BUILD GOOD ROADS
IS GREAT PROGRAM
UNDER NEW ALDLAW
Gov. Will Make a Large
Appropriation for State
Road Work
DURING NEXT 3 YEARS
Sum of Money Available for Federal
Highway Building Largest
in the World
DURING NEXT 3 YEARS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. T
With full State cooperation accord
ing to the terms of the Federal Aid
Road Act, the United States will have
total of at least $574,000,0oO for CO.
operative road building during the
next three years. The Federal part
of this fund is assured by an extra
appropriation of $209,000,000 in the
Post Office appropriation bill just
passed by Congress and signed by
the President.
Officials. of the Bureau of Public
Roads, U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, which administers the provis-
ions of the Federal Aid Road Act and
cooperates with the State govern
ments in the expenditure of the mon
ey, point out that this amount of
funds is the largest ever appropriat-
ed for similar purposes and for a
similar period by any government in
the history of the world, and that
it enables the Federal and State gov
ernments to carry out road-biuld-
ing program of a magnitude never
equaled.
In connection with the great FEEDER
al-aid program it is also noted that
expenditures for highway work in the
United States this year are likely to
amount to a half billion dollars or
more. On reports received from
State highway departments, the Bu-
reau of Public Roads estimates the
1919 expenditures for roads and
bridges at 1886, 100000, or s11O,000.-
900 more than the average expendi-
lures for 1916 and 1917.

Rolph and Gov. Cox of Ohio, chair
man of the committee on resolutions
had risen on questions of personal
privilege concerning their champion
ship of opposing sides in the debate.
The resolutions, which Gov. Cox
announced were submitted unani-
mously after elimination of all parti-
san subjects, condemned doctrines
which inNeigh againt God and gov

that the government should mot only
prepare for the transportation neces-
sites of prosperity, but use the rail-

Why did you stir domestic strife
And cause a husband to scold his

And defer the toll rates no one is

That Thursdays paper dates Febru-

1000 Troops in City
Outbreak Not Surprising,
Says Governor, Scoring
Critics of Local Officials

OMAHA, Ncb., Sept. 3o.--Judgcs Of
the District Court decided to- day to
call special grand jury with view
to prosecuting those responsible for
the race rioting here last Sunday.
At the same time it was announced
by R. T. Coffey, Chief Deputy County
Attorney, who has been investigating
the riot, that men and boys arrested
Sunday IN connection with the rioting
would be held by the police court for
the grand jury. About a dozen men
and boys were taken into custody.
II. j. HyKcl, shot while in an auto
mobile Sunday, died to-day. He is the
tn I'd victim OF the riot. the others be
ing William Brown, negro. w"c was
Iynched by the rioters, and Louis
Young, who was shot by the police
whiIe trying TO affect an entrance to
the courthouse.
More than l 500 Federal soldiers are
IN the city today for riot duty.
Governor Samuel r. McKelvie, who
arrived here early to-day, issued
statement deploring the riot and de-
claring that zone who is acquainted
with conditions in Omaha during the
last few months could not be very
much surprised at what has happened"
~ has been matter of EVERYDAY
occurrercc." the statement continued.
that those who have most TO do with
the moulding OF public opinion have
constantly engaged in petty bicker-
lngs and criticism Of the local officials
which could rot result in any bat
an utter disrespcct OF the law.
deem IL Of utmost importance that
the good people Of Omaha should at
once organize their minds to dis
courage the activities OF those who
are constantly attempting to bring re-
proach upon public officials and ioin
IN common support of those who
have been daily elected to responsible
public positions.'
One of the most alarming features
OF the situation. the Governor said,
'is the extent TO which young boys
were engaged in the destruction OF
property and the violence that char
acterized the riot
The Governor said he would not at
tempt to fix the blame for what hap
pened, Saying he thought it would
perhaps be as fair to criticise the
ones who applauded the actions Of the
rioters as to criticisc those who actu-
ally did the work"
The condition of Mayor Edward p.
Smith, injured when the rioters at
ten pied to lynch him, continued to
ln prove to-day.

and white charmeuse. The Spanish
vogue that is steadily growing in North
America and is making itself felt In Paris
and London wardrobes was an influence
in the designing of this gown. Black
lace is to the Spanish wardrobe what q
dark silk or satin dress is to that Of the
tastefully dressed woman Of America. Il
is absolutely needful for correct gowning.
Over high Empire slip Of white satin IL
worn a pattern of black lace drawn into
slight fitness at the bust and high belt
line. The high girdle, crossed at front
and back. is made of white satin softly
crushed and fat bands of black satin. A
short. square-cut jacket slashed to the
waist line at the sides is made Of black
lace. But into this is set in long and
horizontal lines crossing each other In
sertion of white lace. The same ar
rangement is made of rows Of white inser-
ton in the skirt. The jacket has pockets
that are trimmed at the top with up
standing lace ruffles. The cuffs have the
same dainty Summer touch. The low,
round neck has a border of black satin.
beneath which is a row of white inser'
ton, then a row Of black satin. and
finally a ruffle Of the white lace.
The jackety effect is noticeable in the
third costume shown on this page. While

of the costume is relieved by white satin
cuffs and by white enamelled ornaments

-HIS is a season Of iackety gowns.
The note Of the short coat is seen
\ even in one-piece dresses. The
Jacket serves not merely its old purpose
of extra warmth. 1t has double func-
ton this Summer, for besides being use
full it is decorative.
The large figure is used to display an
afternoon costume appropriate for infor-
NAL midsummer functions. 1t is Of serge
in a light shade. The skirt is straight
and rather scant, with deep fold at the
side The fold is finished at the skirt
hem by a row of button molds covered
with cloth and by an interlacing OF silk
braid of the same shade. The wide but
shallow pockets are outlined at the bot
tom by a row of nine buttons of the same
kind and size. The flap of the pocket is
finished by loops of the braid arranged as
fringe. The lower part of the jacket is
fastened by a short row OF the buttons
and loops of braid.
The long coat sleeves are OF the bell
type The cuffs and collar are OF nat
rows of Oriental embroidery upon vel
vet background. The collar and Guns ana
the jacket above the row Of buttons are
fastened by pieces of black velvet ribbon
finished by pointed metal ornaments. A
dainty collar Of embroidered and tucked
batiste gives an air of lightness, the de-
sirabIe Summer touch. A row OF the
same embroidered batiste completes the
sleeves.
