1880, 900 FOR IMPROVEMENT
OF ROADS IN TENNESSEE

| A special from Washington, d. G..
to the Memphis Scimitar, dated Feb
ruary 20, says:
Senator Mcclellan, in statement
addressed to Gov. Roberts and the
state legislature, issued several days
ago, pointed out that Tennessee had
an opportunity to obtain something
like $7,500,OO0 Of federal money fol
the improvement of roads. This is
on the assumption that the rider to
the pOstoffice bill providing an APP
preparation of s200,OOO,000 for road
Improvement, goes through as it is
confidently believed it will. a.t
For some time, however, Tennessee
has had an opportunity to avail it.
self of the use Of government money
for this purpose, the total amount
to which it was entitled being S1,135,-
$685., and yet the. records show il
has applied for but S1SS,217, or but
little more than 10 per cent Of that
which was available. In that, how
ever, it is but little different from
the other states in the Union.
A statement issued by the depart
ment of labor shows that although
five government road projects have
been approved in the state Of Tennes-
zee, none Of them has as yet been
completed. The total cost of these
projects is estimated at $280, 218.75,

of which one-half is borne out of the
federal fund appropriated for this
purpose.
Efforts are now being made by the
of labor to stimulate in
terest in these projects throughout
the country. 1t is admitted that la
Dor costs and materials are high
but there is every reason to believe
this condition will prevail for a long
time and the good roads thus pro-
vided not only will improve the coun-
try through which they pass, but the
work will afford employment for the
thousands of men now being released
from the army. It is urged that the
good roads pay big dividends in in
creased land values and stimulate
business in all lines.
Tennessee has an opportunity, =
said Senator Mcclellan in discussing
these figures, ito fit itself for the
great industrial development now i'm
pending and at the same time obtain
one-half the money from the govern

the money would come from outside
for that to be provided by the states,
counties or districts could be provided
through bond issues and the state
could be gridironed with highways
leading to all important centers and
connecting them one with another.

SERIOUSNESS OF INFLUENZA
EPIDEMIC AMONG CHILDREN

The seriousness of the influenza
epidemic has been brought very di-
rectly to the attention of the Ten
nessee Children's Home Society by
the number of children sent to them
who have been rendered homeless by
the death of one or more parents.
In a statement sent out by that
institution it is stated that the num-
Der Of deaths among our people from
influenza was greater than among
the American soldiers in France dur
ing their participation in the great
world war, and the situation becomes
infinitely more distressing when
large numbers of little children are
thus left homeless and motherless.
The Tennessee Children's Home So
ciety is the staet's official child-care
and child-placing institution for
homeless, orphan, abused, deserted
and abandoned children under seven
years of age. Upton county is en-
titled to commit five children to this
society each year without any ex-
pense to the county, the state bear
ing the expense of this number. The
children are taken to the society's re-
|ceiving home in Nashville, where they
are given the best Of attention in
every way until suitable homes are
found for them, the special work Of
the society being the placing Of these
children in good family homes, where
they will be treated as members Of
the family, educated and given a
chance to make useful men and wo-
men.
