AS THE
NEWS BREAKS

Houston, Texas. May 3.--The an
nual convention Of the Texas Wom-
ems Bankers Association, held stimuli
taneously with the Texas Bankers
Association, opened herb today, on
the second day of the annual session
Of the main body. The program calls
for a one-day meeting.
Members of the association are
wives of Texas bankers and often
women bankers themselves, the num-
Der being comparatively few, how
ever.
Among the addresses to be heard
during the session were: "The Re-
lation Of Improved Rural Homes to
Increased Bank Deposits" by Mrs. ].
L. Landrum of Austin, and Thrift
and Savings" by Miss Lydia Lit.
man Of Dallas.
Discussion of movement to edu'
cation OF Texas children in thrift was
one of the features OF the session. II
will follow Miss Littman's address
and ways and means to carry out this
project were to be discussed.
There are approximately 100 mem
bers of the women's auxiliary asso
citation. The officers are: Mrs. Left
Ter Corbit, Austin, president; Miss
Mae Denison, San Antonio, secretary
and Miss Susie Shake, Dallas, treas
urer.

ind 1t entirely gone or with two or
three planks gone, with the result thai
some person and probably a horse or
two are drowned. Then another death
trap will be built.
The writer knows whereof he
speaks. He knows of n case where
three men drove on to what they
thought was a culvert. The water had
backed up from the main creek and
covered the culvert and it looked all
right, but it was partly washed away.
The outcome was one man nearly
drowned, and both horses drowned
and f1Oated down stream. Another
case under my own observation was
that of. a &hreshing engine which
went through a culvert eight or ten
feet wide and about that deep. What
happened? "A fireman was scalded to
death.
Now If our good roads boosters will
have more to say for good cement
culverts, and on the byroads, they
will have less opposition. Yours for
good culverts.

Iowa Is lauded by the department Of

way construction has been given to
the state, and a comparison with the
results obtained when the supervision
rested entirely with the counties

GOOD cULVERTS ARE NEEDED
Crossroads and Byroads Are Put
Of With Old Wooden Contrap-
tiono-Accidents Result.

There is a good deal being said and
written about good roads. / fear that
the main thing is overlooked in their
haste by a good many people. They
want to do it all at once l fear the
culvert proposition is overlooked by
the automobile main road association,
writes ]. w. Edwards of Dawson coun-
ty, Nebraska, in Independent Farmer.
They forget that much travel and
heavy traffic is done on side roads,
especially threshing outfits. 1t is a
lamentable fact that the crossroads
and byroads are put Off with old
wooden %culverts, thereby causing in
Vulnerable accidents while if some at
tentien was given to building solid
concrete c%ulverts, something that
would be everlasting and cheaper in
the long run there would be less &C.
cidents and threshermen would not
need to travel three to five miles to
get one mile. The automobile also
has to travel these crossroads and by
roads frequently.
A wooden culvert soon rots out and
becomes dangerous inside of a few
years. This is caused by floods and
different kinds of weather. While
concrete is desirable-Water and floods
may come and wash over them
but they are left where put and
it is safe to over-the ordinary
wooden bridge may be washed out
and float Off or become danger

or autos are driven ON to the supposed

THREE CLASSES OF HIGHWAYS
Classification 10 Prime Step in Fed

Congressman BorIand.

WiHh various bills before congress
for federal aid to road building the
classification Of highways so hat
tined clearly from the country's maze
Of thorouEhfares of one kind Oh an
other. becomes q question Of more
md more interest. Congressman W.
2. Borland OF Missouri a good-roads
advocate, has expressed himself on
this subject as follows:
TT will be necessary, in my judg-
ment, to classify all existing high
ways into at least three classifications.
Tho first class is that of the great
~cross-state or interstate highways.
The second consists of the main
feeders or great country roads;
and third. the by-roads, local roads
OF lanes. These various classes Of
roads should be built, improved and
maintained with a view to the
amount of traffic hat they a bear
be of the most permanent and scien-
tific construction. The second class
could be of q less expensive nature
and would need less maintenance.
Tho third class could be improved
only to the extent that the community
required. The expense of building
and maintaining these roads should
be distributed upon the same basis.
"The roads Of the first class should
b supported by the taxing power Of
Q large area of country. The second
class OF roads should also have a
wide taxing power at least co-exten-
sive with the county and possibly
with Z group Of counties or with
some state aid. This would leave
