COMPLETION OF ~ MILES OF
ROAD CONTINGENT ON Ac-
TON OF COUNTY BOARD.
WOULD COST COUNTY LITTLE
Is Said to be First County In Which
State Highway Commission has
Assumed Control of the Roads.

Hickory that the state
highway commission had approved the
road project from Burke county line
to Newton, a distance of about IL
miles, subject to action by the Cataw-
ba county authorities guaranteeing in
rerest on money necessary to build
that part of the highway unfinished by
an appropriation of $125,00O by the
state, was received here with great
deal of interest and a determination
to see that the conditions are met.
The amount Of interest, should the
state not be able to make another ap-
preparation at the expiration Of the
time required to build the hard sur
face road, would be about $500 a
year for not more than two years.
Announcement is also made that the
whole of the Central highway from
the Burke county line to Iredell coun-
ty, the Newton-Lincolnton road to Lin
coin county and the Hickory-Blowing
Rock road from Hickory to the Cataw-
ba river have been taken over by the
state to be maintained. Engineer Ho-
cult is already here working up his
organization. This is said to be the
first county in which the state high
way commission has assumed control
Of the roads.

The speech of Rear Admiral William
S. Sims, commander of the American
naval forces overseas during the world
war, has created a situation of great
delicacy," in the opinion of Secretary
of the Navy DENLY.
The United States recently proposed
to the Mexican people that the two ma
tions enter into treaty of commerce
and amity such as will stabilize their
relations and terminate the protracted
period Of mutual distrust. The treaty,
now the subject of negotiations be-
tween the two government, would en-.
body assurance by Mexico to safe
guard American property rights, estab-
lish a claims commission to settle
losses of life and property, provide for
finally, would include conventional
stipulations as to commerce and recip-
rocal rights in both countries.
The Supreme court has been asked
whether the increases in intrastate
rates, ordered by the interstate COM
perce commission, are valid. Forty
two states claim that the commission
and congress are invading the rights
of the states when they seek to regu-
late all rates within the states. The
Supreme court will hand down a decf-
sion anent this contention and then
recess until next October.
The federal government, by dec1-
sion of the Supreme court, lost an i'm
portant tax suit affecting thousands
of estates in all parts of the country.
Executors of estates can deduct from
their income tax returns the amounts
paid in federal estate taxes. A large
amount of taxes must be refunded as
the result of the decision.
The United States Steel corporation
and it's eleven subsidiaries have filed
with the federal trade commission an
answer to the commissions complaint
of last April, in which unfair compe-
titiOn in interstate commerce was al
legged. The case will now go to trial
on it's merits before the commission,
which will determine whether an or.
der should be entered requiring the
companies to desist from the practices
complained on in the complaint. The
date of the trial will be fixed at an
early moment.
Another cut in the discount rates
of the federal reserve banks will very
probably be made this summer. The
financial situation generally looks so
favorable that a further general looN-
ening up of credits is assured.

I'VE were taking a troop train

in question might be permitted to see
his wife.

cigars! Rather peculiar thing to do
after leaving your wife and enlisting

Says Americans Avoid Sunlight.


One feature struck me In the schools,
and it also struck me in the hotels and
in private houses, and that is the
avoidance Of sunlight. A well-conduct-
ed window in America must have lace
curtains drawn across it, and two
blinds, II brown and one green,
pulled accurately halfway down.
Even in the great country houses,
where no one could look IN, and no
n look out without seeing spacious
lawns and flower beds, the curtains
are closed and the blinds are drawn
halfway down. Living In them is like
living in the house of an owner who is
half dead.
Tie electric light is all the time
turned on full. Even In the hotels II
you leave your DON for half an hour,
having raised your blinds, you will
find them carefully drawn down again
on returning. The large number of
folks-clerks in offices, workers in fac
tories, attendants on elevators, bell
boys and hotel clerks-who live their
life In artificial light forms a large
percentage Of the population, and this
absence Of outdoor life may account
to some extent for the pallid and sal
low complexion Of those who have to
endure 1t. It certainly cannot be
healthy.-Sir Arthur f. Shipley in the
Outlook.
