Conditions in the republic which

his head but never loses a spoonful,

Chinese skiIIfuI Candy Makers.

The Chinese are very Skillful in
making confectionery. They are able
to empty an orange of its pulp entire
~ and then fill it up with fruit jelly
without one being able to find the
smallest cut in the rind or even a
tiny hole. Indeed, they even empty an
egg in this manner and fill it with a
sort of almond nougat without one be-
ing able to find the slightest break or
lnciSion in the shell.

STATE MUST SPEND EIGHT MILLION ID
 GET FEDERAL AID
Alabama Must Duplicate Government Highway Ap- prOpriatiOns Dollar for
 Dollar, Says Keller
By FRED H. GORMLEY
 Montgomery Bureau The Ase- Neral,

<ei-< fhSt bdnk buuutng
 Montgomery, July 20.-(SpeciaL) )-Ala- bama must spend ss,195, ,77s0S in construct ing and rebuilding public roads during the two years beginning July 1, if it is to receive all federal aid allotted to the states for that period. according to re- port submitted at the monthly meeting of the state highway commission and made public by w. s. Keller, state high way engineer Tuesday. This does not mean that actual work must be done during the two years, but that surveys and plans must be made and project agreements consummated.
 Federal aid available during the next year totals s1,s93, ,oo1.5S. while the appro- pration for 1921 which may be used now totals s2,104SSS.51. Alabama must dupli- cate the federal appropriation dollar for dollar. High prices of material and labor have prevented many construction pro- jects being started. but Engineer Keller emphasized that engineering work must be continued if the state is to obtain full benefit of the federal funds.
 Road building materials have advanced from POO to 300 per cent, and it is almost impossible to obtain them at any price. La Dor which was paid s1 to s1.50 day q few years ago, is now costing the high way department from s250 to s4 a day, and the efficient is mingled with the in- efficient
 Railroad embargoes have seriously in- tertered with road construction work. and Mir Keller said the Interstate Commerce Commission has only recently placed a sixty day embargo on the use of coal cars for highway and municipal work.
 One interesting feature of the report was the announcement that the federal government had contributed to the state highway department excess war equip- ment which had been appraised at $l. .323.- S94. The cost of the equipment to the highway department was S39, 56137. most of the amount going as freight and inci- denal costs of the transfer of the ma chinery from the government to the state. Included in the machinery were automo- piles, trucks, locomotive, freight cars and twenty-five miles of trackage.

By Associated Pros.

 Lincoln. Neb. July 20.-Leaders In various delegations to the prohibition national convention tonight declared they will go into their first session tomorrow determined to name William Jennings Bryan as their presidential nominee despite the fact-~that they have received word indirectly from MT. Bryan that he does not want the nomination and does not consider II advisable for the party to place 8 ticket in the field.
 The only thing that can avert an attempt by large group of delegates to stampede the convention for Bryan and name him by exclamation is for the Nebraskan himself to send word that he positively will not accept the nomination according to many state leaders. A telegram was sent to MT Bryan today informing him that unless such a statement is forthcoming his supporters will attempt to carry out plans of placing him before the people on the dryest platform that can be found.
 The decision to attempt to force nomination of MT. Bryan was made late today after several secret con ferences of national committeeman
  here.
 A lapse in the Bryan boom during the early hours today revealed that Dan A. Polling of New Yodk, ading in- ternational president of the Christian Endeavor, will have considerable strength, as many delegations an nounced him as their second choice Bryan being first.
 Besides the usual dry blanks, the platform committee will have before it proposed blanks advocating public ownership of railroads and public utilities, world tribunal to settle in- ternational disputes, friendly co-opera ton with Mexico rather than hostile interference,' federal anti-lynching laws and one dealing with labor prob lems.
 Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the Order of Railway Engineers, has pre- pared labor plank which will be presented to the committee.
