PUBLIC-ROADS BUREAU WORK Plans, Specifications and Estimates . Are, Examined and Approved “in"Short Period. Over 50 per cent ot all applications for federal aid are handled in tbe dis- trict- offices of the bureau of public roads,. United States department of agriculture in an average of five days; 90 per cent of them pass the chief engineer’s office if3Washington to final approval ‘in four days. The plans, specifications and estimates which the sjates furnish- and which have to be reviewed, sometimes checked, and al- ‘ways reported on in detail with specific recommendations, pass the district engineer’s office at about . the same rate as the applications and 90 per cent of them pass the district engineer’s office in.three and a half days. There are at present over 3,000 active -federal ‘ald projects in the United States. The federal 2id act is administered with three per.cent.of the appropria- tions and this fund is carefully con- trolled :each month on the basis of actual ‘performance under the law. As an {llustration of efficlent adminis- tratlon, district No, 8, with offices located inf Montgomery, Alabama, cost the govemment $78,547, from Decem- ber, 1910, to April, 1920, inclusive. This is an average of $1,916 per month. Reports from the district engineer for that district show that the bureau’s engineering review and technical ad- vice in connection with state projects submitted have resulted In large sav- ings In road construction. A single case in one state was revised by the district engineer’s; office at a saving Granite Blocla Laid and Rammed — Maintenance Cost of This Kind of _Pavement 1s-Less Than That of Any Other Kind. of $13,638.26, Ahother project was redeslgneq to cost-$10,000 less at the time the plans were revxewed by the bureaw. ° EMPLOY CONVICTS ON ROADS Satisfactory Results Reported From Twelve States Where Experiment { Has Been Tried. Twelve : states have tried the em- ployment of convict labor for road building thoroughly, and report that the results have been satisfactory. They aré Arizona, Oklghoma, Florida, Maryland, Illinois, Louisiana, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Nebraska. Since the United States government has made its great appropriations for good roads, which the states are du- plicating as the federal law requires as fast as their legislatures meet, the department of agriculture has been making a complete survey of the meth- ods of road building in the states. Concerning the use of convict labor the conclusion from these reports is that where:the convicts are well fed and housed they work well, save the state in construction costs, and them- selves profit physically and mentally. —Syracuse Post Standard. CASH FOR IMPROVING ROADS Total Amount for 1919 Placed at $138,- 000,000 in Report by Bureau of Public Roads.

We all know the advantages of k3 youthful appear- ance. Your hair is your charm. I makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and looks streaked, Just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundred-fold. Don’t stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store a bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound,” which is merely the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use preparation, because it darkens the hair beautifully, besides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so natur- ally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after an- other application or two, its natural color is restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger. LL or our pro- fessional ener- gies are dignified by a simple beautiful, grace.
