COURSE in ROAD
CONSTRUCTION is
OFFERED BY SCHOOL

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept 3d.
Sensing the need for road building
experts in the wake of the Minnesota
program for the building of @ trunk
highway system. throughout the en-
tire state, the Dunwoody Industrial
Institute has added a course in road
construction to it's curriculum. The
course is three years in length. aftel
which the graduate can lay claim to
being a road expert.
Men taking the instruction. are
taught surveying drainage systems
and contours, compositions of roads
and cement, laying Of the base and
drafting.
School classes are conducted dur
ing the fall. winter and spring. and
the men are required to obtain prac-
teal work with contractors during
the summer months.
According to DR.. G.. A. Prosser, di-
rector of Dunwoody, there is an urg-
ent need for efficient road building
experts, especially since the state has
begun a huge road-buildfng program.
Unlike other states, Minnesota has
road problems more serious han ter
Htory farther south, because of elm
attic conditions, and in view OF this.
the training Of specially qualified road
constructors rs a necessity. DR.. Pros
winter with its heavy SHOWS and
Summer with plentiful precipitation
raise a. havoc with ordinary roads
he said. which make more necessary

CLOSER STUDY OF
INDIAN MOUNDS is
NOW BEING MADE

East St. Louis, I'LL, Sept. 30
Smaller groups Of the Cahokia Indian
mounda four miles north Of here, are
being opened and studied in an effort,
to gain, more definite information
about the prehistoric Mound Builders
than hitherto has been obtained.
Scientific research work on the
mounds has been. started by ". K.
Moorhead, archaeologist,,who was APP
pointed by, the Illinois State Museum
t o make the study. "A number of ex-
service n en0 from Massachusetts, are
assisting nv.DMoorhead in e~xcavating
and, tunneling the mounds.
Mr.. Mdorhead, explaining the un-
dertaking, said:s
Our purpose is to study skeletons
and relics which we hope to find in
the mounds. These will enable US to
classify the period Of civilization and
development of the Mound Builders.
Careful excavations OF village sites
sites and burial grounds will be made
to obtain skeletons and relics.
IA skeleton of the Cahokia people
has not yet been obtained. II we are
successful enough to find any, DR..
Alec Hardlicka OF the Smithsonian In
stitutes will study it and might be able
to reconstruct the physical type of
the Cahokia people.
"Preliminary examination Of the
Cahokia region. seemingly indicates
that there are eighty or more mounds
in the group and not 81 as previouely
stated. The region needs a new sur
vey and Clinton Cowan. formerly city
surveyor Of Cincinnati and lately
highway commissioner Of Ohio, has
promised to mar he mounds"
The scientist is a member of the
