HIGHWAY DEPARTMENTS P0IlCYEOR
1926 OUTLINED i'm, Sta TE1|llflN SENT
TO DEPAR 1MENI HEADS ENGINEERS

A general statement of the policy
to be pursued by the state highway
department this year and conditions
governing highway operations is con-
tanned in instructions issued by H. C.
Frahn, chief engineer, to all depart
ment heads and division engineers.
The Instructions follow:
"Estimatcs Of State Highway funds
up to November /, 1926, show that
there will be available for new grav-
cling and grading contracts about
$625,OOO to pay Is per cent, the
states share of the cost, or permit
ting total contracts of $500, 900 to
be let carly this srring.. When con-
tracts have been. let 10 the above
mentioned amount to further ;lettin
win be held until The month Of Oc-
tober. In case Of an, Increased gas
tax providing Additional funds in
August, then further lettings may be
held during that month and continue
on through the fall until all prof.
ects now surveyed are under contract
so far az the counties desire.
Many Items Estimated
'ln calculating the allowable grad
ing and graveling contracts to be let
at $500, 900 this spring q number of
estimated items are entered so that
there is apt to be a fluctuation ,0f
available funds one way or the other.
It is estimated that one-half of the
projects to be let this spring will
carry over beyond November I, 1925,
and those carried over will average
half done, for which rs per cent has
been added to the Rmount to be let.
Also Is per cent of the amount still
to be paid on contracts under way
has been added ~ estimated to be
carried over November /, 1926. The
advance payments for the Bureau
have been provided for by MAXI
mum allowance of 100000. Such ad.
vance payments January Is, 1926
amount to approximately 1926, 900
which is immaterial except at times
when the cash on hand is low.
1.-THE low ebb point of cash on hand
will be reached during the month OF
October, at which time federal ad.
! vAnces should be held to minimum
The chief clerk will have his book
keeping department watch the rate
of reduction in the cash balance in
the state treasury during September
and October, and If it should appear
that the cash balance will be wiped
out, such an occurrence will be
avoided BY temporarily suspending
all advance payments for the Bureau
The actual cash must never be ex.

attention that in the fall of 1926 we
were at one time slightly overdrawn
Order Of Preference

New York, Feb. 19.--The whole ma
ton hears of the few dozen Broad
way successes, but the '"flops" are
quietly buried like paupers in a
Potter's field. And there are thou
sands Of these unmarked graves to
every memorial statue.
So it is pretty good idea for the
playwright to have spare profess
sion or two to fall back on when he
sets forth with play in his pocket.
One of Broadway's most interest
ing examples Of such versatility is
William ,Hurlbut.
If his plays fail Hurlbut can al
ways go 'sback to the kitchen" He
can play chef to q hotel or cafe
kitchen with the best of them. In
fact he is doing that right now in .
restaurant on West eighth
street.
!: Just a couple of months ago his
last play. "Chivalry,' blazed for its
few brief hours on the gay white
way and then was carried silently
away. So he secured an interest in
. restaurant and, it is said, he
''throws q wicked MENU"
Hurlbut has tasted success quite
as often as failure. Belasco put on
his first effort, "The Fighting Hope"
and Olga Methersole was starred in
his second drama, "The Strange Wo-
man." He has written half dozen
since then.
But he always has kept his cheffing
talent somewhere Within easy reach.
That's good thing to remember!
But it's q good gamble, even if You
lose.
Dorothy Donnelly and Sigmund
Romberg, who adapted and composed
"The Student Prince" collect $4,000 q
week each quite regularly. Sampson
Raphaelson, who not so long ago
drew down his modest weekly AMOUNT
as a newspaper reporter. free lance
writer and such, now spends the win
ter days in Naples while his play,
"The Jazz Singer" sends him from
$500 q week and up.
And SO it goes. .'a
This daily letteris not inclined to.
ward obituary notices and yet ! feel
that every granddad who reads 4
will read with interest of the death

he? The man who wrote "The Mick

PROCESSION
Dempsey, Tilden, H0rnsby
~ and Jones Combine to
Form Rare Quartet
BY ART CARLSON


Champions in sport, like weather
20 beaten umbrellas. don't, as a rule
mold up very long.
The winning trail is short and fal
from smooth. Keen rivalry and even
kcener competition have made it so
But, in this era Of crown crushing
with its continual string of changing
title-holders. there are at least four
wcarers OF the purple robes that have
stood off The onc0ming hortles quite
successfully.
Champs in Four Sports
refer to Jack Dempsey, Bill Til
den, Rogers Hornsby and Bobby
Jones. Four Of them in as many
sports --boxing, tennis, baseball and
golf.
Dempsey has clung to the top close
to seven years. He's been up there
for longer period than any heavy
weight champion in history, with the
exception of Jack Johnson. The col
ored hoy led the procession slightly
:. more than seven years and three
months. Dempsey should come near
to cqualing the mark especially at
the rate he's going).
Dempsey, in case you don't recall,
won the crown at Toledo July A. 1919.
True. he's defended it but a few
times, the last against Firpo nearly
three years ago. But That's Dcmp-
sey's business. Johnson didn't do
such great amount of battling when
he ruled the pugilistic parapet, either,
if ! remember correctly.
Winner in 1920
Tildcn lcapcd the ilnal barrier 20
the tennis title in 1920. He's sur
passed the field on every occasion
since. Moreover. the lanky Quaker
looks like fair bet yet while. Til
den still needs another victory to tic
the high, mark Of seven straight es-
tablishedA My a fellow named Sears
about 40 years back.
Hornsby, one of the greatest right
handed hitters in all baseball history
first won the National League bat
ting bunting if 1920. the same year
Tilden climbed the dizzy heights.
Like Tilden, Hornsby has been
showing the way all these years. He
has already hung up a new cons ECU
tive record for the old circuit and
now hopes to better Ty Cobb's majo
league mark Of nine in row.
Amateur Title in 1924
Bobby Jones. after many revcrses,
finally blasted his way to the ma
tional amateur crown. That was in
1921. The year previous the Georgia
golfer had won the open title. Last
season he performed the rare deed
of successfully defending his anna
teur laurels. 1t hadn't been done
since 1913. when Jerry Travers turn
ed the trick.
How long will this quartet cling
to the top?
Z Many opinc Dempsey will step out
I the first time he climbs into the ring
(if he ever does). Tildcn, within a
gunshot of defeat several times last
summer. still looks good for few
more whirls. as I've already mention
cd.
Hornsby the Great shows no out
ward signs of caving in; at least not
by his 1926 performance. And the
youthful Jones. though in game
where consistency of effort is more
or less unknown, is dangerous in any
competition. Another win would
place him in class by himself. Some
day the four must give way to the
ever-present group Of challcngers.
But when?
That's another question.

will keep such preference in mind not
only for lettings this spring, but in
all future work with the view toward
improving the most important roads
first, showing a better type of road
and relieving maintenance costs by
graveling, and at the same time dis
tributing the work in all the coun-
ties. Certain counties west Of the
Missouri deserve particular attention.
Lettings may be held up to April
LIST without authorization except such
projects on new routes Of otherwise
apparently subject to unusual delays.
After that date no letting date will
be announced until there is q reason
able assurance that authorization will
exist on the date of the letting.
