This story comes from British East
Africa. A hunter met a magnificent
lion almost face to face. With a ter
rible roar the beast sprang at the man,

STATE HOUSE
Nest COUNSEL Msstins 10 A. N. Wednesday. ose u

/, exclusively to state highway depart
ments and on two other days the ses-
sions were OF q more general interest,
and were held under the Joint control
of the state highway officials and the
Highways Industries Association.
Discussions covered the wide range of
activities Of state highway Depart
ments. including construction. main
tenance, administration and manage
ment problems. The use of the high
ways by motor trucks, limits of
weight and load and proper fees to be
charged motor vehicles we've thor
oughiy discussed.
The creation OF a federal highway
commission, the establishment Of a
system Of federal highways to be con-
structe6 and maintained by the Fed
eral government and the extension OF
the present system of federal aid were
all discussed.
Chief Engineer Sargent was a
member Of the committee which pre-
scented the following resolutions look
ing to the establishment of federal
highways commission, which were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the President OF the
United States IN his recent message
to Congress. recognized the value OF
improved highways in the general
transportation system of the nation
and definitely recommended and
urged their rapid development; and
Whereas. this work is necessary to
give employment to our returning
soldiers and also to furnish worthy
projects on which unemployed labor
can be engaged during the period Of
re- adjustment; and
Whereas. we recognize the neces-
sity for n well defined and connected
system of improved highways in Or
der to expedite the distribution OF
large volumes of food stuffS now
wasted on account of the lack of
prompt and adequate highway trans
portation and to better serve the
economic and military needs of the
nation.
Wherefore. be it resolved, that a
Federal highways Commission be
created to promote and guide this
powerful economic development of
both highways and highways traffic
and establish a national highways
system.
BE it further resolved. that the
present appropriation for federal aid
to the states be continued and in
creased and the states urged to I'M
dertake extensive highway conStruc-
ton so as to keep pace with the de-
yelopment of this country and its
transportation needs, and so that in
carrying out the provisions of the
present Federal Aid Act or any
amendment thereto that the state
highway departments shall cooper
ate with the Federal Highways Com
mission.
BE it further resolved. that all gov
ernmental activities with respect to
highways be administered by the
Federal Highways Commission.

Mothers Aid

Tell me something about the
Mothers Aid work, captain" was the
request made of Capt. James +. Bag
ley, secretary Of the State Board Of
Charities and Corrections, which il
also the board in charge Of the State
of Maine Mothers Aid.
Well" said the captain. we have
80 far since the law went into opera
cases which have been allowed or
asallowed. and we have at the pres
ent time 20 cases under investigation
The cases allowed call for an annual
expenditure by the State Of S24,941
and the cases tina. will be allowed
will call for about $4,000 more.
The average allowance to family
is SIG per month. That is in amounts
ranging from $40 to s3S: Two hum
dred and thirty families are now re-
cciving the aid. These families have
G45 children, some of them of course
over the age of eligibility and some
self supporting. But of them, $40 arc
under the age Of II years and are re-
ceiving aid.
we had appropriated for our use
$4,000 for the six months of 1912
from July, and $4,000 for the year
1913. The board estimates that for
the next two years We ought to
have about q SO per cent. increase
in the amount of appropriation
tor compensation and there will
the number of cases. On that basis
NC will need about $4,000 to carry
out the intention of the Legislature
when it. inaugurated this worthy
work.
Il certainly do feel and think that
placing a limit on the amount of aid
for n family almost approaches the
absurd. A mother with one child can
have but $40 n month and 81 for each
other child. Take the case of the
family receiving $as per month. That
mother has eight children, al under
II years of age. 1t is simply impossi-
bic FOR her to leave that family in Or
der to earn more money. How can
she possibly keep it on that amount?
firmly believe that the limit should
be abolished and the discretion of the
State officials and the towns inter
ested be trusted. Who, if not these
parties know of and all about these
cases and their needs? Surely they
are better qualified than any legisla-
TIVE body can 0e. with all due re.
spect and regard for their judgment
and knowledge.
Il feel strongly on this point, be-
cause in my contact with the $40
cases we have investigated and ex-
perience with the 22O families and $40
children now on the list. l have seen
where 1t has not worked out as well
as the other method would. Mind
you. the present system has done
wonderful amount of good work, work
that was entirely neglected before
this law went into effect and is a
splendid start. But I do think the
time has now come where it can be
much improved and hope to he able
to convince the incoming legislators
of the correctness Of our views upon
the subject"
