Union in improving its highway sys-

According TO a recent report Of the
u. S. Department of Agriculture, Cali
fornia and Texas, the two largest
states, were tied for first place in
road improvement plans. II the pro
posed 4 100000 is voted, California
easily will lead.
Already the state has spent S35, 000,-
900 for its highways and in addition
to this fund there are many county
appropriations for road improvements.
According to government figures,
Texas will spend S20,O0Q.000: West

In his speech against the proposed

he spent considerable time in the eff.

his presentation Of the Liberian peril
With the statement, however. that the
league was simply five great powers

MEXICO APPALLING
CHURCHMEN TOLD
fRv Associated Prassl

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. May 22.-Mexico Is
hopeless religiously and appalling So
cially and Japan is curtailing the pro-
gress of Koreans because of her apa-
thy toward foreign missionaries, ac-
cordinz to the report of the committee
on foreign missions submitted to the
131st general assembly of the Presby-
terian church today.
Mexico needs most of all men of
character in her political life," declares
the report. "The country's stringent
laws regarding religion make 1t yir-
tually impossible for missionaries to
make any progress and owing to the
poverty there social conditions are ap-
palling."
Missionaries have great influence
with the Koreans, but the japanese
are unwilling to have foreigners exert
it over their subjects, the report re-
cited.
The question of sex equality in
church affairs was brought before the
assembly in the report of the commit
tee on policy. The committee was
split on the question, but the ma.
jority report favoring the plan of per
mitting women to become ministers
and elders and the minority report
opposing it.
Action on the report is expected to
be taken last today.

The two branches of the well-known
forest family are living in different
parts of the zoo town, however, and
nothing more than long distance gos-
siping is expected.
The two newcomers, typical mon
key-faced birds arrived from Cincin-
natl yesterday Their original habitat
was in a wood along the Hamilton
Cincinnati road, where they were
caught not long ago by a man who
decided to hand them over to Glen
park.
Other animals at the Glen are in
good condition. said Ed Hollarn, su-
perintendent of the park today. Mr..
Hollarn says he has been greatly de-
layed in planting flowers on account
of the inclement. weather. but he
hopes to get some beds set in gor-
geous geraniums soon. 1t has been
entirely too wet to plant these yet, he
explains.

SENATORS TO VOTE

WASHINGTON, May 22.-With the

passed for the second time yesterday
by the house, supporters of the meas
ure today were turning their attention
to the senate in an endeavor to in
crease the slight margin of strength
which the amendment now is said to
have in that body before it comes up
for vote, probably within the next
three weeks.
Forty-two votes more than the neces-
sary two-thirds were cast in favor of
the resolution in the house yesterday
showing a marked increase in senti-
ment in that body for equal suffrage
since it last voted on the measure,
January 10, 1918, when exactly the
necessary two-thirds vote was secured.
Opposition was expressed In the bal
lot by many southern Democrats and
several New England Republicans. The
party division in the vote showed 200
Republicans, 108 Democrats, one in
dependent and one prohibitionist vot-
ing for the resolution, while seventy
Democrats and nineteen Republicans
voted against 1t.
All efforts of opponents of the reso-
luton to amend it were unavailing.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The wo.
man suffrage constitutional amend.
ment resolution gained another vote in
the senate with the announcement to
day by Senator Hale, Republican OF
Maine, that he would support it. Sen
ator Hale voted against the resolution
at the last session. Sufragists pre-
viously had claimed sufficient votes te
insure adoption of the resolution in
