STATE TO EXPEND S4,OOO,OOO
DURING YEAR FOR ROADS

Frankfort, KY, May Public
road improvement in Kentucky is be-
ginning to reach a gigantic scale, and
it is estimated at the Department of
Public Roads that the total expended
on roads in Kentucky this year under
State supervision will be not less than
100000. OF the 100 counties, 1913
have applied for State aid and twen-
ty-five have their work under way,
while the Department of Roads is
working under high pressure, consid-
ering plans and specifications and
contracts and looking after the in
spection.
Commissioner of Roads r. c. Ter
rell has divided the State into thir-
teen inspection districts with an en-
gineer inspector in charge OF each.
This year, too, will see for the first
time in a generation, convicts work
ing on the highways. Madison, Har-
Ian and Bath are the first to ask for
them. 1t is not likely that the con-
victs will be used on the roads until
after the new Prison Board is APP
pointed in June.

employees to organize industrially "on
the principles Of the workers of the
International industrial Union, and
do all in their power to show the
fallacy of craft unionism as exempli-
fed by the American Federation of
Labor" which was characterized as
"a mere watch-your-jo b-and-boost-
your-pay organization"
A platform was adopted asserting
that the present system of economic
inequality" is destructive to the life,
liberty and happiness of the working
classes and declaring that the means
of production must be owened, OPP
Grated and ontrolled by teh people in
common"

engaged. The British were said to
have been outnumbered six times by
the Ottoman troops. Four times Gen
eral Townshend rallied his men and
led them in their charges. Hardly
less desperate a venture was the
march to Kut-El-Amara, which, ac-
complished under the extraordinary
disadvantages, was hailed in Eng
land as a remarkable achievement
Not only did General Townshend
ward off the pursuing Turks with
comparatively small losses, but he
succeeded in taking with him all his
wounded.
Relief Expedition.
A few weeks after IL became evil
dent that the army at Kut-El Amara
would be unable to fight its way out,
relief expedition was dispatched.
This force encountered comparatively
little opposition in the early stages
Of the march up the river, but as it
drew near kut-El-Amara it was OPP
posed by formidable bodies of Turks
massed on both sides of the Tigris
below the invested town. Several
striking victories for the relief force
were announced, but their efforts
have been countered by the Turks so
successfully that the advance has
been stopped. The Turks, taking the
offensive, pushed back the British
and inflicted large losses on them.
Throughout the Mesopotamian
campaign the fighting has been heav!
and the losses severe. On April IA it
vas admitted the Tigris army up to
that time had lost $500 men. Since
then there have been several import
ant battles between the Turks and
the relief expedition. In one engage
ment alone, at Beitsea, on the right
TANK of the Tigris, o few miles be-
low Kut-El-Amara, the British lost
4,OG0 according to an announcement
from the Turkish war Office last
week.

LUNCHEON IS HELD
 BY SOCIAL WORKERS
Problem of Dependent Mother One of Chief
 Topics

Take a city block, divide it into cottages of two or three rooms each, put gas heat and electric lights in each, build a com munity kitchen, model settlement house and a day nursery in the middle and a la Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the plant to care for the dependent mother is ideal.
 This is the ultimate desNe of every social worker in Birmingham, and the dream of Judge Murphy, who, after all, has to handle the problem for all the other agencies first.
 Yesterday at the Social Workers luncheon the delinquent and the depend- ent mother, father and child were the topics of discussion.
 The inefficiency of the parents, feeble nlindness. industrial accidents, unemploy- ment and other reasons have grown for the existing evil, and where the question was fully discussed, the social agencies each taking up their particular problem in regard to the topic, it was unanimous ly decided in the minds of all. that three things, were necessary. first to keep the welfare of the child always in view; and second. to colonize Predetermined parents so that they might be given suitable em- ployment and not be drain on the state; also passing laws prohibiting marriage among feeble-minded third. to locate a place suitable in character for the de- pendent mother who is both Willing to keep her children and willing to work. Further. that the state should provide proper place for deformed. epeleptic and feeble minded children.
 Mrs. Amargh of East Lake Industrial school said: Some of us are getting gray haired in this work. but we feel it rests with us."
 Mrs. Murdoch. chairman of the meeting, said the trouble with Alabama is she has no standard of living, no protection for her women, and until late by little protec- tion for her children.
 Judge Murphy, another speaker, told of many interesting cases that have come under his observation in the Juvenile court He also outlined bis plan for an ideal colony of dependent mothers.
 Other speakers on the programme, Mrs. C. B. Spencer, who spoke of these prob- lems. and how they are handled by the Mercy home and Commissioner Arlie Barber MT. Barber said the commission would soon make up their yearly budget and he urged the social workers to rec ommend to the commission what they de- sired for civic betterment stating it would have every consideration ar tne hand or the commission.
 bout 8 members were present. These luncheons are not only for the Social Workers association, but are open for all, and guests may be free to express themselves on the subjects under dIscus- sion.
 It was voted by the association to en- gage Mrs. Florence Kelly to come to Blr- mingham March 24 9 and 26 to deliver course of lectures on some social subjects The details of her coming to be left in the hands of a committee.

"The Birth of a Nation"

The seats for "The Birth of a Nation, ' which will play a return engagement here beginning Sunday afternoon, March 5, are in just as great demand as if 20,O0C people had not witnessed the great est moving picture ever filmed on it's previous appearance in Birmingham. This was attested yesterday by the im- mense crowds which thronged the Jeff ferson theatre seeking tickets for the Griffith masterpiece. The seats went on sale at g o'clock and from then until 6 o'clock when the box office closed there was steady stream of people at the theatre.
 Observers of things theatrical were somewhat dubious as to the advisability of a return engagement of 'The Birth of a Nation on account of the fact that so many thousands of people had wit messed the film before but the judgment of Manager R. s. Douglas, who main tained that as many people wanted to see it as had seen it. was borne out yester- day. The Birth of Nation" is won- derful picture, and the record it has made in Birmingham is also wonderful
