which the Legislature has set aside
for the direct use of the present State
Highway Department Out of this
amount S2,553,270.14 was in the State
Treasury uneXpended on June ], 1914.
This makes the amount actually eN-
pended $10,104,0S2.76 instead of s1A,-
905, 541.33.
It is a mistake to assume that even
this S10,1O4. 4.0S2.76 has been handed
over to the State Highway Depart
ment to eXpend IT as it saw fit. On
the contrary the Legislature specifi-
cally designated the various purposes
for which the great bulk of this
money was to be used and the de-
partment had no authority to spend
these funds except in the manner and
for the purposes laid down by the
Legislatures and has not attempted to
do so.
For example, out of the $40. ~
0S2.76 of appropriations expended, the
Legislatures required that S1,9OO,OOO
could be used solely for State aid, the
expenditure of which must be initiated
by the counties, townships and bor-
oughs and that S2,000,000 could be
expended only for maintenance and
for no other purposes. There were
various other restrictions as to how
the department was to be permitted
to use the money.
AS a matter of fact only s5.700,000
was appropriated by the Legislatures
for the actual work of construction of
State highways.
Another important fact is that. in
addition to the $12.657. $3.50 mem
toned above. there is the sum of ST.
24S1SS.4S which must be considered
solely as a fund over which the de-
partment could exercise no discretion
other than that of trustee. This sum
included the township bonus funds set
aside by the Legislatures of 1911 and
1913 and the turnpike purchase fund.
There is also to be taken into ac-
count the automobile division expense
appropriations amounting to S295, 900.
This money is designated for salaries.
automobile license tags and expenses
of that division of the State Govern
ment which has to do with the licens-
ing of motor vehicles. 1t has properly
no relation whatever to highway con-
struction or maintenance, although it
collects and turns into the State
Treasury more than a million dollars
a year.
To set up the contention that the
department has expended $9.344,
4OS.65, or anything like that sum, in
overhead charges. it is necessary ar
bitrarily to classify as overhead

HIGHWAYS
REPORT ANSWERS
Charges of Excessive Overhead
Charges Are Met With State
ments of Cold Figures

A resume of the annual report of
the State Highway Department for the
year ending June l. 1914, completely
upsets the contention of various news
papers and candidates and their echo
ers that overhead" expenses of the
department have run over sixty per
cent. In fact the cold figures of the
report show that instead of money
having been paid out as charged that
there is a large balance in bank.
The ridiculous assertion that sixty
eight cents out of every dollar ex-
pended by the State Highway De-
partment goes towards overhead
charges is riddled by the logical eX-
position of the truth told by the fig
ures. These facts are made clear in
II is not true that s14.9O5.541.33 has
heen "turned over to State Highway
Commissioner Bigelow.
1t is not true that the Legislature
has appropriated that amount of
money for the direct use of the de-
partment.
II is not true that $9,344,40s.65 has
been expended in overhead charges.
With regard TO the amount appro-
priated. the truth is that s12,657,-
$500 is the sum total of all funds

showing all State and township roads,
which maps the Legislature ordered
to be made for the information of the
public; the S12,342 expended for per-
manent metal signs and sign posts for
the benefit OF the travelling public; the
S36GI21.98 expended for machinery,
tools and equipment, which constitute
a substantial asset: the S22,70707 for
advertising of bids for construction
of roads and bridges and for the pur-
chase of material and equipment; the
S3,0S1, ,743.24 expended for mainte-
nance OF State highways and State
aid highways
To assert that these and other sim
liar items must be considered as over
head charges simply because they do
not enter into contact awards for ac-
tual road building is manifestly alb
surd.
With reference to the so-called
percentage contracts" it should be
said, in the first place, that this sys-
tenn is used quite generally by corpora
tions, especially in railroad work, and
the construction of large buildings.
1t was employed with varying de-
grees of success. by the State High
way Department in the early days of
it's existence but has been abandoned.
1t is not hard to give an appear
ance of high mileage cost of road con-
struction by picking out instances
where big engineering difficulties have
confronted the department and by
disregarding the fact that much of
the work In the beginning of modern
road building in Pennsylvania has
been done where the greatest of these
problems existed. AS an instance
might be cited the twelve miles of
road through the Lewistown Narrows,
the construction Of which involved the
cutting away of the mountain side
for long distances

Nerves and How They Affect Women as
Compared With Men

prostration." and they all say. You
lucky dear!'
When lady has nerves you don't
dast cross her. and you keep out of
her way because she talks right back
to you if you are her husband, and
she scolds the servants and slaps the
children.
My grandma says that when a
woman used to act that way they
called il temper. And my papa says
that nerves are a modern improve
ment. Then my grandma says, Poor
John" l wonder why.
When a lady has nerves she always
has lots to talk about. She can talk
about them almost as much as she can
when she has an operation, although
of course nerves are not quite so eN-
citing as having your appendix taken
out. But they are more refined, and
they last longer, and you can always
have something new happening to
them.
There are a great many kinds OF
nervous prostration. There's the kind
YOU have, which comes on sudden,
when You get a letter that your hus-
bands mother is coming to pay you
visit. And there's the kind of nervous
prostration YOU get when YOU want TO
20 TO tne SSaSnOre IN tne summer.
And there's the kind of nervous pros
tration that YOU get when YOU want
TO break up housekeeping and so and
live in a hotel, and there's the kind
of nerves you get when folks won't
do things your way.
l specs there's a million kinds of
nerves, and some women have got
them all.
Men don't seem to have so many
nerves like ladies. But when q man
has nerves they smell funny. like my
papa's whisky bottle. l saw Mr..
Brown one day when Mrs. Brown said
he was awful nervous, and he walked
terrible queer and couldn't find the
door. and she put him to bed. and put
ice cloths on his head, and when my
mamma has nerves my papa bangs the
door behind him and beats it.
People who have nervous prostra-
ton do not die, and they look awful
we'll and wear good clothes. but their
families look sick and have on last
years hats.

housework any more. When a woman
cooks and washes and makes the
clothes for the family, and walks the
baby that has the collie, she complains
about her back aching, or her feet
hurting, but when woman says, "Oh,
my poor nerves." you know that she
does not do anything but read novels
and go bargain hunting.
Nerves are the most elegant kind
of disease that there is. They are
also the most convenient because If
YOU have nerves YOU do not nave a
fever or look sick, and you can eat
anything YOU like or do anything
YOU want to. You don't have to work
because ii makes YOU nervous to work,
and YOU don't have to go TO church
because it makes you nervous TO
listen to n long sermon; but YOU can
play golf all day because golf rests
your nerves. and you can go to the
theater because it quiets your nerves.
When lady has nervous prostra-
tion it makes her very happy, because
her husband that she must get away
from home and the children. and
that she must go on a long, beautiful
trip, and that he mustn't worry her
by telling her that times are hard
and that she must economize.
The Lady Rises to the Occasion
Then the lady puts on her best pink
and lace negligee, and her boudoir

she telephones for her lady friends

come she says, Il have got nervous
