chapter &c, laws Of 1918, requiring
that no salaries shall be paid to the

clares that such funds shall be "di.

McBeath Answers Charges.
Chairman ]. NJ. McBeath Of the
Mississippi highway commission, was
on the floor of the House when the
Lee resolution was adopted. In dis
cussing the matter he said;
"The highway department has col
lected an overhead charge Of $50 on
all trucks delivered to the counties
because it was necessary to do this
in order to meet the expenses of the
office, to employ an accountant, extra
stenographer, an expert automobile
mechanic and other assistants.
"The law under which we are oper-
ating does not give the commission
even a bookkeeper. The large NUM-
Der of trucks and other road mate
rails donated by the federal govern
ment has brought considerable extra
work on the department, and we were
forced to make proper provision Tor
same, to keep the property in good
condition, and see that it is properly
delivered to the counties.

have nothing whatever to fear Of is

the books, under the direction Of Mr..
Kramer, have been properly kept, and
that every dollar of the overhead

benefit Of the highways Of Mississippi.
GAS to the federal aid fund not be-
ing distributed equally among the
counties, reference to our report
which is now in the hands of members
of the Legislature, will show why this
was not done. 1t was because the
federal government notified the de-
partment that if we insisted on this
the federal aid fund would not be
available for Mississippi.
"If the author of the resolution had
read this report possibly he would
have omitted this part Of the reso-
luton. If any of these funds have

IL not she, but when you once really

IL the queen. That long. elegant,
shining, feminine-lookinr creature

beautifully her body tapers. how dis
tinguished she looks. how deliberate
her movements.
Q. At what season is the blue Jay
silent2
In May or Juno, when other birds
are most vocal ~ 'av is n silent
bird: he goes sneaking about the or
chards and the groves as silent as q
pickpocket; he Is robbing birds nests
and he II very anxious that nothing
should be said about it, but in the
fall none so quick and loud to CRY
"Thief. theft" as he.
8. How does the European cuckoo
differ from our species7
We have only a reduced and modi-
fled cuckoo in this country. Our bird
Is smaller, and IL much moro soil
tary and unsocial. It's color ia totally

A KINDLY AND womANLY DEED.


It will come as great comfort to
the women Of America to know that
the French women made the Ameri-
can Memorial Day a solemn func-
ton. 1t will bring blessing to the
hearts Of others and wives and
daughters in America ITO know that
their dead were decorated by hands OF
women and that womanly tears drop
ped on the graves Of American boys
by French women in mingled memory
Of their own and Of the brave youths
who came across wide ocean to stand
by France In her danger and share
her victory.
1t is a beautiful thing to learn that
children marched to the lone graves
along the battle front to place there
the blooms Of the early summer:
that the American flag floated where
ever an American soldier rests: that
from Spain and lower Italy to line OF
halt OF the armtstice American
graves were sought out and noted.
It is q beautiful thing to know
that the graves SO far away where
50 much Of our love centers were not
lonely or neglected while nations
regard was being lavished upon those
whose happier lot is to lie among
their own people.
