is 1854 miles as now located and under
construction. 1t connects Dale with
Huntingburg. Before the crooks and
grades were changed this road was 8.5
miles long, having many sharp turns and
grades as steep as 12,5 per cent, that is
the rise on one stretch of 800 feet was
37.5 feet; all exceedingly difficult and
dangerous to travel. At one point on
this same section for stretch Of 100
feet there was 10 per cent grade. These
grades have all been reduced to 6.5 per
cent and less, with two exceptions, which
are 8 per cent. The excavation on this
section amounts to 55,552 yards Of earth,
and is good illustration Of the normal
sections Of this route.
Section of the same Federal aid
project is between HaysvIlle and Crystal,
and is 6,S77 miles as now located and
under construction. Before construction
began this section was 95 miles, due to
curves and steep grades, some of which
were 20.5 per cent for 500 feet, and 9TH
ers 0 to 16 per cent for 100 to 800 feet.
These have been reduced to a maximum
Of I per cent and all curves eased or taken
out by relocations on entirely new right
Of way or by shifting center line to right
or left
In order to do this c. Gray, chief en-
gineer OF roads, says it has been neces-
sary to move 140345 yeards of earth and
rock and put in many small culverts.
These two projects are now nearly COM
pleted and when finished will lie sur
faced with stone or gravel. The aggre-
gate cost OF grading and structures is
approximately S24S00O, or about $4,000
per mile.

the future happiness OF both.

the Stevens heiress had parted.
The news, broken to him by the hand

brides departure for Reno, came as a
great surprise to the father. The broker
had no inklins Of any rift on the martial
horizon OF the young couple, but ac-
cepted the news phtlosophically and ex-
pressed the hope that it would turn out
for the best.

Accomplishment OF the first aim has
been under way since the park depart

results Development u the present
properties has progressed from year to
year with the idea of making them both
useful and pleasing % the eye. A number
Of new park and playground plots now
are being embelIi~hed with flowers,
trees. shrubhery and drives. Construction
If buildings which tit into the general
plan has been part of the progress.
Decoration Of grounds around public
buildings has been seriously undertaken
only within the last two years. In co.
operation with the board Of school COM
mis~iouers the park board has planted
public school grounds excessively. Con
siderable work remains TO be done around
some az the engine houses. but many
have been improved. So far the park de-
plrtment has not lad hand IN working
over the courthouse grounds, which IS
easily reco gnized when one looks az the
heller skelter appearance OF the place.
The statrhousn buildings and grounds
committee in tie last two years has
called upon the park department to help
them in the rearrauEemeut Of the state
house lawn and definite plan which
slowly IS being carried out has been
evolved. Uncle sam even has consented
to let the city help dress him up. by
identifying the Federal building grounds
This summer panels of flowers have been
planted q front.of tie structure. These

The only ore of the three activities

$500 MILES OF

OVER BY STATE
Engineers Find Much Work to
Be Done on Hills in South
ern Counties.

The Indiana State highway commits
sion has taken over approximately 5000
miles of improved and unimproyed roads
since April 1, 1920, and in some local.
ties, particularly the southern part of
the State, where the topography is rough
and billy, and roads follow the ridges
and valleys, have found the routes very
crooked and with exceedingly steep
grades, necessjtating much work to build
modern highways, Lawrence Lyons, di-
rector, said today.
State road No. T. from Evansville to
French Lick, is very typical of these
southern Indiana roads, and Federal aid
project No 16, now under contract for
grading and structures, gives one a good
idea Of the work involved and the cost
necessary to build a good highway along
this route. Mr. Lyons pointed out.

TOLEDO. Ohio. July 4-when the
Rev. Grant speer, pastor Of Central
Christian Church. one Of the most pros
porous congregations in this city, WAS
accused by another preacher Of immor-
atty and uam.nisterial conduct a con
troversy was started which has excited
not only the City. but the whole State
The Rev. Nj Speer's congregation has
lined up behind him and takes issue with
the Ohio Christian Missionary Society
which pressed the Investigation against
the pastor.
When the Rev s. NJ Cook Of Bowling
Green, secretary of the society, directed
a certain letter u three women members
of the Central Christian Church i'm which
IL was charged that Speer had been found
guilty Of Immortality and uEministerial
conduct and that the church had been
advised 70 der0Se him as pastor, Dr
Speer retaliated by bringing action for
libel IN the Common Pleas Court against
the author Of the letter

Speer said. He added Il want my fell

To the charges IN the letter the Rev.
Mr. Speer says:
"Forbearance has ceased to be virtue
and when the welfare OF my church is

longer compelled 20 turn the other cheek.
You have no idea with what reluctance
I go into court. Nothing would be
