 DIES MONIES, la, June 23.-Use of cigarettes was condemned by the General Federation of Women's clubs at the afternoon session of the biennial convention. Resolutions re- citing that the cigarette habit is ap- parently increasing among women and the use of tobacco is harmful to them were adopted.
 Resolutions urging an educational campaign against the use of ciga- rettes by men and asking state au- thorities to prohibit the sale thereof to minors also were adopted.
 Three invitations were extended 10 the federation for the 1922 biennial. The women's club of Shanghai. China, asked for the next biennial; Hot Springs. Ark. extended an invita- ton as did Chicago. The executive board will decide the meeting place later.
 Among resolutions passed were those asking that congress bring the higher position in the federal gov ernment and bureau heads under the civil service; that state officials be petitioned to pass uniform marriage

 It was questionable tonight whether any direct reference to the Volstead act would be urged on the platform framers. There are pros and cons tO be thrashed out in that respect. The plank to be urged by the anIi-bone- drys, however, is expected. whatever it may say otherwise. to rap the Re publican congress sharply for enact ment of the enforcement measure in its existing form. Probably. it was said, the attitude of Postmaster Gen eral Burleson in his statement yester- day, attacking as absurd" provisions of the Volstead act and contending that they were calculated to defeat the purpose of the prohibition amend ment, would be reflected in the plat form language proposed.
 A new source of discussion arose today in connection with convention procedure. It had to do with deter mining whether the platform should be adopted before or alter the presi- dential nominee has been selected
 Chairman Cummings apparently has had the question up with the man. agers of various candidates and found their views to differ. Some of the workers for this or that candidate profess to see strategic advantage for their man in one course or the other. The national chairman did not share their views, but to promte harmony will call the campaign managers into conference on the eve of the cOnven- tion to see if a satisfactory program cannot be arranged in advance.

 CHICAGO. June 23. - Everything possible is being done to expedite the decision of the wage demands of rail road employees. the railroad labor board said today. The board late today had not received President Wilson's message requesting an i'm mediate decisios, but after reading press dispatches from Washington. G. w. Hanger. public representative on the board and chairman of it's publicity committee, announced that no statement would be made. as it might be construed as an apology for delay. and that the board has no apologies to make.
 Public hearings were completed only two weeks ago. Mir Hasger pointed out. and the board was now devoting all it's time to considera- tion of the several hundred schedules which must be issued.
 The decision will be forthcoming, he said. 'in a reasonable length of time" but he declined to define such reasonable time.
 Members of the board previously had indicated that the decision might be ready within ten days or two

 MT. Cummings was emphatic today in defining the question to be solved as not a prohibition issue, but merely an expression of the party's attitude as to the Volstead enforcement act. There were numerous other issues on which there would be difference of opinion before the resolutions commit tee, Mir. Cummings thought, including profiteering, the industrial plank touching relations between capital and labor, the Irish question and others. but no present prospect that they could not be harmonized in com mittee. A minority report is Co be eX- pected only on the so-called beer planks."> it was agreed, and that will throw the fight into the convention it. self.
 On Personal Liberty
 The Washington enforcement plank was drafted in circles ordinarily in close touch with the administration. It is understood to have been drawn from the personal liberty angle and to advocate in general terms liberali- zation of the Volstead act. Specific mention of wine, beer or any other beverage was omitted. The plank will be put forward as representing the opinion of many senators and repre- sentatives and its framers hope to be able to claim for it the backing of President Wilson himself. It was drawn after conference in which more than one member of the cabinet shared, it was said. and in which anti bone-dry senators took a leading part.
 To Avoid Mentioning Beer
 Avoidance of specific mention of beverages, proponents of the Washing ton plank argued, and an appeal for an enforcement policy more in har- mony with American ideas of personal liberty would serve to prevent alien ation of sentiment which a more di- rect approach : might push into the bone-dry ranks. By such a course, also it was added. the party's stand could be in strict accordance with the

Low COST ESTIMATE
ON LANCASTER Pike
State Engineer Says 1t Can Be
Made Into Federal Highway
For About $4,000

District Road Engineer Do
of the State Highway Depart
ment, was in Madison and Gar
rard counties Tuesday, going over
the proposed line of the Federal
Highway, which will connect here
with the Dixie Highway. Both
Boyle and Garrard counties have
asked Madison to join them in
pushing through splendid gov
ernment built road that will be
permanent highway connecting
the eastern and western divisions
Of. the Dixie Highway.
Engineer Dorsey made very
reasonable estimate on the cost of
Madison county's part, which is
only II miles, extending from
Richmond to Paint Lick. He be-
lleves that the work can be done
in a manner satisfactory to gov
ernment engineers for $4,000.
With the government paying half
the cost, it has been proposed that
the county pay half of a. -
mainder and farm owno aloag
the pike the other half o. tIle bal
ance. Several prominent
farmers have already agreed to
pay at lesat 81 an acre for what
ever acreage they have along the
pike. The building of govern
ment highway would mean
great increase in valuation of land
along it, and none would be more
benefited than the land owners.
The Madison Fiscal Court will
meet Saturday to take up the
matter and some definite decision
may be arrived at.
