GREAT 1920 ROAD PROGRAM
Necessary for Many States to POST
pone Expenditure of Federal
Funds for Building.

David r. Houston, secretary Of agri-
culture, in his annual report, calls at
tention to the fact that the 1919 pro-
gram for federal aid road building ISL
greater than any previous annual
road-building accomplishment in this
country. 1t is so great, in fact, that
1t undoubtedly will be necessary for
many of the states to postpone until
1920 the expenditure of the federal
funds, because of the necessity of de-
veloping experienced contracting and
engineering organizations from the
stagnant conditions brought about by
the war. Under the terms of the fed
eral aid road act, the apportionnenf

is estimated that funds already pro-
vided will be sufficient to finance nexf

Night Club Fever Sets in as
Gay Life Is Re-
sumed.
ENGLISH LEARN TO DANCE
Shortage of Eligible Young Men Puts
crimp in Dancing Aspirations of
Many English Girls-Resort
to "Paid Escort"

Misunderstanding night of it, be-
came almost a lost art in England
during the late war. The owl and the
Briton were scarcely on speaking
terms.
In the first place, it wasn't patriotic
to "stay out at night" Then there
was the absence of lights, the shortage
of taxis. the ban on dancing and-the
Gothas. SO nights were spent in bed,
and the only time a Londoner saw the
sun rise was when he got up early to
work in his allotment.
London, once the gayest of cities,
became a silent tomb of somber grays
and deep shadows after nine o'clock
at night. | can remember when it
was actually a penal offense to strike
a match in the street. But those who
only saw it in wartime wouldn't know
the old place now
The grays are puppies now and the
lights are bright and red, and in Pic
cadilly Circus they have four electric
signs that flash on and off.
London has acquired the night club
fever. From II p. m. to a. m. has
become the recognized space of time
for worshiping at the shrine of Terp-
sichore.
How the Night Is Spent.
"Are you dancing tonight?' no long
er means are you going to spend the
hours between dinner time and mid
night at a hall or club. 1t means are
YOU going to Rector's, to the Grafton
galleries or to Brett's, picking up your
party somewhere about midnight and
never thinking of going home until the
milkman's horse has got his second
wind and the pink finish of a London
dawn colors the cold night mists.
Then. and not till then. does one turn
homeward in private car, II one mas
one. or a taxi, If one can get one,
with perhaps a brief halt at the near
oct coffee stall for a cup of muddy
Auid which tastes like nectar at that
hour hut which, taken six hours later,
would spoil ones whole day. But such
is night life in big city
The night clubs of London are
neace product. They range from the
ultra-exclusive ones of Bond street to
the frankly democratic and even more
81 ones of Leicester square and Char
ing Cross road-clubs TO suit the taste
and deplete the poesetbook of every
one.
