DEATH DEALING "DEKD-MAN'S
CURVE" TO BE STRAIGHTENED

Dead Mans Curve" on the Lex
ington pike, about six miles from
Paris, will soon pass out or existence,
as a dangerous place for automobiles,
as authorization has been given by
County Judge Frank Bullock, of
Lexington, to Mr.. j. M. Corbfn,
County Engineer Of Fayette county,
to straighten the pike at that point,
and to eliminate the dangerous curve
which has been the scene Of so many
accidents in the past.
County Engineer Corb1n stated
that it is the plan to straighten out
the pike and take out the curve so
as to have the pike as it was origin
ally built some years ago. He also
said that he had been authorized
to have three openings at the point
where the road goes under the rail-
road bridge, -ohe for the fnterurban
cars, and one for, the traffic running
to the right and left over the road.
Mr.. Corbin said that work would be-
gin on the curve almost Immediately
and that he. expected to complete the
work of making plans, specifications
and drainage plans required for the
purpose in about fifteen days.
This action was taken by Judge
Bullock, Wednesday. after he had
ordered the County Road Engineer
to prepare estimates Of the cost of
Strengthening out the road. The
travelling public who are compelled
to use the road win hail this news
with delight, as the elimination Of
this deadly curve will remove one Of
the greatest menaces to safety on
whole line.

On The Job All The Time

The mistaken idea has gone
ahrough Paris and Bourbon county
that the War Savings Stamp Cam
paign ended on June %, with the end
of the Pledge Card drive. This is
entirely wrong. In fact, the Pledge
$ Grad drive simply started the inten-
.sives work of the campaign. All the
pledges which were given during the
drive must be made good before De-
oember 81. 1918.
It does not take a prophet to see
that this means work for the War

sistants. Kentucky must make good.

"0n Account of The War"

various rumOrs are being circu-
lated in regard to drastic rules to
be laid down during the coming win
ter by the Government Food and Fuel
Administrations. 1t is certain that
the ''heatless" days will again be in
vogue. Another rumor has it that
retail stores will only be allowed to
remain open six hours a day and that
groceries will be limited to one de-
livery week to a single home, at
which time all heavy groceries will
be delivered. In the retail clothing,
stiff collars and shirt fronts will be
a thing of the past. All new shirts
are being made soft so that they
may be laundered without starch.
Local clothing stores are showing
advanced styles in fall and winter
suits and these garments are drastic
examples of the effect Of the war.
Prices are not only much higher, but
quality is lower. All suits are made
to fit almost like military uniforms,
with few pockets and very little
lining.
All forecasts of economic condi-
tions for the coming winter seem to
indicate that before the winter is
over, the seriousness of the mighty
conflict in which the nation is en-
gagged will be brought home to the
high and the low alike. -

WEARING OF RED CROSS UNI.
FORM STRICTLY LIMITED.

The only outdoor uniforms sane
toned for use by members of Red
Cross Chapters are for Canteen and
Motor Service, and these are permit
ted to be worn only in the perform
ance of such particular Red Cross
service.
A recent letter received from the
Acting General Manager states that
it is entirely contrary to the desire
of National Headquarters for Red
Cross workers to wear any uniforms
other than those authorized by Wash
fngton, and that in no event should
any branch or auxiliary adopt uni
form without the consent OF its
chapter.
In no case should uniforms unau-
thorized by the Division Manager
bear the Red Cross insignia; by insig-
mia is meant the Red Cross or the
letters A. r. c.
This action was made necessary by
growing tendency on the part of
members of branches and auxiliaries
to wear uniforms g of original de-
sign.
Such uniform could not have been
designed by their wearers for use In
Red Cross service, since all branches
of the service for which uniforms are
deemed desirable are provided for in
A. R. c.. 403, and the wearing of
these unauthorized uniforms as street
costumes is entirely contrary to the
democratic spirit Of the Red Cross.

IL Is not known whether General
Pcrshing has any political ambition,

General Pershing Is much In the

with this difference. Grant was the
hero OF a section OF the United
States. Pershlng IN the military hero
OF all the United States. Grant was
admired by the defeated south for
his military genius hut II was years
after the war before he gained the
affections of that section. Pershlng
is not only admired for his military
fgen!us but he Is loved by all sections.
Like Grant. Pershlng Is a quiet, un-

A man who can organize military
forces as he has done in this war, |
