CRIMINAL COURTROOM. Chica.
" 20. Aug. 5.-At this afternoons
session OF the I.eopold.Loeb murder
hearing. States Attorney Grove
asked DR.. William Hcaly. Boston
alienist. whether n person with a
tremendously abnormal inner men,
tai life" WAS insane. Upon the doc
tors reply OF Yes" Grove immedi.
ately demanded that, Justice Caverly
impanel jury TO pass on the san
ity OF the boys.
Grove contended that the alien
lists testimony showed that the boys
came under that characterization.
Justice caverly. however. overru'ed
the demand. stating that he would
consider only tho definition Of legal
insanity as laid down By the su.
prcme court OF Illinois.
Docs the defendant. Nathan Leo
pold. or the defendant, Richard Loeb
know the difference between right
and wrong2' Grove asked. starting

Il think yes they know the diff
ference DIR. Hcaly responded.
Nov. doctor, granting they know
the difference between right and
wrong, did they have the power TO
choose. between right and doing
wrongg"
Perhaps, but only in a measure
Now. let's be specific. Did
Nathan Leopold on May 81, 1924,
have the power to choose between
killing Robert Franks or not killing
him?"
Defense counsel Bachrach objected
to this question on the ground that
1t involved legal insanity as laid
down by the Illinois supreme court.
The court sustained Bachrach and
then ordered brief recess.

The monthly Song Service which

the noted singers to appear in Parco.
There is a great deal OF musical
talent In Parco and through the med
ium OF this club 1t Is thought that
interesting musical entertainments
can be presented to tho public that
will be OF real value and interest to
all. Music hath charms and when
properly administered It is one OF
the greatest OF all things TO bring

MRS. KISILER
SENDS GIFTS TO
PARC0 CHILDREN

One of the great features in the
building up of Parco has been the
personal interest shown in the en-
ployees of the p. and II. by both Mr..
and Mrs. f. f.. Klstler. AT all times
they have needed the needs of the
employees and successfully made
Parco II Of the most pleasant
places in Wyoming to live.
Now that Christmas is here once
more Mrs. f. L. kistler has remem-
bered Parco. Through her generos-
ity and thoughtfulness the children
of u fair city will receive, on We'd
nesday evening, candy and toys ga
lore. Everyone will be able to look
upon a Christmas tree OF dazzling
beauty glittering with Christmas orn-
aments of many beautiful hues.
1t Is the sincere wish of all Parco
that the Kistlers spend one of the
merriest of Christmases and that the
coming New Year brings to them the
three great wishes Health, Wealth
and Happiness"

boundaries of counties or states. and
the necessity for securing joint action
of the authorities of the two polite
al divisions, coupled with the made
quacy of funds available, has made
the construction Of modern structures
over wide rivers an almost hopeless
problem. Yet it is evident hat no
continuous road system is possible
without bridging these barriers.
Federal aid and the co-ordinating
influence of the federal government
have beer the means OF securing
cases of this sort. The careful study
OF the principal lines OF travel lead
ing to the designation of the federal
aid highway system has developed
clearly the need OF bridges OF this
character over certain streams and
has brought about agreement as to
the locations in which the bridges
should be built. This benefit has
been experienced by the majority of
the states, especially those OF the
south and the Mississippi valley.

h whole community will gather at
the gymnasium to celebrate the first
Christmas in Parco that cal really be
called a Home celebration.
All arrangements have been made
even to the erection of a chimney
for Santa Claus to enter through. A
large Christmas tree has been pro-
cured and set up. decorted with cleo
trio lights and ornaments whose
beauty and brilliancy will dazzle the
eye. There will be presents Of all
kinds and descriptions with an I'M
usually large supply of candy, nuts
and other goodies for all the chill
dren.
A regular ong fest will be the
feature of the program. There will
be singing by the school children,
pantomines by the Sunday school
classes and readings by several Of the
younger Parcoites. Christmas carols
by members of the Music Club, solos
and songs by mixed quartets. There
will be community songs and every
one will be asked to sing so be sure
to bring your voices along with you.
If you have presents for your
friends bring them and they will be
handed by Santa Claus himself. II
you would help to gladden. the hearts
Of the Parco children be sure to come
to the party and should you have
gifts for any Of them be sure to bring
them SO that they may be given out
by that famous old Santa.
In the center Of the Plaza is a 30

OF $500
MILES OF ROAD
BUILT in A YEAR

WASHINGTON. DEC. 20. - The
rapid development of the federal aid
road system Is shown by a report
issued today by the department of
agriculture. 1t says:
Progress in the construction of
federal aid roads resulted in the COM
pletion of $3.50 miles d u / n g
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1924.
This brings the total of roads COM
pleted with federal aid since 1916
to 35,157 miles. Work was in prog
ress at the end of the fiscal year on
1850 miles and these roads we're
reported as Sc per cen complete in
the aggregate.
A in previous years, the mileage
of gravel roads completed exceeded
the mileage of any other type of con-
struction, the years total including
1888 miles. Other types were
completed as follows: Graded and
drained, 1,6O4.S miles; sand-clay.
SSS.2 miles; water-bound macadam,
$685. miles; bituminous concrete,
252.1 miles; concrete, 1903 miles;
brick. 1854 miles. Bridges more
than twenty feet in span completed
during the year aggregated in length
10.S miles.
One of the most helpful results of
federal aid to road construction has
been the bridging of major streams
which 1t has encouraged and made
possible, according to the annual re-
port of the bureau OF public roads
OF the department OF agriculture.
Such streams are, In many cases. the
