Sculptor Engaged to Make Duitt Be

The government ha at Inst recog

future generations a true likeness of
the old Indian type, now fast disap
pearing, and Frank Mlckn. a New
York sculptor 1ms been sent to tho
western Indian roservntkms to mako

The completed busts and mnsks will

"The greatest obstnelo that I have
to overcome." snld Mr. Mlckn. "la tho
superstition of the Indians, especially
of the women. They seem to think if
a likeness Is made of them it means
their dentil. So they will not poso for

WHITE A PERIL TO CHILDREN.
Doctor Says It Causes Irritability nnd
Is Sheer Cruelty.
A statement which will bo read with
interest by every parent Is mado by a
well known Loudon doctor, who has
come out with tho assertion that tho
uso of the color whlto Is bo bad for
young children that its almost univor-
Bal employment on nnd around them
Is nothing short of cruolty. "Much of
the lrrltabiencss and peevishness of
babies and children may," he says, "bo
put down to tholr constant association
with -whlto.
"Bnnlsh whlto from your nurseries!
Seo that everything about the children
Is colored, either green, blue or yellow
their clothes, cots, toys, nursery
wall papers nnd even ceilings.
"Many nurseries are decorated like
this a snow white cot, whlto or
creamy paper (relieved perhaps by a
fairy tnle frieze) and whlto ceilings.
Tho babies, of course, wear wldto
clothes, and when they go out there Is
a -whlto perambulator with a glaring
whlto hood at which baby Ilea and
stares.
"It is sheer cruelty. It Is Just like
placing anybody on tho Alps, whero
ho cannot escape from tho monotonous
dazzling fields of snow. Apart from
tho discomfort, whlto is extremely
hurtful to tho dellcnto retina of tho
eyes and may permanently disarrange
tho sight
"Mako tho nursery bright and cheer
ful with soft colors. My own nursery
Is tempered n soft green, nnd my
two children rarely wear only whlto
clotlics. Toys, cots, baby carriages
everything should bo colored never,
by tho wny, a bright red, which Is
oven more lrrltntlng thnn white."

OUR HIGHWAYS.
Harrlsburg, --Aug, 2.9. Almost
$25,000,000 or one-half of tho
amount of tho bond leauti--which It Is
proposed to ' Ijsuef 1n' Pennsylvania
for tho construction of a system of
Stato highways, was appropriated by
tho Stato of New York last year for
the construction and maintenance of
roads. In the samo year 'Pennsylva
nia's total appropriations for road
purposes approximated hardly one
fourth of the amount specifically de
voted to roads In New York state.
New York In the samo year re
organized Its State Highway adminis
tration, nbollshlng the highway com
mission of threo members and
creating a State Highway depart
ment along tho lines followed by tho
Sproul highway department act of
1911 In this State. The same gen
oral plan for construction of high
ways has been adopted in Ohio and
Maryland, which have created high
way departments and set aside largo
sums for the making of experiments
and tho necessary work preliminary
to the establishment of a system of
State Highways. New Jersey Is
planning development of its already
extensive system of highways and
Indiana, Illinois, Texas, Kansas and
other western States have embarked
In road building on a scale which
will make the Keystone Stato hustlo
to hold up Its end.
Figures obtained by the Pennsyl
vania Motor Federation, which is
working earnestly for the establish
ment and maintenance of a system
of roads that will connect county
market towns and traverse tho rlc'h
farming and scenic sections of
Pennsylvania, show how New York
has undertaken to build and main
tain roads which at many points
will connect with those projected In
Pennsylvania.
Tho Now York appropriations aro
an object lesson to Pennsylvania,
who will bo called on next year to
vote on the proposition to Issue ?50,
000,000 of bonds, divided over a per
iod of years, for road construction.
