For Better Roads.
I Many Americans who live in or
' lear large cities would be surprised
jo hear it stated that the United
^States has the poorest roads of any
jnivillzed country in the world. Nevertheless,
the statement is declared
by all who have had an opportunity
to learn by experience to be
unquestionably true, when the roads
jof the whole country are considered.
Lately there has been much criticism
jof the automobile as being defktructive
of good roads. The damago
|fs so great that in France the GovHernment
has been forced to take up
the matter, and is even now studying
Preventive plans. In the United
States, however, it may be that tho
automobile will yet prove a powerful
mnuence in better roads. The Amsr- '
lean Automobile Association has reIcently
held a two days' good road3
Iconventlon In Buffalo, at which provision
was made (or practical demonstrations
of the best methods of 1
building and repairing, and for 1
jeriments looking toward the dlsrery
of a binding material which
tJ 11 not be sucked out by the pneu- 1
.tic tires. There aro signs, too,
's Youth's Companion, that the old
*j [ley of throwing upon the towns <
k j > burden of building the roads and
If1 ?ptng them in repair is to be super\
' led by the more sensible plan of
fving the State do it. The towns
111, of course, care for their own 1
eets, but the main highways should i
butijjgAnd cared for by the State,
jU th^ are in France, Germany and
/ Hrerland. The National Govern9Et
has decided to send the Direcjt
of the Department of Roads to
mm imei uniiuimi gooa roacis convcnJLon
which will open In Franoe in
Bctober, and at which the problem of J
Bio automobile and the roada will
BMttlve especial attention. ,

Photograph Frames.
The latest frames for photographs
from Paris have a light blje mat
which makes an attractive setting for
a picture. A framer can easily duplicate
one, as the colored mat is really
the thing and can be chosen to match
or contrast with any room. One
often does well to supply their own
mat when having pictures framed,
for certain rooms, especially if tapestry
is used. Many picture shops
can furnish handsome silk or cloth
mats, and it is cheaper to use these
and quite as satisfactory, ns one must
purchase so small a piece for one
picture.?New York Evening Post.
Lamp JViades Important.
When choosing lamp shades for a
room remember that color is of more
importance than the material used.
Porcelain and colored glass are often
very satisfactory, but softer and more
pleasing effects are obtained with
shades of paper or silk. Ee sure to
choose a shade which distributes the
light properly, at the same time saving
the eyes from glare. The color
of the shade should harmonize with
the walls. Red walls reflect red light
best, and green walls are best suited
for green shades. Contrasting colors
dim the light and make a room appear
gloomy.?New Yorh Evening
Post.
New Rugs From Old Carpets.
Our upper hall is a passage hall in
antique oak with green and brown I
burlap. The caroet on the stair* I
leading to it is brown, old yellow and
green. In recarpetlng the hall it was
our wish to use the same carpet as
on the stairs, but when we wanted to
order it we found that the design
was no longer on the loom and that
It was Impossible to get any more of
it. Nothing else seemed to match in
color or design and we were sadly
perplexed. .
At last a thought came to us. We
gathered together the Wilton and velvet
carpets that were so worn and
faded from their latest service in the
laundry that the storage attic
wouldn't take them in. Even the
rag man wouldn't pay his customary
cents for them. These we sent to a
rug company to have two new rugs
made of them in sizes of two and
one-half feet by fourteen feet and
two and one-half feet by five feet.
These firms weave any old carpets
you may have into durable rugs and
are highly to be commended. When I
mir nM ? *- Ji-X ?
icucu, WUI11 UUL, UITLV TUgS
were returned to us we found them
transformed into two beautiful rug3
of softest color. They were woven
as a filler and contained grays, yellows,
light browns and ?n old French
blue. They cost just $6.
For weaving old carpets into new
rugs I am told the ingrains and Brussels
are preferable. If you have any
old carpets about the house do not
be ashamed of them and throw them
away. Keep them until you need a
new rug. It is also well to tell the
weaver that you want a blended color
effect and what the predominating
tone should be. Then, if your carpets
do not have the requisite colors
