Heavy Traffic Makes
North Roads Choppy

Milwaukee, Wis. Heavy traffic in
the northern part of the state, is be-
ginning to have its effect on the gray
elled main arteries and for the most
part they have become choppy, The
Milwaukee Journal in it's weekly re-
view of Wisconsin highways says to-
day.
Highway 80 from Deerbrook north is
under construction and for Rhine
lander the use Of county trunks Glib
to So, then SO is suggested.
Highway so from Leona then south
has some poor construction work on
it, as has also " from Hurley over to
Mellen.
A new detour between Milladore and
Auburndale of Highway IS has made
its appearance within the last week
and is in rather poor condition. The
detour IS between Fremont, Weyau-
vega is still on and in poor condition.
One of the first detours to come off
in the southeastern part of the state
is the one on Highway so just west of
the intersection of 81, also one on %
outside Endeavor.
New construction work will be found
on Highway IL between Kilbournl and
New Lisbon, also between Milestone
and Black River Falls.
The detours on 10 and Al to Madi-
son are about the same and the best
road is 19-M-B to Madison.

made by the new organization among
the stockholders. have received no
other suggestions of bids, but | know
that there have been several parties
investigating the property and it is
possible that on the day of the sale
these parties will be active bidders.
The property ought to bring at least

Mr.. Mccall declined to discuss the
possibilities of dividends to the cred

CUBAN WOME.N SEE IDEAL
 IN AMERICAN MOMANHOOD

The women of Cuba are coming forward and are today taking the steps that American women took more than 2j years ago. One of th> chief interests of the recent conVen- tion at West Paln. Beach of the Florida Federation of Women's Clubs and the Southeastern division of the General Federation. was the accep- taIce of the Cuba Federation into the southeastern division
 Cuban women have fought what was thought to be a losing battle for the freedom that has been enjoyed by American women, and the past few years have found the httie island in a state of expectancy as well as consternation oyer the atti- tude it's women have taken.
 Perhaps one of the most startling things Cuban women did was to ac- tually close bull fight ring near Fla vana short time ago. When the pro- motors refused to listen to the pro- test of tine Cuban women, it is re- ported that the movement feminine" became virtually threatening, and the Cuban government found it quite nee essary to revoke the license to the bull fight promoters that had pre- viousiy been issued to them. And consequently the ring was never used.
 The fight the women of Cuba have instituted for freedom of thought and privileges of citizens, has been marked with many hardships as was the lot of the pioneer women in a similar movement in America many years ago. A delegation to West Palm Beach from Cuban federation which has recently been formed on the island. made a tremendous f1n pression upon the American women assembled for the convention, and Cubas acceptance to :he invitation to join the southern division was re- ceiVed by cable at West Palm Beach.
 The fact that the Cuban women have federated with the American
