SHOW PRISONERS MOVIES
INSTEAD OF PREACHING

Chicago. ILL.,. April e5.-That one mo-
ton picture showing normal people
cheerfully performing their tasks in
society is worth moro than a dozen
sermons when II comes to dealing with
ccnvicts. Is tho gist Of a statement
made to tho Society for Visual Educa-
ton by William Horton Fostor OF New
tion picture is tho greatest agent for
social service that has come into the
world in this generation.
The prisoncr at a picture show. sit

willing to put himself in as sympathet-
ic a state OF mind toTard you when
you stand UP and preach to him. His
antaGonism is one of the greatest prob
Ions in prison reform. and TO overcome
this antasonism there is no more per
suasive agency than motion pictures. !"
Pictures of normal, everyday life

ter. Use pictures which present sane,

.TRUANTS keep
EYES ON CARS
Hockey Dangerous In seattle Since
They MotortDed Attendance
OfficcrA

Ask any kid in Seattle who has =
tendency to play hockey once in a
while and he will toll you that he al
ways keeps a sharp lookout for Dodge
Brothers touring cars and roadsters.
Reason-thIs is the type Of car used
by tho eight attendance ofncers Of the
Seattle school board, who scour the
city constantly for symptoms of ju-
venile delinquency.
Moro than once ono OF these cars has
pulled alongside tho curb or glided up
to the swimmin' hole to tho great dis
may of tho youngster who had re-
matned out of school to attend mis-
grandmothcr's funeral. Out popped the
truant officer and before Johnny could
movc he was under cross-examina-
ton.
Now tho Seattle school board has
made it little easier for Johnny by
giving him a reasonable chance to
duck. The board has ordered that
cars used by attendance onicers be
plainly lettered in conformity with tho
style OF lettering on all other cars
owned by the school district When
this action was proposed It brought
forth a sharp and insistcnt protest by
ono of the school omcials. The objec-
tion was reported by a Seattle paper
as follows:
Mr.. Fleming said In his communi-
cation of protest that as Dodge Broth
ers cars arc used exclusively by the
department. and Dodge Brothers car
is instantly tho object OF suspicion on
/ the part of tho Juvenile population of
community To make them more con-
spicuous by lettering would be merely
adding to tho troubles of an ovcrbur-
dened and unappreciative public ser
want. But the protest was ovcrrulcd" :"

REMOVING SNOW FROM ROADS
Becoming Increasingly Important Be- cause of Large Amount of Travel
 During Winter.

Snow removal from highways is be- coming increasingly important bs- cause of the large amount of travel by motortrucks and automobiles. Sev- eral states have made appropriations for removal of snow from the msan highways but in other states there has been no appropriation of funds for this purpose. Vast quantities of com- modities must be hauled over the high ways next winter because of the lack of sufficient railway cars to move them, and state money, rather than local funds ought to be used to keep truck highways open.

A desoIate homecoming.
(TO BE CoNTINUED.)
Grateful Carlo.

In Kentucky three men were shot to death in a fight about a dog which one of them had killed. Some men never live long enough to learn that when a dog becomes personal prop erty the tie of pride and affection makes the animal serious proposi. tion to be trifed with, and that many men were born to love dogs. This re- minds us that in the happy days of boyhood our most faithful and de- voted friend was an old pointer named Carlo. Never did we eat a lunch out of doors without sharing it with the devoted Carlo, and that noble and loving dog invariably manifested his gratitude by shaking himself wig orously and letting us in reciprocal way have about 50 per cent of his most active fieas.-New Orleans States.

 "And that was why you said no? You came back to explain? It wasn't because you disliked me, then? Be cause you despised me for doing such a thing?"

IMMENSE SUM FOR HIGHWAYS

 ways and Bridges.

During the calendar year 1919, 46 states of the Union expended over S400,000,000 on their rural roads and bridges, the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agri- culture recently announced. This to- tai is made up of the actual cash ex- penditures for such items as labor. materials, supervision and administra- ton, amounting to S3S9, ,455 ,931, and convict labor and statute labor, the value of which, not definitely known, Is estimated at about 100000.

TREES DO NOT INJURE ROADS
Instead of Taking All Out It Would Be Better to Thin Out to
 50 or 75 Feet.

Why cut down all trees along the highway being graded? We recently saw two or three dozen large naples along a road taken out entirely. It would look much better and be as usable if the row had been thinned to 50 or even 75 feet. If the road were well made the trees would not injure it at all Let's have some shade on our new roads.-LeRoy Cady. as. sociate horticulturist, University Farm. St. Paul.

IMPROVED ROADS WOULD AID
Many Counties Rich in Agricultural Possibilities Are Burdened
 With Poor Roads.

Fluctuations in market prices may have several explanations. They fre- quently take place in regions where the local production does not equal the annual consumption. There are counties rich in agricultural possibil- ities, burdened with bad roads, where the annual incoming shipments of foodstuffs exceed the outgoing ship ments in the ratio of four to one. Many such counties with improved roads could not only become self-sup- porting, but could ship products to other markets.

and cities and all items of sinking-fun& payments or the redemption and inter- est payments on road and bridge bonds have been excluded.
 The road and bridge expenditures for 1919 show an increase of approxi- mately 33 1-3 per cent over those of 1918 and 70 per cent over those of 1914. More striking, however, is the increase in the proportion of the total funds supervised by the several state highway departments. Tn 1918 the ex- penditures by or under the supervision of the state highway departments amounted to $117, ,285, ,268, while the local road funds, over which they exer- cised no control whatever, amounted to S168, 8,812,925. In 1919, however, the state highway departments supervised the expenditure of $2OO, O,292, ,694 as against the total of $189, 163. .237 ex- pended by the local road and bridge authorities.
