High praise was given the work
of the Georgia state highway depart
ment by Thomas H. Mcdonald, chief
of the bureau of roads of the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture,
in his address Wednesday evening
to members of the Georgia legisla-
ture assembled at a dinner in the
Kimball Mouse breakfast room, as
guests of the Georgia State Automo-
bile association.
The association has been giving a
dinner to members of the Legislature
during every session for several
years, and the one Wednesday night
was attended by a record number.

tive Morton Turner, chairman of the
highway committee of the house !;
Senator r. c. Ellis, chairman of the

AS chief Of the bureau of roads in
Washington, Mr.. Mcdonald is at the
head of the distribution of federal
aid for highway construction. The
funds appropriated by congress for
that purpose are disbursed through
his bureau under rules and regula-
tions formulated by him. He is in
development of highways and state
highway systems, particularly as re-
lated to the federal aid fund, than
any other man in the United States.
Members of the legislature, there
fore, listened TO him as one who
spoke with authority.

Postal Thief King
Captured in Boston
After Clever Career

BOSTON.-After being trailed for
months by bank detectives in many
cities, Romeo S. Duran. a dapper
French Canadian of twenty-four,
with many aliases, the police say,
has been arrested here. Authorities
declare him to be the cleverest mall
box check thief in the country. 1t
is estimated that he has cashed
$4,000 in checks stolen from the
mails in this city during recent
weeks.
The police are communicating with
other cities in the belief that even
more extensive operations will be
disclosed. He was occupying lux
urious apartment when arrested.
Police charge that Duran took let
ters from the mail boxes of dwelling
and apartment houses and rif1ed them
of negotiable paper. Duran then
would open accounts under the
names of his victims in local banks
and deposit cash.
Later the negotiable paper would
be deposited. Against the total
amount the man would then draw I'M
til the sum was reduced to 81 or IS.
Through this method, it is said,
Duran had accounts under many
names in many banks Of greater

News and Gossip
OF the Assembly

After a lengthy session, during
which extended arguments were
heard on both sides of the issue, the
house committee on labor and labor
statistics on Tuesday afternoon de-
cided to hold in allegiance it's de-
vision on a Eill by Representative
Valentino, of Chatham, limiting the
hours of work for women to fifty
per week. Certain amendments are to
be appended, it is understood, and
for this purpose the committee de-
ferred action.
Representatives of the State Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs. the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union,
the Georgia League of Women Voters
and the State Federation of Labor
appeared in behalf of the bill. The
opposition was represented by the
Georgia Cotton Manufacturers as
ISOLATION, the Georgia Manufactur-
ers' association and other oganiza-
tons.
Speaking for the measure were
REPRESENTATIVE Valentino, Mrs.
Haynes McFadden, Mrs. Elliott

Refusing to approve a bill by Rep
resentative Bentley, Of Fulton, to
prohibit persons from practlc1ng law
unless formally admitted to the bar,
the general judiciary committee OF
the house on Tuesday went on rec
ord as condemning a proposal to
make violations Of the present law
a misdemeanor. The present statute
says that no person shall practice
law unless he has been admitted to
the bar, but provides no penalty fof
violation. The Bentley bill makes the
penalty a misdemeanor punishment.
"Robbing Peter to pay Paul was
exemplified by the senate on Tues
day, when, after debating the ques-
ton for twenty-siX minutes, that
body voted to extend the days SEES
sion thirty minutes, thereby gaining
a margin of four minutes in which
to transact additional business. An
effort was made to extend the SeS-
sion until 2 O'Clock for the purpose
of clearing the calendar as lar as
possible. The proposal met with con-
siderable opposition, while many SEN
ators had counter propositions to
offer. The upshot of the whole dis
cussion was to gain exactly four
minutes.
General judiciary committee, No. /,
of the house, on Tuesday afternoon
approved a bill, previously passed by
the senate, to increase the cost OF
appealing cases to the court or APP
peaIs and supreme court from $40
to SIS.
The same committee approved a
bill by Mr. Mason of Hart to amend
the pony homestead law, and dlsap-
proved a bill by the Chatham dele
cation to make a wife's earnings her
sole and exclusive property, as
against the claims of her husband
The committee also disapproved Dill
to make it a misdemeanor for persons
to practice law without first having
been admitted to the bar.
