structed 1874 miles of these bridges on
the state system of highways. Geor-
gia has 81 miles of bridges in its
State system of roads.
Speaking of the cost of constructing
roads in Georgia, Mr. Holder said that
Georgia constructed its highways at
a cost of 81, 900 mile less than the
average the country over in 1922, and
is now chstructing roads at less cost
a mile than any state in the Onion.
Referring to the criticism of super
vision, Mr.. Holder stated that in order
to receive federal aid, it was necessary
to provide thoro supervision of all
projects, and added that Georgia's
overhead expense is less than thar Nof
a:ly other state. n ,
Georgia has atched all federal fdnds
up to July 1928, Mr.. Holder said. By
November 1924 the State must pro-

to share in the distribution of federal
aid funds. Up to the present time the
counties have been providisg most of
the funds with which to match feder-
al funds, but county road bnd funds
are almost exhausted, said Mr.. older.
Only few counties will have funds

if we ever expect to have a real high
way system in Georgia. Many of the
counties are weak financially and with

roads through these counties and con-
meet up with the state system" Mr..
Holder said the Legislature would be
asked to levy tax of cents a gal

construct roads.

cidts to forget it.
In Paris, Clara, a professional vamp,
Is plying her trade. A young million

her he is sailing for New York the
next day, and Clara, who is trying to
land him, decides to go to New York

Phil calls on the ROLES, tells Julian
OF his iHtatuation for Clara, having
no idea of her character. Julian is
disturbed, and quarrel ensues when
Julian asks Phil not to see her again.
After Phil leaves, Julian gets out the
old letters and checks and tells Mar
garet of the affair.
Phil informs Clara of the interview,
and she, angcred at Julian's attitude,
phones him insultingly, threatening
to show Margaret letters from Julian
in her possession if he refuses to re-
tract what he said of her to Phil Mar
garet advises him to take the letters
and checks which he has, and tell
Phil the truth.
Phil has heard what Clara said to
Julian, and he insists on seeing the
letters Julian wrot her. AS the letters
are undated, he asks if they were
written since her return to New York,
and i'll her spite against Julian she says
yes, and coks up a story that Julian
loves her Phil refuses to see the let
tiers and announces that he and Clara
were married that afternoon. There is
quarrel. i'll which both men become
fighting angry, and afterward Julian
returns home. He gives an account of it
all to Margaret, who burns the letters

body on the floor with a revolver
near it. and Clara gives them her YER
sion of the affair. The detectives 60 to
Julian's home, get his acknowledge
ment of ownership of the pistol, dis
cover further damning evidence in
blood stain on his cuff, and his arrest
follows. Margaret firmly believes in
her husband.
Julian is convicted on the day Mar
garet's baby is born, and there follows
a year in which every legal means to
acquit Julian is tried, to no avail. The
date of the execution is set. Margaret,
under the stress of necessity, forms
deSerate Ian. She takes an aartment

hair. She gets acquainted with Clara
and becomes her inseparable compan-

Margaret plans a final coup. With
the help of Judge Thompson, and sew

lafter-theater party at Clara's old apart
ment. There she plays on Clara's SUI
perstitious fears, who confesses that
she shot Phil herself. The news is
rushed thru to Sing Sing, just in time
to prevent the execution. Margaret and
