10000 MILES
Of ROAD

Law Will Require is to
20 Years More.
By J. L. MEDDOFF,

Ten Thousand miles of road were
completed in the United States
during the last year in conjunc-
ton with Federal aid as part OF
the Governments program Of build
ing system of highways in this
country SURPRISING those of all
other nations.
The selection Of the roads to
compose the system of Federal
aid highways, which will reach
into practically every county Of
the United States. is progressing
rapidly, the Bureau Of Public Roads
Of the Agriculture Department
states.
The system is being outlined In
accordance with the requirements
OF the Federal Highway act, which
contemplates system Of highways
to be built with Federal aid such
as no other nation has ever pos
sessed and which, once built, will
be continuously maintained in SER
viceable condition. 1t is declared.
Eighteen feet viii be the mini
mum width of roadway unless con-
ditions justify, In which event spe-
ciaI approval must be given. The
system win consist OF not more
than Z per cent Of the total road
mileage, three-sevenths Of which
viii be primary or interstate high
ways, and the remainder secondary
or intercounty highways. The
total milage of primary and Sec
ondary roads viii be approximate
ly 1877 900 miles.
From the present outlook" says
the bureau, ''it is thought that this
program of road construction viii
cover a period OF from is to 20
years Many States viii complete
their mileage IN much shorter time.
as they have included in the sys-
tenn, q considerable mileage of inn
proved road. They win then en-
large the Federal aid system by
including additional mileage.
when the system Is complete
the total improved road mileage of
the country viii be far greater
than the $4,000 miles included
in the system. How much greater
IT is hard to say, but in all the
States the SYSTEM has been out
lined, keeping in mind that State
roads Independent Of Federal aid
win connect with it"

official fuss and feathers.
The duke has no property. His al
lowance of $4,000 a year from the
state was increased to $4,000 to-
day. His bride has no fortune,
either, so the couple will have to
keep up their princely rank and per-
form all their public duties out of
the princes official allowance.
The duchess is the type of pretty
girl who often does not take good
picture. She's not very tall, has
dark hair and deep blue eyes and the
pink complexion that is her heritage
from her Scotch blood. She is well
read, sings a bit, plays the piano,
COLTS only slightly, but is a keen
dancer and tennis player.
The Have Ticknames
All Britain which was so pleased
when Princess Mary became the wife
of Lord Lascalies, is tickled to death
over the marriage of Berry and
Betty.
Berry" is the Duke of York, the
second son Of the King Of England.
Betty" is Lady Elizabeth Eoros-
Lyon, youngest daughter Of the
Earl of Strathmore.
The nicknames are What thsy call
each other.
The loyal Britisher is pleased not
only because once more one of the
kings children is choosing a Briton
as a life partner, but also because
the 28-year-old duke had to pop the
question three times before he land
ed the girl.
They had met years ago at a kids
party when Lady Elizabeth was 6
and Prince Albert u.
They met frequently after that
because the girl was one of those
chosen by Queen Mary as a com.
panion and schoolmate of Princess
Mary. Naturally, she was one of

ROYAL PAIR WE'D IN

Duke of York Takes Lady Bowes-

Greeted Young Couple

LONDON, April 26.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press.) - Prince Albert,
Duke of York, was united in mar
riage with Lady Elizabeth Bowes-
lyon in solemn old Westminster
Abbey at noon with pomp and pan
oply, reminiscent of the spacious
days of the mid-Victorian era, amid
tumultuous demonstrations of the
vast throngs that gathered under the
threatening skies to witness the we'd
ding pageant.
AS the cortege entered the Abbey
slight drizzle of rain fell, but soon
afterward the sun broke through the
clouds and as the royal pair made
their exit they were greeted with
brilliant sunshine, recalling the old
saying that happy IS the bride that
the sun shines on"
This was the second time in little
more than a year that the king and
queen Of England gave one Of their
children in wedlock to a person out
side the realm of royalty.

Two are relatives of the royal fam
lly' Lady Mary Cambridge, daugb-
ter of the Marquis of CAMBRIDGE
and Lady May Cambridge, daughter
OF the Earl of Athlone. They grew
up with the kings children.
Lady Katharine Hamilton is the
daughter of the Duke of Abercorn

York and his bride-to-be were guests
Lady Mary Thyme is the daugh-
ter of the Marquis of Bath.
The Hon. Elizabeth Elphinstone.

hon. Cecilia Bowes-Lyon, daughter
of Lord Glamis, are nieces of the
bride. They will be the kids in the
bridal party, being IL and II re-

Hon. Diamond Hardinge is the
daughter of Lord Hardinge of Pens
hurst. While her father was British
ambassador at Paris, she acted as
the official hostess.
Schoolmate Chosen.
The eighth bridesmaids name
came as surprise to English peo-
pie. She is Betty Gator, daughter
Of John Gator, a former member of
Parliament. She is the only one of
the eight bridemaids who hasn't a
courtesy title. She is an intimate
school friend of the bride and they
made their debut together.
Three of the bridesmaids, withsthe
present bride, acted in a. similar
capacity at the wedding of the
Princess Mary. They are Lady
Mary Cambridge, Lady May Cam

skirt is scalloped and eyed with a
narrow blue ruching.
There is a gray silk cloak to go
with this and toque of gray and
blue flowers.
Another evening gown is of white
georgette trimmed in her fayorite
blue-Eetty blue-and with long
wing draperies Of georgette to take
the place of sleeves.
One of her walking suits is Of rich
deep brown wool marocaiQEvith high
Medici collar and wide ewes all
worked with wool stitcheryRnd ac-
companied by small hat Of fine
brown straw trimmed with ostrich
feathers.
One little frock to be worn on af-
ternoons or senli-evening occasions is
of periwinkle blue crepe ROMAN.
The petal skirt is picot edged. Four
tiny tucks at either side form the
bodice decorations and the belt is a
narrow plat Of twisted crepe, self
colored, which is tied at the back.
Lingerie Is Simple
A great deal of the brides linger-
lie has been made right in her own
home under the supervision of her
mother, Lady Strathmora.

with pearl beads, pearls and silver
lame.
The gown will fall almost straight
from the shoulders to the hem, fol-
lowing the lines Of the figure more
or less closely above the waist, but
getting fuller toward the hem. The
skirt viii touch the toes.
Machine-made Lace
The ivory tone has been chosen to
match the lace, which has been made
especially at Nottingham. Lady Eli
zabeth will be the first royal bride
to wear machine-made lace. 1t is
perfect reproduction of an old Ma
lines pattern.
This lace will be used for the medi-
eval sleeves, covering the arm as far
as the elbow. The lower half of the
arm is bare, but the lace falls in two
long ends to the ground at the back.
For embroidery there are three
bands of silver lame across the bod
ice and a central one that is contin-
ucd down the front of the skirt.
This silver is partly covered both
on the bodice and the skirt with a
conventional design carried out in
pearls, pearl beads and fine silver
thread, the hard lines Of the lame be-
ing softened by tiny scrolls of silver
thread each centered with a pearl on
either side.
Old lace worn by the queen at her
wedding will form the train of the
wedding gown. This will be mounted
on chiffon.
A tulle veil mounted with wreath
of orange blossoms will complete the
costume.
Romantic Touch
One romantic item of the trous'
seau is a strip of priceless old rose
point Brussels lace which is to be in
serted in the wedding dress.
1t has been an heirloom in the
Strathmore family for generations.
An ancestress of the bride wore it at
a great ball given for "Bonnie Prince
Charlie when he was staying at the
Hollywood palace in Scotland.
Bridemaids' Dresses
In keeping with the lovelincss Of
the brides gown will be the dresses
worn by her bridemaids, They will
be made of cream chiffon.
In the trimming the bride has de-
fed all old superstitions about the
unluckiness of green.
A silver and rose thistle will fast
on the girdIe Of silver leaves from
which a trail of spring green tulle
at one side will trail the ground.
The symbolism of the rose and the
thistle was the brides own poetic
idea. The white rose stands for
YORK and the thistle is a reminder Of
her own Scotch descent.
The bridemaids' dresses will be
mounted on a foundation &C crepe de
chine hemmed with narrow Noting
ham lace On the narrow overskirts
Of the chiffon will be floating panels
decorated with silver lame leaves.
Long ends of chiffon win fall from
pretty headdresses OF silver leaves
