termed sand InaUad of gravel to sur
face the highway between Alliance
and Antloch has been rwlved bj
State Engineer George E. .Johnson.
bis al o received a letter from
the Roberts Construction company of
Denver which has the contract to
ffnee the rnd alleging t nf(t the so
called sand being used Is In fact
gravel that comes up to specifications
o.i wnich ihy bid. He says the
i-f.Ttnl n-o- In ban run 1'latte
river gravel from Scottsbluff, Bridge
port and Hayard, thatU is the mater
ml on which the firm has based Its
bed, that it In identical with that
found acceptable for mixing concrete
for culverts on the road project, also
for mixing concnte for pavement on
streets of Alliance and In gravel
used by the members of the Alliance
j chsmber of commerce when they con
struct business blocks on the main
FU'ltt.
(Inly (i ravel Avillnble.
"It is the only gravel available in
thin vicinity," writes the contractor.
"This section knows no other."
The contractor suggests, however,
that It would be all right witn him
If the state and foderal governments
would dispense with the gravel por
tion of the roud surface. The speci
fications call for eight inches of clay
or loam and two inches of "imported
gravel." This ten inch surface is to
be laid on the sand sub-grade. In
other words upon the sand hills
through which the road runs.
State Engineer Johnson is having
the matter Investigated. The sped.
flcatlons call for gravel to be tested
by running it over a set of screens
of certain sized mesh. A test will
disclose whethr the so-called gravel
is in compliance with specifications.
It is certain that the federal govern-j
mem win not consent to doing away
with the use of gravel in the con.
struction of the road surface after a
contract has been made. The con
tractor says experts report that the
clay or loam In that part of the state
contains material that will make a
good surface without the addition of
sand or gravel.
The chamber of commerce finds
fault because the allege! Band now
being used is no better than sand in
the hills near the road. It is also
asserted that Division Engineer Mc
Lean who was in charge of the work
has not co.operated with the Alliance
business men who are interested in
the road and who have contributed
Borne money for its building. It is
denied that they have refused to co
operate with the division engineer.
Fault is also found by the chamber
of commerce because part of the road
was to have been tompleted nearly
a year ago. if they have been rightly
informed, and at this time it is un
finished and impassible.
At the state engineer's office It Is
said that gravel for road surfacing
need not be bo coarse as gravel used
in mixing concrete. If the material
being used Is proper for mixing con
crete it may prove to be coarse
enough for road surfacing.

AIDS TO GRACE AND BEAUTY
(By rrlnelllA Dean.)

Tlie I'ne And The Abuse of Color
Not one woman out of ten under
stands the proper use of bright and
dull tones.
You see plrls with complexions
that are sallow wearing dead leaf
shades of tan and brown which in
tensify all that is hopeless and un.
alluring about them. When a human
being is all dull tan from head to
feet, skin, hair, eyes, clothes and even
shoes, she certainly does not appeal
to the eye, and yet at certain seasons
of the year you see plenty of these
anaemic dust colored specimens of
unattractive womanhood. Let me
tell you It takes a brilliant coloring,
almost that of a raving beauty to
wear these tan and drab shades, and
they are best left to the auburn and
the black haired.
Then there is the opposite type, the
woman who decks herself out in all
the bright colors; henna. Jade green,
old gold, purple, not always separate
ly indeed, but. all at once until the
eye aches looking at her. Sometimes
it is the woman who is no longer
young who indulges in this riot of
brightness. She thinks, poor thing,
that It wakes her up, and brings
back the years that have gone, while
the truth is that such colors accen
tuate the faded tones and the sal
lowness of her skin.
Sometimes a simple little hat of
dull blue velvet will bring rosy tones
to the complexion more than all the
roses and coral in a milliners' win.
dow. Study the tones of your skin.
There are certain suades which flat
ter it and others which kill it. If
you are wise you will confine your
self to the shades which are kind to
you, regardless of the fashion.
Just now the style is to wear
dark dresses and suits with bright
hats. They say that in Taris the
black dress leads whether beaded or
embroidered it is absolutely unre
lieved by color except a chain or
necklace, possibly, which mates the
hat and the millinery is in tone of
Jade, henna, old gold, or electric
blue. This is a very good fashion
for the stout woman. No matter
what her natural inclinations she
should never wear light or bright
colors in her gowns. Next to black,
navy blue should be her choice
and only those shades of brown
which are cold and without golden
tendencies.
Gray, which Is most charming
where It Is becoming, la a veritable
pitfall for the unwary. It demands
a complexion of exquisite fairness
with a natural tint of rose, which
may be enhanced of course by art,
but the fudamental pink tint must
be there already, for gray will In.
fallibly bring out the least bit of sal
lownesn. Again a good complexion
Is not sufficient If the hair and eye
brows are too pale and "mousy".
It takes either a blonde with bright
coloring, one whose hair contains
red lights or a black haired fair skin
ned Irish type to look well In pearl
gray, None others should attempt
It.
Black Is not bo universally be
coming as midnight blue; many peo
ple wear it who should not. In gen
eral it is well to remember that dull
black is for light haired people and
glossy or brilliant blacks for the dark
haired. Nothing is more depressing
than dull black on a brunette par
ticularly on a black haired woman,
when she could be more beautiful in
black velvet or satin.
It is not true that all women can
dress in white. Dead white is one of
the moRt trying things a dark or dull
skinned woman can put on. Your
own observation will prove this to
you. But those who do not look
well in bluish white will present a
charming appearance in materials of
soft creamy texture like georgette or
lace, or even those linens which are
in the natural or oyster class.
Fale blue is a shade which as a
rule should be left to the very young
it is far from kind to the middle
aged who can wear pale green, or old
rose much better.
CLOSING OUT
Women's & Children's Hats
Regardless of Cost
Highland-Holloway Co.
When a woman reaches a certain-,
age she should be wise enough to
real'ie that the line and the cut of
her gowns count for much more than
the color when It comes to their
beautifying her. The soft tones of
fur should not be undervalued. A
collar of soft fox, mink or sable will
take years from a thin woman, while
mole or seal are' equally flattering to
the plump who cannot wear long
haired furs.
When In doubt what to wear it 1
always safe for a women to match
her eyes. The blue eyed may always
wear blue, the gray eyed usually gray,
the hazel eyed green and the brown
eyed brown. It is an excellent plan
sometimes to have all one's aeses
sories match, shoes, purse, gloves,
and sometimes even the hat. Thus
a smart little midnight blue walking
dress will have as an accompaniment
a colored hat) gloves, purse, stockings
and pumps of the same light shade.
By such sophisticated touches the
smart woman is known.
The cities of the United States will
be rid of the loafers when cities stop
feeding loafers.
There isn't much question about
bootleggers making something while
the moonshines.
They put the price of gasoline up1
every little while because they real
ize, perhaps, that one is driven to it.

TO BE GIVEN AWAY
Make Sure You Get Your
Share of It
Last year this bank followed the plan of giving away many dollars to
the hundreds of new depositors that answered their call
For New Accounts
The plan was productive of such good results both from the standpoint of
the depositors and this bank that we have decided to repeat the plan this
year. Many new depositors were started in the habit of saving, and anyone of
them will vouch for the wisdom of their action.
You never can tell when you will need a little extra money for some emer
ency. Sickness, accident or an opportunity for small investment may come to
any one of us any time. We should have a little nest egg to help out in case
of necessity.
Here Is The Plan
The First State Bank will add one dollar to the credit of every NEW
DEPOSITOR who opens an account with this bank. This dollar will be in
eluded with his regular deposits and will draw interest just the same as
every other dollar that belongs to him.
WE PAY 6 INTEREST ON TIME DEPOSITS,
and this interest is payable semi-annually.
TO THE LITTLE FOLKS
this offers an especially fine chance to start saving. Parents should welcome
this opportunity to start their little ones in the thrift habit. The first dollar is
all they need to commence.
THIS OFFER STARTS SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 6th
