ROAD BUILDING IN
 ALABAMA WILL BE
 PUSHED IN 1878
State Engineer Says That S1,349,000 Will Be Spent if Contracts Can
 Be Made

Montgomery, January H.-(SpecialD Alabama will spend approximately Sl,Si9.- coo on the construction and improvement of public roads during the present year if satisfactory contracts can be made and labor can be obtained, according to the quarterly report of W. s. Keller, state highway engineer, submitted to the state highway commission Monday. Federal aid will total s624, S9917 and like amount from the state and counties must be given, which makes total of Sl,2i9,- 79S.s4. The state is expected to give s50,O00 in addition, while the counties will give $100,oo0, which will run the total to s1,s49. 79S.s4.
 Engineer Keller informed the commits sion that Alabama stands first in the number of federal-aid projects submitted and approved. Twenty-nine projects have been submitted, 24 have been ap- proved, one has been disapproved and two have been withdrawn, leaving two still pending.
 Cost of the work which will be done with federal aid totals S317, 45044. Work has already been started in the counties of Bullock. Escambia, Pike, Dale, Gov ington, Calhoun and Barbour
 Shortage of cars for transportation and the scarcity and uncertainty of labor probably will cause delay in the execution of the contracts in many in- stances. The secretary of agriculture, however. has advised the highway de- partment that the state will not losa it's appropriation if the work cannot be completed during the fiscal year for which an appropriation is made.

 "The military authorities in the camp where you have been in service have notified this office that you have been given an honorable discharge because you are affected with tuberculosis" said the departments letter to the soldiers. Tt is very likely that the disease is in an early stage and that you have fair chance of recovery. Unless you take great care you may be the means of transmitting this dread disease to your loved ones and to your friends
 Let me insist that you put yourself under the care of the best physician n available and that you be guided strict ly by his advice. I would further warn you against nostrums and patent medi- cines This bulletin will be useful to you if you will read it carefully and follow the instructions set forth.'

SIGNS POINT TO
 HUN OFFENSIVE
 TOWARD CALAIS
Offensive Against England Is Far More Popular in Germany Than One Against Any Other Front

Oscar r. Schuette cables the Chicago Daily News the following:
 Zurich. Switzerland, January 1.-The great question of the hour is: Where will the threatened German offensive take place on tn west front?
 The first reports said it would be in the vosges region, because that of fered the best opportunities for the use of the masses of mountain artil- lery brought from the Italian front -an arm in which the French arc comparatively weak.
 Then came the suggestion that the verdun district was the chosen place, because Emperor William went to that part of the front, decorated Gen eral Won Gallwitz and made speeches to the soldiers. The use of heavy arr tillery in this region continues and suggests that the Germans are at least preparing to attack with big guns and re achievements to keep the main French army busy there and thus guard against the danger of an of fensive.
 The latest reports. which seem to be based on excellent authority. are that General Ludendorffs real objective IS Calais. If the Germans could reach that port they would isolate England from France. cut off the narrow pas Sa ge between Calais ana Dover, where the submarines have been unable to work. and, possibly. force the British fleet into the open. An offensive against England would be far more popular in Germany than one against the French, because the whole Ger man war propaganda has been based on bitterness against England, while claiming German sympathy for France.
 With Calais as his objective. Gen eral Ludendorf could strike anywhere between Newport and Cambrai. By simultaneous activity at Verdun he could hold the French army where it would be prevented from helping the British and might even delay the American aid which. it is assume ed. would be extended first to the French. General Ludendorf could thus hurl his own heavy reserves from Italy and Rusisa against the British

 A premium on clean coal.
 Mr. Peabody estimat ted that the zone system would increase production 20 per cent by the short hauls. would make many more cars available to the mines, many of which now fre- quently are idle for days through car shortage.
 Uncertainty as to the government s attitude on prices, the witness said, has kept operators from making nee essary improvements to their mines. ThIs will be reflected, he said. in re- edueed production this spring.
 While the zone system would limit the number of priority orders, MT. Peabody testified, some still would be necessary and the confusion which has attended such orders recently could be avoided only by placing the matter in the hands of experienced men.
 Government prices do not place any premium on clean coal, the witness said, with the result that much dirty coal has been shipped by the mines thus adding to the railroads burden and causing complaint from con- sun1erA

Wigs Made a Glass

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 s In Venice they are spinning glass for commercial uses. converting it into glass cotton and glass wool pressed into sheets or pads. Although the principal use of the product at present is for insulation we have the word of the Italian makers that it serves admirably for making artificial hair, wigs. perukes. dolls hair. Santa Claus boards and other hirsute adorn- merts The processes of manufacture are simple. Solid glass rods, made of pure American soda that contains no adulteration of lead or other metal, are worked into fluff under a Bum sen burner and blowpipe. A bicycle wheel minus the tire. winds up the threads. If the threads are sufficient ly fine they curl and fluff out like wool.
 The product Is now marketed in three forms-glass cotton. glass wool and in sheets about one-half inch thick which resemble white felt pads. Tn the last form mentioned 1t may be used to mak separators for &C., cumulators of electricity.
