dams, to walk forth free men.
These Apaches who have been held
as prisoners Of war for twenty seven
years have been allowed to decide
whether they would accept allotments
of land in Oklahoma or would return
to the Mescalero country in New
Mexico, in the region where their am
cestors lived and hunted. OF the 2G1
members of the tribe cighty-six chose
TO remain In the land where they have
lived prisoners for generation while
the remaining two-thirds still heard
the call of the land of their fathers.
So a portion Of the tribe will become
landowners and free men in Okla
homa, while freedom for the balance
will mean likewise the breathing Of
the airs of the arid southwest.
This remnant of an Apache tribe
which Uncle Sam has been holding
as prisoners of war, is by no means
the tribe Of Indians that he captured
twenty-seven years ago. The ravagcs
of time and disease have carried off
the older Indians at a much greater
rate than they have the younger ones.

PLANNING FOR BETTER ROADS
Method Of Construction Must Be Put
In Operation Which Will Produce
More Durable HIehways.

"Waterbound macadam roads, which
for practically q century have been
adequate for the traffic. have now.
under the new conditions, become OBJ
solete, and their further construction
means a serious waste Of public
funds" Is the opinion Of former Presi-
dent Lewis r. Speare OF the Ameri-
can Automobile association.
"Macadam may answer for side
roads and cross roads where there is
little travel to wear the surface into
dust. and few fast moving vehicles to
throw the dust into the air to be
blown away. But for main roads. any.
where and everywhere. q method Of
construction must be put in operation
which will produce durable roads.
Wherever 1t can be used concrete
