WALKERS HELD
FOR ACCIDENTS

A nationwide study of motor
vehicular accidents made by
casualty insurance companies re-
veals the interesting fact that
anything that can be done to
encourage pedestrians to walk
carefully will do something to
make the streets Of the country
safer.
OF total of more than 100000
accidents, between automobiles
and pedestrians, the actions Of
drivers were responsible for
around $4,000 of the mishaps and
the pedestrian for nearly $4,000.
In the remaining 10000 acci-
dents between cars and pedes-
trians the responsibility was
shared jointly between the driver
and the walker. More than 1000
pedestrians met death during last
year primarily because of their
own fault.
One of the national agencies
interested in encouraging safe
walking is utilizing its educa.
tional resources to encourage
pedestrians to cross streets at
crossings. to look to both the
streets and to be guided by
traffic lights. When the motorist
has the right of way and a red
light faces the pedestrian he
should remain on the curb until
a green light indicates traffic is
to move in the direction he wants
to 90,

States to Spend Billion
On Road Construction

CHICAGO, April g. Uncle
Sam will be the possessor OF
more than 10000 miles of new
highway and 100000 workers
throughout the country will be
provided with jobs as the result
of the 1881 road-building pro
gram, according to nationwide
survey just completed.
Expenditures for new high
ways will total approximately ST.
OOO, 100000. More than S55O,OOO,-
600 in revenue derived from gaso-
line taxes will be available.
Works Start Earlier
Forty-three States from which
1881 estimates were obtained re-
ported probable expenditure
of $3.50, $685. for new highways
this year. Five States, including
Arizona, Georgia, Massachusetts,,
New Mexico and Vermont, were
unable to furnish estimates. Five
others, including Connecticut,
Maryland, Ohio, South Dakota,
and Tennessee, provide estimates
on highway expenditures, but no
data on mileage or workers re-
quired.
Many States indicated that
highway construction work will
start earlier this year to provide
workers with employment as early
as possible. In New York State,

Ingrown Nail
Turns Right Out! {!

A few drops of "Outgro" in the
crevice of the ingrowing nail re-
duces inflammation and pain and
so toughens the tender, sensitive
skin underneath the toe nail, that
it can not penetrate the flesh,
and the nail turns naturally out

"Outgro" is a harmless anti.
septic manufactured for chiropo-
dists. However, anyone can buy
from the drug store a tiny bottle
containing directions.

new home.

AS usual she led the way. So at

and while it was not so very wide there
was no way to cross 1t.

Twitchtail.

Twitchtail. Il never felt less like it in
my life"
I know that water is cold" COM
planned Twitchtail, and pretended to
shiver. Il don't see any sense in trying
to keep on in this direction anyway
1t looks ever so nice on the other
side" remarked Mrs. Twitchtail as she
looked longingly across the stream. Il
almost know the place we are looking
for is over there"
We'll it can stay over there for all
I care" retorted Twitchtail. Nothing
will get me into that water
Mrs. Twitchtail sighed. Won't you
cross if I do?" she asked coftly.
NO" replied Twitchtail most de-
cidedly. If you cross you'll have to go
on alone"
Mrs. Twitchtail climbed up on a
stump for better look at the other
side. Twitchtail sat just below scratch
ing an ear and looking thoroughly dis
satisfied. He was startled by a big
splash in the water just in front Of him,
and there was Mrs. Twitchtail bravely
swimming for the other side. She had
leaped from the top of that stub into
the water. She turned her head for just
an instant.
Jump! Old Man Coyote!" she cried,
and then nearly choked as she got
some water up her nose.
Twitchtail didn't hesitate so much as
a second. At the name Old Man Coyote
he leaped as far as he could, and, of
course, he, TOO, landed with a splash.

States, they are considered historically
important.
There are many of these missing
originals. Some may never be found.
Others come back to the archives Of
the State Department by devious
routes.
For example. in 1916 a treatv was
negotiated between the United States
and Alg!ers; Three copies, all identical,
were signed. One of the three came
to light last year in the rooms of a
New York auction dealer.
He had bought it in London shortly
before. A State Department expert
heard Of it and went to New York to see
the owner. The auction dealer was
persuaded to turn it over to the Gov
eminent for what he had paid for it
$3.50.
There is another ship signals
agreement signed with Morocco in 1886
This treaty appears never to have been
printed, either in diplomatic CORE
spondence or elsewhere. Oddly enough,
the original was found in the archives
of the State Department recently,
buried among some miscellaneous I'M
bound papers.
It is believed there are very few
missing originals of treaties since 1925
thorough examination of the files of
the later period. Such a search, when
and if it is made, may produce some
surprises for Secretary of State Slim
son and his department.
One picturesque original treaty
with Tripoli in 19o5-is among those
still lost. It involves the story of
Gen William Eaton's celebrated 500

How to Make Simple Apron
BY MARY MARSHALL.

doubtless wonder why you never
thought Of making an apron like that
before. The straps and waistband are
usually made of contrasting material
SO that you may make use Of odds and
ends of leftover cotton material to
make a number of little aprons Of this
sort Or you may even make them Of
the good material left in WORKOUT cot
ton Summer dresses.
A most attractive apron is made of
a red and white print, with straps and
band of red. Or yellow and white
a deep, almost orange yellow-with
straps and band of yellow. White
straps end band are effective on any
white and-color combination of print
Dimity is often used for aprons. It
is thin. of course, but it is crisp and
therefore stands out protectively from
the frock and serves as a very good
apron. 1t comes in such pretty prints,
too, that 1t is most attractive for aprons.
Sometimes figured organdie is used
with valenciennes lace all around the
edges. This makes most attractive
apron for a gift-and also an excellent
apron to sell at fairs.
The apron should be made with .
slightly gathered skirt that goes well
around at each side toward the back,
but does not meet. The triangle Is
about 6 inches high at the point and
perhaps inches along the lower edge.

wss almost sure that she had done
this. He crawled out. shook himself
and looked back. His suspicion died
then and there. On the opposite bank
stood Old Man Coyote looking across
longingly, but apparently unwilling to
get wetting for the sake of Squirrel
dinner that he might or might not
catch.

said Mrs. Twitchtail demurely. If
hadn't climbed up on that stump I

you that you jumped when I told you

Twitchtail said nothing of his suspi-

What are you chuckling about?"

she added.

THIS writing, with its very simple,
unpretentious letter forms, sug-
gests one who cares little for the
i material things of life. Rather
she is probably interested in
things of a higher plane. So long as
she has enough to eat and a place to
sleep she Is content. This does not nee
essarily mean that she does not appre-
ciate beauty, but she loves simplicity
more than elaboration.
She is probably impatient OF the nee
essary everyday duties Of life and feels
that they hinder her and keep her from
the things she would truly enjoy She
possibly does not care for domestic
duties.
Distinctive capital letters such as she
uses are usually an indication Of an
original type. The general trend in
fashions would not attract her and she
would prefer her own tastes to the diff
ferent whims of the changing world.
Music, also, probably has a real ap-
peal for her. Even though she may
not pay any instrument herself, she will
show more true appreciation of rhythm
and melody than the average trained
musician. If she has been fortunate
enough to have had musical training
she may possibly enjoy creating short
melodies of her own.
She shows tendencies that one would
expect to find in a fine sympathetic ma
ture. Apparently We will discover her
to be gentle in her associations with
others. and a refining influence to those
about her.
