Charges That Former Spouse Did Not Die
 Natural Death.

Stockbridge, Mass. Nov. 13.- A sensation was caused here to- day by the accusation of Mrs. Millie Hanna, fourth divorced wife of Dan R. Hanna, that Hanna had not died natural death and thas=she. would pro- duoe evidence sufficient to justify the autharities in exhuming the body and starting an investiga- tion.
 The millions left by the much married Hanna, who was a son Ot the late Mark A. Hanna, will in all probability be the cause of long litigation.

championship of the United States and
Canada, having won the title in open
competition.
The feature of his work at the traps
has not been the averages made by
him in single years, but his consist
emily good work over a stretch Of
years. He has led the professional
trapshOoters twice, averaging better
than 81 per cent on those occasions,
and never has he fallen below.
Some years ago he broke 565 straight
targets in one tournament, which still
stands as a worlds record for one
shoot. Last year he shot at more
than 1000 targets ard averaged 1868.
He won the Hazard doubles target tro-
ply, emblematlc of the worlds cham
pionship, and created a new worlds
record in winning the title. He broke
81 straight targets in one shoot, the
best mark of the year; in fact he
broke 410 straight in that shoot, but
the other 90 were from 10 yards and
were not registered; therefore, his 81
stands as the record.

MORE GOOD ROADS BIG NEED
VIII Increase Growing Popularity Of
Automobiles and Help Build
Up Communities.

To determine the average mileage
the automobile owner covers in a
pleasure trip in the evening after
the days work is over, an investiga-
ton among $50 owners in a middle
western city of around 100000 popu-
lation resulted in an average of 8s
miles, Sixty-twO per cent stated they
would make longer trips If the roads
permitted, SO per cent stated they usu-
ally made their trips out into the
country.
From these figures It is easy to
see that more good roads will In
crease the growing popularity Of the
automobile, which will IN turn, help
to build up communities, relieving
congestion In the crowded cities, Gre
ate wider circulation of money, in
crease realty values, lower transpOr-
tatlon costs and introduce America

labor. The army of laborers which we
expected to apply for the work did
not, however, materialize. On the
contrary, there was a distinct shortage
of labor, and wages reached the high
est levels attained in the history Of
the country. In 1917, competent labor
could be secured for from $3.50 to SO
per day, but the corresponding wages
in 1920 were from So to So for short
er days work.
In proportion to this demand there
was also a pronounced scarcity of con-
struction materials. Sand, gravel,
stone and cement, and materials COM
monty used in road work increased in
price between 1917 and 1920 from 90
to 100 per cent. Naturally, these In
creases In cost were reflected in the
prices paid to contractors for road
work. Gravel roads increased from
$4,535 to $7,25O per mile; concrete
from $21,16 to upward of $4,000 per
mile, and brick roads from $4,000 to
$4,000 per mile.
As funds available for road con-
structlOn are largely limited by statute,
or by the returns from taxation,
majority Of the states this year have
deliberately withheld work, the plans
for which had been completed, until
they could obtain a greater return for
their expenditure.
