The state HIGHWAY commission

The State Highway Commission
announced Monday that at noon the
State highway between Gardiner and
Brunswick was completed except for
a section about a mile and a half
long Immediately north of Richmond
Corner.
It iss possible now to go from Au-
gusta to Portland over this route
with only one short detour, which go
ing from Gardiner to Brunswick
turns to the right eight miles below
Gardiner, crosses the causeway be-
tween Mud pond and Pleasant pond
and then runs parallel with the State
highway but on the west side Of
Mud pond until the turn is made TO
the left bringing the detour back to
the State highway at Richmond Cor
ner.
The distance around the detour 8
40 miles and 1t is about two miles
longer than the direct road, as for
the greater part of this distance the
detour runs parallel with the Stale
highway.
1t Is probable that six or seven
weeks of good weather will be neces-
sary to complete the mile and
half section above referred to, when
the whole road will be thrown open
for travel.

MEN WITH OVERSEAS
SERVICE WAY COMPETE
IN INTER-ALLIED GAMES

New York, March 24.-Any officer
or enlisted man who served in the
allied military forces between August
A.. 1914. and November II. 1912. is
eligible to compete in the inter-allled
games to be held in Paris next June.
according to cable advices from Cen
cral Pershing to the Amateur Athlet-
ic Union today.
The. message emphasized the fact
that eligibility applied equally to men
now in service and those discharged.
Secretary Ruben stated that the
union would begin preparations i'm
mcdiately to cooperate with the
military officials in developing of the
Efforts will be made to secure a
comprehensive idea of the program
of events and with this as a basis
every athletic club and training camp
will be requested to furnish the
names of such eligible athletes as may
warrant special instruction and train
ing. A number of prominent clubs
and college stars and record holders
have already signified their willing
ness to compete for the colors.
While the A. a. Y. has no funds
available to transport a team Of ath-
letes to France, it is believed that
there will be no difficulty in securing
by popular subscription or other
methods a sum sufficient to prepare
the best available material, especially
f the men could be taken to France

PRICES OF PRACTICALLY ALL KINDS OF
SPORTING GOODS HAVE BEEN DOUBLED

Chicago, March 25.-Prices Of prac-
tically every class of sporting goods
are from 10 to so per cent higher
than in 1918 according to a schedule
just issued by one of the largest
manufacturers. The chief reasons adj
vanced are the 10 per cent wal tax
on sporting goods, which recently be-
came effective. and the high cost of
material and labor.
Manufacturers declare that it was
their intention ton reduce prices on a
number Of articles but that the war
tax made this impracticable. Since
1915 prices have increased more than
100 g cent on a majority Of articles.
Baseballs and bats are about the
only sporting goods articles which
have not been increased in price this
year. One Chicago authority said
prices on these would have been re-
duced had the war tax not been
levied. Instead of reducing the price
manufacturers compromised by main
tanning last years figures.
Thej biggest increases are in sport
shoes. baseball catcher's masks. gloves
and mitts. Golf clubs will average so
