the great French
designers trimming very seldom is sc
| obliging nowadays.
The beads on this frock are gilt. but
| steel comes to lead~at the hour among
| the substances from which trimmings
/ are made. and steel balls and round
steel beads have asserted themselves
| One advantage of these metal balls Is
that when many are hung from velvet
| ribbon on a silken cord they answer
! the purpose of fringe.

DIET AND GOOD TEETH
PROPER FOOD BEFORE BIRTH
 PREVENTS BAD TEETH

WASHINGTON, D. C., November 4 Blaming the lack of bone building elements in the average diet for the increasing prevalence of tooth decay among children~in this country, Doc tor Clarence J. Grieves, in an address before the American Child Hygiene as sociation meeting here today declared that this condition could be remedied by a liberal and well balanced ration for the young or for their mothers be- fore they are born.
 Calcium and phosphorus are the principal bone and teeth building ma terials and it is the absence of these substances to which he attributes the 25 per cent of decay found in the teeth of S5 per cent of the school children of this country.
 Dr. Grieves placed especial empha- sis on the importance of the diet of the expectant mother and of the child during the first seven years of it's life.

Labor costs on federal-aid projects
under construction this year indicate
that there will be no drawback along
this line in the building of roads dur
ing the coming season, according 10
the bureau Of public roads, United
States Department Of Agriculture. The
price for common labor ranged around
25 and 30 cents an hour in great ma
Jority OF the states, being somewhat
lower in the Southern states and 60
ing up to nearly so cents an hour in
the Pacific states. The prices of
teams reported were in a great many
instances as low as the 1914 level. 1t
is probable. however, that there win
be an Increase when the farming sea-
son begins, as teams have always

Of Agricuiture.)
When the federal-aid highway sys-
tenn, provided for by the recently en-.
acted federal highway act, is COM
pleted there win be a network Of
roads 10000 miles In length covering
the whole United States. The time
required for the completion OF the
system will depend upon the rate at
which the necessary federal funds are
provided, say officials Of the bureau Of
public roads, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, which admins

An idea of what these roads will
mean to the country can be gained by
studying the effect Of roads built in
recent years and picturing what would
happen should they be torn up and
left in their former condition.
Should these roads go back to their
former state and the motor vehicles
which have come with them disappear
there would be many changes. Many
suourbanites would have to move into
the city and there would be a decrease
in value of suburban real estate.
Cities would have trouble in getting
their fresh milk and food supply.
Much farm land would decrease in
