Missouri Highway Bulletin.

In letter under date of December
18th 1916 to Hon. Harry B. Halves, of
Missouri, Hon. Logan Waller Page Di-
rector of the Offices of Public Roads
and Rural Engineering, Washington,
D. c. writes as follows concerning
county engineers.
"Each county should have compe-
tent road engineer, if its population,
taxable valuation and road mileage is
sufficient to justify the employment
of such an engineer. Where county
is not able to employ an engineer by
itself, provision might be made where
by two or more counties together
could employ the services of a compe-
tent engineer, each paying just por-
tion of his salary. This need for
skilled engineering on the part of the
counties may be met to quite a large
extent through the State Highway
Department in the way Of advice and
engineering assistance. However, it
would be impossible for the State
Highway Department TO completely
meet this requirement for all of the
counties. There should be a uniform
system of accounting by which all
road expenditures should be kept.
This system of accounting should be
prescribed and enforced by the State
Highway Department in cooperation
with the proper state official or off,
Gals charged with the duty of super
vising accounts relating to public ex-
penditures Where expenditures Of
any magnitude are to be unnertaken
in any county, in either highway or
bridge work, the project, with plans,
Specifications and estimates should
first be submitted to the State High
way Engineer for his review and ap.
proval or recommendations,
Where county bonds are to be voted
for Highway or bridge purposes, the
proposition should he submitted to
to the State Highway Engineer be-
fore the election is called and the
State Highway Engineer should make
such investigation as he might deem
advisable and submit report thereon,
so that the people would have the
benefit of his view of the matter be.

Story of a Good Indian.

There was ansIndian who lived
down at Sious City, he went in
to the printing office one day to
subscribe for the paper; he paid
the editor for his paper, then he
demanded a receipt. At first
the editor wasn't going to give
him one, but the Indian kept on
demanding one. Finally the ed
itor asked him why he wanted a
receipt, to which he replied:
"You see, some day | die and go
to heaven, and the good Lord ask
me if pay my debts. Isayyes.
He say yes. He say, you pay ed
itor for your paper?' | say yes.
He say, Where is receipt And

1t is almost a crime to send
Northern negro soldiers to the
South for encampment. as has
been proven a number of times,
with more serious results than
ever last week at Houston, Tex
as. Assnegro regiment mutined
and ran amuck shooting and kill
ing police officers, men and wom-
en-, because a policeman had ar
rested one of their number.
Nearly a score were killed and
as many more wounded. Sever
al white officers of the army
were killed and the brutes not
content with their bloody work
bayonetted and otherwise mutt
lated the dead bodies. The ring
leaders and "a others are under
arrest and will be tried by court
martial when many of them will
doubtless feel the halter draw,
as mutiny alone is punishable by
death during war times, to say
nothing of the horrible murders.
The regiment has been removed
from Texas to Arizona, which
only furnishes new fields for
their deviltry. Southern negro
soldiers may know how to be-
have themselves in the south,
but the yankee negro, with an
exalted idea of his Importance,
should not be permitted south of
Mason and Dixon's line. = =
The statement is made that it
costs the government $156 to
equip soldier for duty in France
and there are a million of men
now under arms to go there.
War is hellish and costly from
every point of view. = . =
Hoover, the food dictator, is ar
ranging to require one meatless
day a week, but he is behind
time. Since hogs are selling at
$40 a hundred nearly every day
is meatless day with most of us.

What French Women are Wearing,

There is a cable report on the
fashions in Paris in the Septem-
Der Woman's Home Companion.
The writer of it says:
When officers and soldiers first
appeared on Paris streets, smart
features in the uniforms appeal
ed to feminine fancy and imme-
diately there were launched
street costumes modelled nearly
Exactly on war uniforms. Nat
urally what at first seemed smart
became cheapened, and the fad,
frowned upon by that memorable
law of Parisiennes, good taste,
had a short run to an absolute
finish. From the beginning, the
Parisienne of war time refused
all conspicuousness of gowning,
and what thought she gave to
the subject was concentrated on
an endeavor to unite elegance to
simplicity. The little dress
that has ruled so long in Paris
came into being from the recog-
nized need of busy women who
under the strenuous new condi-
tions, demanded a dress that
could be quickly put on and
easily adjusted. Achieved i'm
mediately, it conquered the
world and is still the prevailing
fashion in Paris.
''The first model was a straight
sack chemise, loosely bel:ed and
closed in front. The sleeves
were cut in one and the neck
Was collarless. From this de-
veIoped many variations that ex-
tended into afternoon and even.
