prams Pe Be oS re a: te HIGHWAY ASSOCIATION PLEDGES: ITSELF TO WORK FOR BONDS TO se scicpes om BUILD ROADS AT CLOSE OF WAR Chauncey C. Bever of Thermopolis Elected Head of Yellowstone Association for Coming Year at Annual Meeting Held in Douglas (Special to T DOUGLAS, Wyo., Sept. 1 he Tribune.) 4.—The Yellowstone Highway association, of Wyoming, held its fourth annual meeting and election of officers in Douglas Friday. Chauncey C. Bever, of Thermopolis, was elected chairman for the ens ing year, to succeed Gus Holmes, who has served the association so faith- fully from its inception to the An executive committee will be ap-| pointed by the chairman to manage) the affairs of this growing and ex-| tremely useful organization. Resolutions were passed that it be| the work of the association to secure | an amendment to the constitution of | the state of Wyoming so that as soon! as the war is ended the state may float bonds for the building of cement highways over the lines of the main arteries of state travel, beginning, of course, with the Yellowstone highway from Cheyenne to Yellowstone Na- tional park. It was a very enthusiastic meting largely attended by men of promi- nence from all parts of the state. The meeting was addressed by Harry Burhans, publicity man for the Den- ver bureau of information and park tours; A. R. Johnson, consulting en- gineer for the Portland Cement As- sociation of America, who came thru frpm Washington city to meet with the association; and Robert D. Carey chairman of the state highway com- mission. The principal office of the association will now be located at Thermopolis. eee eer USE GIRL USHERS Girls are to replace men in most of the work at the Colum- bus American association base- ball parks this season, according to present plans. The reason for the change, as explained by President and Man- ager Joe Tinker, is a mixture of patriotism and the extreme difficulty in obtaining men for the work. When fans buy their tickets they will receive their change from a fair cashier. They will hand their ducats to a trim bru- nette, or perhaps a blonde. A unjformed girl will operate the turnstiles, and girls will be em- ployed as ushers. * Temperance Notes ~The stock arguments of the Nquor trade have no value today. Great cities have adopted prohibition with no disturbance to banks, groceries, real estate or hotels, except on the right side of the ledger. Unprecedented | prosperity has silenced the liquor men’s prophecy of “miles of empty stores and decreased bank deposits.” | Increased population and additionul ‘throngs of summer tourists have for- | ever quieted the liquor men's groan | that “summer travelers and prospec- tive home seekers avoid prohibition | centers.” Even the circus performers prefer dry to liquor localities—on the | plain proposition of larger profits. The netion today needs the able-bodied men who make and sell liquor. Use- ful and constructive jobs are awaiting those who by the coming of prohibition would be “thrown out of employment.” Hundreds of avenues of urgent work beckon the seller of distilled liquors and the men engaged in the brewing und vinous trades. . To the lMquor dealers the defeat of suffrage always means a victory for thelr interests. The trade expends thousands of dollars each year in pro- moting publicity against votes for women. “Woman suffrage in New York state,” predicted one widely dis- tributed circular of the liquor trade, “would kill the malted industry of the United States.’ Woman suffrage in the Empire state has arrived! The malted industry must go! The pathway of prohibition for many years has run parallel with the path- way of woman suffrage. Today brave women who have blazed the way for suffrage or prohibition are jubilant as together they press forward on the broad highway of Christian cftizenship and exalted patriotism. Total abstinence and prohibition can both be recommended to the American people as articles not “made in Ger- many.” It is true that in the years agone the kaiser, desiring to maintain autocracy and conquer the world, ad- vised his naval cadets to abstain from alcohol. But the chapter of horrors familiar to readers of war news proves that German officers and men demor- alized by drink have committed un- speakable crimes against womanhood and childhood—the blackest puge in the world’s history of inhumanity. The kaiser ought to have long and serious thoughts concerning his prophecy thaf “the nation which takes the smallest quantity of alcohol will win the battles of the future.” Autocracy and alcohol will both be overthrown. Democracy and sobriety will win. rete. Ladies’ tailoring, L, 4 latest fashions. | Moore, Tailor, 163 So. Center. ahs aoe fa i |) present time. PROPER WIDTH OF HIGHWAYS Writer Advocates Narrower Roads and Restoring Acres of Valuable Land to Farming. Just at this time many are inter ested in the question, how wide should our public roads be? A umber of things should be considered in an- swering this question, says a writer jn Utah Farmer, The kind of mate- rial to be used in making the road. The topographical conditions through which the road will pass, the proper drainage of the road. The special use to which the road may be put, if any. For years very little attention has been given to the waste of land in our road building. Land has been cheap and plentiful and years ago we did not Good Road in West. give the attention to proper rod building as we do now. Public roads have béen of a uniform width of 66 feet and the by-roads about 40 feet. They have been too wide if we were to judge by the condition in which we find many of them. Wasted land on either side is used only to grow weeds. Why not make them the width that is used and plant trees on either side as we have advocated in these col- umns before? Then the thousands of acres of land that are now practically wasted could be put to some good use, Some of the Eastern railroads are teaching us a lesson in this regard for they are farming their right-of- way. On a recent trip East I saw great long stretches of land on either side of the railroad track planted to, alfalfa. Acres were planted to truck gardening. I understand similar con- ditions are to be found in some parts of California. For the sake of economy in building and upkeep let's build our roads more narrow. Restore the acres of valuable land to farming. Build scientifically {constructed roads the proper width | and plant trees on both sides. KEEPING UP COUNTRY ROADS Whether or Not Farmer Lives on Pub: lic Highway He Should Take In- terest in Nearest One. Every farmer should feel his de pendence upon good roads. Whether or not one lives on a public highway he should take an Interest in the near- est one to his farm or the road he must use to market his farm, orchard and garden products, There are many times when a day's work can be spared for the road. Aft- er heavy rains the road may need cer- tain repairs or improvements when the overseer is not ready to call out the hands. Why not ind/vidual farmers denate a day’s work sn the road at such time? By keeping a road drog and drag- ging the road along one’s land after heavy rains the road may be greatly improved. It is an easy matter to have an agreement so each farmer will drag the roafl in front of his farm. This would ‘saintain the rond till the regu- lar hands could be called out at stated intervals or till the commissioner could make the repairs. The time has come when we must consider the roads an asset, indis- pensable to the well-being of the farm- er and his family. This being true, is {t not every man’s duty to do all he can to keep the roads in good condi- tion? — Mrs. La Tour has made quite a name for her store in Casper and vi- cinity by showing only the latest styles and fashions and in spite of the business conditions now preval ent in the east, she has been able to stock the best styles the New Yor! makers are now putting out for the ELEY IK INSTITUTE Eighteenth and Curt» DENVER, COLO.

Helps French Munition Workers: —— | they are called by the French, aré run by the American Y, W. C. A. for girls and women who are working in the great munition factories of France. | Two of these are in St. Etienne and three in Lyon. All have cafeterias connected with them, Girls and women who work in these | | factories are of all classes and ages, but all are French. The men em- ployees are of every nation—Chinese, Cingalese, Algeriun, Moroccan and Portuguese. Many of the women are refugees. Muttitudes have lost every relative and friend. There are daugh- ters, mothers and grandmothers among | them. These foyers are the only place ex- cept the street that the majority have in which to spend their out of work hours. Barracks for sleeping, eating | and bathing are the only provision | made for the comfort of the workers | by the management of the factories. The women and girls meet their! men and women friends in the foyers, sew, write letters, press out their waists, stitch on the sewing machines, | read and rest, The rooms are their homes. Games and entertainment are | provided and educational classes, Of} the classes the English ones are by far the most popular, All these foyers are sanctioned by the French Ministry of War. ja. “A series of unearthly wails from | the siren that announces an air raid and we are out of our beds and down | in the bomb parlor in double quick time,” writes a woman who lives at the Hotel Petrograd in Paris, “Many times I have made the flight twice in a night. But you get used to it and drop off to sleep again as soon as you get the chance, “The ‘bomb parlor’ is one of the unique features of the Petrograd. It is not its officlal title—a few of us have named it that. It Is a good sized room at the* bottom of the house and has no outside walls, Once there, we | feel as safe from harm as we ever did in our beds. We spend the time be- tween the ‘alerte’ that turns us out of bed and the ‘all clear’ signal that tells us to go back, with games, reading and visiting. I have seen Red Cross nurses on the floor fast asleep in spite of the awful din of the bombs and guns. “More kinds of uniforms in all stages of freshness and fading come into the Petrograd, which is the Amer- ican Y.

A, hostess house of ; Paris, than any other place fn France. | Soldiers and sailors meet their women friends there; there are the Red Cross nurses, the women of the Signal Corps, American women stenographers, vari- ous medical orders, the ¥. W. C. | naturally, and all the rest. It is a nev- er ending, strangely shifting throng. | “Besides being unique for its ‘bomb parlor, the hotel serves butter for breakfast and has bathing facilities for its resident guests at all hours. These are enough to give lasting fame to any house in France at this time, Last winter it was known as the ‘house with warm rooms.’ The Hotel Petrograd of Paris is one | of the three Y. W. ©. A. hostess houses | in France. The others are at Bourgés and Tours. The social rooms of all | are open to any woman or girl at any | time of day or evening to meet her) men or women friends, rest, enjoy so* | cjal intercourse, read or write. FOREIGN WOMEN LEARN | ' {A corps of translators and inter- preters in fifteen different languages are employed by the War Work Coun- cil of the Y. W. C. A. They instruct foreign-born women whose husbands | have been called into the service in such intimate questions as the laws | reinting to rentals and labor, in the care of children and in how to use American foods in dishes adhpted to foreign tastes and present high prices, This last work is done in co-operation with the Government Food Conserva. tion Commission and the Home Dem- onstration sWork of the U. S. Agricul- tural Department. Leaflets are sent out and articles circulated through the foreign newspa- pers. One of the efforts is to tell these strangers of the resources for them- selves and their. children which this country provides. ES eee ey yi | HARVEST THE CROPS AND WHIP THE KAISER. “Hunger is the Kaiser's best weap- on.” The Y. W. C, A. believes it, This is v it is making it possible for high school girls in New York state to help farmers in the fields; for col- lege girls in the Middle West to do general farm work; for Polish women in New Jersey to pick potatoes and for boys and girls across the continent in Washington to gather fruits. All this work is part of the cam- | paign to “save the crops and beat the Huns.” It is the aim of the Y, W. C. A. to demonstrate thé best ways of housing and feeding farm laborers and so take the burden from farmers’ wives, In all the places where women are working under the direction of the Y. a house ts provided for the , With a supervisor in charge.
