25 MILLIONS NO W READY FOR STATE
 HIGHWAY PROJECTS
Remaining 50 Millions Will Be Available January 1 for States Which Match
 Federal Funds
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Aee-H Herald
 800 Davidson Ruildii


 Washington, November 12.-(Spe- cial.)-Twenty-five million dollars is iE.xnediately available for the con tinuation of good roads projects in the several states of the union. Jan uary 1 the remaining $5o,O0o,oOo of the s75,0o0 appropriation carried in the bill recently signed by the Presi- dent will be available.
 This money will be prorated among the several states of the union but must be matcheds dollar for dollar, by state appropriations. Texas, be- cause of its extensive territory. will receive larger share than any other state, s4.425,17241. New York fol lows with $3,696,447.e7. Then comes Pennsylvania with ss,SsS,9b3.97, and Ohio with 2,s23,0o4~e6.
 The majority of the states receive between $1.0oO.oo0 and s2.00o,o00. ex- amples following: Alabama, $l.553,- 420.67; Georgia. $1,s97,s57.5s; Missis- sippi, S1,294,906.22; North Carolina, $1.709, 9,s33.9O; South Carolina, $1,061,- 237.s4; Florida. $SS6.s26.69.
 Just in Time
 The new funds are received just in time as projects in several states were about to be abandoned for lack of appropriations. Since 1918, when Representative Byrnes of South Carolina, Lee of Georgia. shackelford of Missouri and other members of the House conferred and introduced a bill, which was suppianted by the Senator Bankhead bill In tho Senate, the government has appropriated $275, ,000,0 as federal aid to roads. Of that amount, s199,s23.427 has been put to work in projects which are completed or in course of completion. To match that amount, the states have appropriated s265.5z9,0e0 for a total of $465,352,5l7.
 The roads to be paid for by this money would encircle the earth and extend from San Francisco to New York on the second lap, the total mile age under construction and com pleted being 27.00o. Of this mileage 9,555 is in projects completed. The balance of HAAS is in projects still

under construction, but which are 6s per cent completed. The average cost per mile of federal aid roads has been between $17,00O and s1S,000.
 250,0O0 Employed
 It is estimated by engineers of the department of agriculture that, fed eral aid roads under construction De- tober 31 were giving employment to about 25as000 men, either directly on actual road construction, or Indirectly In the production and transportation of material.
 The new act will, 1t is estimated, keep this quarter of million men at work, and thereby prevent more seri- ous aspects of the unemployment sit uation. The new act follows the old In that it will be administered by the Secretary of Agriculture. Ap- portionment of the fund is divided into three parts. one apportioned ac- cording to population, one according to area and one according to mile age of rural and star mail routes.
 A new feature is the stipulation that no state shall receive less than if of l per cent of the total fund. This will increase the share of four states. Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
 Connected System Required
 A notable change requires each state to select a connected road sys- tenn not exceeding per cent of it's road mileage for improvement by federal aid. This system will be di- vided into two classes, one of which will be known as interstate highways, and the other as intercounty high ways. The interstate highways must not exceed three-sevenths of the sys- tenn selected.
 All highways in the interstate sys- tenn must have a surfaced width of at least IS feet. In case federal aid highway is not properly main tained by the state, the state will be given 90 days notice by the depart ment. At the end of that period if the highway Is not in good condition of maintenance, the Secretary or Agriculture will maintain 1t out of the states allotment and refuse to approve any new projects until re- imbursement Is made by the state.

"The Methodist Conference"-By Frank Willis Barnett

In no ones life Is more clearly seen the fact that every institu- tion is but the shadow of some man" than it Is in the life of John Wesley, whose work lives after him to bless the world.
 Born on Juno IT. 170s, in the little village of Bpworth, Lincolnshire, England, where his father, Rev. Samuel Wesley. hard-working clergyman, was pastor. he has made the little town known and beloved wherever there are men and women who call themselves Methodists. In September, l775, he was ordained to the ministry of the Church of Eng land and was chosen a fellow of Lincoln college, Oxford. Strange, is 1t not, that he who was to labor in America, and make his home in the south for some time. was destined to start religious movement which would grow into great world church?
 He entered upon the active min istry and from August, 1727. to Mo- vember. 1729. served as his fathers curate in the parish of his boyhood; but in the month last mentioned re- turned to Oxford to assume the duties or ms felioWShip. The great uHiNef~ sity was the cradle of Methodism, but none of it's leaders was destined to make that seat of learning his home. Wesley had no desire to break with the Church of England, but long be- { fore the toleration act of 1889 gave larger, though imperfect, freedom | to dissenters from the national | church, the old Puritan fire had burned low. Archbishop Laud's uni- formity was as dead an issue as were the ideals of the stuart mon archy which he served. The English court was entirely corrupt, the estab- lished church was a little better. and like King and priest, and like people,
 Neither among the Dissenters nor in i the Church of England was vigor- l ous out-reaching religious life ex- l tensively apparent. Preaching was intellectual and anstimulating. Ap- peals to the fundamental religious feelings were exceedingly rare, and were regarded as scarcely fitting | There was need for an emotional presentation of the gospel story to l touch the heart to counteract the head John Wesley saw it and his message went home to che people.
 The remarkable progress of the Wesleyan revival in England was due to the blessing of God to three out standing features of the movement preaching, hymn Singing and orsanl-
