has been changed by an amendment
to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
regulations, announces the United
States Department. of Agriculture.
The amendment fixes the period dur
ing which mourning doves may be
killed in South Carolina from Octo-
ber 16 to January 81, both days in
elusive, whereas the Federal open
season last year was from September
16 to December 81, inclusive. The
new season beginning October 16
was not adopted in time to have the
correct dates noted on the State
hunting licenses, which incorrectly
show the season to begin one month
earlier. The Federal law and regu-
'.tions supercede all State laws in
consistent Herewith, and the State
hunting licenses do not authorize
persons to hunt mourning doves or
other migratory birds in violation, of
the Federal law.

duced in congress for a national sys-
tenn of highways. Its object is to
build in each State trunk line high
ways to the extent of not less than
two per cent. nor more than five per
cent of the total mileage of the
State, and to join them up with the
main trunk lines of other States so
as to make complete national sys-
tenn connecting the entire country.
The advocates of this measure claim
that # such a plan is adopted by
congress it will create system OF
national highways, Independent of
the States-highways that will carry
interstate traffic. Such system of
national road s,proponents of the
measure say, is necessary for the
welfare of the country as whole.
1t is the contention of the national
highway council that the personnel
of the State highway departments is
instantly changing, and to a greater
or less degrees the State highway po-
licies are changed with each succeed
ing administration. 1t is therefore
out of the question to expect any
connected system of roads between
!ae forty-eight States, over which
there is no supervisory power, and
between which there is little coordi-
lation. Only the national govern
ent can lay down and execute the
:ationwide development OF the roads.
It looks as though the federal gov
ernment might get into this game on
a stupendous scale in another de-
cade.

OLDEST CIVILIZATION
CLAIMED BY VIRGINIA

Richmond, Va, Aug. 15.-Claims
of Plymouth Rock that she represents
the oldest Anglo-Saxon civilization
in America were emphatically de-
MED this afternoon when the general
assembly celebrated the 3OOth ami
versary of continuous existence as a
law making body.
Speakers charged that the men
who landed at Plymouth Rock were
foreigners by fully one year after
the burgesses of II Virginia planta-
tions had assembled at jamestown
and passed the laws designed to gov
ern the colonies.
DR.. Thomas Nelson Page, former
ambassador to Italy, was the princl-
nal sneaker. He said that the world
should be made acquainted with the
real facts concerning the part Vir-
ginia has played in bringing about
representative government. 'Fhs
general assembly should compel the
teaching in the schools of the State
he facts relative to Virginia's posi-
ton in this matter" said DR.. Page.
The former ambassador paid a
Glowing tribute to President Wilson
and hailed him as the greatest man
who represented the allied powers at
the peace conference. '..
"Unless the peace treaty Is ratl-
fed" said DR.. Page, "you members
of the assembly may be called back
to Richmond again within a short
time to face crisis in the State and
nation the seriousness Of which few
people seeT to realize" Europe he
said, would be thrown in state OF
chaos and Germany would disaVoW
the terms of the peace laid down fol-
her, and inaugurate forthwith a cam
paign of frightfulness.

NATION WILL SPEND
BILLIONS ON ROADS

Washington, d. Cone OF the
most colossal road building programs
ever undertaken in any country IS to
be carried out in the United States
during the next three years. 1t is es-
timated that by 1921 close to bill
lion dollars will have been spent for
good roads in this country. Of this
huge sum, $275,OOO,OO0 has been
appropriated by congress as federal
aid in road construction.
In addition to giving direct tlnan-
cial assistance, the federal govern
ment is also encouraging the i'm
provement of highways by distribut-
ing to the various States some of the
10000 motor trucks used by the
army during the war. These trucks
are to be turned over to the highway
commissioners of the States, and
are to be used only for road build
ing purposes.
For more than a century that is up
to 1916, the federal government did
practically nothing to aid or abet in
developing improved highways. In
1916 congress voted S75,OOO,OOO for
federal highway aid on the $3.50 ba-
sis with the States, but on account
of the war much of the road work
contemplated at that time was held
in abeyance. Now, there is a revival
of interest on the part of the nation
al government in better roads, which.
finds expression through the medium
of the bureau of public roads.
The first and only national high
way constructed by the government
was the old historic Cumberland
Road. The work on that turnpike
was begun under President Jefferson
and continued under Monroe. Begin
ring at Cumberland, Md, the road
ran through Maryland, Pennsylvania,
what is now West Virginia, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois. St. Louis was the
objective point, but railroads came
into use before the completion Of
the project and the road stopped
short somewhere in Illinois. The old
Cumberland Road was to have been
used to open traffic between the east
and west, and it was planned in such
a way as to have direct communica-
ton with with the Atlantic ocean.
The scheme was to use the stage
coach for transportation from West
ern points to Cumberland, then the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal, which is
operation, from Cumberland to
Washington, connecting with the Po-
tomac River to the ocean. So does it
appear that the unfolding Of time
quite upset this elaborate worked out
government project.
Although the Cumberland trail fell
into disuse for time after railroads
began to link up the east and the
west, the greater portion of it has
been improved within recent years
by the various States through which
it runs. Many of the old pioneers
who went west in the early part OF
the 10th century travelled by stage
coach over this early ribbon Of good
roads.
The need of good roads is becom-
ing more and more obvious with the
increase in the use Of motor vehicles.
Ten years ago the highways Of this
country were subjected to traffic
scarcely different from that which
they had borne in Revolutionary
days. The past decade has witnessed
q tremendous change in highway
