TOURING CAMPERS COST
'uERAGE 1921 DAILY

Saharal Tourists in general are not
unclean, which fact brings up the SUB
ject Of washing clothes-it must be
done under more or less of handicap
at frequent intervals 1t will be almost
useless to seek Seclusion. Everybody's
sunburn Is everybody else's concern.
Heaven help the tenderfeet who know
little of the art of cooking. But since
a special grace seems to take care Of
motor campers, every one learns more
or less rapidly. There's the big consola-
ton that most tourists culinary re-
quirements are simple; after a long
days driving they are more concerned
with food itself than the frills. AS
Mark Twain said, There's nothing like
ham and eggs to improve a landscape!"
Why burden yourself with an IRON
clad mileage schedule before you leave
home? These pre-arranged plans,
while useful in degree, prove to be
snare and delusion after you hit the
road The driver who tries to cover a
certain distance every day Is likely to
become the most miserable of tourists.
Such policy tends to force driver to
proceed so far each day that he becomes
too utterly fatigued to enjoy himself.
There are fnnumerable factors to be
considered. It's a difficult calculation
to make, when you have fair weather
one day and bad the next. or straight,
level pavement followed by winding
mountain roads. Although the laws
of the road are established, don't place
too much confidence in the other fellow
where the passage is treacherous and
he's likely to be nervous. In such
places it pays to forget schedules and
make haste slowly.
A dog. although nice pet at home.
is usually miserable on a long trip and
his bowling In camp is not likely to pro-
woke applause from weary campers try
ing to snatch 40 winks before sunrise.
Also leave behind such futile remarks
as "Oh, we forgot to take along this or
that" usually shouted suddenly from
the back seat in the drivers cars and
quite capable of causing him to run
into sign post.
After it's over, count on being a
changed person. Every mile of motor
wandering exerts a magic influence
which is hard to identify, but. neverthe-
| less, manifests itself in those who follow
the wake of the caravan of pathfinders
and covered wagons which trekked over
these same trails long before. The ex-
perience, comparable to none other, is
broadening, inspirational, inyigorating
| and educational.

forcement necessary. In st. Louis the
enforcement Is strict ANY one vio-
lating boulevard stop is summoned to
court" according to the ordinance.
Wilmington judges educate violators
at the cost of SO per lesson. Publicity
campaigns are carried on in the news
papers in most instances. The police
department of New York City. under
the direction of Deputy Commissioner
Hoyt, has a special staff for the purpose
of preparing publicity along these lines.
Detroit does likewise.
Education Is Needed.
In general it appears that the great
est success of the boulevard stop follows
intelligent. constructive policy Of pub
licity and education and strict en-
forcement of its provision by traffic
officers
How general Is the application OF this
regulation? I am firm In the convic-
ton that all future trafic regulation
and control should be kept centralized
and not delegated widely to local police
authority.
There are In Pennsylvania 93l bor-
oughs, SO frst-class townships. 1916
second-class townships. AZ third-class
cities, 3 second-class and / first-class,
or a total Of 2.552 separate local enti-
ties, each having police authority over
trafic. If all of these local governing
bodies had authority to erect the boule-
ward stop signs, as they now have to
erect a "stop-and-go" automatic light,
one would soon ind himself In the posi-
ton of approaching an intersection at
the same instant with another vehicle
and each required TO stop and wait for
the other to proceed

So 1t should be. How long do you
suppose the present conditions could
continue In the face Of q national emer-
gency such as the late Great War?
At the present time the only agencies
functioning generally throughout all OF

CROSSING TOLL SET
At 1878 TOTAL
Road Builders Report Covers
Period From 1920--De-
crease Shown Last Year.

Since 1920 a total Of 1878 persons
have been killed in grade crossing acct
dents. the American Road Builders As
ISOLATION reported today. The year 1927
was marked by a noteworthy decrease
for the first time since 1900.
During 1927 a total of 2,371 persons
were killed and 6,6l3 were injured in
these accidents. Louisiana reported the
highest death rate with 302 fatalities
for each 10000 registered automobiles.
Mississippi was second with 2.O2 deaths
per 5000 cars. The lowest fatality rate
was found in Wyoming, where no per
son was killed and only one injured at
grade crossings during the year. Rhode
Island had the low death rate Of GO
persons per 10000 automobiles.
At the beginning of the year. the
American Road Builders Association as
serts, there were 206,533 unprotected
grade crossings, an increase OF 1,457
over the previous year. Texas had the
largest number of unprotected crossings
with total of 11,771. Rhode Island
had the smallest number of unprotected
crossings, that State reporting but SO.
Delaware was second with but 251
Wyoming, the only State which reported
no fatalities, had 583 unprotected
crossings.
A study of grade crossings accidents
shows more persons to have been killed
during the month of october than dur
ing any other month. The seasonable
variation taken over five-year period
shows 1919 per cent of all fatalities to
have occurred in that month, with the
lowest death rate in February. when
6.23 per cent of the casualties occurred
Increased faulage of freight and addi-
tional highway traffic during the Fall
are believed responsible for this yaria-
ton.

Guideposts of Stone.

The variety of metal and wood sign
posts to be seen along the rHads for the
guidance of the automobiling public are
being displaced in England for those
of stone which are said to be much
more durable and more satisfactory in
other ways. They are. of course, very
subetential and are of height which
renders the inscription to be easily seen
as they are about on level with the
drivers eyes and they are not too high
TO be seen at night by the illumination
of the headlights. The presence OF the
stone markers Is said to be an addition
to the landscape. whereas that cannot
be said of many of the markers at pres
ent in use.

The president OF nation and his
cabinet and the governor OF state
and his staff recently met on high
way. The meeting had been pre-
arranged. 1t marked the official open
ing of a new highway connecting Rio
de Janeiro and Sac Paulo, one the
capital of the republic, the other the
capital Of state.
Later a banquet was held at Lorena,
q town that stands along the route.
Not only were Brazilian officials In at
tendance upon this suspicious occasion,
but also many prominent leaders IN
business affairs of nation and state
were present. All journeyed in auto
mobiles; indeed. caravans Of motorists
moved from each city to the meeting
point at Pouso Secco and to the banquet
board at Lorena,
The new highway stands as a monu-
ment of progress. It links two OF
Brazil's great cities by a 30o-n1ile

modern road. For years construction
work at different points en- route has
been carried On, but 1t remained for
the Summer of 1928 to see the highway
an accomplished undertaking. This
road is 8 meters broad, with maximum
grades of 6 per cent; there are 10
reinforced concrete bridges; about 20
miles of the route are constructed OF
macadam, 10 miles are of crushed clay
and gravel. while macadam silicate is
used on other parts Of the road.
Rio de Janeiro has nearly million
and a half people, while the population
of Sac Paulo is far above half million.
Along the route are numerous smaller
cities, towns and villages, so the new
traffic facility not only unites the
country's leading cities but also pro-
vides an outlet for Main street"
Along approximately the same route a
railway has been in operation for many
years, but today one may pertinently

ask how can a railway expect to expand
its traffic without modern feeders-the
motor truck and the pleasure car?
So, with the opening of the Rio de
.Janeiro and Sac Paulo Highway rich
and prosperous region of Brazil adopts
modernity of transportation, as well as
creates new and fascinating tourist
route from the capital of the nation to
the capital of coffeeland-Sao Paulo.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

September %, 1864.--Mayor Wallach
has sent to the Enrolling Bureau of the
District of Columbia the following let
ter which was made public today:
las ample notice has been given by
you to all who claimed residence or
were enrolled elsewhere to have their
names stricken from the enrolment in
this District, I deem it but just to us
that all claims for exemption from the
draft here on that ground should be
rejected by your board.
Doubtless many have allowed their
names to remain on the enrolment here
in the full knowledge that they were
enrolled elsewhere, in the expectation,
if drawn and exempted, they may by
chance escape being drawn in the other,
as we'll as the chances of the quota OF
that other being filled without resort TO
the draft.
IF persons drawn here are exempted
from service on such ground after the
ample notice that has been given it
will operate very iniuriously on the citi-
zens of this District, and l, therefore,
ask that they be held as liable to serv-
ice here"
Draft meetings were held again in
several city wards tonight. Efforts are
being made by the draft associations of
ment in completing the draft and also
to see that each ward is given full credit
for all enlistments which should prop
erly be accredited to it, in order that
the number of men necessary to be
drafted to make up the deficiencies may
be fair to each section of the city.
Mary Kelly and Rebecca Smith, who
have been confined in the Old Capitol
Prison upon the charge of repeatedly
aiding soldiers to desert by furnishing
them citizens clothing. have been sent
to the female prison at Fitchburg, Mass,
in charge of Capt. Samuel McKeever of
the 9th Regiment, Veteran Reserve
Corps.
1t was learned today that the Union
raid on the Rapidan. in which the rail-
road bridge was destroyed across that
stream, was performed by 400 cavalry
men under Col. Lasalle, 10th New York
Cavalry, sent out from the vicinity of
Washington by Gen. Augur. The move
ment was ordered in conjunction with
the recently impending battle between
| the Union force under Gen. Sheridan
and the Confederates under Gen. Early
| in the Shenandoah Valley, which re-
| suited in a victory for the Union arms.
The raiders also destroyed Liberty
Mills and 1000 barrels of flour about
6 miles above the Orange & Alexandria
| Railroad. They captured 400 mules, but
| lost them when they met on the way
| back a superior force of EarlyS cav
| alrymen, with whom they had sharp
| engagement.

dark brown, wavy hair, and / am let
ting it grow. Can you suggest an at
tractive way to dress it? KITTY.
Answer-U Many young girls have
the same experience with cosmetics
that you have when they begin using
rouge so early Throw away your rouge,
my dear. and develop natural roses in
your cheeks by being careful OF your
diet and exercise. Hike or play out
of doors at least two hours a day. On
rainy days put on your sllcker and
gal0Shes and take a good long walk 10
give your complexion the benefit OF the
mist and rain water. Take warm
cleansing bath each night and cold
or tepid shower in the mornings. Black
heads and enlarged pores are often the
result of failure to cleanse the skin
thoroughly at bedtime with plenty of
warm water and soap. Constipation
and indoor habits make the skin sallow
and pale. (2) You are somewhat over
the average weight for your age and
height. but this may be due to your
heavier bones and muscles.
1t should be easy to find pretty way
to couture naturally wavy hair. If
you have small ears, brush your hair
straight back from your brow, letting
it ripple over the top and sides of your
head, and make a French twist behind.
Have curl in front of each ear

tweezers to remove several hairs on
my chin and lip. Now they have come
in stiff Will peroxide bleach and
soften them? Will the excessive use
of peroxide for this purpose make the
skin dry and cause wrinkles?

'sculptured' Curls in the Couture
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Sculptured curls, I believe you should
call them. though I have heard them
referred to as spit cur;s a number OF
times lately. Anyway, you know what
| mean and you may be one OF the
progressive members of your conlmu-
nity who have already begun to wear
them.
The idea of these new fiat little
curls really did come from the sculp-
tIlred busts of anciest Greece. And be-
fore the fashion was launched FASH
iOnable and influential coiffeurS in Paris
doubtless spent hours in the Musee oe
Louvre looking with more than usual
interest at the reproductions Of the
work done by their predecessors in
Athens centuries ago.
In going back to the Greek models
Of hairdressing they aimed high, be-
cause it is an acknowledged fact that
in no place and at no time did the art
of hairdressing reach higher level
than in Greece in classic times.
Sometimes these fiat little curls are
arranged at the side of the head as in
dictated in the sketch, sometimes there
is profusion of them all over the
head In one rather amazing couture l
saw the other evening there was a row
OF them running IN Single lie AIOIH llle
center of the forehead to the nape Of
the neck.
1t would probably be difficult to re-
vive fashion for wigs as they were
worn in the eighteenth century, but
the wig-like evening headdresses, in
which silk floss is used instead Of hair,
are enjoying considerable vogue. They
might be considered simply as closely
fitting evening toques covered with
neatly arranged strands of silk. l have
seen very lovely ones in light yellow,
pink, mauve or green.
In pure white these evening head
dresses are most appropriate for wear
with the bouffant skirted period frocks.
suggesting as they do the white wigs
worn by the hoopskirted ladies of the
eighteenth century.
This weeks help gives a simple dia-
gram from which you may easily cut
out new fashioned baby jacket, with
directions for making and sketch Of the
little garment when completed. Even

lem of selecting the next baby present

The lad happened to be absent and
in his room the father began to ex-
plore for samples of his sons fancies.
The room itself was characteristic of
modern youth. Photos OF foot ball
SQUADS hung on the wall There was
an old Remington print of Indians and
cowboys, and school emblenls occupied
other spaces. After searching through
writing desk the father found several
of what he called 1.-The kids blurbs."
Just read this junk and see what you
think of it," said he. We did. To our
establishment we discovered that 1t pos
sessed merit and told the father so.
He was more amazed at our statement
than we were at the boys talent. 1t
might be said that the poems were not

The father finally agreed that he would
rather have his son become an excel
