The bill, agreed upon by the conferees, carries $75, 100000 appro- priation, of which $25, ,O00 is to be available for distribution among the States as Federal aid in road con- struction when the bill becomes law and $50,0OO,00O six months later. In addition, $5,000, 900 is to be ,immediat- ely available for National Forest roads and $10,O00,000 more on July 1, 1922. "
 The Federal aid appropriation will be distributed and administered under the supervision of the Bureau of Pub lie Roads, United States Department of Agriculture. In continuing the op- eration of the plan the Government is taking step that should have far reaching effect in relieving the pres ent unemployment situation and in some States it will make possible the continued employment of men who otherwise would be thrown out of

PROGRESSO MINE IS NOW
 REGULAR SILVER PRODUCER

Douglas, Oct. 24.--A. Mcfarland, general manager of the Progresso Mining company, operating the Pro- gresso mine in the Ures district in Sonora, arrived in the city Saturday from the mine where he had been for two months, and was found in his of flee in the Gadsden hotel this morn ing. The Progresso mine is located 70 miles due south of Moctezuma and its product now goes out through Her mosillo, Sonora, where supplies for the camp are hauled back to the mine.
 MT. Mcfarland said that 90 men are now employed at the Progresso property and that from two to three shipments of silver bars per month were being sent out to the United States mint at San Francisco. The net returns from the bullion amounts to about one dollar per ounce on ac- count of the gold carried in the silver bars. -.
 The Progresso mine is now being operated steadily, but it is a small one, only being able to mill ore at the rate of 25 tons per day. The ore averages about 20 ounces in silver and about four dollars in gold to the tOn

work and thus swell the ranks of the idle.
 The Federal money is to be matched by funds under the direct control of the State highway department. When so matched-and in many cases the States have taken action and are simply awaiting the availability of the Government appropriation-it is es- timated that it will make possible road work which will give employ ment to from 3O0,OOO to S50,OOO men for 6 months distributed over the period required to spend the money. The estimate of employment includes men employed on actual construction and in addition men employed in pro- ducing and hauling materials.NU. s. Press.

WHY ONES TEETH "CHATTER"
Certain Set Of Muscles, Affected by the
Cold, Get to Work, Irrespective
of Will.

The little muscles which close the
jaw are acted upon by the colo In such
way that they pull the jaw up and
then let it fall by its own weight.
This, repeated many times, causes
the teeth to click together and produce
what we know as "chattering."
We think of 1t in connection with
our teeth because it is the teeth which
cake the sound, but the cause lies in
the muscles which we use in chewing
or in opening our mouth when we
speak.
The chattering occurs in spite of the
will or brain. We have little control
over it, and can stop it only by clench-
ing the teeth. 1t is really mild va
riety of spasm caused by the cold,
which acts on the jaw muscles in much
the same way that some poisons pro-
duce muscular spasms which cannot
be controlled.
