BIG sum AVAILABLE
FOR ROAD BUILDING
More Than TWO Million Dollars Could
Be Spent Daily on Highways
of the Country.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Approxi-
mately $4,000 900 is available every
working day during the present year for
expenditure upon highways Of the
United States. according to a state
nent today by Professor C. J. Tilden,
director of the Highway and Highway
Transport Education Committee.
+ The actual sum available from state
and county bond issues and federal aid
for the year is $500, zoo, 900, a sum fifty
per cent greater than the total cost of
the Panama canal, according to figures
obtained from the bureau of public roads.
This point was made by Professor Til
den in stressing the need for more
courses in highway construction and
economics in colleges and universities.
To spend this amount wisely, he said,
would require the services of more than
10000 trained highway engineers. At
this time. universities are graduating
only about ZOO civil engineers annually,
of whom only small percentage turn
to highway construction The supply is
far short of the demand, according to
Professor Tilden.
Through the agency of the committee
of which he is director, Professor Tilden
is endeayoring to persuade institutions
of higher learning to include courses in
highway economics in their regular cur-
riculums. Professor Tilden occupies the
University, but is on leave as director
of the committee.
Another and more popular campaign
is being undertaken by the committee by
means of a national essay contest among
high school pupils on the subject Good
Roads and Highway Transport Sew
eral hundred letters of INJURY are re-
ceived daily from all sections of the
country. Even the island, possessions
and the territories are seeking informa-
ton on the contest ~
News of the contest has been conveyed
to pupils by their teachers and school
superintendent in response to an an
nouncement sent out by DR.. p P. Ciax-
ton, United States Commissioner of Ed
ucation, who is chairman of the high
way transport committee. Essays must
be not more than 500 words in length
and must be in the hands of local COM
mittees not later than June Is, when
the contest closes. Only pupils of high
school grade are eligible to compete. Vir-
tually all state superintendent are
announcing the contest to their pupils.
Commissioner Claxton will name the ma
tional committee which will award the
main prize.
= AS a means of encouraging pupils to
write essays, the committee requested
one of it's members, H. S. Firestone, Ak
ron Ohio, to offer a national prize. Mr..
fIrestone put up a four years uni
versity scholarship, with value of not
less than $4,000, as the award for the
best essay written on this subject.
A similar contest held last year re-
suited in approximately 100000 essays
being written. The Firestone scholar
ship was awarded Miss Katharine F.
Butterfield, 16-year old high school girl
of Weiser. Idaho.

SOUNDS FISHY, BUT
HERE'S THE DOPE
Flying Fish Chasing, Latest Fad, Tested
on Pacific Coast.

Here's the latest in fish stories! It
comes from Avalon, on Catalina Island,
twenty-five miles out in the Pacific
Ocean off the coast of Los Angeles.
Catalina Island is noted for several
things. 1t is a good place for goat hunt
ing; it boasts one of the most recent,
and the most western wireless telephone
stations in the United States: and it is
a rendezvous for flying fish, Millions of
the winged creatures which have been
used to Darwinize, or link, the fish and
bird families, make their home in Ava
Ion bay
There is one thing the characteristic
Los Angelese take pride in. That is
their knack of getting down to nature
Consequently when they heard about the
researches the Prince of Monaco has
been making in the sea world. they de-
cided to beat him to it in flying fish in
vestigation
The Catalina Excursion Co. equipped
one of it's boats with giant search
light. and every night it scouts about
Avalon bay soaring thousands Of flying
fish out OF their native haunts, much
of the edification of the passengers. The
flying fish craze has grown to such pro-
portions that instead of one light. the
boat now boasts six powerful Western
Electric floodlights, enabling it to arouse
school after school of the peculiar crea-
lures
Where the yoyagers formerly were
content to recount in thousands the
number Of flying fish they had seen, it
is no uncommon thing now for them to
tell of the millions of winged bodies
which are hurled past the little boat
every clear evening. In true fisherman
style they have their proof ready. They
produce the remains Of unfortunate
members of the flying fish family which
hurled themselves at the boats lights
only to fall helpless on it's decks.
