COUNTY GETS FEDERAL
PRIMARY ROAD
Barry County is Given Bitumin-
GUS Bound Road at Cost Of $780,
600 per Mile. Good Work
BY Committee.

The Barry county committee who
appeared before the state highway
commission at jefferson City this
week in behalf of the Capital High
way route through this section, did
excellent work for our county. While
we did not get a place on the con-
crete primary road, Barry county was
given federal primary road, branch
ing from Monett to Seligman and to
Okla, on the Capital Highway route
The commission had not designated
the road from Monet to Seligman as
one of the federal primary roads pre-
vious to their conference with the
Capital Highway Association, which
entertained the commission
at banquet at which they presented
their data for Barry county. The
Justice of their claim was made plain
to the commission, who later added
the Seligman road to the route. At
this meeting r. E, Galloway present.
ed the argument for Southwest Mis-
souri,, man from Lynn county, the
north end of the state and A. G. Nc
Kibben the jefferson City east and
west road.
The commission designated the
highway southwest of Springfield as
a federal promary road. $3,600,0O0 is
to be spent on this road, which is to
be bituminous bound and will be a bet
ter roadway than any street in Mo-
nett. 1t is to cost $4,000 per mile,
which is only $4,000 per mile less
than the concrete primary highway is
to cost. 1t goes through Monet,
South to Seligman, connecting with an
Arkansas primary road, and south
west, connecting with an Oklahoma
state primary road. Monett is thus
the gateway to two states.
Barry county is one of five coun-
ties in the state receiving the largest
amount of mileage of designated
roads, in the tentative plan submitted
by the commission. Barry county IS
gratified to be thus favored, as
trilty-five or forty other counties
as good as ours got MOTH
ing except the $4,000 per mile state
secondary road This in face Of the
fact that Southwest Missouri had no
representative on the state commits
sion.
R. E. Callaway, president Of the
Commercial club. and representative
of Barry county at the meeting OF
the state highway commission, called
a meeting of Monet citizens at the
city hall Thursday afternoon to report |
the findings Of the commission. Mr..
Galloway had a road map, by which he
was able to explain the location of the
primary roads and their tributaries
with reasons for their location. 4
While our citizenship is well pleas
ed with the consideration shown
southwest Missouri in the tentative
road plans, they still believe that
primary road should reach to Monett
from Springfield, and will try to pre-
sent their reasons, effectively to the
commission. They do not contem-
plate taking any legal action, nor file
ing injunction, however, as intimated
by the Springfield and Joplin papers.

BIC SALE OF PADDLES !
AUGURS I'LL FOR POOR
WAYWARD FRESHMEN

Several freshmen are due to eat theiI
meals in the near future off the mantel
doing SO not as matter Of etiquette but
as of matter of comfort. The foregoing
prophecy is based on the fact that the
Duncan Planning Mil Of Columbia has
sold to freshmen twenty-five paddles in
round numbers, since the winter term
began.
j. B. Hourigan, paddle expert of the
Duncan Planning Mill, has made paddles
for university freshmen for the last four.
teen years. To him . well turned paddle
is thing Of beauty, and to the upper
:lassmen wielder il is a joy forever.
Freshmen, however. take a different at
iitude toward the matter.
''The first paddle | ever made was
fourteen years ago." said Hourigan. "It
was made of brentwood and was designed
by A. I. Duncan, who has been dead for
a number of years. At that time there
were letters stamped upon the paddles
10 identify them. Each fraternity had a
different insignia. We have made
paddles every year since. but have never
changed the design as they seem to give
the utmost satisfaction. Instead of birch
wood We now use hard pine. which seems
to serve the purpose equally as well.
Whenever | sell paddle" continued
Hourigan. Il always ask the purchaser if
he would like me to bore a hole in il
near the end. In every case the freshman
has informed me that such an improve.
ment was wholly necessary. No doubt |
there are many men who have graduated
from the University and made a name for |!
themselves, who can testify to the me-
chanical perfection Of our paddles"

N/HAT is insulation?-a necessary evil
W the insulation engineer?-likewise a nee
cssary cvil;-such, too often, was the oldtime
formula. What wonder, with such stigma,
that the vast majority of budding engineers of
bygone years side-stepped that branch of the
electrical art which was in such ill-rapute.
Fortunately, a few far-visioned young men of
unusual caliber saw the great possibilities in this
field of endeavor and concentrated many of their
best years upon it. Foremost among these few
who have developed the insulation problem to
leading position in the art, stands Charles E.
Skinner, the head of the Research Department of
the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co.
For over thirty years. Mr.. Skinner has been
delving into the why's and wherefores of the insu-
lation problem, from extreme theoretical studies
TO the most practical applications. His work
began at time when there were no theories
worth while to consider, and when there were no
methods worth while to work with. 1t was not
only necessary to develop the insulation art from
the ground up, but all the tools of attack had to
be developed, and this latter means far more
than mere words can convey. "a
