Virginia People
Paying Terrific Indirect Tax
on Account of Bad Roads.

Richmond, Feb. 5.-virginia
people are paying a terrific midi.
rect tax every year because OF
the mud roads throughout the
state. This was one of the tell.
ing statements made by Senator
Carter Glass in an address which
he delivered. at the tenth annual
convention OF the Virginia Good
Roads Association held last week
IN Roanoke and attended by 500
good roads advocates from ali
sections.
Senator Glass declared that
the people of the state we're los
ing millions annually in the form
OF a mud tax" although they
did not realize it because the
money did not come directly
from their pockets. lie stated
that 1t would be far better to
pay for good roads and put an
end to this direct loss and also
aid IN the great development to
the state which would result
from better highways.
The issuance OF bonds By the
state for highway construction
and maintenance was heartily
approved by Senator Glass in his
address. He told the convention
delegates that roads cost great
deal and large amount was
necessary TO build them us rap
idly as they should be construct
ed. This was not possible with
revenue and the issuance
Of bonds would be the best kind
OF business Investment, he said.

TEACHERS
TO TEACH HEALTH
Health Commissioners De-
scribes Course That Will
Fit Teachers to Com
ply With West
Law.

Richmond, Feb. 80 enable
the teachers Of the Virginia pub.
lie schools to acquire the infor-
nation necessary for compliance
with The West Act which pro
yides for the physical inspection
of pupils and the teaching Of
school hygiene, the State Board
of Health has, in collaboration
with the department of edrca-
ton, established correspon-
dencc course in these subjects !;
and already nearly a hundred
teachers have enrolled for the
instruction.
50 many inquiries have come
to the health department that
the commissioner has thought it
wise to issue 4 brief statement
about the course and the reasons
for its establishment.
The course of lessons offers
free of charge method of OBJ |
tanning certain practical infor
nation without which no teach |
cr can, after 1925, receive a Ger |
lllicate TO teach in tile public
schools Of Nirginia. 1t consists |
Of twelve lessons in physical in
spection of school children, con
troll of communicable diseases
personal hygiene and first aid to |
the injured. That the course |
will make any teacher practi |
cal expert in any one Of the top |
les is not to be hoped but on
the other hand no teacher can
take the lessons and pass The ex
without having gain
ed information which will be
valuable TO her and, if applied,
profitable TO her classes.
There are now about 1000
teachers in the public school sys-
tenn and if the present rate of
attendance at the summer and
winter schools continues these
teachers could not, all Of them, |
be reached within the next four
years. Consequently something
had to be done for the teachers
who cannot or do not attend |
these schools; otherwise, they |
would not be able to secure a
teachers certificate for 1925 or
thereafter The state health
commissioner and the state SUI
perintcndent of public instruc-
ton are hopeful that this meth
cd Of teaching by correspondence
may solve what otherwise would
have been an insoluble problem.

Kingsport Man
Killed Here

- 81 ""' Ni''St ~ NhS oNl WI
the pike Sunday afternoon at 3
O'Clock by shots being fired from
a passing automobile, and Henry
Bass, Of Appalachia, who oper-
ates passenger ear, was placed
under arrest charged with the
killing.
Xix was found in a dying con
dition by the side of the road
and was placed in ear and
brought to the office of Drs.
Painter and Baker ut this place,
but only lived about five min
utes after arriving here. He had
been visiting two nephcws at
lmboden and was on his way to
lrondale to visit other relatives
before returning to his home at
Kingsport Monday afternoon.
Passengers i'll the car that the
shots were fired from state that
Bass was drunk and wanted 10
"empty his gunn and commenc-
ed to shoot ut random, firing four
or five shots, and as they passed
Xix he was hit by one of the
bullets. 1t was revealed at the
coroner's inquest that one bullet
entered the left side and passed
entirely through the body. Hix
being stranger here was some
time before his identity was
established.
The passengers in The car were
Judge and Silas Collier, Robert
Quinley, Shorty Dinsmore,
S. p. and Raymond Pennington,
Of StoneSa, and woman by the
name Of BELL IIensley, of Norton,
all of whom were placed under
arrest and brought here together
with Bass, except the woman
who managed to get away. All
the passengers were questioned
before Justice w n. Breeding,
who conducted the inquest, and
it was stated that the party had
left Stonega about Q 30 O'Clock
for Norton. After remaining
there for 4 short while they went
TO Ramsey to get some whiskey|
but failed TO get any. Returning
to Norton the Hensley woman
was picked up and the party
started on their return trip via
East Stone Gap, where they Sc
cured three pints of whiskey.
The witnesses were very seluc-
tant to give testimony leading to
the purchase of the whiskey and
it was only after close question
ing by the jurymen that they did
so. Most of them testified that
the "moonshine" was bargained
for in East Stone Gap with Ham
Tate, who stated that he did not
have any with him, but would
get it and meet them near the
Southern depot at Big Stone Gap
if they would drive slow. Ac-
cordingly these arrangements
were carried out and the pur-
chase was made just east of the
Southern depot by one Of the
Pennington boys, paying $1,000
for three pints of whiskey.
After this the party drove to
town and around to the wooded
section above Glencoe cemetery,
where the whiskey was skilled"
as they expressed it, and by this
time they were ready to return
home all being under the inilu-
ence of whiskey.

County Roads
Must be Maintained if State
Aid is Given.

county roads, counties are TO be
required to make adequate pro
vision for the maintenance OF
the roads after they are con
strrcted, according to n resolu-
ton which was unanimously
adopted at the tenth annual con
vention of the Virginia Good
Roads Association.
Realizing the additional ex-
pense to the counties, the Good
Roads Association stands behind
the highway department III its
recommendation that state aid
for the counties be increased.
The last appropriation was 500
600. Both the highway depart
ment and the Virginia Good
Roads Association now favor 81
900, 900 for state aid in 1922,
81, $50, 900 in 1928 and 81, 800, !
900 in 1924. 1t is also proposed
that the state bear 30 per cent.
of the cost Of maintaining the
county roads built under the
state aid plan.
Blythe terms Of the resolution,
the General Assembly at its next
session will be urged TO amend
the State Aid Road Act to put
these provisions into operation.
Good roads advocates are Of the
opinion that if adopted they will
put an end TO the neglect Of
roads after their construction
and the existence of stretches Of
mud road which now intervene
between improved sections.
Approval of the recommenda-
tions of the state highway com
missioner that the state take ov-
er the entire state highway sys-
tenn for maintenance is incorpor-
ated in another resolution adopt
ed at the convention. Under
existing laws the highway de-
partmcnt only has authority to
maintain certain sections OF the
system. The legisla-
ture will be asked to end this
piecc-meal maintenance by fix
ing responsibility on the high
way department for taking care
of tile entire $500 miles EN-
braced in the system. Adoption
of this resolution is considered
one of the most constructive
pieces of work done at the con
vention.
Virginia counties will also be
asked to cooperate with the
highway department in provid-
ing suitable detours around road
construction work on or affecting
the state highways according to
the provisions Of another resolu-
ton unanimously adopted. The
exact text of the resolution is ::
"Resolved, That the General AS
sembly be requested 10 authorize
the state highway commissioner
and the respective county road
authorities to cooperate in the
work and expense of providing
suitable dctours around road CON
struction work on or affecting
the state highways" AS point
ed out today by V. d. l.. Rob
inson, executive secretary of the

ton, adoption of such provis-
ion by the Legislature would
