5000 EMPLOYED ON ROADS
Additional Federal Aid Needed to
Keep Work Under Way.

Approximately 5000 men are di-
rectly employed just now in Kansas
highway work. while many more are
employed in cement, brick, sand, stone
and other plants which depend on
highway work to operate. If addi-
tional federal aid is not available at
once, IS per cent of these men will be
thrown out of employment.
That is the gist of figures submitted
to the national unemployment confer
ence now in session, by NJ. w. Wat
son, state highway engineer.
Between now and January 1, En-
gineer Watson estimates, seventy-five
miles of highway work, costing ST.
800, 200, will be done in this state, and
that unless more federal aid is avail
able the entire program for 1922 will
be not more than sixty-eight miles.
costing approximately $1,50O,O0O, or
but one-fourth of the 1921 program.
Declaring that nearly 100 districts
are clamoring for federal aid before
going ahead with their road building
programs and that $4,000 900 worth
of hard-surfaced road projects would
be initiated if more aid were available,
Watson said:
The bulk of projects have been
started on the basis of obtaining fed
eral aid and local authorities will not
proceed with construction until aid is
provided. The government, 1 believe,
could well afford to appropriate $780,
100000 to $S00.0o0,O00 additional fed
eral aid to relieve unemployment. This
state is in n position to take care of
her share of the additional funds
Kansas stands ready to do her part
and with certain variations in the fed
eral aid regulations we could have
underway a large mileage of earth
roads and culverts construction which
would handle a large number of men
during the winter months"
If congress appropriates the con-
templated SIS. 100000 to be available
this fiscal year, Kansas will receive
about $2,250,000, which will continue
road building at the present rate and
keep the present force employed. If
work is to be created for. the unem-
ployed, the appropriation must be en-
larged. according to Watson.

RURAL SCHOOLS SUFFER
Lack of Academic Preparation, Says
Miss Lorraine Wooster.

Kansas rural schools suffer from
lack of academic preparation of teach
ers, declares Miss Lorraine z. Woos-
ter. state superintendent of public in
struction.
Figures just compiled on the re-
ported propagation of teachers en-
ployed during 1890 show that only
2.3 per cent of the 1924 teachers in
ungraded rural schools were graduates
of a college or normal school. About
10 per cent were graduates of high
schools or academies and 10 per cent
had from one to three years in high
school or academy. The portion un-
reported was 17.7 per cent.
The percentage of graduates of uni
versities, colleges and normal schools
ranged from 1928 in graded rural
schools to 34.7 in graded schools in
first class cities; and from 1911 in
county high schools to 86.1 in high
schools in cities of the second class.
In the graded rural schools 71.9 per
cent of the teachers had from one to
three years in college or normal: 45.5
in second class city graded schools;
and 1S5.8 in first class city graded
schools.

Not for women only

The most conspicuous effect is glistening

on that account. Few things add so much

But men also want white teeth. Men who
smoke find that teeth diseolor quickly, due

Pepsodent means more than this, however.
It means cleaner, safer teeth. Children need
it even more than others. Their teeth are
easily attacked, and very few escape. Den

To all it means new conception of clean,

M'GraU PhOnes
 'W0tty'' Of Win

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept 19-Not long after the Giants had scored a second victory over the Pirates yesterday, a pleasant little episode occurred in Manager McGraws room at the ho- tel Schenley. John J., thoughtful of one whose thoughts are with the team while his body battles it's way toward health, called up Christy Mathewson at Saranac Lake by long distance telephone to tell him of the outcome. McGraw chatted with Matty a minute or two, and then Sec retary Tierney, Traffic Manager Bran nick, John Lobert, Cozy Dolan, Dr. Finley, close friend of McGraw, and the New York baseball writers, old friends of Matty, each held converse tion with the former monarch of moundsmen.
 Christy's voice was clear over the hundreds of miles of wire, and his pleasure over the sudden invasion through the skies of a dozen visitors was evident. His joy at the upward dash of the Giants within less than a month from the valley of despon- dency to the heights of almost assur- ed victory was as keen as if he him self had been ready to share in it.

Hans Wagner, Peer Of B0U
 Players, John Clark Says
By GEORGE E. FIRsTBRooK.

Hans Wagner and Christy Mathew son were the peer of big league stars in the old days, in the opinion of John r. Clark, monumental stone worker, corner of Main and Capital avenue. Clark who was an ardent adnirer of Wagner delights in telling about his trip to the Polo Grounds when the old Pittsburgh star and Big Six were the biggest drawing cards the historic New York field. Never did a player put on a, uni form to equal Wagner's record. He had no equal. He was the greatest ball player of 'em all,'' said Clark today 7 Clark also said @ fan could see a game in those days without pay ing a fortune. quoting the prices carfare $2.5O against SABA, and grandstand seats 50 cents against $1.1O.
 Clark made a prediction today that the World Series classic will be fought out between the Clevelands and the Giants. He cntertains the opinion that the Tank hurlfng staff is not equal to the emergency. Time will tell, however.
 Clark, although a big booster for Wagner, entertained a wholesome re spect for Mathewson, Ty Cobb and Nap Lajoie- He declared that Cobb's s famous slide into first and landing standing up. was one of the star dia- mond stunts he ever saw performed. | "But give me Wagner" he unused.
 Babe Ruth never c1assed as a star with Hans Wagner said Clark. | Also Oldtime Fight Fan. Clark was also an oldtime boxin 2 fan in the days when 25 cents would admit one to see a 20 round bout be- tween such boxers as Martin F1aher- ty and Danny Mcbride. He recount ed their famous draw here. and de- clared he saw Fred Bu1len pay $250 | each to the boxers.
 ''Some difference in those days and | now" he mGsed
 Adding MT. Clark declared he would like nothing better than to see Louis Bogash and Jack Delaney in the ring. Clark predicted if such a thing ever comes to pass Delaney will put the K. O. hook onto Bogash

.BridgepOrters See Ruth Sock BGII
 for Three Bases

A party of seven Bridgeport sports yesterday, attended the game at the Polo Grounds be- tween the Yankees and Detroit. In the party were Walter Schneider, Levy Cobb, Jack Myers, Rymer AIgren, Frank Me Keon, Joe Simone and Frank Me Donald. The boys were specially interested in Babe Ruth and when the Babe made his three bagger the first time at bat, and it looked good for homer, the 33,0OO spectators arose as one and yelled, but as the hit passed about two feet over the Grant Memorial in center field, Ty Cobb who was fielding the ball gave it up rather than crash into the monument. There were a few straw hats in the crowd and these were thrown into the field, when McNaIIy made his home run into the left field bIeacherS. Joe Simone did not show much en- thuSiaSm at the Babes hit and did not arise with the other spec , tators for fear of losing his pockctbOolz. However, all en- poyed themselves and figured it one of the best games of the sea- son.
