LIFE AND CHARACTER
READING

o
The governing Sign OF this date is
Taurus. the sign of the Bull. and
like the namesake, men OF this
birthdate are most bull-like II not
educated and reared in gentleness.
They are selfish in the extreme
sometimes. but at other times they
will give away money prodigiously.
They prefer helping out with money
to extending sympathy and feeling.
Persons born on this date when
they lose control of their tempers
cannot be controlled by mental ar
gument or moral suasion. Words in
furiate them. and the best assist
ance one can render is to leave
them entirely alone until they get
over It.
Children born on this date, while
very stubborn. are easily turned
aside by those they love when guild
ed by a strong and loving hand.

RUSH OF preliminary WORK
There viii Be No Delay in Highway
Construction by Enactment OF
New Federal Act.

Highway cOnstructiO will not be
delayed by the requirements of the
new federal highway act. The federal
highway system will consist of roads,
not exceeding per cent of the total
in any state. designated by the state
and approved by the secretary of az
ricuIture. Work is being rushed by
all the highway departments on the
preparation of maps Of the proposed
system, but naturally such an impOr-
tant matter will take some little time
and consideration. The government
authorities will insist that important
through routes meet at state lines
which will require conferences be-
tween authorities Of different states
In order that work will not be
delayed pending the approval OF each
state system the secretary of agri-
culture has amended the rules and
regulations for federal aid to permit
the immediate construction Of such
roads as it may reasonably be antici-
pated will become part OF the system.
State highway officials are being
advised that the anticipated route OF
which the road to be built is part
should be as long as practicable, pref
erably entirely across the state. A
map must be submitted showing the
route, other possible routes and con-
Meeting routes. II this is found sat
isfactory the project will be approved
for immediate construction.
The State Of Washington submitted
on December q the first complete
state system. and others are expected
In n short time.
