Incalculable, but In n norlod of nrrnod con-

And yet. though far-seeing men huo for hoiiio years

1 think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a trco
A tree whoso hungry mouth Is prest
Against the world's sweet llowlng bruast:
A tico that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy urms to pray;
A tree that may In summer wear
A nest of robins In her liulr,
I'ocins are made by foola like me.
Hut only God can make u trco

Victory highways In honor of America's fight
ing men In thu great war!
Hondslde planting of tioes In memory of their
Individual deeds!
It is a truism that the economic nnd mornl
liber of nny community Is shown by tho condition
of Its highways. Give the community the right
kind of roads, schools, churches, factories nnd
hanks and the other signs of advancement will
soon be In evidence.
Memorial roads! What moro fitting monument
can wo build In honor of our heroes? Permanent
roads dedicated to them! How can a community
better commemorate their achievements?
And nil these memorial roads planned and built
as parts of i grent system of victory highways
victory highways that food may movo from fnrm
to cly and manufactures bnck to the farm ! that
the wuy of tho children to tho schoolhouse may he
made ensy; that the defense of America against
nrmed fore may be certain.
Victory highways thnt not only serve tho na
tion's needs but delight tho people's eye vic
tory highways beautified by roadside planting of
American trees nnrl shrubs and flowers. No walls
and gutes nnd nrchen with their suggestion of
something closed nnd set apart, but memorial
tree nnd groves rind little parks nnd wnyslde
camps for tho American traveler and food trees
for tho birds.
To Abraham Lincoln have prohnbly more me
morials been erected thnn to any other man.
Which of all theso memorinls is most impressive
-ratut fitting? Consider now tho Lincoln high
way ns It Is and ns it is soon to he.
The Lincoln highway Is nn object lesson of
what Is nnd what Is to be in n memorial road.
More thnn .1,000 miles In length, It runs east and
west through tho henrt of Amerlcn, with glnnt
north nnd south feeder highways, Joining the At
lantic and the Pacific. It trnvcrscs 11 states.
Fifteen millions hnvo been expended on It In the
Inst flvo yenrs. Already thero aro nenrly 400
miles of concreto ami hrlck nnd paving and more
than 1,000 miles of mnendam. It Is In operation
from end to end. It carries an endless procession
of Amerlcnns In their own automobiles. Tho
year round It is dotted with freight trucks.
At this very moment tho federal government
hns under way on tho Lincoln wny across tho
continent nn exhibition train. It stnrtcd from
.Washington, nnd from Gettysburg, Pa., the route
'is over the Lincoln way to Pittsburgh, Camdon
nnd Hucyrus, O.; Fort Wayne, Ind.; Chicago

llnnlly dropping down the Sierra Nevada to Snc
t amen to, CaU and then to Snn Francisco.
This train consists of CO motor-vehicles of the
types employed by the motor transport corps In
the conduct of the winning of the war. In addition,
accompanying this train are several other
branches of the United States army service, In
cluding representatives of the engineer corps,
with nntlnlrcraft defense trucks nnd senrrhllghtH,
and certain specially detailed observers who will
mnke on Intensive study nnd report to the war
department on road conditions.
The trip Is being made for both military and
educationnl purposes, including: An extended
performance test of the several standardized
types of motorized nnny equipment used for
trnnspoitation of troops nnd cargo and for other
special military purposes; the war department's
contilbutlon to good ronda movement; demonstra
tion of the practicability of long-dlstnnce motor
post and commercial transportation nnd tho need
for Judicious expenditure of federal governmental
appropriations In providing the necessary high
ways. So much for the Lincoln hlghwny ns a means
of traiiM nation a transcontinental road link
ing the United States by states. Consider now
the Lincoln wny ns n beauty spot and a me
morial, not only to the Grent Emancipator, but to
tho heroes who followed his example and won
thq freedom of the world In tho great war.
Tho roadsldo planting of tho Lincoln wny Is In
chnrge of the General Federation of Women's
Clubs. Tlds organisation hns n membership of
2.C00.000 members. It has a state federation In
every stnte In the Union. Mnry K. Sherman,
clmlrmnn of Uie conservation department of the
general federation, has secured a comprchenslvo
planting plan for the way. This plan hns been
worked out hy Jens Jensen, n noted landscape
engineer of Chicago. In general It provides for
the planting of trees, shrubs nnd flowers Indige
nous to tho locnllty. For example, blue prints
hnvo been mndo for the planting of tho way
through tho 180 miles of Illinois. Theso prints
give all necessary details kinds of trees, shrubs
and flowers for each locality; suggestions for
grouping ench. The clubs of the several states
through which the wny passes will soo to It that
tho planting Is done. Many clubs In other states
will plant memorial miles on tho wny and In
nddltlon carry out tho same plan In application
to Lincoln way feeders In their own stntes.
Features of this roadside planting of tho Lin
coln wny by the general federation aro memorial
trees In honor of individual heroes; groves, foun
tains, camping places nlong the rond; fruit nnd
nut trees for tho birds nnd a bird snnctunry from
ocean to ocean.
For ten yenrs Amerlcn has been spending from
S200.000.000 to ."WOO.OOO.OOO n year for highway
construction nnd mnintennnce without national
plan without relation to tho broad needs of the
country as a whole and with llttlo co-ordlnnton
of effort between stntes. After spending over
$2,000,000,000 In n decade, wo are, broadly speak
ing, as far from a proper connecting system of
radiating highways In tho United Stntes as over.
Tho latest government flguros show n totnl
hlghwny mileage In tho United SIntea of 2,457,
!U14 nnd of this total, even after tho tremendous
expenditures noted, but 12 per cent, or some 200,
000 miles, hnvo rocelved any attention whatever
and theso Improvements aro scattered In 48 states,
In n loose and utterly Ineffective wny, over va
rious sections of our entire 2,500,000 miles.

Now the time for nntlonul action has arrived.
Thus tho tlfno Is ripe for roads nnd trees for
remembrance. The United Stntes Is going to ex
pend $500,000,000 in tho next few yenra on a na
tional highway system of Interstate arterial
routes. It only remains to bo seen what ugency
of tho federal government is to hnvc clinrgo of
the construction. If the department of agricul
ture nnd the state highway commissions do tho
work, the government nnd the states will share
the expense, half nnd half. If n highway com
mission is established by congress to hnvo
charge of the work the share of tho stales will bo
apportioned In order thnt states like Novnda,
Wyoming nnd Arizona shall not bo too heavily
burdened.
As to the feature of memorial trees, tills Is ulso
the chosen time. Public sentiment turns toward
tho Idea. Events all over the country forecast n
general memorial planting.
The American Forestry association, of which
Charles, Lnthrop Pnck Is president, has Issued a
cnll for memorial tree planting. It Is registering
all memorial trees nnd giving certificates of reg
istration; also instructions for planting.
Rev. Dr. Francis K. Clark hns called upon the
Chrlstlnn Endeavor .societies to plnnt memorial
trees.
Georgetown university remembered its wr
heroes at its one hundred and thirtieth com
mencement by planting 04 memorial trees ,ln
honor of Its heroic dead. To ench tree was af
fixed a bronre mnrker, of which a sample In given
herewith. To the next of kin goos a duplicate of
tho mnrker.
"My boys made n wonderful reputntlon for this
country on tho bnttleflelds of France," snys Dan
iel Carter Heard. "I say my boys because I be
lieve that thero were boy scouts In every Ameri
can division that participated In tho war. Tho
hoy ecoutp' slogan Is, 'Onco n scout nlways a
scout.' A plan that we are taking up is tho
planting of trees ns memorials for our heroei.
This Is being done in some parts of Long Island
nnd should bo done In all sections. After tho
tree has boon plnnted n small tablet should be
placed on It bearing the name of tho man who
made the supreme sacrifice, and when nnd where
and how he was killed nnd his branch of the
service."
Many Ictory highways to be planted with me
morial trees aro under wny throughout the coun
try. Tho Natlonnl Defense hlghwny, between
Hlandensburg nnd Annapolis, Is Maryland's con
tribution. New York is planning a Hoosevelt
Memorial highway from Montauk Point to Buf
falo. In Ohio Col. Webb C. Hays has offered to
glvo memorial tnblcts on memorial highways in
Snndusky county, nnd William O. Shnrpo, former
ambassador to France, will 'do the same for Lo
rain county.
The poem by Joyco Kilmer, who gave his life
for bis country In Frnpco, Is most touching. What
Is more fitting thnnn tree for n memnrlnl? We
may attain tho most magnificent effects In atono
nnd bronze. Compare them with n permanent
rond enduring ns tho Appinn way, built 22 cen
turies ngo anil shnded by tho Maryland tulip
poplar or tho Engelmnnn spruco or nny other of
our magnificent American trees. Tho glimpse of
nn Estes Park road In tho Rocky Mountain Na
tional park friiowH nnturo's wny of beautifying a
highway. Consider how tho trees on gunrd add
tho crowning touch to tho Washington monument
both alioe and below tho stain, tli(
place a wnrni Iron over the pnper. TW
heat will dissolve the gream; which thw
blotting paper will absorb.
Remove the paper, add a fresh sup
ply under tho stain and rub with chlo
roform. Grcaso Spot on a Parasol.
You may get rid of tho grcaso spot
by laying on hot French cluilk. Thin
will dissolve and absorb the grcaso,
Next, the parasol should be opened
and then thoroughly washed with gaso
line and white soap all over Its sur.
face, more particularly on the soiled
places.
Afterward sponge off with clear gas
oline. Hy going over every part of
the parasol there will be no danger of
spots or streaks and gasollno will not
harm It. Keep away from Ilro or ar
tificial light during this process.
Doth Suits and Dresses.
Owing to the proportions of tlH,
present demand for women's wenr,
the coming fall senson promises to
see suits nnd dresses bought In equal
amounts. Only u short time ngo In
the hlsloiy of the dress trade It was
always a question of a choice between
the two styles of garments, with rare
ly a tlmo when both ,wero oqunllr
good. Manufacturers of dresses bold
tho present demand for quality re
sponsible In.M mensurc for tho flcht
that exists for both suits und dresses,
and as long ns both maintain high
stnndards they stand tho snmo chanca
of acceptance. Tills stabilizing of
conditions hns been a decidedly wol
nunc development to tho dressmakers.
What the Children Wear
t s " t tN&i Sbm ?
M U'l
Very simple frocks of flno cotton
goods In gny colors or of hnndkerchlef
linen, and nil made by hand, aro pro
vided our llttlo girls to wear when
they aro all dressed up. Cotton crepe,
batiste, lawn nnd organdlo usually fur
nish the material, and embroidered
batlsto or val luce or fancy needle
work the trimming for these flue af
fairs, nnd hand work puts the hall
mark of elegance on them. And when
tho little boy of three or moro must
bo dressed up to match tho splendor
of his sister he Is likely to appear In
knickers of pongee or other strong
Bilk, with bntlsto blouso to match It
In color, nut of course his llfu Is
spent In much moro sturdy clothes
made of strong cottons, like cotton
poplin nnd pique, vvhllo theso nnd
ginghams or chambrnys Bervo for tho
dally wear of little girls.
Between tho two extremes of very
dainty nnd sheer things, for special oc
casions, nnd heavy cottons, como tho
durnbto printed voiles. They mako
very practical frocks thut aro moro
drossy than glnghnms, A good many
of theso lmltnto glnghnms In plaids
and cross-lwra that nro very pretty In
tills Bhecr material, nnd n greater num
ber hnvo email flower designs scat
tered thickly over tUolr surfnee; oth
ers aro Rtrlpcd, so thnt thero Is an
unending variety to choose from, nnd
nil theso cotton Roods nro well rep
resented In stores all ovtr the country.
Tho little girl out In Arizona has tiM
sumo chance as tho little girl In New
York to wear frocks that aro np W
date.
The dress shown In the picture Is of.
printed voile, machine made, with on
gandlc collar and cuffs and facing oq
tho pocket. The snsh Is also of on
gandle nnd thero Is a little spray of
embroidery on nil theso organdlo ac
cessories. Narrow organdie frills bor
dering neck and alcoves nnd sashes
prove ns pretty n trimming feature a
the season hns to offer. On summet
dresses sleeves nro short, either el
bow or three-quarter length, und skirts
usually about knee length.
Designers of children's clothes hnva
not Ignored gcorgctto crcpo and crepo
do chine for the most pretentious of
dainty frocks. Tho georgette Is often
figured and has the nppenrnnco of very
flno lnvvn. Gny ribbons and scalloped
edges on sleeves and skirt, bound with
tho ribbon or silk to match It, finish up
theso nlry creations. Many frocks nr
made with coateo nnd Jacket effects
in tho small bodices, and narrow rlbi
bons, Including baby velvet ribbon,
must not bo overlooked In finishing,
them off. These nnd tiny croelet or
pearl buttons decide tho class of many,
a llttlo frock.
