A LASTING EFFECT.
New Road Law.


The Morgan McCulloch road bill,
which provides for the ultimate ex-
penditure of about S18, $780, 900 on a
system OF roads in Missouri by fed
eral, state and county aid, passed the
house just before noon last Wednes-
day, by vote of 125 to 4.
The bill provides for the expendi-
ture of total of 100000 in each
county in the state for fundamental
system of "dirt" roads, which may be
earth or gravel. This is on basis of
fifty miles for each county, or 81 200 a
mile. OF this sum $100 must be de-
Quoted for survey and engineering
work if the county itself does not
furnish the survey. This $1,100 a
mile is reckoned as the basis for
building a dirt road, culverts and
bridges with less than twenty foot
span. Any bridge of more than
twenty-foot span will be paid for on
fifty fifty basis by the federal gov
ernment. The 81 100 mile is to be
matched by like amount from the
federal government.
The bill does not assume that even
a dirt road can be built for $1,100 a
mile. 1t provides that whatever is
needed above that amount to build a
dirt road, or any road, must be m ct
on basis of fifty fifty by the county
and the federal government. 1t also
provides that neither the federal gov
ernment nor the state will pay any
thing toward construction Of any road
until 1t has been formally inspected
and approved by the State Highway
Engineers and the Engineers of the
federal government.
None of the money will be spent by
the counties. Expenditure will be
entirely in the hands of the State
Highway Commission, which under
the law will have as it's head super
intendent to be hired later. The
present highway engineer, whose
work recently was investigated by the
legislature and approved, will be -un-
der direction of this superintendent.
The bill was framed to enable the
state to take advantage of the federal
governments offer Of aid which will
expire in three years. Missouri's
share of this fund is $9,324, ,sO4. From
this fund 80, ,6OO,O will be taken and
Joined with like amount from the
the state road fund as basis to con-
struct the system of dirt roads pro-
vided for in the present bill. The
residue will be used to begin at once
a program of hard-surfacing on the
foundation of the dirt roads. The
residue of the available federal fund,
II matched by the counties, will yield
Immediately $11 ,449, ,6O8 for hard sur
facing.
To complete the hard surfacine
program bond issue of 10000, 900 is
contemplated, the bond proposition
to be voted on next year. Under the
constitution the bond issue cannot b,
voted on until the next general cleo
tion. The proceeds of this bond issue
IL the plan carries, will be devoted t,
completing the hard-surfaoing Of tn

roads being kept up, both under the
federal law and the Morgan law.
Both of these laws require the coun-
ties, as one condition of receiving the
money, to maintain the roads in good
repair.
Interest and sinking funds for this
100000, 900 will be supplied from the
auto license fund, as far as the fund
will go, the balance will be made up
by general taxation.

ture, automobiles and certain jewelry.

After these bequests and the be-
quests of $4,000, $4,000 and his resi-
dence to his widow, the will directs
that the remainder of the property be
held in trust by his widow, Edward 7.

FINE LACEs MADE BY SQUAWS
New Industry or Indian Reservations
Said to Be Bringing independence
and Happiness.

AS n associates lnce making with
deft fingers, it Is hard to realize that
the stoical squaw has the necessary
digital equipment for this work. But
in the Indian reservations In the far
and middle West lace making is prov
ing a means toward economic indie
pendence for the Indian woman, the
New York Tribune states.
1t was through a deaconess Of the
Episcopal church that lace making was
introduced to the Indian. Until then
squaws of the first Americans had not
engaged In the decorative arts except
to make beaded garments for their
braves. In 1890, however, the first les
son in lace making was given to Ojib-
way squaws near Duluth. Bishop
Whipple of Minnesota. M Of the pio-
neer missionaries of the Episcopal
church among the redskins, early real
lied that the solution of the Indian
problem lay in making the Indian self
supporting.
So successful were these efforts
that today lace schools are maintained
on ten reservations. Their exquisite
examples In cutwork, n~eedlepoint and
bobbin lace have received gold medals
at five expositions, and today the
squaw. without neglecting her house.
hold duties, can earn from SIS to 500
a year..
To encourage just such activities
among the Indians will be one of
the purposes of the nationwide CAM
paign of the Episcopal church. But
to give economic independence to the
squaw has not been the only accom-
plishment of the introduction Of lace
! making on the Indian reservations. 1t
has not only taught industry, but 1t
has brought about cleanliness.
A report of the Sybil Carter Indian
Lace association, named for the dea-
coness who introduced this work,
records that this industry has rams
formed the lives Of Indian women I'M
dertaklng it. They can readily be
distinguished from the others by their
neat appearance and bright and hope
full faces.
A similar impression was obtained
by q United States senator, who re-
ported that he had never seen a hap
pier lot of women. 'They not only
worked steadily" he said, '.bnt actu-
ally laughed and chatted together, in
strong contrast to the Rpathetie and
hopeless squaws whom Bishop Whipple
called upon Deaconess Carter to be-
friend" 1t is planned also to revive
the old-time arts of beadwork and has,
kerry.
The association has a prominent
shop in New York. where the sales OF
Indian work amount to about $1,000
