TO STUDY ROAD CONDI-
 TIONS IN 100 COUNTIES
Department Agriculture in CoOpera- tiOn with States Seek Data Look ing Toward Standardized
 System of Management.

Washington, D. C., May 18.-Detail- ed studies of local road building sys- tems in 100 counties are now being carried on by the Department of Az riculture in cooperation with the State highway departments and local road authorities.
 The purpose of this study is to dis cover the points of excellence and de- fleets in existing local methods of building and maintaining roads which will aid the State authorities to put local road management on a systema- tized basis. The cooperating State authorities have been asked to desig- nate counties that present typical and exceptional features as to topography character of road materials, methods of construction and maintenance, ad- ministrative organization, methods of road financing, and traffic conditions. From these lists 100 counties will be selected and in these counties the Divi- sion of Road Economies will make in tensive studies.
 This investigation is prompted by the fact that there is at present very little knowledge as to the most effec- tive and economical methods by which county can develop it's roads. At present the methods of financing local road improvements vary from calling on farmers for a certain number of days labor in lieu of road tax, or the use of county prisoners in road construction, to bond issues or main tenance of roads from dram shop li- cense funds.
 The Department will study all of these systems with the view of de- termining what system or combina- tion of systems works best in actual practice.
 There Is, moreover, at present no standard system of keeping accounts for road building and maintenance, and as a result, while some countries know to a penny the purpose for which money was spent, others have no definite check or reporting system. Among various counties with the same conditions, cost for excavation or other labor is anything but uniform, and many counties, because of the absence of definite knowledge, fail to use To- cal and cheap materials and construct roads which are unnecessarily eXpen- sive for their purpose, or which will wear out before the bond issues are redeemed. The investigation will in clude a careful study of the use of convict labor in road construction.
 In connection with the scientific study the Departments highway en- gineers will advise with local officials as to Improvements, and thus give each county visited the advantage of direct cooperation, engineering super vision and assistance.
 These investigations, it is believed will yield important economic data bearing especially on the benefits and burdens of road improvement and showing the extent to which financial outlay under given typical conditions is justifiable.
 The heads of State highway de- partments are manifesting great in terest and are cooperating cordial ly in this work. These data when ob- tained will be published and thus made accessible to all county and state road officials.

REBELS MAY MOVE
 TOWARD CAPITOL Aguiar Likely to Cut Off Mexico City Light and Power. Constitution alists Meeting Success
 South of Capitol

Vera Cruz, May 17.-That Consti- nationalist detachment which has been campaigning along the cost north of Vera Cruz may be sent on a short cut across the country directly to- ward the capital, is a move regarded by military men here as not impos- sible. But 1t is not considered likely that the Constituencies will at tempt to worry the Federals now in front of the American lines.
 Threatens Mexico City
 It generally is believed that the greater part of the Constitutional army under General Gonzales will be sent forward from Tampico to unite with the main body in the campaign against Saltillo and San Luis Potosi, but that those under General Candido Aguilar, who occupied Tuxpam, will be sent to the vicinity of Necaxa. where electrical energy is generated for Mexico City.
 This would place them in a position to cut the capital off from light and power. General Aguilar also could be utilized to advantage in that part of the country to organize numerous bands of independent Constitution alists.
 Break Huerta's Last Line.
 To the south of Vera Cruz a band of Constitutionalists under Dr. Cama- cho, has been meeting with consider able success. His forces last were re- ported as surrounding Tierra Blanca, a division point on the Vera Cruz and Isthmus railroad. There was only a small garrison there, and he would have little difficulty in gaining posses sion. The occupation of this point would enable the Constituencies to break General Huerta's last line of communication with the east coast.
 Another point connected with the occupation of Tierra Blanca is that it would probably result in stopping the train service from the capital to Puer- to Mexico, and interfere seriously with the departure of refugees.

held an open-air meeting in Bonner,
which was highly successful. The
suffrage advocates spoke from an au-

been no more delightful setting for

BETTER THAN. EVER

SHOWMEN
ANNUAL ELkS' MlNSTRELS PRE-
SENTED WITH SUCCESS BE-
FORE LARGE HOUSE.

Better than ever before was the
minstrel show presented last evening
by He'll Gate lodge, 3S3. That's saying
a lot when one considers the class of
previous performances, but the state
ment rides. The Elks have never ap-
peared to better advantage than they
did last night. Songs were new and
we'll sung, jokes were snappy. the
staging was excellent and the olio,
which concluded the show, was new
and clever in conception.
A large audience heard the per-
formance last evening. Tonight the
show will be offered second time and
the expressions heard last night as
the crowd was leaving indicated that
the house will be packed again.
It's hard to tell about the minstrel
show without going through the pro-
gram from one end to the other. Every
performer was star and the men

ity is difficut-all were good.

| Tonight the performance will be re-
