STATE ROAD PLAN
Legislative Committees Arranging To
Take Charge of Work.

If a constitutional highway amend
ment is submitted to the voters at the
next general election it will be some
what different to that proposed by the
Kansas Good Roads association. This
seems certain. following a joint meet
ing of the road committees of the
senate and house of representative
Thursday night.
A great many changes were sug-
gested for the resolution now before
the two houses and it seems certain
that it viii be amended and changed
before the committees get thru it.
The proposed amendment would per-
nit the state to engage in road build
ing on a huge scale, 5000 miles of
hard surface highways being contem-
plated at a cost of co million dollars.
It is proposed that the entire cost be
borne by the state and that the money
be provided by using the motor license
fees of the state.
One objection to the proposed
amendment is that It would practical
ly stop immediate road building in
the state, as all counties and COM
munities would desire to wait and let
the state build their roads. This same
argument was advanced before the
good roads convention the first of the
week. 1t is thought arrangements can
be made whereby the counties and
communities can build short stretches
of roads that will be made a part of
the statewide system and that later
the state can reimburse them for
whatever money they spend. This
plan would insure the continuation OF
the building of roads under the pres
ent system.

TO BE FREE FROM DRINK
Governor Says 35th Boys VIII Come
Back With No Thirst.

Kansas City, Jan. 31.-''The boys
of the 35th Division will come back to
you just as free of the alcohol habit
as they We're when they left" Gov.
Henry J. Allen told the Women's Din
ing club Thursday night at the Hotel
Baltimore 81 wish 1 could tell you
that was true because of the sterling
training they received in their Kansas
and Missouri homes, but it isn't. It's
because they've tried the French
wines.
Neither have they been brutalized
by the effect of war. The American
soldier is too supremely an entity
within himself to allow the mere de-
tail of cracking the Hindenburg line
in its strongest point to unbalance
him. even tho the cracking was done
in the face of the most stupendous
Odds
.sThe French are evidently a century
behind in dentristry. Nearly every
member of the 35th with whom I
talked in the ~Vosges Endorsed the
French girls up to their teeth, and
there they stopped. Probably this
dental deficiency was responsible for
the fact that the camp dentist gave
much of his time to work on the
teeth of the female civilian popula-
ton; always the younger of the girls
were given the preference by him.
Those of our boys with gold teeth no
ticeably placed were almost idolized
by the natives"
Governor Allen told of the work of
the 35th in the Argonne forest. and
emphasized the extraordinary intelli-
gence and individual courage of its
members. When the American in
fantry met the German infantry,
whether it was the Prussian list Guard
/ or p landwehr regiment. the fight was
DONE, the governor declared.

DIVERS WORK ON \ SHIP.
Salvage of Princess Sophia Is Started
Off Alaskan Coast.

Juneau, Alaska, Jan. S1.-Divers
and salvage workers today fastened
work of removal of bodies from the
Princess Sophia, which grounded on
the sandy, bottom of Lynn canal off
the alaskan coast, October IS, with
the loss of many lives.
The boat was reported by Marine
Diver jacobson as intact. He said it
can be salvaged and denied earlier re-
ports that it had broken up.
Divers feared that life preservers,
holding many bodies near the roofs of
staterooms and cabins, may become
water logged and allow the bodies to
sink and drift thru windows, making
their recovery impossible.

JANE (WEDSH) CARLYLE.

Men of genius are not always nice as nuts, soft as old slippers. Noble women have found it very difficult to live with them. Milton's first wife Mary Powell, a bud of seventeen. found it so difficult that she broke off and ran away from him. Jane Welsh Carlyle had a hard lamp to trim in the burning genius who was her hus- band. In the Carlyle meagre house. hold of Craigenputtock, Scotland, the days were bleak beyond compare The 1.-two O thim" lacked Heavens best gift,-HUMOR. If Jane Car lyle had passionately loved Carlyle she could have scrubbed her hands off for him; but she didn't. And Carlyle said that her menial work for him was the Saving charm of her life" That remark is enough to make a wash board out of a woman's temper. She was a brave stoic, but she left Carlyle at last-temporarily-and when her little dog fell out of the carriage, when she was driving, Jane was found with her hands folded dead.

It was the Twelfth Century of the constant strug- gle of the Moors to keep their foot hold in Spain. They had establish ed a kingdom in their enchanting palace-fortress of the Alhambra on the hill of Granada They had bull their glorious mosques. And then came the whirlwind of the fight to finish with the Christian. We know how it ended, in Spain, by the Con- quest of Granada in the fifteenth cen tury.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS ARE
 IN U. s, SERVICE

A nationwide canvass made by the Knights of Columbus for data for their official history, now in pro cess of publication, has just been completed. It reveals the fact that in stead of 50,000 members of the or ganiza ton having served in the Army and Navy during the war, over IT, 900 Knights were enlisted, and the proportion of enlistments was main tained everywhere on the basis of total membership, Newfoundland hay ing the same proportion as New York State.
 More than four hundred Knights died in their country's service, the majority of these on the battlefield and five Knights of Columbus secre- taries lost their lives while in over seas service.
 The first American to be killed in the war, Lieutenant William Fftzsim- mons of Kansas City was a Knight of Columbus and what is said to be the last death at the front was that of Rev. Chaplain John O'FIaherty, also 9 K. of c. Many distinctions were won by K. of C., including the first Distinguished Service Cross, awarded to Lieutenant Henry Meyering of Chi cago; James Kelly of Washington, D. c. and Daniel J Quinn of Maine won the Congressional Medal of Honor.

APPROVED HEADLIGHTS.

Devices designed for application to electric headlights for the reduction of glare are approved for use in the state of Connecticut by the Commis- siOner of Motor Vehicles after the headlights to which they have been applied comply with the following specifications which have been com piled by the Illuminating Engineer- ing Society.
 l. Any pair of headlampS under the conditions of use shall produce a light which, when measured on a level surface on which the vehicle stands at a distance of 200 feet di- rectly in front of the car and at some point between the said level surface and a point on a level with the cen ters of the lamps, is not less than 4,- 800 apparent candlepower.
 2. Any pair of headIamps under the conditions of use shall produce light which, when measured at a dis tance of 100 feet directly in front of the car, and at a height of 60 inches above the level surface, on which the vehicle stands, does not exceed 24QO apparent candlepower, nor shall this value be exceeded at a greater height than 80 inches.
 3. Any pair of headIamps under the conditions of use shall produce a light which, when measured at a dis tance of 100 feet ahead of the car. and feet or more to the left of the axis of the same, and at a height of 50 inches or more above the level surface on which the vehicle stands, does not exceed 800 apparent candle power.
 4. Any pair of headIamps under the conditions of use shall produce a light which, when measured on a lev el surface on which the vehicle stands at a distance of 100 feet ahead of the car and at some point between the said level surface and a point on a level with the centers of the lamps and feet to the right of the axis of the car, is not less than 1,20O appar- ent candIepower.
 With the universal use of an ap- proved device properly applied to the headlights there will be no motor vehicles which do not have a satis- factory driving light and which pro- l duce dangerous glare.
