F. c. HIGHWAY
IS TAKING FORM

Mr.. o. p. Thrane, Scurry county's
representative on the directory of the
Florida-to-Colorado Highway was in
Brownwo ood Monday at the meeting
Of the directors. He reports much in
terest and enthusiasm for the high
way which promises to be the most
attractive and popular interstate
route now in prospect through Tex
as.
Just about every county along the
route was represented from the
Louisiana line to and including Sour
ry county, While II. b. McCorkle
OF Amarillo represented eight plains
counties. Most Of the counties re-
ported ready, or getting ready to
build. Some already have their roads
up, some have voted bonds and 9TH
ers are doing so. Fisher county gets
a small section of the highway but
is in line for her part.
Mr.. Thrane reported that Scurry
county has the right of way avail
able. has about 81 miles OF good
graded road and 100000 in bonds
10 help complete it and actual con-
struction in progress and the road
will be completed in a years TIME.
He said CARA county has done
lots of work along the Santa Fe and
the road is good the year round
CARA may be depended upon to have
her quota of the route in order.
II is the recognized policy OF the
Association 10 adopt the Santa Fe
Railroad line as the general route,
though the directors favor a liberal
course. so that under stress of con-
ditions the route may be deflected.
An instance The highway is TO run
with the Santa Fe TO Buffalo Gap in
Taylor county. From there to Sweet
water, the country is rough and
sparcely settled and il would cost
probably 100000 TO buidl thru
there and it is deemed advisable TO
go from Buffalo Gap to Abilene, This
will require only three or four miles
of road to reach the good road intJ
Abilene and then the well built road
from Abilene to Sweetwater comes
through well settled country. The
route in Scurry county comes IN near
Pyron thence with the Santa Fe by
Hermleigh. snyder, Dermott and
Fullerville and the work is Seing
pushed along.
The National Highway Association
wanted this movement to line up
with them but tho convention decid-
ed to continue the county campaign
plan. As a designation mark, it was
decided TO adopt the insignia IF. G.
in black letters on a white band.
These letters stand for Florida-Col-
orado.
The convention named managers
Tor groups of contiguous counties
thus: : A. Machmehl for Harris
Fort Bend and Austin counties.
c. II. Chenowski for Orange. JET
ierson and Liberty
w. &. Gillis for Washington, Burle !
son, Milan and Bell.
b. r. Bennett for Coleman, Iay-
Tor. Nolan. Fisher. Scurry and CARA.
Roy l.. Walker for CoryeH, Lam
pasas. Mills and Brown.
r. B. McCorkle for the plains |
counties from Lubbock nortn.

CRATER
BEING EXPLORED

| KODIAK. Alaska, July Here at
Kodak, village not many miles from
Mount Katmai, Alaska's greatest vol
cano, Mrs r. +. Griggs. with her three
children. is spending the summer wait
ing until a launch comes across Shelf
koff Straits from the mainland with
her husband, Professor Griggs OF the
Ohio State University who is exploring
Katmai's crater. THE Valley OF Ten
Thousand Smokes"
Mrs. Griggs ventured this far with
her husband, but no farther. She does
not expect to hear anything from the
professor until he returns late in the
summer. He and his party sailed from
here on launch for Katmai Bay. on
the mainland. near the volcano. As the
Katmai is wild and uninhabited the
explorer will be completely out of
touch with the outside world, unless
he sends a messenger back across the
straits.
Professor Griggs is heading a Ma
tional Geographic Society party in the
task Of exploring the crater. Several
years ago he headed similar party
into the Katmai country and returned
with the announcement that Katmai's
crater was the largest in the world.
Sometime ago the advance guard of
the expedition landed at Katmai river
and made preparations for the arrival
of the rest of the party. Another group
landed at Nannek. and went into the
l<atmai territory from the west side. A
moving picture man went with DR..
Griggs.
Although Katmai at present is far

from any travelled routes and is very
inaccessible. Professor Griggs believes
that some day it will become known
and visited as one of the scenic won
ders of the world.
Before Professor Griggs left Kodiak
he delivered an illustrated lecture here
and told the crowded hall of whites and
natives of the wonders that FAY just

NEW YORK, July According to
a statement sent out Yesterday by the
office OF the New York Community
Service, the frequency with which SOL
diers and sailors have been found in

Provost Guard to issue Instructions
yesterday to all uniformed men not
to accept cigarettes from any but
agents of recognized war work or
ganizations or from persons whom
they know. The instructions were
communicated TO the New York Camp

among the uniformed men using its
clubs, canteens and sleeping quarters.
There have been several cases re-

the nisht and in svery case tho service
man has been stripped of everything
OF value. They are always drugged
and they always tell the same story
when they come to next morning.
They say a package of cigarettes was
handed to them and they went out
after smoking half of one cigarette"
The drugged cigarette practice was
first called to the attention of the
provost guard about two months ago,
according to Lieutenant Finnerty. So
many soldiers found drugged told Of
receiving cigarettes from woman

found her. 1t was discovered that the
soldiers were right. The woman had
