STATES SPEED OPERATION
OF FEDERAL AID ROAD ACT

Probably the most significant result
thus far of the operation of the Federal
raid road act has been the enactment by
a number of State legislatures of effec-
tive road laws. Legislative action in
some States was necessary to meet the
Of the Federal act, but
many have gone further and have re-
east their highway policies entirely. All
the States have assented to the previ-
sions of the Act-42 by their legisla-
lures and 6 by their governors. Thirty
three had highway department within
the meaning of the act upon the date of
its approval; the remaining Is have
since enacted legislation creating high
way departments which comply with the
terms of the law. The highway depart
ments in Is States have been greatly
specific appropriations to
meet the Federal funds have been
made by 10, and comprehensive mainte-
nance legislation has been enacted in
9 states. Forty-two States now have
satisfactory maintenance laws. Nearly
all the States have submitted definite
schemes or programs of work for the
entire five-year period covered by the

New Orleans, La, Feb. II, 1918
Mr.. Wilbur H. Kramer,
Parish Director, War Savings,
Franklin, La.
Dear Mr.. Kramer:
Your letter of February 9th in refer
ence TO the Baldwin public school, re-
ceived and contents noted.
You are always doing something new
and good. The idea of establishing a
War Savings Society in each school and
let the bank furnish the stamps in trust
Of the teachers, is excellent. The town
Of Charlotte, Michigan has $500 people,
and every man, woman and child in
that town has thrift card.
Would it be possible in your commun-
ity to get some one town with such a
record. It would be a good talking
point if you could.
Ye1rs sincerely,
P. H. SAUNDERS,
State Director.

three years of idleness the thorough

much toward the launching of the
movement to have racing 1egaiized

the legislators of the state when The

At one time Virginia was one of the
leading states in racing in this coun-
try. and If II is restored will again
be formidable rival for her neighbor
states. Maryland and Kentucky. Even
before the union was formed, George
Washington raced horses on courses
in the colony. Closely linked with the
racing history of the state arc the
names of many of the foremost turf

Tyler. Hampton, Aston, Mcpherson
and Singleton. All old family names
which for generations have upheld
