BUILDING
GREAT BENEFIT TO FARMERS
Out of a turmoil of shapes and a riot
of color a few parasols liavo emerged
from among many novelties to become
favorites for this season. The "Chin
Chin" is one of them and the "Pagoda"
anothor, both patterned after models
which have been introduced to us by
fair Japan or old China. Hut none of
these novelties holds first place in
point of numbers. The majority of
women buy the usual shape with
which everyone is familiar and de
pend for novelty on tho colors or
the border used or new ways of ad
justing the covering to the frame.
A convenient parasol for those who
are to travel is made with a detach
able handle. By a clever little con
trivance tho lower part of tho handle
may be made to slip out of the upper
part. This allows the parasol to be
packed in any trunk.
Parasols in all white, in white and
black, and those showing rich Persian
designs in many colors applied to
white or ecru grounds are liked for
all-round wear. Emerald green, and
pongee in the natural color combined
with green, are always in fashion.
Handsome white lace coverings over
taffeta silk makes an elegant sun
ahado that one may wear with assur
ance on high occasions every season.
Black and white checks and black
and whl' stripes mounted with plain
black or "n whito or with emerald
green have been used to make many
smart patterns. Plain parasols lined
with silk in a bold checkerboard pat
tern In black and white, ihe checks
amost two Inches square, are attrac
tive but an extreme development of
the mode.
A pagoda parasol is shown in the
picture given here, made of black silk
with border in black-and-white stripes
and handle in all-black wood. The
ribs are deeply curved. It Is almost
tho opposite in shape to the whito
"Chin-Chin" parasol with straight
ribs covered with chiffon. Strips of
white embroidered chiffon cover each
line made by tho ribs, showing through
on the upper side. The strips end it)
points. They overlap at the top, mak
ing tho thin and fragile cover a trifle
more practical.
In selecting a parasol for real serv
ice in hot weather it is not to be for
gotten that black concentrates tho
heat and looks warm, too.
Of Flowered Tapestry.
Cushions having the appearance of
durability and clcganco are made of
flowered tapestry. The design should
be small and artistic, in good colors
that blend nicely with the background.
Good cloth, llowered in pastel prints,
is suitable for a handsome room, but
such pieces as olive, cardinal, blue and
green, with small flowers, are best for
general use. Sofa cushions made of
burlap and embroidered with raflla are
quaint, serviceable and inexpensive,
for there is quite a difference between
tho cost of raflla and embroidery silk.
Sport Hats of Silk or Cotton Fabrics
Three-Hour Trip to Town Cut Down to
Thirty Minutes by Advent of
Gasolino Motor Car.
(Uy L. J. OM-II3U.)
Tho prosperity of a stato depends
largely upon good roads. Thoy mean
cheaper transportation, better living
conditions, and happier homes. Quick
communication rank3 ns tho great fnc
tor in tho universal dissemination of
knowledge. Where good roads abound
sectionalism cannot exist.
Tho deslro for good roads loading to
a city that those with automobiles
could havo a greater pleasurablo tour
ing radius first brought tho matter
prominently to tho foro as a good
roads movement with automobile back
lug. Gradually tho farmer, antagonistic
at first, began to tako an Interest.
With good roads and an automobllo
ho could cut down tho thrco hour trip
to town to perhaps thirty minutes.
Good roads brought tho doctor
quickly at a time when minutes wero
precious. Good roads and an automo
bile took tho family to town in tho
evening, something unheard of before,
or to visit a friend or rclatlvo In a
distant part of tho county. Whon
farmers learned that other farmers
wero doing these things, that good
roads and automobiles made them pos
sible, then they, too, desired good
roads for their own county.
By means of tho telephone and
quick motor truck delivery tho farmer
Is now ablo to top tho market. Ho
can rush his produce to market at tho
right moment to command tho best
price. But he could not do it wero his
roads not well built and In good re
pair. Consequently tho farmer Is now
most actlvo In the agitation for good
roads and jealous of any legislative
power delegated to irresponsible au
thorltics.
While in timo every road should bo
a good road, yet all the work cannot
be done at once. Therefore tho au
thorlties who are building roads
should sco that each one is linked to
another to make continuous highways.
Tho advantage of this lies In tho fact
that the main arteries of travel will
then first receive the attention of the
good roads builders. It will also fa
cilitate touring, in itself a valuable
asset for any community.
It Is interesting to note that In 1913
Ohio had tho largest mileage of Im
proved roads of any stato In tho Union
with 28,312 miles. Indiana was sec
ond and New York third. Illinois was
seventh with 9,000 miles. While Now
York can claim tho greatest progress
in road building from 1909 to 1913,
having built nearly 10,000 miles in
that time, I feel that tho work Call
fornla is now doing probably puts that
stato In tho lead. I havo juBt returned
from California and am amazed at tho

Sport hats made of fabrics havo
boon developed this season to an im
portant place In tho well-defined class
to which thoy belong. The regulation
aport hat has becomo an lmportaut
part of our specialized millinery and
will grow more and not less popular,
as women are becoming more and not
loss Identified with outdoor life and
outdoor sports.
These plain, woll-mado, well-fitting
and snappy items in tho headwear of
tlie modern woman, aro made of straw
braids or body hats, but havo proved
so successful whon mado of fabrics
that tho fabric hat claims special at
tention. A group of three of them is
pictured here In which ono hat is
mado of taffeta silk, ono of checked
cotton goods, In a heavy weave, and
ono In mercerized poplin which fe
mado of cotton but has tho appear
ance of silk.
The first hat Is of bright green taf
feta. Tho brim Is stiffened by an In
terlining of crlnollno and mnny rows
of muchlno stitching. Tho top crown
Is a scant puff, and tho side crown Is
a wide band crlnollno covered with
tho silk. A wide bow of tho taffeta
posed at tho front provides tho trim
ming. Tho brim may ho turned up or
down, and tho hat ills the head llko
a cap. It Is lined with whito silk.
Tho socond hat may bo mado of
pougea in tho natural color, and grcon
taffota silk, Tho silk Is used for tho
brim facing and for piping tho seams.
But tho hat as shown In tho picture
Is a mercerized cotton fabric. It is
trimmod with a woven silk band In
yellow and green with little green
buttons at tho front.
Tho jockey cap Is tho least preten
tious of theso hats for wear when one
devotes tho time to outdoor life. Tho
loosely woven fabric Is not warm and
will stand any amount of wear and
tear. It Is simply a visor of buck
ram or canvas covered with tho fab
ric. The crown Is a puff mado of a
circular piece of tho goods, and is
plaited Into the visor. Across tho
back it is gathered over an elastic
cord. A narrow fold of tho goods is
sowed about tho cap and completes It.
Tho stnndard pattern companies fur
nish patterns for several kinds of fab
ric hats. Kew of them aro dlfllcult to
make and all aro within the provlnco
of tho clever homo milliner.

wonderful way In which this stai.o Is
taking hold of good roads work.
Three years ago California appro
priated $18,000,000 for gopd roads,
The various counties each appropri
ated in addition from $250,000 to $3,
500,000 for tho Improvement of coun
ty roads which are feeders to the main
highways. Los Angelas county has
over 400 miles of Improved roads. By
September one will bo able to drive
from Los Angeles to San Francisco by
tho coast route and return by tho val;
ley route over continuous good roads
a boulevard 1,000 miles In length.
Tho samo agitation that brought
California Its appropriation for good
roads is now being waged clsowhoro
throughout tho West. In Homo places
actual work Is In progress. Tho state
of Utah has passed favorably upon an
Improved road that eventually will bo
part of ono all tho way from tho Yel

A physician of Portland, Oregon, has

"I havo always bellevod that tho duty

treating tho sick, but that wo owo It to
humanity to teach them how to protect
their health especially by hygienic and
dietetic laws.
"With Buch a feeling as to my duty I
tako great pleasure In Baying to tho
public that in my own experience and
alBo from personal observation I have
found no food to equal Grape-Nuts and
that I find there Is almost no limit to
tho great benefit this food will bring
when used in all caBes of Blckneas and

Btart tho machinery of tho human sys
