of Agricultural
Road building has recovered from
the setback received during the war,
and prospects are bright for the future.
Approximately $4,000 miles Of road
were constructed during the present
season by the states in conjunction
with federal aid, according to the
bureau Of public roads, United States
Department Of Agriculture, and prob
ably an equal amount Independent Of
federal aid. More miles Of improved
road were built than during any other
year.
Costs Of road grading and construc-
ton with local materials 10 down prac-
tcally to the 1914 level. Some reduc-
lions. also, have been made In freight
rates on road materials. The i'm
portance Of this item Is shown by the
fact that In some cases 1t has been g.
timated that increased freight rates
have added 10 per cent to the cost OF
q road. Prices Of manufactured road
materials tend downward; the present
level is materially lower than that Of
q year ago.
With the new appropriation by con-

BODY OF POPE
LAID TO REST
Burial at St. Peters. Cere-
mony Was Most Inn
pressive.

Rome.-Beneath the flagstones OF
ST Peters, where thousands of pill
grims come each year, lies the mortal
remains of Benedict XIV, whose be
nignant efforts through all the years
Of the war were directed toward peace
and after the war to the pacification
Of Europe and the world.
The burial ceremony took place at
o'clock Thursday and in the light
OF the perpetually burning tapers the
body was lowered into its tomb. Those
cardinals who had gathered in Rome
for the conclave which is to elect q
new pope assembled in the basilica OF
St. Peters, together with the diplo.
matte representatives of the foreign
nations accredited to the holy sec.
Outside the edifice great crowds knelt
in prayer and waited for the end of
the solemn ceremonial.
The notes of the "Miserere" swell
ing through the vast basilica, the
martial step and clang Of swords of
ing robes of prelates, rich violet blend
ing with the striking costumes of the
Swiss Guards, the gendarmerie and
the Noble Guards, and contrasting
with the simple black of the diplo-
matte corps, combined to give a pic
turesque impressiveness to the high
pontifical rite of burial.
The choir proceeded from Julian
Chapel on the south side of ST. Pc
tiers, across the transept to the chapel
of the Holy Sacrament, where the body
of the late pope lay in state. Bishop
Writ celebrant Of the ceremony, fol-
lowed the choir and at the end of the
procession came Cardinal Merry Del
Val, archpriest of st. Peters.
Two lines of guards were drawn up
from the chapel of the Holy Sacra-
ment to the high pontifical altar.
Swiss Guards in full dress uniform
with quaint medieval helmets and
to the chapel Of the choir. Gendarmes
six feet tall, with lace and silver
epaulets, stood watch at the entrance
Of the basilica while the long lines be.
tween the two chapels were taken up
by the Palatine Guards in blue and
cerise
The cardinals entered the basilica
through the Julian door and took their
places in the chapel choir seated in
the high stalls on the left, while the
diplomats occupied the right. AS Car
dinal Gasparri entered, escorted by
Swiss Guards and acolytes, he was
honored as sovereign because Of his
accession as camerlengo. He appear
ed to be deeply moved.
