FEDERAL AID ACT-MONEY
FOR HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION

II may be well to call attention to
the fact that the federal aid act is in
operation right now and the money
is already appropriated, ready to be
used for construction purposes when
the necessary steps on the part of the
states and executive branch of the
federal government are completed
If state has no highway depart
ment, it should get busy as soon as
its legislature can meet and establish
such a department as it cannot spend
dollar of federal money until such
department is established.
The legislature of each state, or,
pending the assembling of the legis-
lature, the governor of each state
must formally assent to the bill be-
fore any money can be received.
State Road Department Aid Medium.
Application for aid in the improve
ment of any road must be made by
the state highway department. Con
sequently, if anybody in the state de-
sires to have a road improved at the
aid of federal funds it is necessary
that the matter be taken up with the
state highway department and not
with the federal government.
The road to be improved must be a
rural post road, which means road
on which the United States mails are
actually carried. Presumably the gov
eminent will not consider slight
deviation from the road by the mail
route sufficient to disqualify the road
to be considered a rural post road.
If it is desired that local money,
labor and materials be used to make
up half of the cost chargeable to the
state. it must be borne in mind that
the work must be done under the SUI
pervision of the state highway depart
ment. and therefore whatever steps
are necessary to put the work under
such supervision must be taken into
account.
Roads that pass through villages
and towns of less than $500 inhabit
ants can receive the aid Of the gov
ernment funds the same as country
roads If the state highway department
so elects and the federal government
approves.
Streets and roads in places having
a larger population than $500 can
only receive the federal aid on that
portion Of the street or road where
the houses average more than 200
feet apart
Il is evidently the purpose Of the

Victor Moore, the celebrated com
cdian who immortalized "Chimmie
Fadden," will be seen ut the Palace
Friday in the thrilling melodrama,
"The Clown" a Lasky photoplay on
the Paramount program, written es-
peciallv for him b yMarian Fairfax,
the distinguished dramatst, and pro
duced under the personal direction of
William c. DeMille.
Victor Moore is considered the lead
ing photo.dramatic comedian OF the
country-owing TO the fact that he
does not have to resort to the broad
and slapsticll methods to obtain his
fun. The "Chimmic Fadden" pictures
were distinct innovation in the com
edy lines and stamped Mr.. Moore as
a comedian OF unusual excellence. In
the Lasky production of "The Race"
he again identified himself as com
Cdian of the highest order. In THE
Clown" he Is seen both as the harle-
Quin of the circus, and the noble,
human. husband and father. The
story of "The Clown" is of gripping
appeal, as IL tells how the children's
idol risks his life TO save one of his
little admirers, and later sacrifices his
career to protect the honor of another.
How he tries TO better himself, and
how he leaves the woman he has
married TO protect, that she may turn

act to facilitate the building of high
way through the thinly settled por-
tions of cities and towns as far as
practicable, but not to enable cities
and towns to scatter the government
aid around on streets which are strict
ly urban in character.
Some of the states which have large
convict forces are contemplating the
use of the convicts as part of the
states contribution. Georgia, for eX-
ample. has a bill under consideration
to place about 500 or 1000 convicts
at work on a state system of high
ways and using funds derived from
the automobile registrations, together
with the federal aid allotment, in the
building of the state system of high
ways. Virginia has a large force of
state convicts organized in about 80
camps and is therefore in excellent
position to make use of these con-
yicts as a part of her proportion of
cost if she elects to do so.
This feature of the federal aid bill
which allows the use of labor, ma
terials and equipment in lieu of mon
ey will have the effect, so to speak,
of mobilizing all possible resources so
| that nothing need go to waste while
the opportunity presents itself OF
building a great system Of highways.
State Highways With Federal Money.
There are 81 states which have
provided or taken steps to provide in
some measure for the establishment
of state highway systems. The other
II states must by the logic of events
ultimately adopt the same policy. Now
that the federal money is available
/ it should by all means be restricted
to the building of these important
state highways.
Undoubtedly the state highways are
those which serve the largest number
of people in the fullest measure, and
it is the part of wisdom and economy
to first improve the important high
ways. Many of the states find it diff
cult to obtain sufficient funds to take
up the work as it sn,,-. be done and
to such states the government aid
will prove the greatest possible boon.
If they do not apply this federal mon
ey to the state highways, it will be
frittered away in disconnected stretch
es of local roads which, as time goes
on, will disintegrate and disappear,
leaving little or nothing to show for
the outlay.
It is the imperative duty of all who
have the best interests of their state
at heart to use every possible en-
deavor to bring about the expenditure
