suit of the recent massage. or Inc led
eral highway act, it was stated. This
is the act which was recommended by
the presidents conference on unem-
ployment as an emergency measure TO
provide Jobs for the nations unem-
ployed.
The figures as to the amount OF
work which could be undertaken by
the states in the construction Of high
ways were supplied by the governors
in response to letters sent them by
Secretary Hoover, who is chairman OF
the conference. The letters asked
what amount of work they could get
under way within a period OF 80 days
after the passage of the act, Otto T..
Mallory, secretary of the public works
committee of the conference, an
nounced the sums which the states
could appropriate individually for
highways, together with the mileage
it would cover, and approximately the
number of workers to be employed for
the next five months on the undertak-
ings.
According to the act, which created
a fund of $75. 900 900 to be apportioned
among states taking advantage OF the
80 days period, each state will be en-
titled to receive, on the basis of the
value of it's work, its specified federal
allotment Part of this allotment is
available now and part will be avail
able January /. These amounts are
of course in addition to the allotments
received by states under the provi-
sions of former federal aid acts.
Estimates show that $4,000 will be
the average amount per mile expend'
ed by the states. When the work is
completed and approved by the fed
eral inspector, the state will receive
back from the government about $40,
600 per mile.
How this state undertaking will at
feet the general condition of unem'
plovment can be estimated from the
replies received here from governors.
Texas can employ 1880 workers on
IS. 900 900 bodybuilding job, covering
700 miles within the 80 days required
Georgia can provide 5000 men with
Jobs on a S5,0OO,00O undertaking, Gov

use $500 men; Michigan. $500; Ohio

Directly and indirectly, probably
200, 900 workers will be employed in

James B. McCord. engineer of the bu

that in addition to those directly en-
gagged in road building, there will be
large number indirectly set to wori

NATION WIDE
MOVE FOR ROADS
Slump in Construction to Be Re-
placed by Active Building
Campaign.
Unemployment Situation to Be Re-
iieved by Immediate Use Of
Great Appropriations.

Road building has recovered from
the setback received during the war,
and prospects are bright for the flu
ture. approximately $4,000 miles OF
road have been constructed during the
present season by the states in con-
junction with federal aid, according to
the bureau of public roads, United
States department of agriculture, and
probably an equal amount independ-
ent of federal aid. More miles OF I'M
proved road have been built than dur
ing any other year.
Costs Of road grading and construc-
ton with local materials is down prac-
tically to the 1914 level. Some reduc-
tons, also. have been made in freight
rates on road materials. The impor-
lance of this item is shown by the
fact that in some cases it has been
estimated that increased freight rates
have added 10 per cent to the COST OF
a road. Prices of manufactured road
materials tend downward; the present
level is materially lower than that OF
year ago.
With the new appropriation by con-
gress of $75,OOO,0O0. added impetus
will be given to new road construc'
ton. Many of the states are consid'
ering enlarged amounts of state aid,
and the new law will have a tendency
to encourage this policy. 1t will also
secure the construction of a system
of interstate and intercounty high
ways, rather than haphazard selection
of roads as in some cases in the past

PUULTRY CLUB HAS

Seattle to Be Headquarters-Big
Show and Egg Laying Con-
test in January.

With the purpose of making Sc
attic the headquarters of the rapidly
increasing poultry business in West
ern Washington, the King County
Poultry Association has been reor-
ganized. Assurance has been given
of statewide support in any construc-
tive effort to promote the poultry in
dustry. One of the first activities OF
the association will be a poultry show
to be held in this city January to
s, inclusive Glasses will include the
strictly show and utility birds. In
the latter class there will be five

breeders in the Northwest will enter
their best pens.
New officers of the association are
A. Holdings, S709 Fremont avenue;
president; C. H. Harrop, GA West
Mercer street, vice president; c. w.
Robertson, AIS Seventh avenue N. E..

How to Min a Husband.

The conversation turned on the rea-
wives. One man stated that he mar
ried his wife for the alluring manner
in which she drank water. tea or
coffee Over the brim of the glass
or the cup. he said, her eyes, at
other times not unusual, looked alb
solutely irresistible.
This particular woman is far from
pretty but her charming habit won
her worthwhile chap as a hus-
band.
Many women realize that the race
for a husband is not always to the
beauty and have cultivated marry
ing" tricks. These are little gestures,
the unsuspecting male loses his heart
and which really bring out the best
points in the girl. The wise girl does
her best to camouflage her weak spots
and bad habits, SO that the good spots
will be in the limelight.
Your plain woman, with hair which
reveals high lights under the suns
caress, marches hatless; or If the
lamplight is in tune with her skin,
she is forever in its softening radi-
ance.
Lacking a pretty face, but possess
ing dainty feet, woman calls atten-
ton to the latter much in the same
way as a Snowman displays his wares.
Shoes of bewildering variety and hue.
short skirts and extra silken hose are
worn by her.
Hands, slim, white graceful things,
are perhaps plain wOman's most
forDiiahie weapon in fnrrjng the mar
riage door.
First. watch pretty woman, with
ugly ones, doing anything where
hands play an important and visible
part: then watch a clever, plain wom-
an, possessing dainty fingers, at the
same job. Indescribably graceful and
fascinating can be the play of pretty
fingers, whether they are welding a
knife and fork, holding crochet
needle, playing the piano, or working
a typewriter See them pat strand
of hair into place behind her ear,
watch them delicately stir cup OF
fragrant coffee, note their eloquence
when their owner talks, or the way
one slim hand lies on the shoulder of
her dancing partner.
The clever girl knows the advan-
tage of coolrs, too. The girl whose
eyes are blue will enhance their blue
ness by wearing blue, the girl with
fair hair shows off the fair hair to
its fullest perfection by wearing
green jumper or blouse.
In sport, too, marrying tricks" are
common. Golf, tennis. swimming. all
provide good openings for the enter
prising woman.
| know one woman who had never
played game of golf in her life, but
she won her husband by talking
golf to him. She allowed him to
take her around the links for lessons.
and she won a husband.
Pretty eyebrows and eyelashes. also,
can work marvels in the hands of
woman who knows; the little way she
has when eating, smiling, laughing,
talking, standing-even that graceful
turn of the head, may bring her a
husband.
Man, did you know all this?

For Old Timers

Postmaster johnson received a let
ter during the week that was quite a
reminder Of old times to man. of the
early day residents OF Milbank The
letter was an inquiry from C. A.
Stream of Manhattan. N. Y, enquir-
ing il the firm of Sergeant T. Diggs
was still in Mjlbank. The writer will
be remembered by many of those who
were residents here during the later
1SSO's as clerk Of courts in this county,
and was one. Of the so-called carpet
bagger' appointees of Gov. Church,
who was appointed governor by Pres
ident Grover Cleveland. To all old
republicans who remember the Incl
dents of the time it is long look back
wards to those haley on days of demo-
cratic servitude when Senator George
Vest Of Missouri was opposing the adj
mission of Dakota to the union Of
states on the ground that people
who would deliberately vote prohib-
tion into their state constitution
particularly in as cold 4 climate as
Dakota was reported to be-were too
ignorant to be given statehood. If
the old senator could but rise from
his grave what would he think of
these old United States Of ours..
