Babcock AnsDers
Long, Time Query
Tells People When Hishways
Will Be Giuen Hard
Surface

Minnesota trunk highways. in
Blue Earth county will be paved
when travel becomes SO heavy that
gravel surfacing will not stand up
and necessary funds are provided.
Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, 80 states, in ef-
feet, in answer in a highway bulle-
tin this week to the commonest
queries addressed to highway off =
cials. Here are the oftenest asked
Highway questions and Mr.. Bab-
cocks answer:
Question: Just how many
miles does the state highway
department plan to pave?
Answer: There is no fixed pro-
gram. Paving will be built only
where the traffic is SO heavy that
gravel surfacing is neither economi-
cal nor satisfactory, and when funds
are provided, of course. Where the
gravel road will carry the traffic, it
is the best road think the great
majority OF Minnesota people will
agree to that. But it is equally true
that where the grind of heavy traffic
runs up the cost Of keeping gravel
and makes effective maintenance
impossible, then paving means great
er highway satisfaction for less
money in the end. Such sections
will be paved as soon as funds can
be found, but only those sections.
Question: How long will con-
crete pavements such as are be-
ing built now by the state serve?
Answer: Highway engineers of
highest standing place the term at
not less than 20 years. Then they
can be renewed-an excellent foun-
dation Is present-with a compare
lively thin top coat OF asphaltic or
other concrete. This will cost lit
tie more than graveling and will
serve IL to Is years longer. In
Maine, New York and other eastern
state where climatic conditions are
quite comparable to those in Min
nesota, concrete pavements that are
not as strong as those now being
built in Minnesota are in good con-
dition after twenty and even twen-
ty- five years IF use, generally heav-
Ter than the average imposed on
here.

Will UTILIZE RADIO
FOR CHURCH WORK
Extensive Plans Are Now Under
Way, Says Paper
SPREAD WORD OF POPE
Vatican In Few Months Will BE
Able To Broadcast Messages
To World
[Associated Press Dispatch1

Chicago, December 26.-To di-
seminate the religious teachings OF
Christian = churches radio broad
casting is soon to be undertaken by
piapy of the larger denominations,
according to an article in the forth
coming issue of The Radio Digest.
The magazine sets out that active
steps already have been taken by
several Christian churches to utilize
radio communication as a means OF
teaching millions of persons who
might have no other contact with
the religion.
"The vatican will, in a few
months, adopt radio to spread the
word of the pope to millions of
people over the world" the article
declared, "due to the efforts Of a
company headed by Gugleilmo Mar
conf, radio inventor, a broadcasting
station may soon be operated in the
vatican. BY this means Rome will
be enabled to transmit the voice Of
the holy father to almost every
land"
Another Probable Scheme
"Of similar magnitude Is the
probable scheme of Protestant
churches, particularly in the United
States" the writer continued. Dur
ing the last few years the chiefs
of Protestant denominations in this
country have considered the prac-
tibility Of radio as a means OF
spiritual regeneration.
"The next quadrennial meeting
of the Federal Council Of Churches
Of Christ in America may include in
its program plans for utilizing radio
in national schemes to bring the
church to the people. The Methodist
Episcopal church through its COM
mittee on conservation and advance
may soon consider the national ap-
plication of broadcasting according
to DR.. R. ]. Wade of Chicago, one of
the executive leaders.
Will Confer Soon
Delegations from the Episcopal
church, the Roman Catholic and the
Greek Orthodox church are likely
to confer soon as to the practicable
use of radio to send spiritual and
other messages to all religious de-
nominations, in the opinion of the
Rev. George Craig Stewart of
Evanston, ILL.,, on his return from
a conclaye which received from the
League OF Nations a proposal regard
ing the international conference"
Likewise, it was said, in the ar
ticle, that the Baptist and Lutheran
denominations were considering
utilizing the radio in their work.

Lady Clerk Made the

Justice James Fl. Quinn Want

Some Lingerie

James H. Quinn, associate justice
Of the Minnesota supreme court,
wended his dignified way through
the last minute rush Of shoppers in
a downtown department store Mon
day seeking toys for his grandchil-
dren, says The st. Paul Pioneer

Not knowing the exact location OF
Toyland, the justice approached a
sauve young information clerk and
said he would like to purchase a
teddy bear.

smilingly said, and directed him on
his crowded way.
Stepping of the elevator on the
floor named by the clerk and max
ing the directed turns and detours,
Justice Quinn soon arrived at the
counter to which he had been sent.
His mind was, perhaps, on some alb
struse legal question, for he did not
note particularly the character OF
the goods about him as he informed
a salesgirl Of his desire for a teddy
bear.
Now here's something nice in
purple sheer silk. I'm sure it would
please any one" the salesgirl said.
She unfolded a beautiful lace
edged garment that chased away
the last vestiges of legal abstraction
from the jurist's mind.

did l get in this Department." and
his astonished eyes rested on pile
after pile Of feminine lingerie.
Didn't You wish a teddy?" in
quired the girl.
MY goodness, yes, but | want one
made out Of fuzzy stuff with four
legs and glass eyes-one for the
kids to play with" explained the
embarrassed justice as he hastily
backed away and gasped for air.
Then, accompanied by giggles
from the lingerie department. he
dashed for the basement realm of
Santa Claus.
But when Justice Quinn told his
experience to his fellow members
on the supreme bench. expecting 10
hear at least a general chuckIe7 he
was dumbfoundd to find that onIy
two. Chief Justice s. B. Wilson and
Associate Justice Royal A. Stone
showed the slightest signs Of mirth
The others could not understand
tor the life Of them how a teddy
bear could be mixed with lingerie
And they don't know yet.
