REQUIREHELP
FROM M'ADO0
Officials Ask Suspension Of
Embargo to Get Material
for Street Repairs.

Street conditions In the District and
the literal impossibility Of improving
them rapidly on account of shortage
Of material and labor dearth, impelled
the District Commissioners at their
last meeting to write q strong appeal
to W. q. McAdoo. Director General Of
Railways. urging the mediate lifting
of the embargo which prevents ship
ment to Washington Of such neces-
sary road materials as broken stone,
asphalt and fuel oil.
While the paving Of the main sec
ton Of the city. consisting Of asphalt
and asphalt block. is in as good shape
as could be expected following the un-
usually severe winter and the exten-
sive cutting up of the streets en-
tailed by war-brought urgency for
vast extension Of telephone and eiec-
tric lighting facilities. the outlying
macadam roads are In . state of poor
repair.
Position Hopeless.
"our position IL hopeless with re-
spect to these roads." said c. B.
Hunt, engineer Of highways. yester-
day afternoon. I'VE are hopelessly
behind and We can do nothing until
We obtain materials and labor, botn
of which are vitality needed.
Broken stone Ii as hard to get as
coal. or harder to get. because the
only way to bring this material to
Washington Ii on nat top cars, and
these are impossible to obtain as they
are required first of all for coal trans
portation. We can obtain shipment
neither Of broken stone nor Of as
phalt nor Of fuel oil. except In such
small quantities as to be almost negli-
gibls.
with regard to gravel. the Gov
ernment has a commissioned ofiicer
down by the river where gravel for
Washington is dredged. and he has
orders to allow no deliveries each
day until all the government re-
i quirements have been met The
District has no better chance to get
deliveries out Of what IL left, when
the large demands Of the govern
ment have been provided for. than
any private customer"
Gravel Scarce.
Mr.. Hunt emphasized the extra
ordinary dearth of gravel. without
which no progress can be made in
the repair Of macadam roads. Sand,
another important factor in road
building, is not dificult to obtain,
because the dredging operation
yields twice as much sand as
gravel. while the demand for
! gravel is twice as great as the
demand for sand.
With the coming OF spring every
i year. when the roads thaw out,
great depreciation of the asphalt
pavements has to be faced, since
| no repairs OF such pavements are
possible during the winter. This
| spring conditions were much worse
| than usual, not so much on account
Of the additional heavy traffic en-
! tailed by the war, which has play
| ed havoc with the macadam roads,
as on account of the prolonged and
unusually severe winter.
Mr.. Hunt states that this work
| Is being caught up with rapidly,
and that he has no anxiety as to
getting this part of the highway
| repairing properly accomplished
within a reasonable time, in spite
Of the handicaps of shortage in
material and labor.

PLAY FIRST GAME
IchabOds Face High School To-
morrow in Opening Contest.
Bearg VIII Display End Stew
ems to Fans Friday.
BY AWILYUM" WOLFE.

The Washburn football team will
test its strength for the first time FRI
day afternoon at o'cIocA when a
practice game with the Topeka high
school team is slated on Washburn
field. 1t will be Topeka's first chance
to size up the 1918 Ichabod machine,
and it is thought that a large crowd
of college athletic boosters will be out
to see the frolic.
The game with the high, school lads
will be very much in the nature of
good stiff scrimmage practice, for if
there isl one thing the warriors of
Coach Barnes love to do it is to stop
the Washburn varsity team before
crowd of spectators. Washburn. of
course, will have all the advantage in
the contest. With the heavy line
brought to the school by the, installa-
ton of the Students Army Training
corps and with the big squad of back
field candidates displaying speed and
p1unging ability to burn, it is hard
ly possible that Elmer Bearg's men
will be denied a score or two.
OF special interest to the bugs who
go to the pigskin battle tomorrow
afternoon on Washburn field will be
the work of the three Osborne boys
holding one entire side Of the line.

WILL PUBLISH LISTS
Men VIII Be Told What Positions Are
Held Nonessential.


Lists of n-essentia1 positions
which are now held by men but which
could be filled by women will be pub
lished in every city in the United
States, according to instructions re-
ceived here from Nathan A. Smith. as
sistant director general of the United

The result of this publication will
be that men failing to get out of such
positions of their own accord and take
UP essential work, will be looked upon
as slackers. The lists will probably
include clerks and office help. ticket
sellers. attendants, and similar work
ers. The order is intended to force
the hand of both non-essential labor
and employers of it. 1t is in line with
General Crowder's work or fight"
order, with instructions already issued
for placing women in industry, and
with the order of the war industries
board stopping unnecessary construc-
ton.
