STARTING FROM THE RIGHT END

The following article in regard to
good roads is taken from the La
dies Home Journal and is on the bet
ter roads movement and suggestion
of how to have better roads.
"County roads and state highways
are vital to easy transportation, and
transportation is vital to a host of
things-to farming and mining, to
foresting and manufacture, to mar
keting, to education to churchgo-
ing, to necessary recreation, to social
contact, to civilization. But these
roads will never take form until they
are assured entry into national high
ways any more than the blood vessel
can function without the great ar
teries and veins which feed and drain
them; than the muscles can function
without a sturdy skeleton on which
to work.
"Tbs arteries Of transportation,

Record of Ratification Of Federal
Amendment Expunged from
Its Journal.
BELIEVED INEFFECTIVE
State Officials Express Belief That
Legality or iIlegality Of Tonnes
sees Ratification viii Be De-
cided in Favor Of Women.

Nashville, Tenn.-The Tennessee
House of Representatives, with a
quorum present for the first time
since August 20, expunged from its
journal all record of ratification
of the federal suffrage amendment and
voting, to non-concur in the action of
Senate in ratifyings the amendment.
Governor Roberts, on being notified
OF the Houses action, declined to make
any statement other than to say that
the situation could only be dealt with
in a legal manner and was in the
hands Of Attorney General Thompson.
The latter, in a letter read on the
House floor during discussion of the
matter OF reconsidering the vote, ex-
pressed the opinion that reconsidera-
ton OF the resolution of ratification
was impossible, since the House al
ready had adopted it and Governor
Roberts had certified to Secretary of
State Colby this action by both House
and Senate.
State officials and members OF the
Legislature expressed the belief that
that legality or illegality of Tennes-
sees ratification would be decided on
the record certified to Washington by
Governor Roberts, and not on the ac-
tin taken by the House Tuesday.
Anti-R atificationists In Control.
Shortly after the House convened 1t
became evident that the anti-ratifica-
~tionists, a majority of whom have been
in Alabama on a flibuster for more
than a week, we're In the majority
through failure of several of the suf-
ffage members to arrive in time. With
clockline program, the ants proceeded
to put through their plan of attempt
ing to undo what was done on August
81, when ratification was accomplished.
The first step was the motion to ex-
punge from the journal of that day
all reference to the proceedings on the
suffrage ratification resolution. After
this was carried. At to 81, with six
not voting, motion was made and ar
ried that a certified copy of the reso-
tuition. the original OF which Is in the
hands of the Senate, be spread on the
journal.
Point Of Order Over-ruled.
Representative Riddick, floor leader
of the ratificationists, made the point
of order that the resolution was out
OF the hands of the House and now a
part of the federal Constitution
through proclamation of Secretary of
State Colby. He was over-ruled by
Speaker Walker.
The House, by a viva voce vote. then
adopted a motion to reconsider its pre-
vious action on the resolution. Motion
was then made and carried to non-con-
cur In the action Of the Senate in rati-
flying the ratification resolution.
MISUNDERSTANDING would not state
whether they expect to make an ef-
fort to have the Senate, which voted
to ratify rs to A, reverse It's action.

Belfast-Martial law was declared in
Belfast at noon Tuesday.
Rioting, which broke out between
Sim Feiners and Unionists had been
practically continuous for "a hours and
was growing in intensity.
The death list was 20, and with
many of the 200 wounded in the hos
pitfalls in critical condition, it was be-
lieved the fatalities would be material
ly increased.
Reports received here indicated that
disorders growing put of political and
religious differences were spreading
throughout Ireland.
Virtually the whole adult population.
including hundreds of women, was
gradually being drawn into the fray.
Heavy reinforcements of British troops
were being rushed here from Dublin
on a special train.
The rioting, which previously had
been limited to the s%hipyards' district
and the Sim Fem quarter, had spread
until it involved several of the prin.
cipal sections.
When the fighting began the partici-
pants mostly employed clubs, bricks or
their fists, but now %revolvers and even
a few rifles made their appearance.
Time and again a Gordon of soldiers,
sometimes supported by an armored
car, dashed between groups. Several
soldiers and a few policemen were
wounded in such clashes.
The ~unionists, determined to drive
all Sim Feiners from Belfast, just as
they have from Lisburn and several
small towns nearby, are meeting with
increasing resistance.
Nearly 200 incendiary fires have
been started and the property damage
is estimated at close to 1900, 600. Sim
Feiners are retaliating for destruction
o ftheir homes and business places by
setting fire to unionists' property. The
situation is becoming more serious
hourly.
