BEAUTY SQUAD DEMURS
T0ADvERT|S|NG LOOKS
But Suffrage Band for Membership
Campaign Is Willing to
Work.

The suffrage cause is not Shy on
beauties but the suffrage beauties are
shy.
Ihey wish to appeal to mere man to
grant them equal voting privilege be-
cause they have the weight of argu-
ment on their side, so they say-because
they have brains. not because they
have French dolly faces"
for that reason many of the fifty
that the Congressional Union for Wom-
an Suffrage had selected as beauty
squad to campaign for 500 recruits dur
ing the "melnbership week." starting
today. begged to be excused
IheE are quite willing to work for
the cause they said. but not to have
their personal pulchrtude advertised
just as though We could help it. They
are all willing to admit that their
beauty is natural

SUFFRAGE PUBLICATIONS
Votes-for-Women Advocates Regard
1t as Straw Indicating Strength
of Movement.

Suffrage advocates assert that the
strength of the votes-for-women move
ment may be gauged in a measure by
the number of publications devoted ex-
clusively to suffrage. There are about
eighty. published in twenty-five coun-
tries.
The United States leads the world in
the number of special suffrage papers.
There are eighteen of them one quarter

BILL FOR GOOD ROADS
IS ABOUT s2O6,00O,00O
Renresents an Increase of More Than
25O Per Cent
Since 1904.

Approximately 1906, 600 was spent
in behalf of the good roads NOV Feihen'
last wear. according to statlstics PIC
nared by the Department OF Asricui-
ture This is an increase OF over |oo
nor cent since 1904. when the totai
spent on public roads was only >'S'
100000.
This awakening to the Importance OF
good roads has, experts say, peen que
largely to the principle of state ana 10
counties and other local communities.
New Jersey began the movement IN 1881
when it passed it's state highway law.
Massachusetts, and Vermont folloWed
wear later, but other states We're sio"
TO move, In 1904 only fifteen had state
highway departments: today there are
only six that have not.
Value of State Aid.
The value of this state aid is. how
ever, not to be measured by the hsures
alone. for the bulk of the money comes
from the counties and townships Last
wear local communities contributed, IN
round numbers, S1660OO00o as against
appropriations from state treasures OIL
S3S,755,OSs. The true Importance OF tnis
s3S 900 900 lies in the fact that IT means
expert supervision of the expenditure OF
a considerable portion of the vast sum
of 500, 100000. The best enS1neerins
skill is available for all works OF nm
portance. and there is co-operation anu
a constant stimulus to further Improve
ments. The money contributed by the
state does not only build more roads. IT
makes, it is asserted. better those that
other money builds, it is asserted.
Ten Per Cent Improved.
At the present time there are in the
United States 20.741 miles of roads i'm
proved either wholly or in part by state
aid OF the ..2226,S42 miles of roads i'll
the United States. .23,774 miles, or ap-
proximately 10 per cent, are classed as
improved.
From material gathered by the United
States Department of Agriculture it is
now possible to prove not only that good
roads are a profitable investment. but to
determine exactly what dividends they
pay.

BOXING CLUB
In BELLAIRE
rroHT FANS or OHIO TOWN. con-
SIDERING MATTER OF
ORGANIZATION.
Movement VIII Ne Pushed and a 10 IN
dsrstood That GOOD Building For
Bouts Can Re Secured

Beliaire nght fans numbering about
three hundred have decided 70 organize
a boxing club IN that city. The pronot-
ers OF this subject. who are we'll known
and Influential men OF Bellalre. have al
ready taken the initial step toward the
orEtnization Of this club.
The majority OF the fans who wit
messed the bout. Wednesday evening
between Jack Coyne. the Orange y j.
.Sd and stony Ritz. are OF the opinisn
that Coyne had the best OF the bout
and that Ritz was saved from a knock
out by Referee Garveys decision,
awarding the bout TO Ritz on an al
legged foul.
Bellaire has several good places In
which 90 hold boxing bouts. and the
promoters stated yesterday that they
would spend large sum OF money In
hNinE up, one OF the places which they
now have In view. Also that several
or the famous fighters OF the coast
would be brought 20 this city FOR the
opening attraction. The membership
OF THIS club Is growing rapidly and all
arrangements will probably be COM
pleted IN few days.
This town has always been well
known In boxing circles as a live wire
and In former years, numerous inter-
ssting bouts were pulled on In Bellaire,
by men who now stand high in this
branch OF sport The majority OF the
people or Bellaire would support clean
boxing bouts. but there are a few who
are opposed in any kind OF boxing. In
speaking Of this matter. one OF the city
officials stated that he thought that
football was Tar worse than boxing
would prohibit one and let the other
run.
