BEST HIGHWAYS IN N. E.
Roads Leading In and Out of Putnam
Are Good

Connecticut highways are in better
shape than those of any other state
in New England, according to re-
port of the United States weather bu-
reau. issued from Boston. All OF the
main trunk roads except that between
New London and Worcester are listed
as in. good condition, whereas not a
single highway in any other state IN
this section is so listed. Rhode Island
roads are called fair, while those IN
Massachusetts are variously fair, pas
sable and impossible. The bulletin
warns motorists to keep away from
the Berkshires, as all the roads in that
section are under a deep coating OF
snow and ice. The Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont highways are all
described as impossible.
The detailed report on Connecticut
highways follows: Hartford to Spring
field, good; Willimantic to Putnam to
Providence, good; Norwich, good
Middletown to Saybrook, good, ex-
cept soft and rutted at Hamden; Meri-
den to New Haven, good; Plainville
to Plymouth to Danbury, good; Ca
naan to Great Darlington to Pitts

Canaan, impossible beyond; New Lon
don to Putnam to Worcester, soft and
rutted between Lisbon and Plainfield,
elsewhere good.

THIS MAY PROVE
I EBOLSHEVIKI CURE
IDeportees Sent to Russia Put
to snurd Work.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The state
department learned today from sources
1T regards as official that the Russian
bolshevik sympathizers and undesirables
deportsd to Russia some months ago by
the United States were at once put to
work by the soviet authorities.
They were unwilling to perform the
tasks assigned to them by the bolshe-
vik officials and were Informed thai
there was in existence in Russia ma
ehlnery, operated by the extraordinary
commission, for dealing with such cases,
an Institution that deals primarily with
incipient rebellion and other movement:
dangerous to bolshevism.
Most of the deportees thereupon were
set to work repairing the railroad beds
but some escaped under assumed names
while others are under arrest and In
the hands Of the extraordinary commits
sion for punishment.
According to intelligence received by
the government, most Of the atrocities
! in Russia have been committed by or
at the instigation of the extraordinary
commission, which is characterized by
officials here as high handed and secret
tribunal
Until today's advices were received
there was doubt as to the exact fate Of
the deportees, who sailed from America
in seemingly high spirits and many Of
whom expected to be received by the boil
shevik authorities as martyrs and heroes
Among the aeportees were Emma Gold
man and Alexander Berkman.

A second, or any subsequent offense,
places the offender liable to a heavier
hne and imprisonment and to disfran-
chisement for any determinate period.
Mr.. Eschbach, in his statement. took
the school board TO task for the apparent
lax manner in which business has been
transacted for some time past, when he
said:
For years it has been the practice
for the business director of the board of
education Of the city OF indianapolis to
place at the desk of each member of
said board just before the converting
of the regular business meetings for
NAL approval for the expenditure of
public moneys-sometimes thousands of
dollars.
The Member is expected to sign such
approval and has done IL for years,
sometimes without any adequate con-
ceptiOn OF how much money has been
xpended-whether legally or Illegally
sometimes without regard as to whether
the school city has had value received.
This was a violation " the oaths Of the
members and the statutes of the state,
and exceedingly poor business.

Der of years, has bought thousands of

MRS. HYLAN DOES
OWN HOUSEWORK
Wife of New York Mayor Says
It's Fair.

NEW YORK. Sept. 10-The wife of
the mayor of the great city of New York
does her own homework.
She enjoys doing her own house
work
A report that Mrs. Hylan was taking
care of her own home and cooking her
meals occasioned considerable fiutter
among that part of femininity which
spends It's leisure hours retailing the
idiosyncrasies of the last cook"
But 1t is true. Mrs. Hylan herself
verified it.
She handed out some advice as fol-
lows:
"Know how TO serve yourself and your
own family. This is the only safe an
swer to the servant problem.
81 have been without a servant since
early in May. The judge Mayor Hylan)
and myself have suffered no discomforts
because of our lack of home help. On
the contrary, we are enjoying ourselves,
having a regular picnic.
When we dine at home there is no
maid to interrupt the freedom of our
chat and confidence by her presence. II
we dine out, all we do is shut up the
house and go on our way.
1--WE have had a great many problems
facing us every day, but the servant
problem Is not one of them. We wait on
ourselves and each other and ike it."
