WOULD PUSH HIGHWAY WORK
Secretary Houston Says Operations
Must Be Resumed at Once.

MUST be Resumed At Unce.
Cooperative highway construction
under the Federal-Aid Road Act must
be resumed as quickly as possible
in full measure, the Secretary of Agri-
culture, d. F. Houston, stated at a
conference of editors of agricultural
| journals held recently in Washington.
From unexpended balances of fed
eral appropriations for the last few
years, from state funds beyond what
was necessary to meet the federal al
! lotments, and from amounts available
during the current fiscal year, approx
imately $75,000,000 will be available
for expenditure during the calender
year. Next year, if all the balances
should be expended during this year,
and we should have to rely solely on
the funds accruing next year, there
will be about s2O, OOO, 900 from federal
appropriations, and probably more
than this amount fromL>state sources,
according TO the secretary's statement
The states, in addition, will expend
sums in excess of what they have as
signed, or will assign, for federal aid
road projects.
1T seems to me-" said the secretary,
that we should take a further step
take this step not only because of
the importance of good roads, but also
because of the resirability of fur
nishing worthy projects on which I'M
employed labor during the period of
readjustment may be engaged. There
will be many things suggested for
which federal and state funds will
be sought. Some of these will be
unworthy. Clearly such public works
as roads are worthy, and it would be
in the public interest to make avail
able larger appropriations from the
federal treasury to be used separate
ly or in conjunction with state and
local support.
There need be no delay in the exc
cution of such program. The Nation
has already provided the machinery
in the Department of Agriculture and
in the state highway commissions. /
The Federal-Aid Road Act was fruit |
full of good legislation, and each state |
in the Union now has a central high I
way authority with power and funds |
to meet the terms of the federal act. |
The two agencies, in conjunction, have I
been engaged in devising well-con- /
sidered road systems and in making I
plans and specifications !
The task will be one of selection |
and those roads should be designated .
for improvement which are of the .
greatest economic importance. with /
due regard to such military and 9TH
er needs as are proper for considera-
ton. There is no necessity for any
departure from this scheme The sug-
gestions made have been canvassed
with the President, the Secretary of /
War, and the Postmaster-G /
and they are in accord with the view
that additional funds should be made
available to this department and that
they should be expended through ex-
sting machinery"

Says glass Of hot water with

To see the tinge Of healthy bloom
In your face, to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up With
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best, day in and day out, just
try inside-bathing every morning for
one week.
Before breakfast each day. drink q

full of limestone phosphate in it as a

hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
MIGRATING. It cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases and actdtty and
gives one splendid appetite for br 1k-

A quarter pound of limestone phos'
plate will cost very little at the drug
store but Is sufficient to demonstrate
that Just as soap and hot water
cleanses, sweetens and freshenss the

are assured that one week OF inside

HEAVY RAINS
PROVIDE POWER

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 2.-Heavy
rains in north Georgia in the past
week or ten days. filling the TallUlah
and Chattahoochee rivers to their nor
NAL stages, may make it possible for
the local representatives of the fuuel
administration to annul the order re-
quiring the skip stop system to be
put in effect on the street railway
lines of the Georgia Railway & Pawer
Company.
Like other orders devised for the
purpose of curtailing power, the ex-
trme necessity for the skip stop sys-
TEN has departed almost at the mo-
ment when it was put into effect. The
Georg., Railway & Power Company
worked out the location of the new
stops in consultation with a committee
representing the city council of At
lanta and the fuel administration,
Many Atlanta streets had so many
car stops before the system that free
movement of traffic was very much
hindered. By eliminating a good
many Of the unnecessary stops it has
been found tina cars can keep their
schedules much more easily, the pass
engers are transported more rapidly,
and automobiles do not clog up be-
hind the cars when the latter stop
to let off passengers. On this account
there is growing sentiment in favor
Of the skip stop system entirely aside

PRISONERS OF WAR ARE

There were 1000 British prisoners
Of war houses in one of the big bar

day the armiStiee was signed they were
told in the various camps in which
they were confined that the war WAS
over and that they could 20.
"They were then marched, under
guard. towards the French lines for
varying distances. sometimes as much
as twenty miles. when their guards
left them. telling them they could
march on until they reached the
French.
In no case were any OF them given
any food to carry them through their
journey. Some of them had walked
four or five days before they got to the
French lines and some from greater
distances are still on the way. They
are nearly all wretchediy clad and
tbeir sufferings from cold alone have
been intense, They look like tramps
of the most wretched degree.
"of those that have arrived so far a
large proportion seem to have been
taking during the March offensive or
later. In six months or less they have
been reduced to a condition bordering
on starvation and there have been a
