one knows that in Maine during the
Fall. Winter and Spring excellent
roads may be irreparably damaged by

may prohibit the use of certain roads
at certain times of the year so far as
heavy vehicular traffic is concerned
If the Commission finds it necessary
to do this it's action will be upheld by
the people. Our roads, as rule. arc
not built so that they can stand uI

Burial Ground of a
Giant Race Of Many
Thousand Years Ago

Douglas, Ariz.. Nov. 25-Recent
heavy rains in the vicinity of Red
dington, near here, have uncovered
the burial grounds of race Of giant
people who are thought to have lived
thousands of years ago, according to
August Ealey, miner, who has been
employed in the Reddington district.
Ealey described parts of skeletons
recovered from the cemetery and de-
clarcd that the stature of the race
must have been twice that of the av-
erase man of today. One skull
showed thickness Of about an inch

perfect preservation. Pieces of not

Enforcing the Highway Laws
portland Press Herald


The State Highway Commission
has distinguished itself during the
past year in it's efforts to enforce the
laws governing the operation of mot
or cars and trucks on the roads. The
last Legislature stiffened Up the laws
to considerable extent and the
Highway Commission has taken full
advantage of them.
In charge of the enforcement OF
these laws a man was selected who
set about his task in a bushes like
and thorough manner. Mr.. Fl. A.
Shorey. Jr., who is in charge Of this
department. has been handicapped to
some extent for lack Of experienced
officers and really has not had enough
of them to do all the things he
wished. but with the means at his
disposal he has accomplished a great
deal.
Reckless driving of automobile has
been checked; many men who at
tempted to operate when under the
influence of liquor have been appre-
hended and severely punished and the
regulations relative to lights and Ii
censes have been generally enforced.
Wonderful progress was made along
these lines during the past year and
the department which the Legislature
created has been more than self sup
porting in addition to materially con-
trihuting to the safety of the high
ways.
The most important work this en-
forcement department has undertak
en-, however, has been in protecting
the state highways from overloaded
trucks. Recently two cases of this
kind have come up. In each case one
of them a truck weighing more than
nine tons was held up on. state
road and the driver taken into the
nearest police court. charged with
violation of the law and fined. Tn one
instance a part of the fine was COL
lected and the balance suspended so
that if the offense is repeated the
man will be compelled to pay il in
addition to whatever the fine on the
second case may be. In another case
the driver who had an overloaded
truck of apples which he was trans
porting from Bath to Boston was
fined $50 and costs and paid the fine
before being discharged.
The purpose of this law is to prevent
our state roads from being ruined,
at the seasons of the year when. be-
cause Of heavy rains or frosts they

Educators in some of the larger
cities report that loss of life among
school children occasioned by acci-
dents on the highways has beer
greatly reduced since beginning was
made Of teaching the children how tC
protect themselves. The annual toll
taken of the school children by
motorists is said to be nearly ten
thousand, an appalling condition OF
things. Here surely is need not only
of safety first education for the chill
dren but the motorists as welt. Most
states have sufficient laws for the
latter if they will but enforce them
Maine is trying to do this and already
has accomplished much. But law
cannot so well be applied to the
school children, whose heedlessness
and ignorance contribute to the peril
Many of them may be reached

warrant an earnest effort to that end

William f. Pulliam has been rein
stated as receiver general of customs
in Santo Domingo, and the selection
is meeting with approval. This is
added evidence that the present ad-
ministration is undertaking the re-
lations between this country and the
peoples of Haiti and Santo Domingo
in better accord with American ira
dition than was shown under the pre-
vious one. A spirit of arrogance and
intolerance has been productive of
much mischief; there should be an
end of it, especially wherever VIC

pies.

A message to the American people
!, from the president of the republic of
Austria urging the United States to
stand by prohibition was given out
here today by Virgil G.. Hinshaw,
Committee. Mr.. Hinshaw has Just
returned from Europe where this
word was entrusted to him by Presi-
dent D. NJ. Hanisch, himself a strong
prOhibtionist.
Prof. Mazaryk, president of the re-
public of Czecho- Slovakia, and DR..
Hanisch have both placed themselves
at the head of national organiza tions
for prohibition in their countries, Mr.
Hinshaw announced. He reported
he had aided in the formation of
these organizations and that in each
case the chief executive of the nation
had accepted the leadership Of the
prohibition movement.
President Hanisch in his signed
message said:

heads.

Just a little intelligent foresight

begun-offers an attractive future for
those possessed of the kind of abili-
ties essential. However, 1t may be
doubted II many foresaw women play
ing prominent part therein.

will be held in Chicago, Jan. 1920,
recognizing the interest shown by
women throughout the country and
the extent with which they have in
vaded the field of construction is
sending to them urgent invitations to
attend the meeting.
One of these is Mrs. Axel Holm OF
Wisconsin, who has just completed a
contract for building four and half
miles df highway in that state. She
finances her company and bosses her
gang of 81 workmen, cooks their food
and looks after the machinery and 20
teams of horses, with the assistance
of two daughters.
