STYLES SWING BACK.

There are lot Of folks who
ca themselves conservatives
ana Laugh at young landlubbers
with nautically full and flappy
trousers. But let them beware
lest they open themselves to the
recounting of some dicomfitting
history.
It isn't necessary to be cen
teEarian to bear witness to the
his torical fact that the flaring
trousers and high-buttoned Jack
cts in vogue today We're copied
In their entirety from the styles
.of SO years ago. Specimens rom
tie original patterns exist in
those rural homes where the
head Of the family is using his
wedding costume for his Sunday
best. It wasn't more than a few
years ago that the well groomed
Gown boys were "guying" the
country rustics fer the same
wide trousers and short and
high buttoned coats now grac-
ing the windows Of the most ex-
elusive city tailors.
But let those who are prone
to make merry over modern
styles, whether for men or wom-
en- and to pride themselves upon
being the product of q more SEN
.sible generation of youth, heark
len back to the days Of the AS
'i5o1 L. which consumed more
silk than a shirt, and of the
Prince Albert and obsolete cut
.aways, which would precipitate
9 riot if displayed in public to-
day; and of the light gray and
bright lavender pants, which
without exaggeration would
make two pair Of the most ex-
IRENE specimens of the modern
make.
With styles in clothes coming
and going over night, it i'll be-
hooves the most conservative
Idressers to criticise or ridicule
others for the manner in which
they decorate their persons. We
may be wearing tomorrow that
which we laugh at today and,
latter all, while the city boy has
been calling his country cousin
a rube the country boy has been
calling his city cousin a boob.

The Prettiest Girl.
for peace.

There is no such thing as a
Miss America" or a Miss Can
ada" or a Miss Virginia. or a
Miss Clintwood." We have come
to this conclusion at a rather late
date because we have heard our
friends express a similar opinion
in different words. But an estab-
lished truth deserves repeating.
In fact, no committee of judges
is competent to decide who is the
prettiest girl of any nation or To-
cality. When it comes to the
beauty-contest business all the
people are judges both collective
ly and individually. We he have
had the pleasure Of either seeing
personally or viewing in pictures
one or two of these so-called
Miss Americas" and as the old
gentlemen used to say, "drat our
cats if she warn't pretty" but
there are just as pretty girls a
lot of 'em- right in and around
Clintwood.
There is no arbitrary standard
of facial beauty, tho there are
standard makes of beauty creams
and powders. To some extent
there is an established notion Of
what constitutes a beautiful form
or proportion, yet all minds do
not agree even on this point. Our
notion is that a girl is about as
beautiful as she is healthy and
pure und intelligent. The pref
tiest girl in the world is ones
own wife or daughter or sister,
mother or sweetheart. That's
all that counts anyhow when
you're sick and need nursing,
hungry and neel feeding, blue
and need consola ion, undecided
and need advice, or lonely and
need true love. Any other kind
of beauty is like a flower: it is
pretty while it lasts, but it does
not last long.
Walk down the streets of Clint
wood; or drive into the HIGHWAYS
of the country side and look into
the fair and smiling faces of our
own Miss Americas" and you
will come to the conclusion that
you don't need to go to Atlantic
City or other resort beaches to
become entranced with feminine
charms. They may be a little
fat or a little slim. Their ankles
may not measuse up to the stan
dards of long-haired artists; in
fact they may have on something
more than a bathing suit, but
"drat our cats if they aren't beau

Improved Roads Cheapest.

Although we spend millions an
nually for improving roads, only
about one farm in twelve is loca-
ted on a hardsurfaced or paved
highway. A much larger proper
ton are near enough to paved
thoroughfares to make consider
able use Of them, but even one
intervening mile Of muddy road
often makes the use of farm au-
tomobiles impossible.
Good roads used to be classed
as Injuries but such is no longer
the case. When the loss of time
incurred by rough or muddy I'M
improved roads is considered, to-
gether with the wear and tear on
vehicles, paved or hardsurfaced
roads are essential and should be
built as rapidly as possible. The
Department Of Agriculture says:
For the movement Of every
vehicle over a road there is a GER
tain cost, which is less if the road
be improved. Logically, there
fore, the only limit that should be
placed on expenditures for road
Improvement is the amount that
can be saved in vehicular opera
ting cost. The country loses more
in increased cost of operating We
hicles by not improving roads
than it does to improve them. In
other words, it pays for improved
roads whether it has them or not,
and it pays less by having them
than by not having them"
A thin waterproof wearing sur
face is being placed on existing
gravel roads in farming commu-
mites with great success and at
moderate cost.

ENORMOUS FIRE LOSSES PUEVENTADLE

Fire losses that are classed as
strictly prevsntab!e" show an
amazing figure every year. The
National Board Of Fire Under
writers gives the tc 5al Of all loss
es for the year 1875 lin round
fgures) as .5- 1900 900. But Of
this amount ,ha Eoard classe s
losses Of $242, 000,Oj Q as strictly
preventable," while the remain-
ing losses, amounting to $317,-
100000 arc placed under the head
Of partly preve liable" Evil
IDENTIFY the underwriters take the
view that no fire is strictly IN
preventable.
But now we come to the inter
esting part. Unde, The strictly
preventable' hearing we find that
the largest losses, more than 80
millions in value, are attribute j
to matches and smoking. The
next largest comes from defective
chimneys and flue3 which run up
a total Of more Jhal tWenty-one
million. Following in order Of
seriousness are stoves and fur
naces, sparks on roofs, petroleum
and its products, h)t ashes open
fires, gas, open lights, hot grease
and tar, rubbish and litter, fire
works and steam and hot water
pipes.
Controlled, it becomes a men
ace to life and property. In all
seasons great care should be ia
ken to prevent devastating fires,
But forests and growing crops
need the careful consideration
of motorist, campers and general
vacationist during the summer
months. Fire is one of the most
pitiIess and destructive elements
known. A bullet hits and stops;
water flows over and recedes; the
passions of human breasts will
subside; but fire once started null
tiplies in ever growing intensity
so long as combustible MATERIAL
lies in its path. None can be too
careful in its use.

OLD EMPEROR'S
GRAVE LOCATED
Hoo Ruled Japan From
1859 to 1274.

BIZ United Press
TOXIC, Feb. THE tomb Of EN-.
peror Kameyama Hoo. who ruled
in Japan in the days of Kublai Khan.
has been definitely located in the
ancient province Of Idzumo by scien-
fists of the Prefectural Historical
Research Commission of Shimane.
Emperor Hoo reigned in Japan
from 1859 to 1874 and his piety is
credited with saving the Empire
from being conquered by Kublia
Khan, when the great Mongol con-
querer was at the height of his
power in Pekin.
Kublai Khan. according to an an
cient legend. swore an oath that
Japan should pay tribute and come
under his rule. He sent force of
100000 men in scores of junks to
overcome the Japanese. Emperor
Hoo, terrified at the onslaught of
the conquerer, retired to a Shrine
and offered a solemn prayer for SAL
walton, declaring he would spend the
rest of his life in religious media
ton if his people could be saved.
The Japanese then went out to
battle, and aided by a great storm
off the coast of Hakata, completely
destroyed the invading force. 1t
was the last effort of the Mongol
ruler to capture Japan
