worthy movement upon the part OF the

containing the names of the soldiers
who served from the various counties.
and with special reference to those
who gave up their lives.
We would urge upon the present
State officials that they cooperate In
every way with the War Mothers in
this project, particularly the State
Road Department. which might make
of this structure part of the great
highway, scheme now being worked
out In Kentucky. and would recon-.
mend TO the next General Assembly
that they assist In making such me
mortal possible.

organization OF the women who gave
their sons upon cali Of :heir govern
ment that the world might be free.
have determined that the patriotism
and herolsm OF all Kentuckians In the
late world war shall be memorialized
IN a most lasting way by the building
OF memorial bridge across the Ken
lucky River at the State Capital. This
splendid monument, shown above, was
given the strongest endorsement by
the General Assembly, Of Kentucky at
the session just closed, with the sug-
gestion that II be made part OF the
great public highway scheme laid out
by the Assembly. :,
The organization Of War Mothers,
which is made up Of county units rep
resentlng each OF the one hundred and
twenty counties Of Kentucky, deter
mined TO unite In single memorial
builded by the combined efforts of the
county organizations rather than scat
tered monuments. They decided that
the monument be an emblem repre-
senting the entire Commonwealth
that It should be practical. useful
memorial and that 1t should be located
where II would be spectacle to the
greatest number Of people OF the Com
monwealth. A glance at the picture
shows the very practical side of these
suggestions. The bridge win cross the
Kentucky River at the head of Main
