Is There A Mile Post In Your
?


The Zero Milestone, located just
behind the White House at Wash
ington, on Meridian of Longitude
Zero, dedicated to the Nation and
accepted by President Harding, is
the starting point for road measure
ment east, west, north, south Of the
Capital of the Nation.
1t is forty miles to Baltimore. 1t
is also forty-five miles to Baltimore.
depending on the part of Baltimore
to which one measures 1t may be
two hundred and fifty-three or two
hundred and sixty-sevon miles to
New York, according as one
measures to the Battery or some
where up above Harlem
Every town in America ought to
have a milestone, to which road dis
tances from other towns could be
measured, and from which distances
would be computed. If an error of
one mile was made in estimating dis
lance between town and town,
across the continent, the motor
traveller might be several hundred
miles out Of his calculationsl
A town milestone costs little. it
can easily be financed by the local
civic or commercial club. Its
placement and use will foster civic
pride, encourage tourist travel, and
be an everlasting convenience to all
who use it. A little research will
compute its exast distance from the
Zero Milestone at Washington, still
further adding to its interest.
From a commercial standpoint an
official milestone would be Of service
in giving readers Of advertisements
Of real estate for example, definite
information. A farm may be
advertised as being six miles distant
from Jonesville With the adoption
of am official milestone by Jones'
vile, the reader would know that the
distance is six miles from a fixed
point in Jonesville, which would be

Sanity In Road Financing Needed.

DAINTY IN hoad 4 financing iseeueds
Representative Of the United
States Bureau Of Public Roads and
Committees from The American As
ISOLATION OF State Highway Officials,
the Investment Bankers Association
Of America ana he National Auto
mobile Chamber If Commerce, have
agreed on the basic principles Of
road finance. 1t is distinctly stated
by these experts that the wide
variance in the present status Of
highway development in the several
States prevents adoption Of any
uniform policies for securing the
necessary funds, but that the follow
ing are regarded as fundamental
principles:
(a) States in the initial stage Of
highway development should issue
bonds to defer that portion Of the
annual charge for construction which
would ovcrburden either property or
the road user.
(b1 States where original con
struction programs are well under
way can, in the main, finance normal
new construction from current
funds utilizing bond issue funds to
defer the cost Of special projects.

Up Big Rnckus

One lone Chinese, who attempted
an original method of trying to
shuttle himself off the earth, cans-
ed considerable excitement in the
vicinity of Mt. Signal yesterday.
The sheriff s office was notified
that a rancher was having nice
time chopping himself and family
into bits with an axe, and Under
sheriff Bert Underwood was sent to
the scene to save at least n remnant
of the family if possible.
Investigation developed the IN.
formation that n Celestial had
tried to club himself to death with
crowbar, and had nearly succeed
ed in finishing the job when he was
found by customs officials, who
classified him as contraband =
and sent him across the line to
Mexico. The actions of the China
man had been witnessed by two
small boys, and had worked upon
their imagination until they be
leved they were witnessing a
wholesale slaughter.

RAISIN SCOUT IDEA

FRESNO, July 18.-Officials Of
the Sun Maid Raisin Growers are
unaware that action is contemplate
ed by the United States government
against the association under the
antitrust laws and it is considered
unlikely, according to q statement
today by Managing Director Ralph
Merritt. Tie said:
1--WE have received no advices of
any suit being filed or to be filed
against the Sun Maid Raisin Grow
crs. If there be anything in it, it
is probably directed at the condi-
tions prevalent Mt the time before
reorganization. Admittedly there
were things that in 1920 did not
come within the federal law at that
time, but the reorganization com
plies fully with the law now. -
Opinion of those closely identi-
fled with the raisin association af-
fairs is that steps of reorganization
which were fully explained to Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace and
approved by him, had not been
made clear to the department OF
Justice. Lack of this information
by the legal department might be
the cause of the report, it was ar
pued.

AWARDS CHILD
TO AUNT IN
LOVE TANCLE
Court Wrestles With
One of Strangest
Cases on Record
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, July 13.-June
Haskell Shosted, five, was today
permanently awarded to her aunt,
Mrs. Elsie Shosted, by Judge Leslie
Hewitt, who ruled on habeas cor
pus action brought by the child s
real mother, Mrs. Lois Pollan. The
| two women are sisters.
I Behind the ruling lay one of the
most tangled love eases ever
brought before a local court. In
1917 Lois girlhood sweetheart at
their home in Wayside, Kansas,
Frank Melton, went to France. He
never returned. After he had gone
she learned that she was to become
mother.
Her married sister, who then had
no children, offered to pretend she
was to become mother and take it
as her own child. When the baby
was to be born the two sisters went
to distant town, the younger girl
taking the name of her married sis
ter, and little June was born. Mrs
Shosted, then Mrs. Frank Shanholt
2cr, took the child and reared it as
her own.
Shanholtzer died shortly after
ward. Then Lois married Captain
Clayton Pollan, of Pittsburg, 6
wealthy naval officer.
Mrs. Shosted went to st. Paul
Minnesota, where she legally adopt
ed the child, whose father, she sal;
she believed to be her own first hus
oand, Shanholtzer. She said he ha(
confessed lis love for Lois to her.
After marrying Pollan, Lois wish
ed to regain her child, but her sis
ter would not give it up. Mrs
| Pollan brought habeas corpus ac
tion in the local courts.
"Give me back my child. Yol
now have a child of your own,
cried Mrs. Pollan, but her sister re
fused.
"There is only one thing l wisl
for deeply-but it cannot be,
fcar,' said Judge Hewitt before
rendering his decision. ~ wish
that it were possible to keep al
knowledge of these proceedings
from this little child. But that is q
wish that cannot come true, for il
future years some one will tell tins
child what has transpired here, ano
that knowledge may wreck Thu
child IS faith in humankind. -
Mrs. Pollan collapsed.
AS Mrs. Shosted led little june
out of court the child +, appeared
puzzled, wondering perhaps WHY
