oSlphio Bnot
Prior to the coming Of Horemans,
balkline billiards in this country
was threatened with stagnancy due
chiefly to the pronounced superiority
of Willie Hoppe over the other balk-
liners in the United States. None
appeared on the horizon who seemed
TO have better than an outside chance
against the perennial king.
Then came Horemans heralded by
O blare of advance reports of phen-
ominal ability. He arrived laden
with clippings to show that he had
made almost unbelievable runs and
averages in matches Of 1900 points
and more on the other side. And
the American billiard fan imme-
diately perked up. Lethargy was
thrown aside. The public wanted to
be shown.
Hremans made good to q pro-
nounced degree. Then the Amer
lean fan wanted to know II there
briny who could play strong bill
lizards.
It seems that in Europe they had
been watching the success Of Hore-
only the invitation Of Benjamin +.
Bensinger, president of the Bruins
wick Bake Collender Com pan y,
which donates all the national and
international championship trophies
for professional billiards at the
various styles Of play, to persuade
Roger Cont, the twenty-year-old
professional champion OF France, to
come here and join Horemans as
the European representatives in the
international tournament at Chicago.
Playing against Willie Hoppe, Jake
Schaefer, Welker Cochran, Ora
Morningstar and George sutton,
Cont managed to finish tied for
third place with Cochran at three
games won and three lost, and Hore-
mans finished tied with Morningstar
for fifth place, with two games won
and four lost.
This showing was gratifying one
TO real lovers Of billiards for 1t prov
ed that the game is rapidly advanc-
ing in Europe.
Then came Erich Hagenlacher,
the professional champion of Ger
many, lured here by me hope Of en-
gaging the best professionals in this
country. Since his arrival he has
been engaged in exhibition work
chiefly with Koji Yamada, the cham
pion of Japan, and the showing
Hagenlacher has made proves he
must be ranked in the first fight OF
cue masters.

$1OO,OOO,OOO for
Highway Construction
CONTINUED from Page II

the $4,000 miles that are expected
to result from previous federal
appropriations, makes a total of
1900 miles, or nearly 40 per cent
of the estimated 100000 miles of
good roads on the system of feder-
al aid roads now being outlined.
With the aid of the $350,000,000
previously appropriated by the
government, 1900 miles of road
had been completed on last May
81 and in addition, nearly 14,500
miles were under construction, in
volving more than $287500,000 Of
federal aid. TO match this fund
the states have appropriated APP
proximately $380,000,000 making a
total of $667 100000.
The average cost per mile of all
types of road construction with
federal aid has been $27,120 of
which 43 per cent has been the
cost to the government. The new
legislation, however, reduces the
maximum participation on the
part of the government from $780,
600 to $16,250 per mile for the
first fiscal year, and $4,000 there
after. The appropriations are to
be used on construction of a con
nected system of primary, or in
ter-state, and secondary, or inter
county,roads.
1t is further provided that the
states receiving aid must maintain
ADEQUATE highway departments,
must maintain the federal roads
sufficient to the traffic anticipated,
and must match the amounts allot-
ted by the government. Otherwise,
the federal funds for new projects
will be withheld.
Plans for the proposed system
have already been received by the
bureau of good roads from all but
eight states, and the state systems
are being co-ordinated so that
when Joined together they will
serve the best interests of the
whole country. In the meantime
only projects certain to be on the
proposed system are being APPROX

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

so often have, which is indicated by
backache, weak feelings, nervousness,
