ROAD PROGRAM IN IOWA

Minnesota motorists and good roads
boosters are watching with interest
the legislation pending in the Iowa
legislature. Three proposals are be-
fore the session. The first is to put
all the primary roads under state
control, under a plan similar to the
Minnesota plan. At present all prim-
airy roads in that state are under
county control and dependent on coun-
tt financing, but under supervision OF
the state highway commission. The
second proposal is to increase the gas
oline tax from 2 to cents and the
third is to submit the question of a
$1OO,0O0,O00 highway bond issue to
the voters in 1928.
Iowa has the reputation of having
the most cars per capita and the worst
roads of any state in the west CEN
trail region. If the proposed plans
go through, Iowa will in few years
be far ahead of Minnesota in paved
road mileage. This will be welcomed
by motorists who make frequent trips
through the Hawkeye state, but
it may force Minnesota to get busy
if it want to keep up its reputation
as leading good roads state.
Arkansas is starting work this year
on a four year state highway pro-
gram, calling for expenditures of $751;
100000. This is to be financed by
issuing S13,OOO,OO0 of state notes a
year. About 80 per cent of the money
will go into concrete, the balance in
to gravel roads. The program calls
for 1000 miles of paving in four
years. The notes will be retired by
the proceeds of the license and gas
taxes, the latter being cents gal
Ion. Arkansas also has a tax on lub-
ricating oil.
A proposal for a S12O,000,000 high
way bond issue is before the Missouri
legislature. Missouri has nearly COM
pleted the program started under a
recent $6O,OOO,O0O bond issue. The
state paved 513 miles in 1926, bring
ing the total paved mileage to about
1,500.

SECOND FRIEDL VICTIM
DIES LAST WEDNESDAY

Within a few hours after Lester
j. Friedl, 304 Harvard street south
east, had been arraigned in municipal
court in st. Paul for failure to stop
his automobile after an accident, Mrs.
Thomas Kelly of DeGraff, one of the
two accident victims, died at the
Ancker hospital in ST. Paul, Wednes-
day afternoon.
Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Mary Ryan,
81 north Oxford street, ST. Paul, were
struck by Friedl's car at Oxford street
and Summit avenue, st. Paul, on Feb.
%. Mrs. Ryan died within few
minutes after the accident. Two wO-
men and another man, whose identity
is withheld by ST. Paul police, are
alleged to have made statements We'd
nesday which indicate falsities in
Friedls earlier reports.
After arrangement Wednesday
Fried was released under $1,000
bonds with trial set for March Is.
c.. d. O'Brien, Ramsey county attor-
ney, declared that the case would be
brought before the grand jury.-Min-
neapolis Tribune.

police court in st. Paul on a charge
of failure to stop after the accident
and entered plea of not guilty and
was bound over to the district court.
He was represented in court by two
attorneys and motion made to dis
miss the case because grand jury
had returned no bill against him on
the same charge was denied by the
Judge. 1t is understood that two
damage suits have been brought
against Friedl for $500 each by
relatives of the two women who died
from the njuries.-Fairfax Standard.

CHINA LEARNS OF CHOP sUEY

The young bloods of Peking are
having their first taste of chop suey
and they pronounce it good.
When Americans go into China
town in New York, San Francisco or
Los Angeles or other cities which can
boast of Chinatown, they think they
are having "Chinese food" when they
eat chop suey. As a matter of fact,
the dish is unknown in China, except
in a few semi-foreign restaurants.
1t was invented" so to say, in an
American railroad camp more than
half a century ago, and named there.
Some cook for Chinese workmen
threw in little of everything, and
gave the dish a new name.
Picking, however, takes kindly to
chop suey. The new restaurant which
serves the dish is on Morrison street,
near the legation quarter and less
than half mile from the Forbidden
City. There, at the hour, and at night,
may be found motley assortment
of "young China" that is, students,
students returned from abroad, their
playmates their wives and sisters.
Young Chinese blades of Picking do
the Charleston there. Pretty Chinese
girls with unbound feet, bobbed hair,
and short skirts are their partners.
They eat chop suey, laugh over the
idea of America calling it Chinese
dish, and have gay times similar to
the times which "young America" en-
joys in its cabarets.-A, Peking Cor
respondent in the Kansas City Star.

Some of the players who slammed

Sequin Golf club is very near the

ing held Tuesday evening. Due to
the excellent condition of the course
and the moderate dues there has
been an unusua! number Of applica-
tions and the membership is over

increase in membership, the course
is uncrowded and the directors have
voted to keep the membership at
such a limit that it will not be neces-
sary to limit starting times. etc.
One OF the great advantages at
Sequin has been that it is always
possible, even on Saturday afternoon
and Sunday. to play the course with
out undue delay or crowding and to
make up matches at the club for the
single player. 1t is essentially a golf
