tauesting the resignation of all en-
ployees in the Highway Bureau from
patrolmen up. The exact number of
employees affected was not available

work varies according to weather con-
ditions. It was estimated. however,
that about two hundred and twenty

tions to be in by January goth. ard
take effect January s1st. Such ap-
pointments as are necessary TO carry
on the construction of imperative pro-
jects now under way and maintain
the states road system, will be an
nounced later. It is certain, how
ever. that the reorganization of the
highway force will show a great re-
duction in the number Of employees
and the expense.
Activities in two other departments
of the state government were stopped
by order of Governor Moore. These
include the State Constabulary office
and the Department of immigration,
Labor and Statistics. Activities in

not perfectly legitimate. The tele-
phones are a grand thing. but should
not be used only in right and hon
orable way.
There is the moving picture. they
also play their part in divorces: the
way that many of the lady actors
dress causes bad men and women. i
believe that some of them would go
as nude as when they were born. if
the law would permit them. The
actors are allowed entirely too much
salary. There would not be so many
divorces and crime committed among
them if they were only allowed about
half the salary they now get, for
many of them will commit these
crimes knowing that their money will
get them out, and il they did not
get such large salary. the theaters
could put the price of admission down
within the reach of all. 1t is not
right, for the poor widowed woman.
we'll say, that has TO wash TO make
a living for her five or six little
children, to have TO pay three or four
times what picture is worth, il
she wants TO go, just in order TO
help pay the star actors big salary.
Mr.. Hays could not 10 anything any
better towards the betterment of the
picture industry. than to make some
of the lady actors put on some
clothes for a change, and cut their
salary about one-half. Then you will
not hear of so many divorces and
crime among the moving picture actors
of the country.
sometimes can't help but believe
that it would be a mighty good thing,
and that it would do more TO lessen
divorces than any other one thing.
if there were a law in every state
that would prohibit any couple that
got a divorce from ever getting mar
ried again, unless one or the other
died. This would cause many to live
together, that would not otherwise.
and by so doing they would probably
learn to love each other. raise a nice
family, be prosperous and happy all
through their journey of life. To
prevent thing from happening. you
must do away with the things that
cause it to happen.

old parties are running in a rut and
