Gains in Highway Construction Are Seen,
With Motor Taxes Bearing Brunt of Cost

der the prudent policies which have
kept the tax per car at reasonable
rate, the total taxes now paid by motor
lists provide the fiscal authorities with
very large part of the sums necessary
to care for road bond issues as we'll as
to care for the cost of maintenance
which is essential to protect the public
interest in the roads"
There is little reason to doubt that
the public will continue to vote large
sums for road improvement" he added,
80 long as it can be assured that funds
are intelligently expended"
Cooperation Is Sought.
Stamping the cooperation which
exists between Federal and State au-
thorities as deserving OF the highest
praise, Mr.. Chaplin advocated co-opera-
tion between State and county and To-
cal Jurisdictions in the development of
both secondary and metropolitan high
way areas. He also advocated sys-
tenn of highways, classified as to traf-
fic requirements, with limited mileage
of roads to take care of the heavy
traffic in industrial areas, where the
movement is great, coupled with a

Forecasting a large net annual in
crease not alone In the number OF
motor vehicles now on the road but in
the mileage which each car will travel,
Roy D. Chaplin, chairman of the high
ways committee of the National Auto
mobile Chamber Of Conmrece, recent
ly told members of the American Asso-
citation of State Highway Off1cials that
"the urgent public demand for large
highway programs" continues unabated
on all sides.
During the present year." he said,
I'VE will produce around 4,600.000 new
vehicles, of which considerably more
than 10 per cent will go into 130 coun-
tries. Of the rest, large part repre-
sent replacements. but there is still
and will continue to be a large in
crease in new orders. Year by year
the number of families having two or
more cars is increasing, while the far
mer and business man are constantly
adding to their motor equipment"
Stronger Highways Needed.
Sketching the need for roads, Mr..
Chapin called attention to the demand
for wider and stronger highways in
those areas where work has been under
way for long time. He also stressed
the requirements of the. farmer as
well as the call for many miles of low
cost high speed highways IN regions
where distances are great and the popu-
lation is sparse. Elimination of grade
crossing and the further development
of secondary and public land roads
were pointed to as essential.
During the past several years" he
said, because Of surplus of funds
appropriated in advance of construc-
tion, the Federal Government has been
expending more funds annually in high
way aid than the annual authorize
ton of $75,000,000, taken alone, would
support. That surplus reservoir Is now
all but exhausted and it is necessary
that future sums allotted to this work
shall be increased unless the improve
ment of roads of national Importance
is to be slowed down."
Remarking that the public knows def
initely that 1t cannot afford to be with
out roads and is determined they shall
be built, Mr.. Chapman said that "url-

Because Of the high wages de-

lower of Jesus and a lover of mod
ern science at the same time is
frankly discussed in The New
science and the Old Religion by
DIR. Thornwell Jacobs. president of
OgIethorpe University, published
bv the Oglethorpe University Press.
The volume has the distinction
of being the first ever printed on
the presses of university by its
own students, written by one of its
own faculty, and used as text in
tie own class rooms. The book
will be the first OF series on sig
,ificant phases of modern life.
This book represents a splendid
effort to reconcile the known find
inps of modern science with the
essentials of the Christian religion
This is accomplished by tracing
tha steps in evoIution-stellar. ply

cal and theological--and then dis
cussinS their effects upon the in

Two Minutes a Week Saves
Costly Plumber Bills and
.Torn-up Floors

Slow running drain pipes are the
most aggravating of nuisances-except
atorn.up floor and plumber bills. Both
are unnecessary. Both can be avoided
thanks to Red Seal Lye.
Two m:-:utes does it, once q week.
Just shake !; small quantity into hot
water and flush out with more hot
water. That is all that is necessary if
you use Red Real Lye. For Red Seal
Lye is 97% pure lye. The quickest.
surest, most economical made. 1t dis.
solves vegetable matter, matted hair,
grease and rust as fast as water does
salt. 1t leaves drain pipes clean, SAM.
tary, free.fowing.
Keep one of the handy Red Seal
cans in the kitchen. 1t saves useless
steps.
And no., while you are thinking
about it, put down "a can Of Red Seal
Lye" on your grocery list. Then make
it a habit like winding the kitchen
clock to follow this simple rule Of 80
minutes iUeek."
Never again will you have a slow.
running, annoying drain pipe-or
plumber ripping up your floors to take

against such unnecessary nuisances.

The fashion for having cut-work mi
tials in silhouette to mark woman's
stationery is one of the interesting
whims of Partisan fashions. 1t is one
that the deft woman can use to excel
lent advantage, for there is no reason
why she should not do the lettering
herself. This costs nothing, while the
stationery can be bought cheaply.
The initials that stationers put on
the paper are engraved sometimes In
gold or silver, and again in colored ink
or black. The letters are outlined OF
done in solid color. They are in pen
dant medallion style to accord with
present styles. The initials are made
to conform to the limitations OF these
geometric shapes of diamond or oval
according to the form of the initial
some requiring the angular and some
the circular shaped Enclosure. With
true artistry the initials often jut out
! beyond the Enclosures just a trifle.
A set Of initials. expressly for this
paper were made by the artist in Paris
and are perfect in their style. Four
of them are shown today, and the re-
mainder will be given from time to
time and various ways of using them
other than for stationery. They Will
appear probably each Monday until the
entire alphabet has come out. The let
tiers will be given in pattern size and
can be traced and used directly from
the illustrations.
The place of the initial most ap-
proved in Paris is in the upper corner
of the page, It should not be nearer
the side of the sheet than one inch,
and it may be one and one-fourth or
one and one-half inches from the edge.
The top of the letter or the pendant
shape should be from three-fourths to
l inch from the upper edge OF the
sheet. Another position Of the letter
that meets a decided favor with those
who are more conservative Is the CEN
ter of the sheet, from three-fourths to
inch from the upper edge.
Trace the letter. mark the position
where it is to be put on the sheet, place
small piece of impression (carbon)
paper over this spot and above this
put the initial. Go over all lines care
fully with a pencil having fine but
not too sharp point. Remove both pat
tern and carbon paper, go over the line;
with pen dipped in India ink or In
any color of ink preferred
1t is smart to have the ink the same
color, though not necessarily the pre-
else shade of the color of envelope
lining. Or if the paper is tinted, the
ink is often deeper shade of the same
color-a deep blue on blue tinted sta
tionery. dark gray on gray paper, etc
Different colored inks, when not car
ried by stationer, can be ordered from
a store or from printing Office.
After the letter has been linked In
slip thin. smooth piece of wood under
the letter and with the point of sharp
knife cut away the paper between the
letter and the geometric encircling lines
and also from any portions of the letter
that are inside its contour. Never sc
