Sheriff Hood has begun movement to break up the. dives where white men gather with negro women and where ne- gro women keep places for the assem- bling of white girls and women for im- moral purposes. Of raid made Satur- day night Sheriff Hood said: Tt Is well, perhaps, that the general public does not know all of the shocking details con- nected with that raid. It revealed many startling facts. not the least of which are the many evils that grow out of the failure to properly enforce the vagrancy laws" Of the negro houses where white girls go the sheriff said: T shall never let up on this class of negro women until every house of the kind has been closed in Montgomery"

GREAT PUBLIC HIGHWAY TO
BE MADE BY PRISON LABOR

Under the provisions of senate bill
No. 90. by Senator Barela, passed by
the last general assembly, work is to
be begun this summer on the state
highway, running from the state line
below Trinidad as far north as Fort
Collins, and passing through Colorado
Springs.
According to dispatches from Den
yer. Secretary c. E. Hagar of the State
just returned from Canon City, where
he has been comforting with Warden
Cleghorn of the penitentiary. relative
to sending our regularly equipped
gangs of convicts to work on the pro-
jected state thoroughfare. According
to Mr. Hagar, convicts will soon be
sent to Trinidad to begin this project,
toward which the legislature appropri-
ated 10000 Some twenty-five men
have already been worked on the
roads at Canon City, and on the county
line between that city and Florence.
The convicts are placed under guard
and while they are still far from free
dom they appreciate chance to
breathe fresh air again. They sleep
in tents and are not chained. Only
men who will submit to the most rigid
discipline are chosen for this work.
and no chances are taken that would
permit OF an escape.
This roadway will be one Of the best

WHY SHOES ARE sQUEAKLEss

WHY SHOES ARE SQUEAKLESS.
 ''Do you remember" asked the shoe salesman, "the days when new shoes the shoemaker put wooden pegs in the middle of the sole. about every week to stop the noise? Sometimes you soaked the soles of your shoes in water and then had to rub them with lard or some other kind of greaee to get them flexible. You don't have to do that now. The new welt has taken the squeak away In the old days the soles of shoes consisted of two even pieces of leather, and the friction of these two pieces caused the squeak when a person walked.
 Shoes are made different now. You see that little piece of ridged leather that runs from the heel around the outside of the sole? That's what we call the welt It is piece of leather about an inch wide, sewed to a flap cut and turned under the inside. The speace between the outer side and the insole is filled with ordinary tar paper, which holds the soles, in shap and also prevents squeaking by taking away the friction. This system of a welt was invented thirty years ago, but at first it wasn't a success, be cause the soles were sewed with a straight needle. Couldn't explain it to you in one hundred years, but to prevent the squeaking the sole of the shoe have to be sewed with a crook ed needle. ."-Kansas City Star.
