MOTHERS COST LESS
THAN POLICEMEN
BY Judge Henry Neil,
Father OF Mothers Pension Move
ment In America

by Juugc Hcnry Nell,
Father OF Mothers Pension Move
ment in America.
Recently two little boys were pick
ed up by policemen at nearly mid
night, wandering in the streets o
Chicago, they were taken to thei
home. where the policemen founC
their mother had just returned from
her work, scrubbing in a downtown
Office building, and was just begin
ming her own washing for a family
of five.
An adequate Mothers Pension
would have enabled this mother tc
stay home all the time, the respon.
sibility of rearing five children is al
that one woman should be expected
to undertake.
Cook-co Illinois, will pay this year
nearly half a million dollars in Mo-
Tiers Pensions and over ten million
dollars to the police.
The one city of New York will pay
this year over forty million dollars
for police.
The forty states now operating
the Mothers Pension system
will pay nearly fifteen million
dollars this year to mothers for
caring for their own children.
The principal business of police
men at present is to prevent hungry
children from stealing.
The proper primary business of a
policeman is to see that every hum
CRY child has food and a mothers
care so that 1t will not steal.
When more money is spent for
Mothers Pensions the taxes to pay
policemen will decrease.
1t costs the taxpayers less to hire
mothers to care for children than It
does to hire policemen. Why not
hire the mothers?

Policemen are hard-working men,
You'll find that I'm not testing:
They have to work their hardest
when
They know they are arresting.

The reason is quite plain to see,
He never is molested;
Though frequently arresting. he

The Carlisle independent., 1920-11-18

Two thousand years ago the Ro- mans built roads, some of which are still in active service. These roads have lasted through the centuries simply because of their massave con- structions. The Romans built four successive courses of layers of an earth subgrade, carefully prepared and drained. First came the statu- men or foundation, then the rodus, next the nucleus and finally the pavi- mentum consisted of large flat stones, while the two intervening courses were built of smaller stones laid in lime mortar. To carry the chariot and packhorse traffic of Roman times these roads were seemingly ridiculous ly heavy, yet the wisdom of the build CTS was amply demonstrated by the 800 years during which the Roman road system formed the backbone of the transportation system of the an cient empire.

OUTLAY FOR RURAL ROADS
 AND BRIDGES INCREASES

During the calendar year 1919, 46 States of the Union expended over S400 100000 on their rural roads anc bridges, the Bureau of Public Roa of the United States Department of Agriculture recently announced. This total is made up of the actual cash expenditures for such items as labor, materials, supervision, and adn'irie- tration, amounting to $389,455, ,931, and convict labor and statute labor the value of which, not definitely known, is estimated at about $132,- 000,000. So far as possible, all ex- penditures on city streets within in corporated towns and cities and all items of sinking-fund payments or the redemption and interest payments on road and bridge bonds have been excluded.
 1l and bridge expenditures for 1919 show an increase of approxi- mately B 1-3 per cent over those of 1918 and TO per cent over those of 1914 More striking, however is the increase in the proportion of the total funds supervised by the several State highway departments. In 1918 the expenditures by or under the super vision of the State highway depart ments amounted to S117, ,2S5,268, while the local road funds, over which they exercised no control whatever, amounted to S16S,S12,925. In 1919, however the State highway depart ments supervised the expenditure of S200, ,292, ,694 as against the total of s1S9,163,23 expended by the local road and bridge authorities.

THE FAIR STORE SALE

The big reduction sale now in pro- gress at the Fair Store opened up Friday with a store full of people, taking advantage of the low prices that are being offered to the trade.
 MT. J. c. Welch, manager of that popular trading place tells us that the sale opened up most satisfactorily and is progressing in a manner some what beyond his expectations.
 The Fair Store is offering some very attractive prices and the buyers are more than pleased with the values they are getting for the low prices they are paying.

 Our relations with the people of Carlisle and vicinity have been pleas ant and we wish to extend to them our thanks for their many favors dur ing our stay with them, and hope to merit their good will and patronage in the future.
