MANY BILLS PENniNG
 FOR FEDERAL AID State Highway Department Have Ap- pliCatiOn for 20 Roads Wanting
 Federal Aid.
By Clio Harper.

By Clio Harper
 Little Rock, May 30.-Thare are 20 bills pending ill congress with refar- ence to the application of Federal aid to public highways The whole ques- ti0n seems to be very much confused and the situation has not been cIeali- fed by the developments 1n Arkansas. In fact, the Arlansas situation seems to be one of the bones of contention and to be furnishing more material than that of any other state for carry ing on the controversy. Many Of the statements made with reference to Ar kansas are incorrect or grossly exag- gerated. For instance. the statement has been made by some authority in Washington that federal ald is likely to be withdrawn from Arkansas be- cause the projects aided have not been maintained. The actual facts are that the projects cited by the government constitute only 2.23 per cent of the total mileage
 One of the bills, that prepared by the legislative committee of the Am { erican Association of State Highway officials, provides that the s;a;es must match dollar for dollar the money given by the government and that the federal aid must be spent on state and interstate trunk lines ana nor on lat erals. It is also provided by all bills pending in Congress that thsre must be provision for the adequate mainten- ance of state roads This is one of the features of road development in Arkansas which has not been at all times tak1n care of.
 The State Highway Departments of all the states are unanimously behind President Hardings demand for con- tinued federal cooperation with the building of highways. President Harding made the statement in his message that:
 fW:th the principle of federal par ticipation aeceptably established. pro- bably never to be abandoned, it is i'm p0rtant to exert Federal influence in d"~eloning comprehensive plans look ing to the promotion of commerce and ! apply our expenditures in the surest way to guarantee a public return for money expended.
 It is in keeping with this general policy that President Harding approv- ed the plans for systems of highways covering the entire country to be built by federal and state money
 The state highway officials are not so much concerned aH0ut who shall administer the duties, as tney are that , the government shah recognize the fact that it is as much a federal func- tion to cooperate with th2 states in road building as it is for the states to aid their minor subdivisions. We have passed the period in our national life when it should be necessary to prove that highways are arteries of trade of i national importance Our one con- cern should be to see that such 1egis- lation is enacted and enforced as well concerve the public funds, guard agaI- nst political abuses and sorve the com mon good. As the servants of the peo- pie who pay the taxes, whether thru state or federal funds, charged With

SEVEN ARE KILLED
 lN AgRPL.ANE CRASH Craft Is Wrecked in Terrific storm; All Aboard Lose LiYeS-TO Dr.
 der Investigation.

Washington, May 29-Seven men, five of the Army and two civilians. were killed in the wreck of an Army Cuftiss-kagle ambulance airplane near Indian Head, Md, 40 miles southeast of Washington, last night in terrific wind and electrical storm. Army Air Service officers said the accident was the worst ill the history of aviation in the United States, either military or civil, and that it was one of the few in which all of the passengers in falling plane were killed almost instantly.
 Victims MangIed.
 The ship struck tie ground nose first, and the force of the impact was so great that the big 400-horsepowerI Liberty motor in the front end of the craft was torn from it's bed and thrown back into the cockpit on ton of the pilot and the passengers. All of them badly mutilated
 The Curtiss-Eagle was returning from trip to Langley Field, near Newport News, Va, and had just crossed the Potomac river when it ran into the storm which had passed over Washington an hour before. The ex- act cause of the accident probably never will be known, as those in the machine were dead when witnesses from MOrgantown, little village near Indian Head, reached the scene.
 An official investigation of the ac- cident will be ordered At that inves- tigation it is possible an inquiry will be made into the general design and practical use by the Army of such a machine, the only one of it's type in the Army service. Air service officers said today that when the plane left Langley Field it was ap- parently ill perfect running condition and had been functioning properly during the several hours in the morn ing and afternoon. Captain DeLa- yerene, air attaGhe of the French embassy who made the trip in the Eagle from Washington, said tonight that in his opinion the ship was un- balanced
 Pilot an Expert.
 Brig. Gen. Mitchell, assistant chief of tho Army Air Service, who accom- panied the Eagle to Langley Field and who had an exciting battle with the storm during his return flight said Lieutenant Ames, piloting the Eagle, was considered one of the best pilots in the service and that his ship apparently was in perfect condition,
 Fell in Nose Dive.
 Apparently the motor either failed to respond or the high wind checked the ships flight, for it was seen to turn over and dive nose first. It then was only few hundred feet in the air.
 Mrs. Ames, wife of the pilot, was awaiting for her husband at the land ing field here, and when the report of the accident came she started for Morgantown in her automobile ar irving after midnight and remaining there through the night.
 The bodies of the dead were taken out of the plane by naval detach- ment and early today were started for to Washington.

CUTS MILLINERY BILL

of the latest fad in fashion this year
crepe paper hats.
This novel headdress made IFS ap-
pearance A few days ago at Central
High School and now scores of the
girls at the school are making them.
The now hat can be made for 80
cents and in any of the colors of the
rainbow. The paper is cut into
narrow strips and braided to give it
the appearance of straw. The rows
of braid are stitchsal together and
ornameuted with stTaanters or tas-
sells.
At distance on a sunny day the
finished product resembles new
straw hat. But old Jupiter Pluvius
will wreak havoc among those dainty
bonnets if he catches milady prone
