(Attractive Glassware -:- y Annette uradshaw1 Roman Emperors and American Workmen Modern Conveniences Indicate Progress Architecture for comfort and convenience has pro gressed more rapidly in this nation than in any other. The poorest American home generally has its bath tub, electric lights, gas or electric water heater and telephone. A great percentage of the homes have in addition, gas or electricity for cooking; the house is wired to plug in a vacuum cleaner in every room ; the dining room is pro vided with fixtures to operate an electric coffee pot, waf fle iron, toaster or other convenience for table use. In the washroom will be the electric washing machine, the electric and gas operated ironing machine, and probably an electric clothes drying outfit. In the kitchen will be the electric dishwasher and the electric refrigerator. This latter article is just coming into more general use, and in conjunction with the laundry equipment, will be the greatest r:?ney and labor saver for the housewife that has yet been devised. The gas furnace, controlled automatically, and lit by an electric push button, has made the old days of wood chopping largely a thing of the past. For comfort, the electric fan keeps a breeze going, and for beauty and utility the modern electric lights and fixtures transform a house of gloom into one of cheer and hominess. Elec tricity plays an important part in milady's toilet and does work which many hand maidens would have been unable to accomplish in the days of the Roman emperors. The "electric servant" does work in the American home for a few dollars a month which could not be accomplished in any other manner by numerous servants at a hundred times that price. The home with the inter-connected telephone to the different rooms saves countless steps for its occupants. While Egyptian tombs are being opened to dig out relics of monarchs of past ages, it is interesting to note that they contain no conveniences to compare with those which the common laborer in the United States' can enjoy today. We have read about the Roman baths and seen pic tures of big fat Romans walking down into them, but it is pretty safe to say that they were a chilly proposition alongside of the American bathroom with itst instantane ous hot water heater ready for use at any hour of the day or night. Incidentally, the truck driver or millionaire of today can have the same type of bathroom equipment at a modest cost, but only a Roman emperor could enjoy the "pleasure" of a Roman bath. H AVE you ever in your Ufa seen such lovely glassware as is to bo found in the shops today? It's a joy and delight to walk around and see all the wond erful things which one can buy to add to the attractive neses of the home. Whether they are for decoration or for practical use, the pleasure in finding some of the gorgeous things now shown more than repays for the bit of addit ional expense. Instead of the plain white flassware, to which we have ecome accustomed, one can now carry out any selected color scheme of decoration for the formal dinner or luncheon with the tinted flassware. A few choice bits which I have found in shopping around are shown above. In the center is an adorable iced tea or lemonade set In amber glass, with white glass handles. The fan shaped vase with its dainty bouquet of wild flowers and the compote of fruit are also in amber. All these pieces can be had in various other colors. The long stemmed glasses shown to the upper left ara in a delicate green, with deeper green stems and white base. These are for punch, or the ever popular "cup." To the tipper right are the deep ringed glass and goblet now so popular as water glasses. These come in shades of amber, green, red, ame thyst and blue and go far in dressing a table. The finger bowl and plate in the lower left hund comer are in iridescent glass with a vivid colored edge. The tall glass is in crystal delicately etched in gold. The salad plate and mayon naise bowl are in cryiial with a deep border of gold. The goblets in the lower right, tne smaljer of which may be used as a sherbet cup, are in crystal, deeply etched in old, with colored bases. The few pieces sketched above are among the ones most popularly used new, but with a little time in which to shop around, the woman whs wants something different for her luncheon table, or for the porch tea wagon can find any number of things which will immediately stamp her as a hosts si of tastes. One can find salad plates. Ire cream plataa, sandwich plates in as Imitation crackled glass, at a moderate nrice. A few flowers, a dainty table cloth, nice silver and attractive glasses, tastefully arranged, make a table over which any woman may be proud to preside.

Unnecessary Expenditures Cut Road Mileage 'Work Should Be Done Right At Start Our annual road bill is approaching the billion-dollar mark. The cost of state highways, not to mention county roads, runs up to astonishing totals millions and mil lions of dollars per state. , , With thousands of miles of road to be paved in prac tically every state, and available funds for only some hundreds of miles, it is essential that the officials charged with the expenditures of the taxpayer's dollar study types of pavement which will give the maximum wear'and at a minimum of expense for first cost and maintenance. The California Oil World criticizes the highway pro gram in California, which it claims, calls for an unneces sary expenditure of $10,000 a mile for highway repair work where cement concrete is used for surfacing, when more satisfactory results could be secured with asphaltic concrete at a great saving. It is necessary to lay a heavier course of cement con crete over a broken or bhattered piece of road than would be required with asphaltic concrete, because the cement does not have the elastic qualities of the asphalt to bind the broken and loose particles of the road base into a shock-absorbing resilient mass- Every dollar unnecessarily expended for new pave ment or maintenance, means that road which could other wise be hard-surfaced must go unpaved. 1 Department of commerce figures give the gross in come of farmers during the year ending June 30, as $12, 136,000,000, or $848,000,000 more than for the previous year. o Beat Sale on for Pirates of Pen tance Like all pirates, they want our money, but unlike the common or garden variety, these are will ing to work for It.

A Professional Idealist, who sows Great Thoughts and dis pense good cheer, through the land at so much per word, be moans the fact that materialism Is driving romance out of the world. He sees the United States being engulfed in a great wave of ma terialism. Materialism, he orates. Is a foe to the achievement of the higher realms of happiness. Nonsense. What Is a materialist? Tho dictionaries display their usual limitations with the definition that a materialist Is one who "takes Interest only In the 'material or bodily necessities and comforts of life." Ed Howe, tho Sage of Potato Hill, Kansas, provides a much bet ter definition: 1 "A materialist la one who be lieves In the known history of tho world, proved by long oxporlcnce and Investigation, and does not believe In fables which have never been proven In a single Instance.

"If you have an Important mes sage to send, and send it by means of the telegraph, or the telephone, or by mall. Instead of telepathy, ' you are a materialist.

"If you believe In parents di recting children, you ara a mater ialist. "If by a life of worthy Industry, you accumulate a modest compe tence for the days when you are no looser able to work, you are a materialist. "If ypu believe In education, In progress.
