An advertisement for a dance this
week states that you can "begin at
nine and quit any time." That makes
it much more convenient than some
we have seen which stated "dance
from nine to midnight." And, of
course, nearly everybody followed in
structions.

Since Tanlac Overcame His
Trcubjes, Says
"Gaining ten pounds in a couple of
weeks is something not everybody
can do jusjt when they want to but
that's just what I've done by taking
Tanlac, and 1 want to say I feel like
a tjrand new man, too," was the char
acteristic statement made by Henry
Lepkoyn, 16 Grace St., Minneapolis,
Minn.
"When I started on Tanlac I was
so weak I could hardly do my work,,
and was thinking I would have to lay!
pff, and I know that's just what I was
in for if I hadn't got Tanlac when I
did. Everything I ate just came
right up again, 6r settled in a lump
in my stomach and hurt me so bad
I sometimes figured I'd rather. go
without a meal than endure the suf
fering I knew so well would follow.
"One day a pal of mine noticed
my condition, and put me on the
Tanlac road to good health, and I can
tell anybody there'll always be a bot

now on. It sure has turned this qld

Of the 22,030 niiles of federal-aid
roads which have been built or are
now under construction, more than
two-thiids are earth roads, sand-clay,
or gravel, says the chief of bureau of
public roads, .United States Depart
ment of Agriculture/ These have cost
less than on-thir,d of the total amount
expended as compared with nearly 50
per cent of the" estimated cost applied
4,890 inil.es of hard-surfaced roads.
A study of loca* conditions by anVouth
engineer of the bureau is necessary
before a, road project may receive
federal aid.
The type of road to be used and the
suitable surface with respect to
the trnfflc of the locality must be de
termined.. Service must be satisfac
tory, while costs must be kept low,
both for building and maintenance.
There must be a careful analysis both
of the engineering and economic con
ditions for each particular project.
There are individual considerations in
every case Vhich affect the determi
nation as to the best type of road ma
terials fpr'that locality.
The mileage of federal-aid roads
which hpe been built or are now un
der construction is nearly sufficient to
encircle the glbbe. .This is the record
of \VQifk accompulshed since July, 1916,
when, the Federal government first
stepped Jin to aid in the enormous task
of building highways that are now
called upon to carry more than 9,000,-
000 nioffcr vehicles plus a very sub
stantial horse-drawn traffic In the for
ty-eight states,.1
The federal-aid law is well named.
The Depiart^ent (^Agriculture has.giv
en the broadest possible construction
to the ln^ for'the purpose of provid
ing Hie greatest mileage of highways
suited to the traffic to be carried over
them at the minimum expense. An
analysis by the bureau of public
roads of't}ie projects uude^r contract
shows that all types of roads, from
the gradod earth road up to the finest
paved surfaces, have been built.
On March 1 of this year, 22,030
miles of highway, extending into every
state, had i been completed or were in
process of construction, says the bu7
reau, at a total estimated cost of $361
040,808. The percentage of this total

Youth Is lively, a beautiful thing

The fact of CoJ. Washington A.
Roebling, eighty-four years old, being
elected to the presidency of a big
M'idge company, has prompted B. C.
Forbes, the financial writer, to in
vestigate the truth of the saying that
America Is a young man's country, it
Isn't so, he says, according tb the
Philadelphia Evening Ledger. Big
men, he declares," do their best work
nfter they are fifty.
E.'H. Gary was past fifty when he
took hold of the big
liob with the
United States Sjteel corporation^ that
hp has^held for more
rthan t\venty
years.

dent in the country is less than forty

One of the most powerful bankei-s
in the country, George F. Baker, is in
his eighty-second year! \Another, A.
Bartou Hepburn, is seventy-eight.
Though Charles M. Schwab, Henry
P. Davidson and Frank A. Vanderlip
won fame early (that is, before forty),
their greatest work bus been done
when they -could not possibly be
classed as chickens.
All of which seems to show that
fame, after all, Is no cradle smitcher
or chicken stealer.
'Let the cockeries crow as they may,
tlie wise old roosters still appear to
dominate the heap.
Panama Hats.
Most of the so-called Panama hats
are made in Ecuador. The material
is called paja "toquilla and comes from
a palm two or three meters high. The
leaves are cut just a3 they are about
to' imfold, the veins taken out and the,
fiber remaining is dipped for-a, few
minutes in boiling water to which a
little "lemon juice is added for bleach
ing purposes. Each leaf has approxi
mately SO strands about 55 centime
ters in length,'although' the best grade
reaches SO centimeters. 'The hats can
be woven only during the part of the
day when- the humidity Is greatest,
since the straw of the best quality is
not dampened. A man working six
hours a day completes- an ordinary hat
in six pr seven days, but on a very
fine one he'spends a month and a hnlf
it is the labor, therefore, which makes
the hats expensive. The most famous
are those' of Monte Cristi they sur
pass all other's In fineness,, lightness
and perfection.
