The Insuperable Always
Challenges McAdOO

william Gibbs McAdoo's life has been
full Of the realization of his boyish
whims. He likes to tell how at years
old he always wanted to satisfy his
curiosity to know how the. two railroads
at MilledgevilIe crossed each other.
81 could not get 1t through my head
that the tracks could cross on the same
level or that one might pass over the
other. So one day l trudged the dis
lance of two miles out to the crossing
to see for myself" said Mr.. McAdoo.
McAdoo's boyhood was spent in the
wake Of Shermans march to the sea.
Left poverty stricken in a barren coun-
try, only the pluck of the boy and the
character of his father and mother saved
the day for him.
The elder, McAdoO was a versatile
lawyer and judge. His wife was Mary
Faith Floyd, descendant of the Floyds of
Mexican war fame. Both were of sturdy
stock of eastern Tennessee.
The son was educated in the University
of Tennessee. At the age of 10 he was
appointed deputy clerk of the United
States circuit court for the Eastern Dis
trict of Tennessee. when % years old
he was admitted to the bar at Chatta-
nooga.
McAdoO went to New York In 1892
and until 1903 was a partner at law with
William fcAdoo. The first incident which
brought him into public light was the
idea to drill a tunnel beneath the Hud-
son river and connect New York City
to the neighboring cities in New Jersey
Completion of this stupendous engineer
Ing scheme required seven years and
expenditure of S72,O00,O00.
IT'S the insuperable that challenges
me-" McAdoo said, recalling the days
when he battled harder with engineers
opinions than his workmen later did with
their drills and shovels. "They told
me IL couldn't be done, and that's why
I was determined TO show them it could
be done"
McAdoo's chief task at the outset was
to convince fnanciers that the abandoned,
half finished shaft under the river could
be utilized as the beginning of the tun-
mel system he had in mind. After
months and months of consultation with
eminent engineers, he succeeded in CON
vincing them a new cup shield could
successfully be used In completing the
tube. With their o. X. he set about to

THE HIGHWAY SYSTEM"
GoOdrich's gang now has plans for
cement paving in the state covering
forty nine routes and 3200 miles at about
$4,000 mile. In addition to this cost
ly mileage the gang wants to take care
Of 200 miles Of city or town streets con-
Meeting the cement highways. L. H.
Wright, director, realizes that hundreds
OF politicians must be appeased, regard
less Of the cost to the state. Many of the
routes selected represent political trades
reached in Darkroom conferences. In some
instances routes have not yet been desig-
mated because Of political expediency. In
many counties political fights have been
on for months, one side favOring Good
itch and the other any other political
leader. Gov. Goodrich has withheld ap-
prevail Of the routes selected until he can
make the residents support him.
The state, having designated the roads,
will appoint Goodrich supporters to main
tain them. This will give an opportun-
ity to keep any community from ex-
pressing itself at the polls Those who
have favored the commission idea and
have urged the patrol system have rea-
lized that 1t will never amount to any
thing while Goodrich controls 1t.
All Of the contemplated changes can
not be made before the primaries. Lack
OF funds will prevent Goodrich from
making all his friends rich. The COM
mission let contracts at such high figures
last year that 1t used up all tho money
it had for new roads this year. Ham
pered though he Is, the director has built
up wonderful political machine, costing
the taxpayers at least $4,000 a month
and giving them only the poorest kind
OF "One-course" paving. Practices have
been uncovered that are not for the
best interest of the people, but the
''holier-than-thou" commission has
ignored them completely. Constructive
criticism win be diregarded until the
col5rts or che legislature stops the wide
w3ste. A

raise s4,O00oOo by bond issue to take
over the old shaft.
Seven years later, in March, 1910, the
fourth tube was opened to the public
and the system put into operation. Presi-
dent Roosevelt at Washington touched
the button which started the first train
through the tubes, In which rode Gov
Hughes of New York and Gov. Fort of
New Jersey with McAdoo. Completed, the
system and the twenty two story Hud-
son Terminal station In lower New York
represented an expenditure of $72,0O0,0OO
II used to think the building of the
Hudson tubes was the biggest thing /
ever would be called on to handle" said
McAdoo. But when, as secretary of the
treasurer under Woodrow Wilson, 1
found it necessary to handle the gigantic
finances the war on Germany required,
my old accomplishments sank into in
significance. Then when the president
gave me the job Of handling the rail
roads OF the country-well, l haven't un

Sunday "blue laws"
He so told women attending the con-

''T1nder the conditions OF life today
people are put to such a constant strain

He admitted he had gone to see mo-

THE HIGHWAY SYSTEM.
Indiana now has plans for a state
highway system, forty-nine routes being
included, covering about $500 miles. In
addition TO this mileage the system takes
in about 200 miles of city or town
streets connecting the main highways.
The highway commission realized that
pleasing all OF the people in the state
was an impossibnity. Many Of the Of
fetal rOates represent compromises
reached after hearings and Inspections.
In some instances routes have not yet
been designated because of local differ
esees- In Jefferson county fractional
fight has been on for months, one side
favoring the old state road and another
desiring a different route Gov. Good
rich has withheld approval of the route
selected until further investigation is
made.
The state, having designated the roads,
VIII take over these highways and main.
tain them. This will give an oppor-
tunity to watch the difference between
local and state maintenance. Those who
have favored the commission idea and
have urged the patrol system, have led
the people to believe that under the
new system they may look for material
improvements.
All OF the contemplated changes can
not be brought about in a day or q
year. Lack Of funds viii curtai1 ths
commissions building program. 1t can
not let any new road work this year,
but win go ahead with contracts let
last year. Hampered though it is, the
commission has made a start, and II

TO CURB RENT
 PROFI|TE;E|R IN
 BUENOS AIRES

BUENOS AIRES, July (by Asso- ciated Press) Rent profiteering in Buenos Aires, which in the opinion of many travelled visitors, yields to no city in the world in the measure of the excesses it has reached, will soon be curbed if certain bills about to be introduced into congress meet with success.
 The most radical of these measures limits the rent of houses to the equi- valent of about $1O5O United States money. Rents at twice this rate are not uncommon for the ordinary one story house with which BIenos Aires abounds, rates of a year ago having been in some instances trebled. Ac- cording to the author of the measure, Deputy Tamborini, rents in Buenos Aires now average 40 per cent of family's domestic budget.
 The bill also provides that an own CT shall not collect from any property a rent in excess of eight per cent of it's assessed valuation. Landlords can- not transfer their contracts for rent without the consent of the tenants, nor can they evict a tenant on the ground that he has violated some municipal ordinance, except by court order, Such excuses have been en- ployed by landlords against tenants refusing to pay higher rent. Jail penalties are provided for violation of any of the provisions of the pro- posed law.
 There has been but an insignificant amount of building in Buenos Aires since the beginning of the war. Only within the last few months has it been resumed and is on a small scale compared with the building boom which the war halted.

Curl Hair This Way
 and Keep It Healthy

It has been found that the use of harm less fluid which druggists know as "silmer- inc" will keep the straghtest hair in curl for the longest time, giving it the appearance of true naturalness. besides keeping the hair softer and glossier than possible with the heated iron. The liquid should be applied with clean tooth brush before doing up the hair drawing the brush through the hair from crown to tip.
 The hair will be beautifully wavy and curling. and will lie easily and loosely on the head, as it should. considering it's welfare from, hygeinic standpoint. few ounces of i;ouid silmerine will last for months and as it is really beneficial to the hair. it should he generally adopted by the, fair sex It will not spot or discolor scalp or mar. nor leave any sediment, grease or s''ck'hess'- Adv.
