6lO,O4l CARS BRING
FUND TO $S,976,S47
But Tax Exacted by Bad Roads
in Spring Months Runs
into Larger Totals.

A total of 610,041 motor vehicles
had been registered in Minnesota up
to April 1, according to figures given
out by the Secretary of State. Total
license fees paid on these machines
were $8,976,847. At the same date
last year 578,261 machines had been
registered and license fees totalled
SS,571,149.
At first glance the total looks like
the fee of $40 or SIP or SIS looked
like a lot of money when they paid
it. But highway bulletin points out
that if some stastistician could figure
up the bad road tax witch car owners
in Minnesota are paying this spring,
it woul be much larger total.
There are plenty of motorists who
will testify that on a single trip they
have paid more for pull-outs, repairs,
cleaning car, clothes cleaning, chains,
extra gasoline and other items, than
they pay for their annual license tax.
Then there is the loss of business
to merchants, loss of perishable goods
which cannot be marketed due to bad
roads, loss to industries which are
tied up because they cannot get raw
material or market their products, and
the expense of rearranging trans
portation methods and schedules dur
ing the spring break up. Just how
large this loss would be no one knows,
but it runs into large figures.
At the offices of the Minnesota
Highway department is. map show
ing roads in red where load restrlc-
lions are in effect, and an ''X' where
they are impossible. During the past
week just about half the unpaved
roads have been marked in red, and
the "X" marks are numerous. From
day to day the map shifts. Sun, wind
and maintenance work may put some
routes back in the passable column,
but the same day the warm weather
may cause frost boils" to appear on
other routes. Every spring there are
a lot of roads that are poor or I'M
passable, and if it happens to be
wet spring, a large part of the map
may be in the red for several weeks.
Before the trunk highway plan
went into effect, impossible roads
were the regular thing whenever it
rained or showed, summer or winter,
as long as the automobile was mostly
a pleasure vehicle it made little diff
ference. In eight years the trunk
routes have been improved and main
tanned so that impossible highways
are almost unknown except during
the spring breakup. The automobile
has become an important part of our
daily life, and when the roads are
out of commission, it upsets our whole
business routine. Modern conditions
require roads that are passable 365
days in the year, but there is still
much to do to bring the Minnesota
highway system to that point of per-
lection. On many of the routes with
heavy traffic this will require paving,
while on other grading, draining grav-
cling and in some cases bituminous
treatment will do the trick. To COM
plete the system will cost lot OF
money, but the cost will not be as
great as the cost of bad roads.

WHEN LOVE is YOUNG -
Theater Etiquette

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. When entering theater,
does the young lady follow the
usher?
2. Should she sit to the right or
to the left Of the young man?
3. In q restaurant, does the
young lady give her order to
the waiter, or to the gentleman
she is with?
4. Is it proper for young lady
to take a gentleman's arm while
walking. or vice versa?
@. J. g.
/. There is no definite rule for
this. wish there were, al
though I do not agree with the
custom of having the woman
follow the usher. 7 think that
1t seems more reasonable to have
the man follow the usher and to
have the woman follow the man.
Then the man can see that the
usher finds the right seats, and
he will be in position to help his
companion to her seat in the
row.
Q. The man sits in the seat
nearest the aisle.
8. The woman gives her order
to the man with whom she is
dining, her host, and he gives
both to the waiter. Ii her order
differs from his, he mentions her
order first.
4. Neither Is correct, unless the
woman needs assistance, as in

SMART STYLES I'm FUR COATS
Nowadays, Furs Are
Treated As
Fabrics

THE dressmaker touch has
assumed almost gigantic
proportions as far as the
latest fall and winter styles
are concerned. With the return
to. femininity in fashions, this
is to be expected, and its charm
cannot be denied.
Even furs are not immune
and we now see coats and
scarfs treated as fabrics. The
nut-ia coat at the left of the
illustration is good example
of this new style. A large cravat
tie lifts it from the realms of
the ordinary and places 1t in
the first row of fashions never
ending parade.
The more formal coat at
right is of gray broadtail with
a luxurious collar Of silver fox
set away from the face.
Jaunty fur jackets are being
shown as part of ensembles,
usually of caracul or broad
tail and show all the little
feminine touches which are be-
ing exploited this season.
A partially charming ensem-
BILE seen in one of the shops the
other day, was of black broad
cloth and broadtail. The short
jacket was semi-fitting and
boosted a tuxedo collar of
white ermine.
Huge flaring cuffs reaching
to tn elbow or above are also
featured on the newest fur
coats, which, however, in many
cases dispense with the large
collar, and depend on the con-
trasting fur of the cuffs for
thar effectiveness.
