ROW TO SECURE FEDERAL AID
TO BUILD COUNTY ROADS

Columbia, April 3.--The State High
way Commission is frequently asked
by county officials and interested
citizens what steps are necessary in
order to secure the large sums Of
Federal money which are now avail
able for building roads in South Car
.olina
1t is necessary first of all for the
county road officials to pass a reso-
luton asking the State Highway
Commission for Federal aid for build
ing certain section or sections d
the State Highway system in their
counties. These resolutions mus.
provide for the money to defray half
of the cost. This money to cover the
Federal funds can come from the
county treasury Or from municipali-
ties, or from private individuals.
There is one instance on record in
which private corporation in South
Carolina agreed to provide part 81
the funds necessary to build an i'm
portant bridge.
After the county road authorities
notify the State Highway commission
by resolution that they want to build
part or parts Of the State highway
system in their county and that half
the money necessary is available, the
State Highway Commission sends an
engineering party to survey the road
to be built. After these surveys are
made the State Highway Commis-
sioner's engineers prepare a careful
estimate of the work to be done, to-
gether with complete description
Of the work. including blue prints and
plans. All of this data is forwarded
to the secretary Of the u S. depart
ment of agriculture, Mr.. D. F. Hoas-
ton, who is a South Carolinian. The
secretary OF agriculture approves the
project, and the State Highway Com
mission in cooperation with the coun-
ty authorities proceeds to ask for
bids from contractors.
After securing a satisfactory bid
the contract is let and the federal
government pays half of the cost OF
the road building.
The same process is followed III

WHEN FLYING IS UNIVERSAL
Some Highly Interesting Legal Prob

A series Of interesting questions has
been made concerning contingencies
that may be expected when the air is
actually used for miscellaneous traf-
fc. How, for example, will the man
on the ground be protected against
carelessness by the man in the air,
and what kind of sign can the air
plane carry which will serve to identi-
fy it If some earth-man wishes to
lodge a complaint with the authori-
ties? Or again, what will be the rights
Of the proprietOrs of q baseball park
If an aviator evades the price of ad-
mission by flying about over the dia-

of the man who is kept awake at
night by airplane motors? What will
be the limit of the private citizens
property measured perpendicularly,
and how can he tell whether or not an
airman is trespassing? Such questions
are amusing to read, but in all serious
ness they mean that the legal prob
lens that will come up with the in

ingenuity for settlement.

"Not so long ago life insurance com.

overweight is reckoned as the Stun

In other words, the thin man was
once regarded as poor risk, whereas
now he is preferred to the stout man.

the reason for this switch around in

WAS DICKENS OFFICE BoY
And All He Remembers OF Great Au-
thor Is the Peculiar Style OF
His Clothes.

The perseverance with which the
unimportant fingers in memory is IL
lustrated by the sum total of what the
veteran porter who lately retired from
his post at Temple Gate, London. can
now recall about Charles Dickens.
Back in the sixties this man, it is said,
was office boy for the author, then
editing "All the Year Round" All he
remembers is that Dickens wore a
"black velvet coat with big smoked
pearl buttons, and a queer waistcoat,
and trousers of shepherds plaid. the
biggest check you ever saw, and
great big deerstalker hat, as they
called them, and his hair all hanging
down, wiry like" Also that once upon
a time somebody asked him, rs that
showman?" And he answered.
"That's the great Charles Dickens"
A vivid picture, and this is probably
why, plaid trousers and all, it still
sticks in the former office boys mem
ory; but one wishes he could now re-
call some of the other things he must
have observed in his remarkable chief.
