The women of Missouri have started
a campaign for good roads, under the
direction of Logan Walter Page, direc-
tor of theUnited States Office of public
roads and of the good roads committee
of the National Mothers Congress. of
which Mrs. Frank DeGarmo, recently
of Shreveport, is chairman. The cam
paign is purely educational, with no
connection whatever with any political
party or issue. Mr.. Page has drawn up
a good roads bill which will be intro
duced in the next session of the Mis-
souri, Legislature The committee of the
Mothers Congress and the State Grange
will work for it.
The gospel of good roads is being
preached all over the land. In reality
road building is nothing new, but old,
very old, dating back to the time of
Cheops 1900 B. C. This old pyramid
builder, King of Egypt, was without
doubt a road builder. Greek historians
tell us that Cheops kept 100000 men at
work on Pyramid avenue for ten years.
Cheops also built another road from his
huge pyramid to the Arabian mountains
to make easier the transportation of the
material for the vast work. That road
is supposed to have been iii good condi-
ton up to within 400 years of the Chris
tan era. Fragments of the road exist
today
Babylon established a system OF good
roads extending to different parts of
the empire. The great road Of which
Herodotus speaks extended from Suza
to Sardis, more than 900 miles. Egypt,
Babylon, aCrthage and Rome all saw
the military advantage of good roads
and one of these nations after the other
dominated the world. As history does
not tell us anything of improved roads
before the day of King Cheops, we must
give him credit for originating them.
So we are COCO years behind Egypt in
road building. But now we are all astir
over good roads, from Maine to Texas
and from east to west.
Georgia is at work on system of
roads which will give months touring
without going over the same ground
twice, and Atlanta expects soon to con-
meet with Florida.
Some counties in Virginia are build
ing macadarn roads and Others have ex-
cellent gravel roads. Moore county in
North Carolina has sand clay road
built by contract for $500 per mile.
Frank Weldon. who has studied the
subject and knows what every section is
doing says, that road methods through
out the southeast are still in forrna-
tive stage, and that very few of the SUI
perintendents have had any experience
except such as they have picked up.
Not one in twenty has had training as
an engineer, and possibly none of the
states in this section have state high
way department. But the awkening has
come. The enhanced values of land,
the saving in time, are reconeiling the
farmers to the higher taxes called for
to build permanent roads. Good roads
permit the little roadster to run, while
in connection with the rural telephone
are the greatest convenience of country
life today.

THE PANAMA EXPOSITION.

Act No. 2, which is the fifteenth
amendment, is designed to give to the
Panama Exposition Company authority
to issue bonds to carry on the EXPOSE
ton. The bonds are to be secured by
a tax of not to exceed II mills and
relates to New Orleans, which is to be-
come the security, if the proposition is
carried
New Orleans is now overwhelmingly
in debt, and to add this burden to that
municipality must mean bankruptcy or
extreme embarrassment, and finally the
State would be compelled to assume the
liquidation of this debt if created by its
endorsement of the tax on which bonds
are to be issued by the Panama Expo
sition Company To avoid complica-
tons unpleasant in the future, practical
business sense and not sentiment would
suggest the defeat of this amendment,
as well as the amendment which pro-
vides the levy of a State tax in aid of
THIS EXPOSITION.
It is being said and detained through
the press by and through the agents Of
the exposition company, that Louisiana
will reap extraordinary benefits from
the proposed scheme; that lands will
double and triple in value and that there
will be experienced an era of prosper
ity as has never been known or felt
since the days of Adam and Eve, all Of
which is predieated on the action Of
Congress in the recognition of New Or
leans as the logical"
Assuming that the scheme has beer
declared to have been carried and that
Congress shall conclude that @the log
ical point is not to be favored with
recognition and authority from tht

WHERE NEW RULES.
DIFFER FROM LAST
Concise Explanation Of Changes
Made by the Football
Committee
MOLESKIN MEN WOULD
DO WELL TO STUDY UP

Here's the best plan for noting the
differences between the football rules
Of 1909 and those arranged by the
rules committee for 1870
Not Allowable.
One attacking player must be in
motion obliquely, as well as directly,
toward his own goal before snapped.
Players Except guards) may ad-
vance the ball without its being first
handled by quarter back. and through
any part of the line.
Forward pass may go over any part
of the line.
Players taken out of game up to the
last quarter may re-enter the game
once.
A new feature is the division of
play into four fifteen-minute periods.
Three-minute rests between first and
second and third and fourth periods
will be in vogue. A fifteen-minute rest
will be permitted between the second
and third periods.
Now Prohibited.
Pushing or pulling runner having
the ball.
Interlocked interference.
Diving tackles Zone foot must be on

A definite line on the possibilities
Of the new football rules is looked
for this week. when Yale. Harvard,
Princeton. Dartmouth, Brown, West
Point, Annapolis and Cornell play
their first games OF the season.
Coaches refuse to accept the defeat
OF Pennsylvania by Ursinus Saturday
as indicating that the 1910 rules have
weakened the game or placed an un-
due premium on the lighter teams.
They say that Pennsylvania defeat
was merely one of the fortunes of
the game, such as turned up now and

GET LINE ON GRIDIRON TEAMS

From the camps of the big teams,
however, come reports to-day that the
coaches are "aeroplaning" slightly
and looking with misgivings onBhe
outcome Of their first games.
Saturdays games proved one thing
cOnclusively; the new game will be
more open than the old, which IL is
said. will make it much more inter-
esting from the spectators standpoint
With the open game comes the greater
chance for unexpected and startling
plays and a degree of uncertainty that
will undoubtedly make the game more
of a popular sport than It has been
before.
