OBITUARY
VREELAND

Garrett Vreeland died early on We'd
nesday morning, May IA, 1924, at his
home, two miles east from Milford, af-
ter a very brief illness with asthma.
He was 73 years old and had practi-
calIy retired from the work of farm
ing; as he resided on a part of his
estate with his wife and raised chick
ems as advertisement, rather than for
profit. He is survived by one son,
John Vreeland, who resides on the
home farm, located on the Milford and
Milton road, and one daughter, Mrs.
John Horton, of South Walnut street.
Milford. Mr.. Vreeland was one of the
high grade citizens of Sussex county.
He was a consistent and active mem
Der of the Presbyterian Church and
active in charitable work. His mem
bership and active interest in the Mil
ford Grange has been part of its his
tory for forty years. The funeral will
be held at his late home this afternoon
at 1870 o'clock and interment will be
made in Odd Fellows cemetery.

Gated by the vast amount of work
now under way. The open winter
enabled contractors to do conside.
rable winter work especially in the
east and south and to begin much
earlier this spring. Consequently
the season is more advanced than
at this time last year. With a

building will smash all records.
According to the U. S. Bureau Of
Roads the mileage of surfaced
highways in this country is now
well over 100000 miles, of which
$4,000 miles were constructed in
1922 and 10000 miles in 1928. II
is confidently predicted that the
present season will see close to
$4,000 miles of surfaced highways
added to the country's network of
good roads. This system now en-
braces 2,S19,386 miles of highways
all told. Of the 100000 miles of
improved roads 175,OOO miles are
gravel, 100000 are macadam, 25.- |
700 are concrete, 10000 are brick. |

aSphaltic concrete and other as
phaltic types.
Due to recognition of their
shock-absorbing propensities under
heavy traffic as well as their re-
slstance to moisture and tempera-
ture changes, there has been a tre-
mendous increase the past six
years in asphalt highways. Last !
year 102,000,00O square yards of

DAILY FASHION sEryIcz =-: HAND MADE DRESS

Children's dresses of fine daint. materials are much prettier when made by hand. The seams are short and easy to sew.
 Fine needles and thread should be used-for batiste and handkerchief linen number 10 needle and 15o thread.
 In the sketch shown the underarm seams are made first. French seam is best to use and half back stitch is the best stitch. This is made with two or three small run ming stitches and backstitch.
 First sew narrow seam, wrong sides of the material together. with the seam to the right side as shown in figure one. Then trim the edges as close as is practical. Turn the garment 10 the wrong side and make another line of half backstitching which just encloses the raw edges of the first seam. (Figure twoD
 A well-made French seam shows no threads on the right side when it is finished.
