Mr. Bryant said Kalamazoo had not
given up that plan for road Improve
ment A report of the committee on reso
lutions was accepted by the Ameri

lowing resolutions favoring:
A national department of publlo
works, with a secretary having a
place in the president's cabinet.
State highway commissions and
state aid' in highway building and
maintenance.
National road system and that the
president appoint a committee to re
port the best method of giving fed
eral aid In road construction.
Legislation to the effect that the na
tional government be represented at
future road meetings.

To Keep Strict Watch on Sugar Beets.
Under the recently passed law plac
ing the Inspection ancrtestlng of sugar
beets with the dairy and food depart
ment, the chemists of the agricultural
college, dairy and food department
and agricultural experiment , station
were made a commission to formulate
rules and regulations for the uniform
weighing, taring and testing of all
sugar beets In Michigan.
The new law provides that any
farmer who Is furnishing sugar beets
to a factory and is dissatisfied with
the weighing and taring, or with the
analysis of the sugar content, can file
a complaint with the dairy and food
commissioner at Lansing and this com
plaint will be promptly investigated
by an Inspector. "
The dairy and food departments
also expected to test all scales used
in weighing sugar beets throughout
the state, but owing to the nonarrlval
of weights and scales ordered last
June, It will be Impossible. It Is in
tended, however, to have the inspec
tor of weights and measures test as
many scales as possible.
The law further says that the sal
aries and expenses of sugar beet In
spectors shall be paid by the com
panies, and to provide a fund for this
purpose every sugar beet factory Is
required to make a sworn statement
of the number of tons of sugar beets
sliced, and pay into the state treas
ury an annual tax of one-fourth of a
cent a ton on all beets manufactured
into sugar.
State Spends Millions on Insane.
Michigan has spent considerable
money in the last five years main
taining its various state boards and
institutions, according to statistics
compiled by Auditor General O. B.
Fuller.
One of the biggest items of expense
is the care of the Insane. The cost of
maintaining the various state hos
pitals where insane patients are treat
ed during the last five years was as
follows: Traverse City, $1,349,724.16;
Kalamazoo, $1,204,163.60; Pontlac, SI,
204,163.60; Newberry, $780,459.44;
Ionia, $372,831.18; Elolce. $495,987.60
Free medical attention given the
wards of the state at the University
of Michigan hospital cost $57,628.19.
During the five years the state
banking commission has cost $219,
072.18. The board of state auditors
has expended $1,436,124.70, while the
per diem expense of the members ol
the various state boards amounted tc
$28,400.13. The board of examiners
of barbers has expended $14,925.56.

Fatalities During September. -
Fatalities In the Industrial field ol
the state for the month of Septembei
and cost Wolverine employers $54,
678.
The figures are startling, but when
they are compared with those of Sep
tember, 1912, it will be seen that the
number of fatal accidents has been
greatly reduced. Last year the record
was 40 fatalities. At that time onlj
one-third of the employers of th
state were operating under the com
pensatlon act

The Jorgen Moe monument erected
by the young people's society of Ring- j
erlke, , was unveiled recently in the
presence of some 700 to 800 people.
The monument stands on an elevation
in front of tne Moe residence In Up
per Hoie, Ringerike, where the poets
descendants still live. The monument
is a rough-hewn stone, four meters in
height, with a portrait medallion of
the beloved poet on the front side and
an inscription on the jOther the in
scription bearing these words: "Jor
gen Moe, 1813 1882; erected by the
young people of Ringerike." Mr.
Saetre, the church singer, spoke first
at the exercises, explaining the steps
taken to bring about the erection of
the monument, and was followed by
Prof. Prytz, who delivered the me
morial address, in which he spoke of
the poet's worth, pronouncing him
Ringerike's greatest son. The monu
ment was accepted on behalf of the
Moe family by student Moe Faerden.
A dltpatch from Christianla says that
Thv. KaivcneBs, the author, has been

the tax collector's procedure In de
fense of the rights of the borne. The
court thought' differently, however,
and sentenced him to a prison term.
Klaveness has appealed the case to
the higher court
Klaveness Is well known In the
United States, which he visited sev

Rev. Mlkkal Hertzberg has contrib
uted an article to Tidens Tegn, in
which ho declares It to be an estab
lished fact that culture and morals
have decayed In the communities
where big industrial enterprises have
been established. He deplores espe
cially conditions in Hardanger; that
wonderfully beautiful valley, whose
praises have been sung by poets since
the earliest tlmeB, is no more. Every
where people bow the knee to mam
mon, and mammon Is god. The most
sacred sentiments of the human breast
have been stifled, and the ideals of
true culture are failing. Shall culture
and morals be allowed to depart from
our valleys? asks the preacher.
About 18 months ago "Lord Rob
erts," an English trawler, was appre
hended for unlawful trawling in Norse
waters in Varangerfjord, but the
boat's owner claimed that he was not
in Norse territory and appealed the
case to the supreme court. Since
that time both English and Norwegian
commissions have been studying the
boundary between the Norse and Brit
ish trawling territory, and the case
will be taken up for final adjudication
next December, " " .

vThe feeling is strong in Norway
that the storthing made a mistake
when it declined to accept the invita
tion to participate officially In the
Panama exposition at San Francisco
in 1915, and it now seems probable
that the matter will be taken up again
next year. On account of Norway's
large merchant marine and her ambi
tion to extend her foreign trade, It Is
felt that she ought to have a fitting
exhibition at the Panama exposition.

Sweden.
Miss Jessie Ackerman, a globe-lrvl-ting
suffraget who has spent 22 years
In travel and study of women's condi
tions, has given out an interview to
the Chicago Tribune in reference to
the work of th6 women members of
the Finnish parliament She declares
that the Finnish women have achieved
great power in the politics of the
country, and Is enthusiastic over , the
intelligence of her Finnish sisters.
"At present there are 19 women in
the Finnish parliament," said Miss
Ackerman. "Two or these are doc
tors of philosophy, one is a baroness,
seven are identified with educational
interests, and the other directly rep
resent the peasantry. The peasantry
representatives dress like peasants,
act like peasants, and understand the
peasantry.
"The Finnish women in, parliament
have Introduced 27 bills and passed
23 of them. All of the bills contain
sound principles of economy, and they
found favor with the men. H Is neces
sary that the men vote for the wom
en's bill for them to pass, because tho
women are so in the minority.
"I spoke In English before a large

The Swedes are very numerous in
Brazil, South America, according to
Robert Norris, an electrical engineer
of Norse descent, who lives In the big
South American republic. Mr. Norris
gave an interview recently to Nordisk
Tldende of Brooklyn. N. Y.. in which
he stated that the Scandinavians are
so numerous in Brazil that in many
cities they outnumber all other na
tionalities combined and havo it in
their power to control tho politics of
Borne of the states in the country. In
the city of San Paolo, for Instance,
which has a population of half a mil
lion, 400.000 are Scandinavians, mostly
Swedes, and they not only control the
city politically, but also the state of
which it is the metropolis. The pres
ent governor of that state is a Swede
named Anderson, who is a very popu
lar and able man, and who will be put
forward as a candidate for president
of tho republic at the next election.
The last Thlte president) was a Swede
named "Gust Lundgren, who was
stoned outside of Rio Janeiro by a mob
Incited to riot by the trusts, who ex
ploit the country and wanted to get
rid of Lundgren because they could
not control him. The trusts want ne
gro presidents, because they can be
handled more easily, and since the
downfall of Lundgren a colored man
has filled the presidential chair.
Baron Cpderstrom, the well-known
Swedish aviator, may accompany
Roald Amundsen on the north pole ex
pedition. Negotiations between the
two men have been carried on for
some time, and it is reported that tbey
are about to enter into a contract. It
is announced now that the Amundsen
expedition will carry two aeroplanes.
Instead of one, as at Orel contemplat
ed. It is believed that these aero
planes can be made of great use in
discovering open lanes in the ice floe
for the passage of the Fram and in ex
ploring the territory near the route
of the party. The Idea in having two
is to have one aeroplane lu commis
sion always, if the other should menvJ
with an accident, or to send the oue
to the succor of the other In case of
mishaps. Each machine will be
capable of carrying 800 pounds In ad
dition to the operator, which is equiv
alent to a dogsled load. Baron Ceder
strom Is regarded as a very able and
courageous aviator and would prove a
valuable addition to the Amundspr
party.
. J Denmark.
I have already referred to the signs
of industrial awakening In Denmark's
dependancy, Iceland, but the follow
ing dispatch from Chrislanla throws
further light upon the subject, and will
be read with interest:
English and Icelandic capitalists are
planning a large harbor project near
Reykjavik, Iceland, where they also
will found what they expect will some
day be a big city. The Bite chosen by
them is an excellent natural location
for a harbor and was once considered
as the place for the Reykjavik harbor,
when the improvements now going on
were started. ,
Iceland is Just beginning to wake
up after a sleep of centuries. Indus
try is beginning to discover the pos
sibilities of the island, and tourists
are coming in Increasingly large num
ttrs every year to view the wonderful
natural scenery. In the Interior are
some of the best salmon stream In
Europe and the banks around the Is
land are alive with an inexhaustible
supply of flsh. The waterfalls of the
rivers can be made to supply hundreds
of thousands of horse power, and one
concern has Just completed the
building of a plant that will eventual
ly yield 410,000 horse power.
To begin with the new harbor will
probably be used mainly for fishing
vessels.
Letter-telegrams are being exchanged
between Denmark and Norway, and
the rates are very low, being only two
"oere" per word and 80 "oere" for the

SKILLFUL COMBINATION A RE
CENT WHIM OF FASHION.
Has Much to Recommend It, Especial
ly In the Opportunity It Affords
for OriginalityIllustration
Shows Effect
To combine several materials and
trimmings and then bring them into
a pleasing ensemble by a dash of still
another color and fabric Is one of the
tricks by which fashion Is distinguish
ing herself lately. The Idea is so
capable of such varied treatment, and
allows such a splendid opportunity
for originality, that it is indeed Inter
esting. Also, it permits some practice
in economy, because bits from the
scrapbag can "be worked In with tell
ing results nt, ' perhaps, never before.
For dressy white frocks of hand
kerchief Jlneft, marquisette and voile,
embroideries In eyelet and solid work
play an "Tmp-vrtant part among trim
mings, either In bandings or worked
directly on the material.
Many way a of using the bandings
hitherto unthought of are in evidence.
One pretty method is Illustrated in
the accompanying sketch, where cut
work and solid stitch are combined In
oblong medallions that are set per
pendicularly at small intervals around
the lower part of the pouched tunic
and the blouse, with a single one on
the outside of either sleeve above the
cuff band. This arrangement is real
ly new and undeniably effective.
The blouse of the dress la surpllced
in front and back, with the decolletage
edged with batiste ruffling. The short
sleeves, which are puffed under at
the cuff, are set Into lowered arm-

side, and has a deep hem topped with

SOME NOVELTIES IN VEILS
Those of Tulle With Only a Single
Spot Are Pretty How to
Keep In Position.
Tulle face veils In countless designs
are among the new items of interest,
many of them having but a single spot
in the whole veil. The main object In
wearing this veil is to bring the spot
over the precise port of the face
where It will look most bewitching.
It should be placed either under the
left eye, at the cower of the mouth or
close to the lobe of the ear.
On hats with brims bristling with
feathers, aigrettes or tulle frills, blue,
violet, red or green tullo should be
worn, transformed by means of one
velvet .spot to be worn aa described.
These ' veils are difficult to put on
above the bat borders. Place care
filly beneath the tulle frill or the ai
grette fringe; then fasten 'with two
or three large-headed pins matching
either the veil or the hat
Bring the fotfa round to the back of
your neck and fix them tight together
by means of a brooch, or else leave
the veil loose with two ends falling at
(he back. A veil worn this way Is
especially suited to women with reg
ular features and should be of lac
design.
