$4,000 For Roads

Governor Cramer and the Municipal
Committee held conference yesterday on
the question of repairing the public roads.
An allotment of $64, 10000 is available
for repairing the public roads of ST. Croix
and the Governor wanted the Municipal
Committees advice as to what roads should
be repaired and how they should be repair
ed
Present at the conference were Mr.. F.
Torkelsen, engineer for all Federal projects
In these islands and an expert at road build
ing; Mr.. H. Mckenzie, chief of the Public
Works Department who has much expert
ence with our local road work; and Mr.. H.
B. Nelthropp, road foreman.
The entire group made tour of inspec-
ton, taking in the Northside and Centre
line roads. Sections of limestone road at
Richmond La Princesse" and Morn.
ing Star" were inspected. The section at
Morning Star" was built five years ago.
Other types of road building were inspecred
On the Centre line.
Mr.. Torkelsen thought that limestone is
the. best material available here for road
building ION account of its adhesive quail
ties. Mr. Mckenzie and Mr.. Nelthropp had
found it so in their experience and the con
dition of the limestone roads built years ago
support this claim of superiority Besides
the work can be done at half the cost of a
blue beach road.
The Municipal Committee was unani-
nous in the opinion that limestone road,
well.surfaced and treated with composition
of oil would be the type of road suitable
for St. Croix. It was also agreed that the
present allotment would be used on the Cen
tire line road. From estimates prepared by
Mr.. Torkelsen with the assistance of Mr..
Mckenzie the entire road between the two
towns should be built for $50, 10000 allowing
100000 for necessary equipment.

effective the same date. At the
time Of his suspension from duty,
Hagood was commanding the
Eighth Corps Area at San An
tonic.
Left Conference Smiling
Reinstatement Of Hagood fol-
lowed quickly in the wake Of .
conference he had with Presi-
dent Roosevelt on Saturday. He
emerged from the White House
smiling and in a much more cheer
full mood than when he had pre-
viously seen the President aboard
the latter's train several weeks
ago, at which time it was an
nounced that he would take q
three-month leave of absence.
After Saturdays conference.
Hagood visited the War Depart
ment and conferred with Secrs-
tary Dern and Gen. Malin Craig,
chief of staff.
It was on February 81, last, that
orders were issued removing Har
good from command Of the Eighth
Corps Area and sending him home
to await orders" This action,
which precipitated a political tenn
pest in Congress, was the out.
growth of Hagood's outspoken
criticism of the Administrations
spending policies.
Ridiculed WPA Funds
In testifying before a Congress.
Sional committee, Hagood de-
Scribed WPA funds as stage
money" and asserted it was
harder for me to get S cents to
buy a lead pencil than to get a
$1,000 to teach hobbies to CCC
boys"
In recommending Hagood's re.
moval from his command, General
Craig, in a memorandum to Dern,
said that action should be taken
"of a nature to serve notice on all
that the War Department will not
tolerate this type of utterance."
In taking his case before the
President, in the latter'S capacity
as commander-in-chief of the Army
and Navy, Hagood was understood
to have explained that he was not
aware that his remarks before the
committee would be made public.
Correction Too Late
When he learned such was the
case, he endeavored to correct his
testimony, he said, but was mott.
fled that it was too late. The re.
marks were made public.
These extenuating circumstances
were understood to have had q
bearing on the decision Of the
President to restore Hagood to
active duty.

Psychology
By DIR. JESSE w. sPROwLs.

d OxSs JESSE W. Ok VvvA9s
IF AN artist and a soldier were to
= look 1t q landscape, the two would
describe what they saw in terms OF
two different chains Of associations.
The artist would think and talk about
the possibilities of a painting. The
soldier would think and talk about the
possible maneuvers for q battle. And
80 It goes for all Of us in everything
We experience.
Most Of our associations are con-
trolled by habits and interests. It
seems that our habits and interests
act - determiners of what Is to
happen. They constitute twin selec-
tors. Out of the hundreds Of things
that are wrapped up in any experience
the selectors pick out only few and
ignore all the others. To put it
another way, our habits and interests
are the determiners Of what we pay
attention to.
This law Of dominance which de-
termines the scope and significance
Of our associations Is one Of the most
important Of all the, principles Of
educational psychology. One might
almost call 1t one Of the laws Of learn
ing.
In 4 still broader sense, educators
should regard It - . rule to follow
in setting up courses Of study. Those
who hold to the old view that .
liberal college education should fol.
low classical and htlmanistic lines
have Ia this law Of association very
good argument tes their position.

Cosmetics,
And Tricks
In Makeup
Good Powder First
Requisite for Smooth
Finish.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

YESTERDAY We noted that the
L foundation is the first requisite
of our cosmetic aids. Rouge is the
second, and we explained that two
rouges are better than one; q cream
rouge to give the appearance OF q
very natural, under-the-skin color
and then dry, compact rouge to
heighten the color. The cream, you
know, is used before powder and the
compact rouge after ones makeup
Is finished.
Now we come to powder, which IS
without doubt the most important
makeup accessory and the one most
widely used. In view of this, we must
agree that powder deserves great
deal of thought and care in selection.
Chemists and cosmetic manufac-
turers in preparing new powder take
so many angles into consideration and
each Of these represents definite
requisite that your powder should
live up to.
First: The heavier type powders
are out of date. Once upon a time
only the heavy type powders seemed
to have any clinging qualities. Today
manufacturers have succeeded in in
cooperating these adherent properties
in swansdown, feathery powder. The
heavy, sticky type powders used to
form a pasty mass, clogging the pores
and giving anything but the desired
smooth effect.
So, in choosing your powder be sure
that it is soft, silky and smooth in
texture, light in weight, goes on and
stays on smoothly and beautifully. The
perfect powder Is the one that tones
down shine without hint Of shine in
itself; that imparts finished look to
the face.
And now we come to the choice OF
the proper shade. For the average
woman and the average needs, I would
say the best choice IS shade very
near her own skin, and preferably the
slightest degree darker, rather than
lighter than her coloring. When you
have advanced to the point where you
can try the subtle little makeup
tricks. you can have q dark and light
powder, the dark shade for features
you wish to make less prominent, oE
you can use two types Of powder
