Our highway department is ex-
ceedingly anxious for : continued
appropriation Of Federal Aid high
way money. Washington has used
all that has been appropriated tn
this state and has matched the Fed
eral money dollar for dollar and has
spent several millions annually in
the construction Of our state high
way system. Our highway building
program will materially cripple un-
less we can have a continuance Of
Federal Aid. We realize that abou,
$150.000.000 Of former appropria
lions will probably revert as It II
has not been used by several Of tho
states. but we feel that that ought
not to be used to the detriment OF
those states that are endeavoring to

Need for Automobile Transportation
THE number of>automobiles pur.
chased and used will continue to In.
crease as long as population in
creases." says Burton Troxell of the
Capital Motors Corporation, local
dealers in Chevrolet passenger and
commercial cars.
1.-THE automobile did not of itself
create the need which is supplies
As necessity is always the mother ..
invention, SO the automobile is the
result of demand rather than tue
cause Of it.
Transportation is essential to the
progress of civilization. The more
efficient the transportation methods
employed. the more advanced civil;.
cation will be. And the automobile
is the most progressive transport in
general use.
People have always wanted per.
sonal conveyance which would make
them independent Of the common linn.
itations ! Of trayel-time. distance
physical discomfort. That IL what
We have in the automobile. It haa
made old dreams come true.
Railway and car lines alone could
not supply the transportation for pas
sengers and goods demanded today
Automobiles are sharing this respon.
sibility. and fulfilling it even more
efficiently by reason Of their greater
convenience and range Of travel.
More than that, they are serving
in ways possible to no other means Of
transit. Today we see automobiles
overcoming old limitations which
other methods OF travel have imposed
upon business development and the
useful activities Of the individual.
I'm this they complete mans per.
sonal equipment. Everyone who has
ever used an automobile knows thu
feeling of independence it affords
And now that everyone familiar
with its benefits and how to apply
them, it will play an even more i'm
portant part in progress In the futur,
than it has in thgpest." N

CARSON SEES RED
 PLOT IN IRELAND
Says Sim FeineT Are Backed
 by BOEheViStS

| London, July 31.-Charges that the | Sim F'ein is part of a great world 1 wide conspiracy in which Bolshevism and German revenge are playing an active part, aiming at the destruction of Great Britain, have been made by
 Sir Edward Carson and the Duke of Northumberland.
 This was revealed today by publica- tion of an official report of a confer ence between Premier Lloyd George and unionist peers and members of the house of commons at which Car son and the duke were chief spokes- men for the unionists.
 The duke said an alliance was formed in 1919 between the Sim F,ein and the Bolsheviki through pr. Patrick McCartan, Sim F'ein am bas- sador' to America; that the Sim Fein was represented at all the conferences in Russia leading up to the third in ternationa.le and that the Sinh Fein program was virtually identical with that of the third internationale.
 Carson argued that it was from the time that Frank P. Walsh of the Indian propaganda bureau in Amer ica" came to Ireland last year that the Sim F'ein became unmanageable in a conspiracy which he said would even tually beat the British governm ent. He quoted from speeches of Judge Daniel F. Cohalan of New York to support his arguments.
 Premier Lloyd George agreed there was Bolshevist support behind anti British activities in Ireland and said he would not be surprised if there also was Bolshevist money. But" he Il l~l l. we came to the conclusion that the Sim F'ein is purely Bolshevist con- spiracy against Great Britain.
 Appealing for 1000 officers to put down tbs-conspiracy and saying that the Irish situation was more trying to men's nerves than the late war. the premier alluded to the drastic nature of the governm ents coming bill and asked for support for the govern ments policy of enforcing the law and granting Ireland any measure of hb- erty and self-government consistent with the supremacy and security of the United Kingdom.
 nene-+s continue 70 como from Ire land of other disorders after tn sa-- sassination yesterday of Frank Brooke, friend of Viscount French and the escape of Brig. Gen. O. H. T. Lucas from Sim Fein kidnappers.
 Three soldiers and three Sim Fein- CTS were wounded when military po- lice were disarmed by Sim Feiners in the heart of Dublin
 Charlemont fort in Belfast, dating from Queen EIizabeth's time, has been burned oy armed raiders.
 An economic war against Belfast by neighboring Sim Fein territory, in reprisal for the exclusion from Belfast of Sim Fein workers seems forecasted in Louth county.
 Masked men have held up railway officials at Newtown, Butler county, last night and kidnap- ped the guard of freight train.
 Two soldiers were shot dead from ambush near Limerick Another patrol was mbushed near Dublin and relieved of its arms. Sim Feiners damaged an Orangemen's hall at County Down.
