Of this sum $73,125,000 is ap- portioned: under the federal highway act, approved by President Harding November 9, last, and $266,750,000 represents ‘the- total apportionment under the old acts. i . Under. the_terms of the new act the federal ald money will be available to the states for two years after the close of the fiscal year for which -the money Is appropriated. This provision is made ‘| to..apply. to the money appropriated under the: prévious act and its amend- ment as well'as to the new appropria- tlon. Accordingly, the new appropria- tion must be expended by June 30, 1924, and the time allowed for the expenditure ‘of the balance of the previous appropriation which remains in some states is extended to June 30, 1023, The forest road appropriation i3 available until expended. The new appropriation is to be ex- pended upon a definite, connected sys- tem of highways in each state, of not to exceed 7 per cent of the total mile- age of highways already. existing in the state. This system is to be divided into two parts; the first to in- clude the more Important roads, which are to be known as the primary or interstate highways; the second to A Model Stretch of Improved Roadway. include the secondary or‘lntercounty highways.

MONEY IN QUEBEC HIGHWAYS Amount Now Reaches Sum of $86,000,- 000—Foreign Motorcars Leave $35,000,000, Forty thousand miles of roads In the province of Quebec occupy an area of 320,000 acres, which at $30 an acre, makes a value of $18,000,000, according to S. L, Squires, chairman of the ex- ecutive committee of the Canadlan Good Roads assoclation. The cost of the work done on the highways prior to 1912 aggregated $40,000,000, while the amount spent by the province since that date amounted to $30,000,000. This constituted a total investment in Quebec roads of $86,000,000. The number of motorcars entering Quebec in 1920 totaled 34,435. These foreign cars left no less than $33- 867,200. It Is expected that when the final figures for 1921 are compiled this amount will total approximately -$35,- 000,000, ———— FEW RURAL ROADS SURFACED Of an Estimated Total of 2,478,552 Miles of Highways Only 299,135 Are Improved, Despite the fact that the United States has 7,000,000 motor-driven ve- hicles in operation—leading the world in thig respect=—moterists will be sur- prised to'learti that but 12 per cent of the roads of this country are surfaced, Out, of an estimated tofal of 2478552 % “'miies of pubfic rural roads, ogly about 299,135 dre: sarfaced or improyed. ad Buildingy ' A total of 28135 miles of ronds were " puilt, under construction ar under agreement for construction throughout the United ‘States since July 1, 1916, The cost of the rondways is §496,151,- 683.43, or an average cost of $17,630 per mile.

Always it was my desire’te ask questions about the things of the outdoors which I did not understand, I saw an old man approaching. He looked kindly and intelligent, and T asked him about the weed. He told me all about it in language which fas- cinated me. In turn, he began to ques- tlon me. “We walked back to San Francisco together over the sand dunes, and he asked me more questions about my self and my work and ambitions, and advised me to study nature at every opportunity and to learn to write and speak of what I saw. The stranger was John Muir. His advice gave me something definite to work toward. “I owe everything to him. If it hadn't been for him I would have been a mere gypsy. He told me to systematize my knowledge and that then I would be able to write,"—The Book :Leaf. HAD TO JOIN THE PARADE Colored Taxicab Driver Was There, But Couldn’t Be Said to Have Enjoyed It. There was a Ku Klux Klan parade over in Virginia recently in which some colored men took an active and unasked-for part. Colored people like parades, but, judging from the story of that colored taxicab driv. er, that is still one kind of parnde they will willingly miss. This driver was approached on the street by a group of well-dressed men, who hired him to take them over into Virginia, The car went over tho streets, and over the roads, and into the country. After awhile the cars seemed to thicken. More and more cars were encountered. At last the taxi came to a fork in the road. Ahead was a bright light. The cars contalned the strangest-looking persons, all garbed in white robes, with long pointed hats. “Boss,” exclaimed the colored driver, looking ahead at the figures, “I guess I can't take yo' no farthor tonight, Look at dem Ku Kiux!" * Turning around to personally pro- test to his fares, his eyes were greeted by the sight of ten eyes peering at him from behind white cloth, while the white gowns scemed to fill the entire car. The fares had quickly slipped on robes, and were all ready to particl- pate In the parade. Much against his will, . the colored taxi man was pre- vailed upon to continue, and thus be- come a particlpant in the parade.— Washington Star. ] SPECIALISTS CHRONIC DISEASES Good Safe Treatment FREE--FREE!
