So much for the Lincoln highway as a meqns of transportation a transcontinental road Ilnkj ing the United States by slates. Consider now the Lincoln way ns a beauty spot and a memorial. not only to the Orent Emancipator, but to (he heroes who follow ed bis example and won the freedom of the world In the great war. The roadside planting of the Lincoln way Is In charge of the General Federation of Womens Clubs. TMs organization hns a membership of' 2,500,000 members. It has a state federation In every state In the Union. Mary K. Shefman. chairman of the conservation department of the general federation, has secured a comprehensive planting plan for the way. This plan hns been worked out by Jens Jensen, a noted landscape engineer of Chlcago. Tif general It provides for the planting of trees, shrubs and flowers Indigenous to the locality. For example, blue prints Now the time for national action has arrived. Thus the time Is ripe for roads and trees for remembrance. The United States Is going to expend $500,000,000 In the next few years on a national highway system of Interstate arterial routes. It only remains to be seen what agency of the federal government Is to have charge of the construction. If the department of agriculture and the atate highway commissions do the work, the government and the states will share the expense, half and half. If a highway commission Is established by congress to have charge of the work the share of the states will be apportioned In order that states like Nevada. Wyoming and Arizona shall not be too heavily burdened. As to the feature of memorial trees, this Is also the chosen time. Public sentiment turns toward the Idea. Events all over the country forecast a , general memorial planting. The American Forestry association, of which Charles Iaithrop 1nck Is president, has Issued a call for memorial tree planting. It !s registering all memorial trees and giving certificates of registration; also Instructions for planting. Rev. Ur. Francis C. Clark has called upon the Christian Endeavor societies to plant memorial miles of Illinois. These prints the details kinds of trees, shrubs necessary give all and flowers for each locality; suggestions for grouping each. The clubs of the several states through which the way passes will see n It that the planting Is done. Many clubs In other states will plant memorial miles on the way and In addition carry out the same plan In application to Lincoln way feeders In their own states. Features of this roadside planting of the Lincoln way by the general federation are memorial trees In honor of Individual heroes; groves, fountains. camping places alonga the road; fruit, and nut trees for .the birds and bird janctuary from ocean to ocean.

To Abraham Lincoln have probably more memorials been erected than to any .other man. Which of all these memorials Is most Impressive most fitting? Consider now the Lincoln highway as It is and as It la soon to be. Tho Lincoln highway Is an object lesson of what Is and what Is to be In a memorial road. More than 3,000 miles In length. It runs east ami west through the heart of America, with giant north and south feeder highways, Joining the Atlantic and the Taclflc. It traverses 11 states. Fifteen millions have been expended on It In the last five years. Already there are nearly 400 re and brick And pavlng-- a than 1,000 miles of macadam. It Is In operation from end to end. It carries an endless procession of Americans In their own automobiles. The year round It is dotted with freight trucks. At this very moment the federal government has under way on the Lloeoln way across the continent an exit lbjlHin train. It started from Was&Ington. and from Gettysburg, Pa the route Is over the Lincoln way. to Pittsburgh, Camden and Bucyrus, O.; Fort Wayne, Ind.; Chicago Heights, 111.; Clinton.

These marks correspond to the fourehette pieces bettveen the fingers. In earll- - tiraM gloves were not made so neatly gJ they are today, and the s!'!nng of the fingers was carried down part of the way on to the back of tin- glove, braid being used to conceal the seams!

Through the narrow lanes of Moocities the water carrier, who bai s filled his at the nearest fountain, piles his trade from house to house. The town of Morocco doe not extend open, smiling arms to the stranger. The houses present cold, forbidding fronts. The winding, irregultr streets twist and turn In a bewlhlcrlnl fashion, and the low arches, often Unking house with hpae, convert the streets Into a aeries of high-- tilled, semiopen courtyards, still more confusing to the uninitiated.
