=g s T - k3 e ————————] FEDERAL AID FOR ROAD WORK Small Amount Paid Out in 1918 Was Because of Steps Taken for Conservation. {Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Although $14,550,000 was avallable Yor expenditure on fhe post roads from ‘the federal aid road act, only $425,445 ‘was pald from federal funds in the highway construction season of 1918 on all projects. The reason for this, according to the annual report of the secretary of agriculture, was the steps taken to conserve money, labor, trans- portation and materials in highway work during the war, and at the same time to facilitate really essential high- way projects. In connection with the federal aid road work a letter was addressed to each state highway department asking that a program of federal ald con- struction be submitted at the earliest possible date, in which would be in- cluded only those projects which the state highway departments considered vitally necessary to the transportation facilities of the country. At the request of the capital issues committee, engineers of the depart- ment were made available for inspect- ing and reporting upon proposed high- way and irrigation and drainage bond issues. Inspections were made of 181 separate projects, involving total bond issues of $86,912,306. An arrangement was made with the fuel administra- tion whereby highways of special im- portance should recelve enough bitu- quate maintenance, and where neces- sary to permit construction and re- construction. From May 13, 1918, when the co-operation became actively effective, until the close of the fiscal year, 2,235 applications, calling for 75,000,000 gallons of bituminous mate- rial, were received from states, coun- ties and municipalities. Of this amount approval was given and permits were issued for 58,000,000 gallons. In order to co-ordinate the activities of various government agencies, so far as they relate to highways; better to conserve materials, transportation, money and labor; to eliminate delays and uncertainties, and to provide posi- tive assistance in carrying on vitally effective highway work, the secretary requested each of the government de- partments and administrations inter- Massa- Building a Good Road in chusetts. ested to name a representative to serve on a council to deal with high- way projects during the period of the war.

San Francisco.—~After seelng a mov- ing picture of her husband, Corporal Marius J. Johnson, lying wounded In a hospital tent in France, Mrs. Anna Johnson received a telegram from the war department at Washington an- nouncing his death of wounds on Octo- ber 15. Mrs. Johnson attended a perform- ance of “Under Four Flags,” the third officlal government film, at a local playhouse and saw her husband’s face caught in a swift flash of the cinema camera. He was lying on a cot In a fleld hospital. It was apparently by mere accident that he was pictured, the tent flap being obviously accidentally blown ta one side just as the camera’s eye swept in that direction.

Philadelphia, Pa.—Trixie, a collie dog, was a witness for her mistress in Common Pleas Court No. 5 in the trial of the sult of Mrs. Helen Butkus, who clalmed to have been bitten by the dog, against Mrs. Mary A. Chambers, the dog’s owner. According to Mrs. Butkus, she was attacked by Trixie on July 31, 1917, when she entered the vestibule of Mrs. Chambers' home to purchase some household effects. She testified the dog bit her in the left thigh, causing tears and abrasions of the skin and flesh. : Trixle’s owner denied the dog had been guilty of such a violent temper and questioned the truth of the plain- tif’s story. Mrs. Chambers ddmitted Trixie was a lively puppy, but good- tempered and a playfellow for the children of the neighborhood. To demonstrate the truth of this, Trixie was brought into court and scampered about among the jurors, who later returned a verdict for the dog's owner. Learning comes be- fore earning.
