In dealing: with this transportation problem, Mr. Crawford concluded, we must remember that our highways . are on a strictly toll basis and that we must give consideration to the traffic, where it originates and where it goes. The expenditure of these | funds must be where the resulting | improvement will serve the traffic. | HONOR TO SCANDINAVIAN MADISON. Wis.

Coming Gereration to Be Taller

These hot midsummer days and nights have can? t d more than one individual to wonder how far off is the day when the average homo will be air-condi-tioned, making it possible to live as comfortably in summer as in winter. Despite the fact that 50 per cent more air-conditioning equipment will be sold in 1937 than last year, investigation into the situation is not encouraging. Two chief obstacles in the way of universal air-conditioning are the expense and the amount of water needed for cooling

systems. Cities would have to increase their water supply several times over If air-conditioning were much more widespread. And the cost of original apparatus, at the present time, runs about $2,000 per borne and operating expenses range from $25 to $50 a month. But rapid strides are being made in respect to improving equipment and lowering costs ami the day should not be far off when "home made weather” will be a common reality for the better class of homes as well as offices and stores

tics indicate that the oncoming generation of Americans will isicierably taller than the average height of present and past ations. But it does not follow that the old belief is true that he 'ght means shorter life. A survey shows that the heaita ■'"'Sevity of individuals ranging from six feet three inches to feet two inches is quite as favorable on an average as that or ' Persons. This popular notion possibly arose from the comiv ely short lives of real giants. Robert Wadlow of Illinois ac k Earle of Texas, both eight feet six inches and tallest curgiants, have leas chance of normal health and span or years. '8 hy past records which show that such individuals are less well off than the average. v

New Fall Hats of Distinctive Design

New hats are even more unusual in design for the fall season this year than last. At the left is a towering model which has a devastating new silhouette. It is of hunting green and was created by Schiaparelli. A chapeau that is new in design and yet will not scare the conservative is the

double brim toque model at lower right. It has a beautiful thrush veil and is smartly practical. An example of the hat with handles is shown at upper right. It is very chic yet not biztyre, made of Norica velour and is auburn browo. No trimming adorns this model.

Plugger Vital to Tin Pan Alley

One of the important factors in keeping Tin Pan Alley's tune factories producing is the modern song plugger. It is he—a dapper gentleman of wide acquaintance and smooth manner—who is the middleman between the tunesmiths and the artists and public foe whom they compose. It is his job to persuade stage and radio stars, especially the latter, to introduce new songs and thus interest the public in buying the sheet music. Much in the manner of the_ “contact man'' of brokerage offices, he manages to ingratiate him*” self with headliners of the broadcasting world and get them to pze* sent the latest songs. His contacts are made in the radio studios, at dinner or some other social occasion, and he has proved himself an invaluable adjunct to the specialiited business of tune selling.
