4 STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM

Unto January i, 1914, the State Of
Maryland had issued S9i70, GOO WORTH
OF bonds for highway Improvement,
and the total amount OF such bonds
issued by the State, counties and
districts, end not including those is
sued by Baltimore city for highyay
Improvement was $500, 900, or
something more than. one-tenth OF
the total OF S93 1905, ,2D7 issued by the
South Other highway bonds to the
amopnt OF several million dollars
million dollars were Issued by Mary
land In 1914 The proceeds of the
bonds have been used In bringing to

prchensiye plan of State trunk nfgli-

- ~ few
short links, some OF them already
under contract, are to be built sto
round out the system, and it is
thought that thai end will be reach
ed this year. The system ha salready
been an inspiration to local road i'm
provement. and its completion is eX-
pected to give an even greater i'm
petus. The total length of public
roads in the State is 1925 miles, o!
which less than 1000 have been i'm
proved. But in the ten years between
1904 and 1914 the Improved length
increased from 1870 miles to 1926, OF
at the rate of nearly 100 per cent. Ia
the same period the improved length
of the S55,557 miles of public roada
In the South increased 29,S53 miles
to 62,790 miles, or as the rate of 11d
per cent.
These figures, while marking mos.
gratifying progress, indicate the vas.
amount of work still to be done be-.
fore the South shall have an ado.
quate highway system. The work
under the State auspices In Mary
land has been in many respects u
model one, based upon plan whici.
other States in the South may. well
follow with such adaptations as may
be called for by circumstances DIFF
fering in different States. The Soufr
has an advantage over other parts
of the country In possessing prac.
tically every kind OF natural ma.
terial for road building, or resources
from which road materials are made
and practically every kind OF such
material has already been used In
constructing roads In the South.
State geological surveys and other
agencies are instant In giving wide
publicity to local road-building ma
terials, and there is a steadily In.
creasing inclination to make use OF
engineering knowledge and exper-
fence in determining the best use Of
such material. At the same time the
problem of economic maintansnce is
also receiving greater attention.
Demonstration Of the advantages of
improved highways IS encouraging
taxpayers to undertake, directly or
Indirectly, greater financial respon-
stbilities for highway Improvement

New York.-The dedicatory services

house of worship on West One Hun
dred and Thirty sixth street Sunday.
Dec. 20. and will continue until Sun
day, Jan. 3.
Mother Zion church was founded in
1896. The first church was built on
the corner of Church and Leonard
streets in 1900 and rebuilt in 1920.
The first annual conference was or
ganized in 1921. In 1889 the church
was destroyed by fire and was rebuilt
in 1910. The Sabbath school was or
ganized in 1915. In 1850 the member
ship had so completely outgrown its
quarters that the congregation moved
its home to the corner Of Bleecker and
Tenth streets. Here it prospered un-
til the business interests in the down
town section made another change nee
eSSary.
AS rents downtown were so exor-
bitant it soon became evident >that
the congregation must move uptown.
which it did in 1904, at which time
it built a magnificent structure at
cost Of $4,000. When our people be-
gan to settle so thickly in the section
known as Harlem the church soon dis
covered that if it would hold what it
had gained, if it would keep in touch
with its large membership, another
change in it's location would be neces-
sary: hence the congregation set out to
find a suitable site nearer the majority
of its membership.
To the present pastor, the Rev. J. w.
Brown. D. D., is due the credit for the
completion of what at first seemed
complicated notwithstanding to
Harlem. The new church is splen-
did stone structure with all modern
improvements and is beautifully stu
ated.

Our Christmas programme this sea-

the Christmas Tree Thursday evening
right straight through the Watch
night service, the exercises were skill
fully rendered and greatly enjoyed by
the big audiences which flocked out
to witness them. Perhaps the most
talked-about service was the early
Xmas morning program when the
choir thrilled it's audience through
and through with the latest Christ
mas music. So sweetly were strains
of music sent forth through the still
ness of morning that persons passing
the streets were captivated and drawn
contrary to their plan, into the audi
torium. From all sides comes a word
of praise for our choir. Our service
Sunday was also a splendid one, the
offering ran up to $4,000.

heartily, the members of his congre-
cation for remembering him ana Mrs.

DOG ATTACKS SNAKE
TO PROTECT CHILD

New York, Aug. G.-Don, collie
dog owned by John Miller Of Fairfield
avenue, West Caldwell, n. j., gave up
his life yesterday to save Agnes, the
six-year-old daughter of his master.
Agnes and her elder sister Clara
were romping with the dog when it
bounced upon a copperhead snake di-
rectly in the path of the little girl.
The elder sister grabbed Agnes and
ran home with her and informed their
father.
Miller ran to the scene with club,
but before he got there the dog had
killed the snake, but had himself been
bitten. Shortly after he got back to
the house he showed symptoms of
poisoning and soon afterward died.
Miss Clara Miller said that had not
the dog tackled the snake when he
did her little sister would have been
bitten.

of practically every section of the
state were present.
The representatives we're called by

and the Hattiesburg Commercial Club,
the two organizations foremost in the
work of securing better roads for Mis-
sissippi. The meeting was held in the
rooms of the Hattiesburg CONNER

The new organization will be known
as the Gulf Coast and Mississippi
Highway Association. It's objects
will be the developing of the road
from Gulfport to Hattiesburg, as a
link of the Dixie Highway, and the
repair of the highway between Me-
rdian and GulfpOrt as a link of the
Lincoln Highway.

will be adopted by the two big ma

be included in their rOutings and log
books.
A log from Jackson to Gulfport and
from Meridian to Gulfport already
has been made, and is now in the
press. Thousands of copies of the log
will be printed and distributed broad
cast throughout the country.
The Gulf Coast and Mississippi
Highway Association will formulate
and carry out ways and means for the
betterment of these roads.
Fix the Bad Places" will be one
of the slogans to be adopted later.
Officers were elected at the meeting
yesterday, among them being II vice
presidents. These latter are scatter
ed over the two highways. Should a
bad place appear in any of the roads
by notifying the vice president in that
vicinity, the matter will be taken UP
Immediately by the association.
