ings have been held each year, none

war began. Before the war the con-
gress had met In Brussels, Paris and
London.

way officials that he would enlarge
the advisory committee of state
highway officials, which consults with
the department on federal policies in
road building. This committee, con-
sisting Of six members. will now in
clude the entire executive committee

bership to u. The secretary said this
step was taken so that the committee
would more completely represent all
parts of the United States. The en-
larged membership will enable the ad-
visOry committee to work out classi-
fication of roads for the entire coun-
try, thereby providing basis for a
more orderly national program of road
building.
The executive committee inspected
signal device destined to prevent
grade crossing disasters and accidents
on dangerous curves. It met with the
director of sales Of the war depart
ment with reference to obtaining
equipment which is seriously needed
in road building and which the states
have been unable to secure.

ninety pounds and was 60 years old.
His expression never changed and
his soul seemed shrivsled with his

the mean eyes Of surly boar and
1t was said in the chop suey places
that he had with a wicked, sharp
knife slit three throats of drunken
men.
But before the police he was like

never had anything on him. Sing
Lee was not without his love affair.
He gave much Of his money to q
