LINCOLN HIGHWAY
HUGE INVESTMENT

Association.
Association.

As an indication Of the development
of public sentiment for better roads
in the United States, the success Of
the Lincoln highway endeavor Is In
spring. Consider for a moment that
the expenditures made to date upon
this thoroughfare represent in i'm
provement the equivalent of approx
mately $4,000 per mile upon the en-
Golden Gate. OF course, the money
expended and the results accomplish
ed have not been thus equitably dis
tributed. Certain sections Of this
great thoroughfare have received the
highest type Of improvement. particu-
larly in the east. costing many times
this much per mile to complete. Other
sections, particularly in the great
states Of the west, where long road
mileages and sparse population are
responsible for almost insurmount-
able difficulties in the way OF high
way improvement. have received rela-
lively little in the way of actual
monetary investment in their i'm
provement. 1t can be said with ma
tional pride. however, that some def
mite action has been taken to bring
about the betterment of practically
every mile of Lincoln highway be-
tween the two oceans.

State Police Aid to Road REGULATIONS.
Great Progress in System Being
Made.

IN a recent address before the
Automobile Club of Maryland, Chair
man J. N. Mackall Of the state. roads
commission explained the new
methods of posting the highways of
Maryland. This work is now
nearing completion. and will inure
to the immediate benefit of tho
tourist. Mr.. Mackalrs address fol-
lows:
For many years Maryland has
been properly considered one of the
best, II not the best, roaded state in
the Union. Its roads have been we'll
constructed: wide enough for traffic
dema nded; and maintained in perfect
condition at all times. Last winter
the removal of snow from the arteriaI
highways was started, thus making
these roads available for through
traffic at all times. and SO. as far as
there was little to be desired.
Maryland's Progress.
with the organization of the state
police last winter, Maryland is rapidly
becoming one of the leading states
IN the Union for road regulation. but
still our roads are not rendering the
maximum service because they have
not been marked so that the traveller
can go wherever he wants without
the aid of lamps and numerous stops
to acquire Information or misinforma-
tion. depending upon the person he
interviews.
I'm view Of having the roads render
q maximum service to the public, the
state roads commission has looked
into the question af marking the state
highways. and they found that this
can be done at very reasonable
price. Arrangements are complete
and the contract let for the marking

INDIAN MARRIAGE CUSTOM


 According to c. w. Darwin, game warden for the State of Washington, the time-honored fashion for Yakima Indian brides to wear buckskin leg gings has reduced the number of deer in the Cascade Mountains in alarming proportions.
 MT. Darwin has investigated and found that there are now an average of one hundred weddings each year in the Yakima tribe. In and out of season deer have dwindled rapidly in that part of the State where Yakima Indians range and fish and hunt, for tradition requires three deerskins to make the proper kind of leggings for belle of the tribe who is about to wed. The game warden intends to enter into conference with the big chiefs in order to induce the Indians to change their custom from the use of deerskins to shark skins or cloth. It is reported that when deer can not be found on the reservation the Indians go into the surrounding coun- try and drive them back to their own lands.
 The custom of the Yakima Indians is one followed by other Pacific coast tribes. The bride is supposed to wear the wedding leggings until they are worn out. To wear them long time is an omen of happiness and prosperi- ty in the home.
