LABOR DIVIDES
ROAD FUNDS

How much of the highway dol
lar goes to labor7
According to the calculations Of
Fred r. White, chief engineer Of
the Iowa Highway Commission,
more than half of the money
spent on hard-surfaced road build
ing goes directly to workmen.
During the last few weeks there
has been considerable talk about
the relief of the unemployment
situation through extended road
building activities. The Federal
Government has speeded up the
allotment of Federal aid funds,
making some $122,000,0 900 immedi.
ately available. But as yet only
few States have made definite at
tempts to cooperate and still
fewer have broadened road actlv.
tiles.
Outlet for Unemployed
Road building as an outlet for
unemployed men is not idle talk,
nor is it theory. Considering the
average paving job, a force cf from
20 to so men is needed, depending
on the locality, for each paving
outfit. In addition. considerable
labor is needed for grading and
bridge building. For laying Q
mile of pavement these men, to-
gether with the men who make
the cement, handle the aggregate,
make the reinforcing steel, do
the freight handling, receive $52.34
per cent of the cost of the pave
ment. But calling to mind the
men employed in making road
machinery, labor actually receives
considerably more. =
From this it is readily seen
that pavement building benefits
workmen far afield from roads.
It SO happens that this country,
with little more than 100000
miles of roads, hard surfaced to
the point of lowest car operating
costs and lowest upkeep costs, is
greatly in need of more pave
ments. Economists agree that
whatever suffering is occurring
to communities is not that Of
lack of resources or of money,
but rather the lack of consurI1p-
tive power on the part of work
men. Because of the dire need
for pavements, communities can
both re-establish effective distTi.
button of currency and equip
themselves with much-needed mo.
toring facilities. "a
The problem now is to make
money Immediately available for
pavement construction. Some
communities are slashing red
tape to do it.

would you advise using wicker fur
niture in a rom furnished in simple
Colonial style? I am trying to get a
nice Colonial effect in our living room
and have two unfinished wicker chairs
which thought could paint or stain,
as have not got enough chairs of the
real Colonial type. I have a small
Oriental rug to use in the room. I
cannot afford another at present.
Would 1t be all right to use a plain
toned rug with the Oriental? What
color scheme would you suggest for the
window hangings and sofa cushions?"
MRS. c. L.
Many interior decorators object to
tie use of any sort of wicker with
Colonial, but even those who object
usually admit that the effect of this
type Of chair is better than a chair
that is definitely of the wrong period.
Personally I think the wicker chairs
are a good solution to your problem at
present. Later when you can afford
to buy more chairs of the sort you want
you can use the wicker ones some
where else. would finish them with
dull-finish stain so as to make them
as inconspicucus as possible.
Usually the effect of an Oriental rug
with a plain toned rug is not very
good. Why not get a large plain
toned rug for the Colonial living room
or two smaller ones that will cover
the fcor-and use the Oriental rug
somewhere else? The color scheme
for your cushions and window hand
ings should depend on the color of the
walls and sofa cover. If you have plain
toned walls of a neutral tint you may
use chintz window hangings of one of
the small Colonial type prints that
harmonic with the other color in the
room. If your sofa Is covered with fig
ured chintz you had better not use
chintz at the windows. Cushions on a
figured sofa should be of plain tone.
If the sofa is plain you may choose
prints for the cushion covers.

For Outdoor Children

GUNNER, 1881, viii find more people
spending more time outdoors than
ever before in modern history, accord
ing to those who profess to know the
habits of the genus homo in the United
States. The long educational campaign
designed to impress upon the public the
fact that better health is lurking In
every ray of sunshine is finally bearing
fruit.
While people are outdoors counting
Old Sol. they do q number Of things
other than play golf, despite some
testimony to the contrary. They simply
sit down and rest, for instance. They
play cards. They park in the front
yard and watch the passing parade or
they park in the back yard while sew
ing or reading. They're willing to stay
wherever the sun shines.
Outdoor furniture that's at home on
the lawn or open porch or in the gar
den is being manufactured in ever
increasing quantities to meet the de-
mands of these sun-fanS in every COM
munity. Now it's possible to absorb
the ultraviolet rays in as much COM
fort, and amid as much beauty. as
though the sun were shining right
through the roof into the living room.
One outfit that is proving popular
this Spring is a group-table, umbrella
and four chairs for little children-in
which there's a box, perhaps a foot
deep, raised up on legs like a table
The box is filled with sand, and Young
America gets as much kick out of an

The design may be worked in colored

II cross stitch is done on coarse mate
rial the stitches may be spaced by fol-
lowing the threads, each cross stitch
extending over four or five of the
threads in the material. If the material
Is fine you may find it convenient to
work over cross stitch canvas, sold espe-
cially for this purpose at art and
needlework shops. Basic the canvas on
the material where the design is wanted
and work one cross stitch between each
mesh or use a group of four meshes
for one cross stitch If larger stitch is
wanted.

Straight Talks to Women About Money
By MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

When . woman has borrowed money
for . necessity, or owes for some article
Of apparel, her husband can be held
for the debt. Naturally q woman will
not care to embarraSs her husband in
court and she win respond quickly
when such an alternative is offered.
Where the woman ignores all demands
1t Is only fair and just to her husband
TO acquaint him with conditions
Usually he VIII either square the debt
himself, or instruct his wife to do 80.
Some women are rather harsh and
linSympathetic when money is owed to
them. They fail to realize that their
debtors may be willing to pay, but un-
able to pay in full at once. When IL
Ii possible at all to avoid q day in
court the opportunity to stay out
should be welcomed. II more creditors
would acQuaint themselves with their
debtors conditions, they would ind col
Letting easier and pleaSanter.
Or course. many an uncollectable
debt IS creditors own fault. Women
viii lend money TO friends and ac-
quaintances who have little hope Of re-
paying their loans. A woman who
shows tendency to be irresponsible
IN money matters does not deserve a
loan. 1t Is easiest TO collect from busi-
ness or working women.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

Of attention? Have your eyes examined
by an eye specialist. Eyestrain is one
Of the most frequent causes of prema-
ture wrinkles. Rest your eyes frequent
ly during the day by closing them for
a few seconds, and battle them two or
three times daily with weak solu
ton of salt and water, using an eye
cup for this. Another important point
in the battle against eye wXinkles is
sleep. Make sure that you get a SUI
ficient amount of rest every night.
Continual late nights are detrimental
to health and beauty and etch lines
and dark circles under the eyes very
quickly.
Now for local treatments. Continue
using the muscle oil and creams, pat
ting them In very gently with the tips
of the fingers. Let the cream remain
on overnight. In the morning, after
washing the face, battle it for several
minutes with cold water and pat on
little Of your skin lotion.
An egg mask Is splendid for smooth
ing out fine lines and wrinkles. To
take this home treatment give your
face the same treatment as you would
for any facial-first, thorough clean
ing and then q light massage, using
your favorite skin food or tissue cream.
After removing the creams you are
ready for the egg mask. Separate the
yolks from the whites beat the whites
slightly and then apply with a small
camel's-hair brush. Wien the first
coating has dried. apply second coat.
When this is dry pat on the beaten
yolks and allow them to dry. This
smooths out the tiny lines and brings
the blood up TO the surface of the
skin, thus rejuvenating the underlying
tissues as well. Leave the pack on for
20 minutes, or half an hour at the
most, and then wash it of gently with
tepid water and a soft cloth. Dry the
skin, using an upward pattering mo-
ton, and pat on your skin lotion. This
treatment may be taken once a week.
1t Is splendid for the entire face and
neck as well as for eye wrinkles.

Why do some women dislike 90 much
to pay their debts and their bills?
Probably it Is because such women
have had little or no dealings In the
business world and they are not keeniy
aware Of such things as honor or
credit as related to cash. Any Of US
who find 1t necessary to collect from
such women know what an unpleasant
task awaits US.
There are various ways Of collecting
money, but most of them amount to
leases and coaxes In one form or
another. Frank letters are written,
sympathetic notes are sent, and finally
challenges are issued-"Are you an
honest woman? Do you consider your
credit worth while saving?" Some
women viii respond to leases and
coaxes, especially II they are persistent
~ sent. Others viii not pay unless
they are compelled.
