cannot produce and file for record
the certificatiOn of a reputable ply
stefan that he has been subjected to
physical examination and found to
be from communicable sex disease.
The new law is designed to be less
protective OF wives than the Off
spring resulting from martial asso-
ciation-fundamentally Is intended
insofar as practicable. to give to ev-
cry child hereafter born in Wyoming
the birthright Of freedom physically
from the 'sins OF the fathers" AS
originally drawn the bill for the act
provided that women also submit to
examination and provide certifica-
ton OF helath. but this provision
was eliminated by amendment-just
why never was clearly explained. but
partly because one physician legisla-
tor supporting the bill stated that
women we're less subject than men
to communicable venereal diseases.
The amendments result Is that the
eugenics act Is only half an eugen-
les act. and Wyoming women in this
instance. at least, have been shield
ed from the absolute equality with
men which Is guaranteed them by
the state constitution.

NEW LAW IN EFFECT

ever today in Wyoming a marriage
license is being applied for a new
question is being asked the prospect
i've bridegroom, a question fraught
with significance not only for the
present. but for future generations
'Have you a physicians certificate?"
A negative answer means denial
of legal sanction OF the proposed
mating--that the male applicant
either must procure the required
certi:ication that he is not suffer-

he and the woman who has agreed
to become his wife-and potentially
the mother Of his children-must
change their plans.

q, OOO, 900 AVAILABLE DAILY

Washington, d. c., May 24-Ap-
p~roximately $4,000. 900 is available
very working day during the pres
ent year for expenditure upon high
ways OF the United States, according
TO a statement Of Professor G. J.
Tilden, director Of the Highway and
Highway Transport Education Com
mittee.
The actual sum available from
state and county bond issues and
federal aid for the year Is $780,
100000. a sum fifty per cent greater
than the total cost of the Panama
Canal. according to figures obtained
from the Bureau OF Public Roads.
This point was made by Professor
Tilden in stressing the need for more
courses in highway construction and
economics In college and Universities
To spend this amount wisely, he said,
would require. the services OF more
than 10000 trained highway engi-
neers. At this time. universities are
graduating only about 1000 civil en-
gineers annually. OF whom only a
small percentage turn to highway
construction.
Through the agency Of the COM
mittee OF which he is director, Prof.
essor Tilden is endeavoring to per-
suade institutions OF higher learn
ing to include courses In highway
economics in their regular curricu-
lums. Professor Tilden occupies the
chair Of engineering mechanics at
Yale University, but 1t on leave as
director OF the committee.
Another and more popular cam
paign is bein undertaken by the COM
mite" by means OF a national essay
contest among high school pupils on
the subject Good Roads and High
way Transport" Several hundred
letters OF inquiry are received daily
from all sections OF the country. Ev-
en- the island possessions and the ter
ritories are seeking information on
the contest.
News Of the contest has been con-
veyed to the pupils by their teachers
and school superintendent in re-
Spouse to an announcement sent out
by DR.. p. P. Claxton, United States
Commissioner OF Education. who is
chairman Of the highway transport
committee. Essays must be not more
than 500 words in length and must
be in the hands Of local committees
not later than June Is, when the con-
test closes. Only pupils of high school
grade are entitled to compete. Vir-
tually all state superintendent, are
naming state committees to award
state hOnors and prizes, and are an

Commissioner Claxton will name the

DEEPEN
WATERS OF DARE
The "Currituck" Digs 10000 Gu
bic Yards Day at Roam
oke Island.

If one would see a working gang, a
visit to the .. S. Engineer Department
Dredge "Currituck' at Roanoke Island
will make him think the war was never
begun. The Currituck has a crew of
63 men and in "a hours can dig 10000
cubic yards of sand, or enough to cover
80 acre farm a foot deep. In nine
days the plant has deepened a channel
from 10 to - feet, a length of mile
and a quarter, and 200 feet in width.
When completed this will unite the
waters of Albemarle and Pamlico
Sounds with 12-foot channel leading
all the way from Norfolk to Beaufort.
The Currituck came on this job dur
ing the first of the month after having
finished a two years job near Beaufort
on the Adams and Core Greeks canal.
At this place two rivers were joined
together and approximately 100000
cubic yards of sand were removed. The
Currituck worked 65 men in crew and
kept a, survey party of 10 going strong.
In addition So men were kept busy
building dikes to keep sand and silt from
running back off the land into the canal.
was completed August 8, 1921 =
The Currituck was built in Baltimore
in 1914 by the Ellicot Machine Corpor-
alton, and on completion was placed on
the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal
between Norfolk and Albemarle Sound.
This boat is $50 feet long by 81 feet
beam and has a mean draft of six feet.
It's main engines develop 800 horsepow-
er, driving 12-foot, centrifugal pump
which sucks the sand from the bottom
and drives it thru a 2O-inch pipe line
to "a safe distance from the channel.
The Currituck weighs over 800 tons.
One of the Currituck's jobs was on the
eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay where
foundations were built for the fortif-
cations at Fisheman's Island.
The Currituck's master is Capt. D
T. Aldredge of Baltimore. His men
say he is ''An Dredge." Having worked
up from the ranks he knows the ropes
for he began as levermal and hasn't
gotten away from it, for he dons his
everalls with the rest.
