BAD SETBACK FOR
HIGHWAY MOVEMENT
Legislature Kills Bill Providing
For Appropriations a Cha0-
tic Outlook.

MADISON.-On the last day OF
the session the Wisconsin Legisla-
ture killed the highway appropria-
ton bill. This is the first time
since the organization of the Wis
consin highway department that the
legislature has refused TO make
the usual appropriation.
Unless the funds are later made
available the results will be disast-
rous.
The highway financing known
as 465-S, passed the Senate by an
overwhelming vote. 1t went to
third reading in the Assembly by a
good majority. On final passage,
however on the last day of the ses-
sion it was beaten, % members be-
ing absent.
The terms of the bill were widely
misunderstood. Many were under
the impression that the owner of a
motor vehicle would in addition TO
his license and personal property tax
pay a highway privilege tax of go.
The bill provided for the wiping out
of the personal property tax and in
stead substituting a go highway
privilege tax to go to the state high
way fund. AS the average personal
property tax rate is .023, it meant
the owner would pay. less rate. 1t
is the plan followed by Illinois and
Minnesota in financing their bond
issues.
While the local units would lose
the personal property tax this
would be far more than offset by
the fact that bill 465-S would wipe
out the general property state tax
for roads the county tax to meet
the federal aid would take care of
the maintenance and practically all
other elements.
It is feared the defeat of this bill
will result in a chaotic condition in
the state road program, The sum
of $2,5OO,O00 additional federal aid
will soon be forthcoming and the
state must meet it or lose it. The
legislature failed to make an ap-
propriataion to meet it. The re-
suit will be that this money will
be taken from the motor license fees
under the Trunk Highway Act of
1917 and there will be practically no
funds for the maintenance of the
state trunk highway system. This
means that this maintenance must
be abandoned or the counties raise
the funds to carry it on, approx
mating $2,5OO,0Os. 1t further means
that the counties will have to raise
100000, fifty per cent of the
federal and state aid allotted to
them, which requirement would
have been eliminated by bill 4e5-S.
All in all, the highway movement
in Wisconsin is facing gloomy out
lDok-just at time when the state
was attractin gthe attention of the
entire nation because of its good
roads.

RUBBER COVERING FOR LAMPS
Waterproof Bags Are Particularly
Servlceabie for Protection on
Rainy Days.

In the cities one frequently sees lit
tie rubber bags or covers on the head
lamps on rainy days. This is particu-
larry true where the vehicle is chauf-
feur driven, for that gentleman knows
the value Of keeping the water on
these lamps, If they are to look their
best In sunny weather. Why not take
q hint from the chauffeur and make or
have made for you couple Of water
proof bags to protect the lamps3 You
will find that they .'stay young" much
longer If so treated.

People become hot and thirsty
and drink bottle of some soft drink,
thinking that it is for the thirst, but
this is not true, in the mein.
When they become overheated they
become fatigued. 1t IS the call of the
body for stimulation which causes
their action.
Soft drinks contain a certain amount
of sugar. This sugar, through the
chemical action when placed in the
drink, becomes what we call invert
sugar, highly nourishing food.
Invest sugar needs no digestion. AS
soon as the drink reaches the stom-
ach the sugar is carried Immediately
into the blood and there is an instan-
tancous feeling of cxhilaration caused
by the food properties furnishing ad-
dtional energy.
Therein lies the value of soft
drinks. The sugar furnishes strength
to the body and invert sugar is the
Durest concentrated food known.
There is absolutely 10 waste, and it
is absorbed Immediately into the blood
without the body laborlng to digest it,.

No bad after effect.
There's none so good.

, Her veil of tulle fell from "a circlet of orange blossoms which held it to her hair. Her bouquet was of orchids, valley lilies and bride roses.
 She was met at the altar by the groom with his brother, Mir Ben Davis, Jr., who served him as best man. The mar riage service was performed by the Rev. J P. Waites.
 Immediately following the marriage an informal reception was held at the home of the brides parents for the two fam flies and the members of the bridal party
 The brides table was covered with ! cluny luncheon cloth over satin and was ecntered with a big white embossed cake. Candles in silver candlesticks lighted the table, the bonbons were in jonquil cups and a shower of ribbon fell from the chandelier over the center of the table
 The bride and groom left last evening for wedding trip to points in Florida and upon their return will make their home with the brides parents in Nor wood.
 Mrs Davis travelled ing a. suit of blue tricotine with gray hat and accessories to match.
 Both MT and Mrs. Davis have lived in Birmingham since childhood and have many friends. Mrs Harris is a. graduate of Montecello seminary in Illinois, and has been very popular in society. Mir Davis is a promising young business man.
