lessening unemployment in this State.

fore Congress so that money will be
made available for highway construc-
tion. 1t was explained to officials at
the Department of Labor that Della
wares share of the money appropriated
by the Federal Congress to aid the
State in road construction is pitably
small. This matter will be brought to
the attention Of the proper authorities
with a view to have the system OF
apportionment changed 90 that the
Diamond State will get more liberal
consideration.
The plan to rush road building is be-
lieved by Secretary Davis. of the De-
partment of Labor, not only to be ad-
visable but necessary. Many thousands
of men can be absorbed in such work
and it will be Of character that will
add to the material wealth of the

tributed to the cause.
In any case. preparation for the oc

chance to motivate class work, and the
more that is made out of that posi-.
bility, the better contribution his
school will be able to make.

drawn to the order of W. D. Denney,
