WOULD PAY SOLDIERS
SIX MONTHS EXTRA

Washington, Jan. IA gratuity
OF six months paw for all officers and
enlisted nscu in the army is provided
for in bill introduced in the senate
by Senator Nardaman of Mississippi.
The allowance would be S2I6 to all
men who served abroad and $3.50 to
those whose service was confined to
the United States. Not less than
sixty days service Is required to en-
able the soldier to draw the gratuity.
In presenting the Bit to the senate,
Nardaman spoke briefly, calling at
tent'on to the rise of Bolshevism in
Europe. which, he said. was due pri-
fnarily to scarcity OF food and en-
ployment, lie said that the six months
gratHft*- would enable tfle discharged
soldiers 10 get on their feet and would
stimulate production and the return

Building construction viii help TO
provide employment for returning
soldiers and for workmen dismissed
from war Industries. One of the
largest sources OF prospective EN-
ployment is the building trade and its
allied factory Industries.
In the case of private construc-
ton, resumption OF activity will
also Lessen the congestion of popula-
ton. improve conditions affecting the
public health and convert inactive
property into active property--which
supplies the means that enable COM
munities to support the functions Of
governments.
During the war the nation prac-
tically concentrated all its efforts on
the production of goods for immedi-
ate consumption-war materials. food.
clothes. The failure TO produce the
normal quota of goods for future con-
sumption has made these scarce and
high priced. and as they are essen
tial to further production they affect
the cost OF production and. conse-
quently, the cost Of living. Chief
among such goods are building and
other real estate provements, m
Guiding public works, as roads.
bridges, etc. The scarcity of buildings.

The inquiry will be under the
direction of business men OF wide

ton will be conducted by a group
of economists and special agents sup

by universities. The field will in
clude the cost aud supply of build

MOVING PICTURES

A movie showing how good roads
would make the farm more attractive
to the young folks. improve educa-
tional facilities, make farm business
more profitable and make country life
just what 1t ought to be. was shown be-
fore the delegates of the Virginia
Good Roads Association convention
last night at Murphy's hotel. The film
Is the one which helped the State
Good Roads Association of Illinois
get $60,0 100000 bond issue through
their Legislature with which TO build
1000 miles of permanent indestrucf- :
ible roads in that state. and to main
tain all their county roads the year
round
The picture traced the evolution OF
travel from the days of Indians and
prairie schooners to the modern age
OF the automobile, proving that the
present day demands upon a road are
more than one Of the old -fashione 4
roads can stand. 1t also demonstrated
the use Of the new auto refrigerator
trucks used in some sections to take
perishable produce to market from the
farms. and it showed the rural motor
mail wagons used wherever the roads
will make them practical.
