Highway Programs

Fact Expected to Have Important Bearing on Coming
/ Convention OF American Road Building Assn

many of the states, of an amount
estimated at 100000 this year,
has cut tremendously into the road
programs of these political subdi-
visions.
1t is the contention of federal
and state officials identified with
spent for the purpose which alone
lists, would have accomplished a
two-fold purpose. In the first place,
they maintain, 1t would have
meant the improvement and ex-
tension of the highway network in
consonance with an extreme traffic
need while, at the same time, 1t
for tens of thousands of men, ac-
complishing more in the way of di-
rect relief than has been achieved
by applying it indirectly.
The convention, which will be the
thirty-first annual meeting of the
association, will lbring together fed
neers and officials; equipment man.
ufacturers; material producers;
highway contractors; and others
identified with and interested in
sound Highway development.
The exhibit to be held in con-
nection with the convention will
afford a medium for exchange of
IDEAS as to highway equipment and
material needs. and the latest inn
provements and developments in
equipment, materials and methods.
Highway affairs will have the CEN
ter of the national stage during the
convention week. The general pub
ic, as we as the industry will be
afforded the opportunity to become
acquainted with current highway
facts. They can then better deter
mine the proper future highway
course for the general welfare.

Washington, Nov 21-Highways
sare leading the public works pro-
gram for national recovery. This
fact will have an important bearing
on the coming convention of the
4American Road Builders associa-
stion which will be held in Chicago
during the week of January %,
1884. In connection with the con-
vention the association will hold a
comprehensive exhibit of highway
Equipment and materials.
q In announcing the convention
date and location, H. c. Whitehurst,
engineer of highways of the Dis
strict of Columbia and president of
the American Road Builders as
association, emphasized the four ma
sjor subjects that will lengage the
attention Of the convention. They
are:
81 The need for continuation Of
~ an adequate highway program.
~ The necessity for federal
participation in the nations
road program.
The use of highway revenues
n for the extension and improve
q merst Of the nations highway
network.
The necessity for bringing
back to the highway program
II gasoline and motor license rev.
enues which. during the period
u Of economic stress, have been
!, diverted to other purposes.
Mr. Whitehurst pointed out the
of coordinated action to
stop the inroads upon highway
Funds. "Unless checked" he said,
1.-the diversion of gasoline taxes and
motor vehicle license fees to other
than highway purposes constitutes
Ia serious threat to continued
HIGHWAY program. These diversion
Tendencies must be dealt with in q
positive manner; otherwise the en-
Hire highway program may collapse.
This must not occur, as the high
way program plays too important
IN part in our national life to-day"

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-We're
still suffering slightly from a
mild attack of the jitters in
duced by the sight of seven
dresses evolving miraculously
out of one! We didn't believe it
either-until we saw it!
It all started with a simple
little black crepe frock that
you'd never suspect of having
such chameleon-like possibilities.
It came with gilet and sleeve
less jacket-both in panSy blue
crepe edged with silver lame.
When you'd decided that you'd
worn it that way to the weekly
bridge game often enough, off
came the jacket and gilet-and
on went a separate silver lame
collar that tied in a bow in
front!
Then, in quick succession fol-
1owed-a white satin collarett a
gay red velvet kerchief collar,
and a green velvet flower bib
with belt to match-all on the
same dress! BY that time, we
were slightly dizzy, although still
able to take it.
But when an amythySt VelVe-
teen scarf and gloves appeared,
we collapsed completely, and
had to be led away muttering
something about there being
no end to this thing"
However, we think it's a grand
idea for the woman who wants
a whole wardrobe in one dress,
although not necessarily carried
out to this extent. Best of all,
this costume comes in the long
neglected larger and half sizes,
too, so that the stout and short,
as well as the slim and tall
woman, can take advantage Of
its economy.
Change-AbOut Goats
Incidentally, this quick
change act" can be carried out
just as successfully in coats
SSo AA NACooCO1 do was OC111O1Lo
Strated to us at the same time.
For daytime wear, there was
simple collarlesS coat of black
velvet, Smartly buttoned high
on the neck.
For late afternoon and early
evening wear, it added a deep
cape Of sable dyed kolinsky
with long scarf ends-and
presto! it was the last word
in coat luxury!
Just to make life more in
tereSting, we were shown how
even the fur cape could be
worn with anything elsa
street dress, for example, or
furleSS suit.

Beauty Queries
and Answers

Weight
Question: wish to retain my
slender lines and so I'd appre-
ciate your telling me which Of
the fruits, vegetables and meats
are fattening.
Thanks in advance. M. F.
Answer: Very few of the fresh
fruits and vegetables now in
season are really fattening. The
only truly high-calorie vegeta-
bles are potatoes, peas, lima
beans and corn, while the fat
tening fruits are grapes, ba-
nanas, figs, dates, raisinS and
prunes. Meats are not generally
fattening, but by this mean
lean meats. Fat meats should be
avoided. Ham, bacon, roast
pork, ducks and goose all fall
into this class. Beef, lamb, tur-
key and chicken, however, are
not fattening, and may be con-
Sumed in moderation by an in
dividual who is reducing. If you
eat sensibly, and cultivate good
food habits, you should be able
to retain your present slender
lines.

Perhaps we want to rustic, to
stand out a little in a season of
quiet velvets and Satins.
ViOnnet'S Metals
Paris is wearing and showing
quite a few Of the sitter fab
RIGS, taffeta, moire, still velvet,
and heavy metal cloth that
stands out like a heavy faille or
bengaline.
Certain designers, Lanvin es-
pecially, always have a few OF
them, and this year they're par
ticularly successful.
Vionnet is doing well with
heavy metal cloths, and other
designers are using faille and
heavier taffetas with great ef-
feet.
Slim Through Hips
We Americans need a little
education about such gowns, for
we are apt to think of them as
ingenue, and too young for most
of us.
Some of them are, but they
are far in the minority, and are
found mostly in girls depart
mentS.
The new MORE, faille and
taffeta gowns are slim through
the hips as well as through the
waist, and are sophisticated.
They are to the floor, even
with a slight train, and they
have lovely and interesting
shoulder arrangements.
Heart Shape Neckline
To illustrate, we've photo
graphed a black taffeta gown
that is said to be inspired by
Mae West. The top of it may
be, but it looks much too slim
for the figure Of that fair lady.
It is just a plain slim fitted
gown, except for the heart
shaped neckline, and the rhine
stone studded fold across the
top of the bodice, which gives
it dash and spirit.
It calls for rhinestone brace
lets, and either earrings or
necklace, and it is complete.
it is priced $39.75 in a down
town store, and is in misses
sizes.

So softly speaks the flute across

So lightly lies the moonbeam
on the rose,
The lily-petals are so misty
white,
The south wind with such fairy
fragrance goes,
That, though some whisper of
this summer hour
Must, love, to you across your

1t will not stir your eyelids'
closed-up flower
Nor for one heartbeat mar your
tranquil sleep.
But may the music's haunting
silver streams
So family drifting on the moon
drenched air.
Intrigue your ear and mingle
with your dreams
Until it's love and longing linger
there.
So through your years may all

Like these clear notes that to
your slumber sing,
Unguessed, and yet enhancing
melody,
And each lark adds his joy
unto the spring.

Advice 7 O
LoveIorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

She's Had Many Affairs, Yet
Hasn't Told All
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I've been goi g regularly with
a girl for the past three months.
We are much in love with each
other and decided to marry. so
we announced our engagement.
She's % and I'm 25.
On her own accord she told
me all about herself; how she
had been -ngaged before for
four years. And being in love
with her, told her that there
was no need Of going into her
past love affairs, as I suppose
every girl has some affair in her
life before she gets married.
But here what makes me
hesitate. Every once in a while
she tells me about affairs that
she has had with other men
that she cared nothing whatso-
ever about. Naturally that
hurts. I asked if that was all,
and she said girl liked to keep
a few secrets for herself.
Does she feel that because we
are going to get married she
has to tell me all these things,
and in doing so is showing me
how much she loves me? This
is the first time I've really been
in love, and I don't know much
about women, but I think it's
a heck of a way to tell me she
loves me. What do you think?
TED.
Better "pause and reflect" be-
fore you say "I do" with this
girl. While franknesS between
people expecting to be married
is admirable, a continued con-
fession of affairs, with the
statement that some are to be
kept secret, raises the very gen.
uine doubt if that sort of girl
would make a good wife for any
man.
She seems unable to grasp the
fact that marriage is not Just
one more affair, and that for
you it means a life partner
ship. A man and woman of
such different standards, it
seems to me, could not he happy.
