SOMETHING ABOUT PAINTER
BILL IN MISSOURI.
Within the next sixty days a start
is TO be made upon the state system
of roads made possible by the legis'
iature. BY summer, work on the sew
en- thousand miles of road, connect
ing every county seat in the state

system of highways.
The Painter Bill, providing for TINS
ipter-connecting system of highways
has not been signed by Gov. Major
but it will be taken up and approved
1.-THE last of this week. At the same
time. 1t is said, Governor Major will
veto the Carter Maverick" BILL
which would have taken the money
from the road fund and distributed It
among the counties, leaving none to
nav for the improvement Of the state
system. That would have made the
Painter Bill imperative for two years
h at least.
II is UP to the newly created
state highway department and the
. county courts TO put the new
! state system on its feet. The bill
lnow before Governor Major for sigma
: ture, however, carries an emergenc!
! clause and specifically states wheT
! and how the county court shall act
"A The provisions of this bill, probably
,v the most important road Legislation
i Missouri has enacted, are:
Within sixty days the county court
OF each county shall name two high
way commissioners and the state hig

who shall constitute the county high

GALLAUDET WINNER
IN COMEBACK GAME
FROM BAL T|MORE
Buff and Blue Gets Into Stride
and Defeats Rival Aggrega-
ton With Ease.

Gallaudet is celebrating a comeback
game today, having taken the Baltimore
City College five into camp by S7-to-2l
score in the return basketball game
The Buff and Blue was defeated earlier
in the year but came back strong.
Battiste, the Indian athlete. playing
cente rfor the Gallaudet team. showed
all his old time speed and ably as
sisted his teammates at all times. Gal
laudet jumped into the lead at the
start of the game and gave a demon
stration which proved that the past
week has been productive OF best pos
sible workouts. -- -S7-
Keeley and Rasmussen performed in
acceptable style for Gallaudet, scoring
the bulk of the goals and keeping the
visitors on their defense at all times
1t took fully five minutes before the
Gallaudet players gauged the baskets.
Neither team did much in the first
part of the contest, but when fully
warmed up Gallaudet showed its su-
periority over the visitors by clever
passing and better individual work.
