intend to do domestic labor but are
unwilling to bear the stigma hither-

will have all the dignity of their
sisters in other lines of employment
and will be allowed to carry the key
to the house. Organizing a union
may be the next step.

JOE B0CGS kept BUSY
ON GOOD ROADS PLANS

State Road Commissioners Joe
S. Boggs is being kept busy at
Frankfort with appeals from 9th
er counties for state and federal
aid for their roads. Some few
are like Madison however, and
seem unwilling to take forward
steps toward securing permanent
good roads.
News comes from Mr.. Boggs'
Office at Frankfort that the upper
river road from Louisville to
Milton was declared federal aid
project by Commissioner Boggs,
who said the project from Milton
to Cincinnati was abandoned. He
was notified by the promoters of
the project in Louisville that
sufficient interest was not mani
tested in Carroll, Gallatin and
Boone counties and their local
appropriations would not be rails
ed. There is, however, federal
aid project in Indiana from Mad
ison, across the river from Mil
ton to Cincinnati SO that a route
from Louisville to Cincinnati thus
is assured. The Kentucky por-
tion of the road traverses Jeffer-
son, Oldham, Henry and Tirmble
counties. Surveys of the route
probably will not start for sixty
days.
The Central Highway from
Owcnsboro through Davies, Nc
Lean, M,thlenberg and Hopkins
to Dawson Springs also was de-
clared federal aid project and
the survey will start some time
next month.
