600 in the postofice appropriation bill just
passed by congress and signed by the presi-
dent
Officials of the bureau of public roads, Unit
ed States department Of agriculture. which ad
ministers the provisions OF the federal aid road
act and cooperates with the state governments
In the expenditure of the money, point out that
this amount of funds is the largest ever appro-
priated for similar purposes and for a similar
period by any government in the history Of the
world, and that it enables the federal and state
governments to carry out a road-building pro-
gram of magnitude never equaled.
In connection with the great federal-aid
program it is also noted that expenditures for
highway work in the United States this year
likely to amount to half billion dollars
more. On reports received from state high
way departments the bureau of public roads
estimates the 1919 expenditures for roads and
bridges at s385,000,000. or $11OeO00OO more
than the average expenditures for 1915 and
1917.
An important effect of the law containing
the new appropriation is that it broadens the
definition of a rural post road, under which
class highway had to qualify in order to re-
ceive the benefits of the federal aid act.
The new act also raises the government
limit Of contribution from not to exceed $4,000
a mile to not to exceed $4,000 a mile, taking
account of higher present costs of labor and
materials

BUILDING BOOM NATION WIDE.

81 really believe that there are
more people seriously considering
building a home in the tri-cities
this spring tina never before. We
were afraid for awhile that this
high price bugaboo might scare
people away. but they have evident
Iy decided that owning the home
they want to live in is more import
ant than waiting two or three years
for prices to drop"
That there should be this inter
est in home building is only nor
NAL, when you come to think of it.
So many new people have come to
the tri-cities to make their homes,
and there had been so little building
in comparison with the increased
needs that undoubtedly very many
have been planning but held off I'M
til the war was won. Now they see
their opportunity to build that
home of their desire and they are
going to do it.
/ With the war over and the re-
adjustment fairly we'll established,
! there seems to be a countrywide
movement towards home building.
/ That is the natural outcome and re-
dictionary spirit of the war assert
ing itself. The family once more
united, their thoughts seem to turn
to a home. The revived activity is
| probably more pronounced as the
country at leas Ia year and half
81, behind its normal building pro-
gram
William B. Wilson, secretary of
labor, is doing everything possible
to further building and construc-
ton 1t means the solution for one
thing of securing employment for a
great number of our returning SOL
/ diers. Construction adds to the
wealth of the country. BY building
| it is assisting the continuation of
prosperity and it is a proven fact
that our best financial years have
run hand in hand with a large
building program. .
| Tri-city citizens have many good
! sound reasons for building at this
time. This is not boom locality but
a firmly, well established industrial
| center. The land prices are stable
with general trend towards rising
prices. The public utilities are ex-
ceptionally good and municipal i'm
| provements planned will increase
the property valuation. Everything
is conducive to building and the
benefit received would positively
assure prosperity far in excess Of
present expectations.

The Baby Cutting Teeth.

How many bones in the body or
teeth in the head is a bit of su-
perfiuous information, but / have
it from a competent dentist that
there are 20 deciduous, milk, prl-
mary. temporary or baby teeth in
a fuII-fiedged youngster who has
attained fighting age.
Just as middle age introduces
the perilous epoch of cancer, arter-
io-scIerosaw. Bright's disease, apo
plexy ana heart failure. whether
tn victim belongs to the cred
ulous sex or not, so the period or
teething covers the time when
child is most susceptible to gastro-
intestinal diseases, conYulslons
from numerous causes, the erup-
tive infectious diseases and so on.
AS soon as a tooth is cut the
mother should begin brushing it.
She may use a bit of clean mus
lin or gauze moistened with water.
or a soft, small toothbrush. One
thorough brushing daily is suftict-
ent for anybody's teeth unless
there is some special reason for
more frequent attention. 1t is sur
prising how early a child will
learn to brush his own teeth, and
he can acquire the habit none too
early.
Misunderstanding. and the habit OF
sucking pacifiers, nipples, twists
of clothing or anything else must
be sternly guarded against. for
these habits deform the palate and
upper teeth permanently.
The first teeth to be cut. usually
the lower central incisors, appear
from the sixth to the eighth month,
and the rest of the 20 follow at in
tervaIs until about the latter part
of the third year. Considerable de-
lay in the cutting OF teeth is of no
significance If the child is healthy.
Wide variations are normal in
healthy infants.
The baby should pay his first
visit to the dentist at the age of
two years. From this time onward
the dentist should examine the
baby's teeth every six months, al
least, and fill any cavities discoy-
cred with a suitable permanent
filling and not cement. Some OF
the baby teeth must do the child's
mastication for as long as 10 years
and hence makeshift, temporary
filings are wrong. A skillful den

SMALL INVESTORS FACTORS IN BUILDING

Economists investigating present
financial conditions for the depart
ment of labor agree with Walter
Stabler. comptroller of the Metro
poIitan Life in the conclusion that
cial history the small investor in
the United States is to be an i'm
portant factor in financing bust
ness and building. Mr.. Stabler is
quoted to the effect that large
mortgage lenders are not plentiful
in the market and borrowers must
look to small investors, whose par
ticipation may be pooled under the
trusteeship plan.
Mr.. Stabler's statement. adver-
tised by the Title and Guaranty
Trust company of New York City,
was limited to the New York dis
trict, but Investigations made by
the department of labor through
its division of public works and
construction development suggest
the conditions to which Mr.. Stab
Ter directed attention, is pretty
general the country over.
Replies to a comprehensive ques-
tionaire, recently distributed TO a
selected list of representative in
situations throughout the country,
indicate an absolute decrease dur
ing 1918 of funds available for in
vestment in real estate mortgages
and indicate, also, a relative de-
crease since 1914 of funds so in
vested compared with the total re-
sources of the institutions consid-
cred.
1t is essential, in the opinion of
the department of labor, to devise
ways and means of availing of the
small investors capital, and for
that reason the American Bankers
association plan, advocating the
adoption of amortization schedules
for real estate loans, together with
the building and loan association
agitation for a federal. system of
home loan banks" have challeng-
ed the sympathetic interest of the
labor department.

LAST RESORT
By Alison May Kramer

1t was a rough district given
over to rough men of rude, uncul-
tured ways. Outside of the few
towns where law and order ruled,
primitive outlawry and physical
force were the controlling ele-
ments. Thus, when Hal Wyckoff,
the leader OF a 1awless horde of
moonshiners and raiders. cast his
eve upon Nellie Virdin, the daugh-
ter OF the school superintendent a..
Macon, only the genuine fervor of
his love for her prevented HIS COL
lecting a retinle of his favored
comrades. carrying her off bodily,
forcing some itinerant preacher to
perform the marriage ceremony
and defying her friends to get her
back.
He lived here, there, everywhere,
with his lawless confrereS; had a
sister, AIthea, for whom he showed
real devotion, had placed her with
an old maid aunt over at the other
end of the county, far away from
his own environment. Nellie, visit
ing the little settlement where Al
thea lived, had incidentally met
Wyckoff. Later he had seized all
kinds of pretenses to appear in Ma
con and see Nellie. Then he had
watched her home, making sure
that she was alone in the house and
had almost alarmed her by appear
ing at its porch one lovely Septem-
Der evening.
