His recommendation, Mr.. Allen said,

Peter A. McCabe, assistant district at
torney, he outlined her experience as
he had learned it from her.
Mr.. Mitchell in 1915 lived at Roam
oke, Va, with his wife, two daughters
and son, when Louise disappeared.
The family was frantic, but never
gave up hope. Last week the elder
daughter, visiting in Newark, spied
her young sister on the street. She
embraced her and took her home to
Richmond Hill.
Louise explained that she had been
captured by a gypsy band headed by
a man. who called himself Gregory
John" Gregory fancied her as wife
for his son Joe, and in few months
they were married in accordance with
some weird gypsy ceremony. Two
years ago, the girl related, she bore
the son child, whom the gypsies still
possess.
From the time of her kidnapping the
band roved all over the South In a
couple of automobiles. the girl related,
stopping here and there to gather in
the shekels. They made her pose as
a queen" she said, and forced her
to tell fortunes wherever they stopped.
The band drifted north this summer,
and was in the outskirts of Newark
when she met her sister. The girl
led her family to where 1t had been,
but 1t was found that the gypsies took
to their heels and fled when they dis
covered that their queen" had found
her folks.
Mr.. McCabe referred the Mitchell
family to the federal authorities in
New Jersey.

Bond Issues

Last year road bonds sold to the sum of S6OOOOO
bond of $5OOOOO is being hoated The bonds
are sinking fund bonds, with a 4O-year term.
Forty-year bonds for really permanent roads nan
cialy sound If the life of improved road is only
twenty years, is obviously unwse to load state up with
4Oyear bonds for roads that will be of commission in
less than that time simply that the roads of today
paid for by the next generation who must however,
build new roads, for those they will still be paying for will
already have passed away. But if road has 4Oyear
lfe it rational enough that generations should
bne to pay for it.
The present cost of permanent roads is high, and will
probably be for years During the past few
the cost of labor has increased from 100 $50 pe and
the cost of materials from 100 200 per The present
economies possible in road building are, therefore,
chiefly good workmanship accurate inspection adequate
