STATE TO SPEND
LARGE SUM FOR

ders, making them six feet wider
than at present.

gram for Imperial county is one of
the results of legislation giving the
south three TO four miles of roads
to the north's one mile This ra-
ito gives the southland 633 miles
to the north's I'll. The legislation
was brought about after the discov-
cry that Northern California was
getting a lions share Of road ap-
propriations, il is explained. The
bill bringing this action is known
as the Kline Edwards bills.
Imperial Valley has many miles
of desert roads which are not local
and because of this fact commit
tees of various organizations were
unable to bring about the inclusion
of the following roads in the sec
ondary road program: the North

OF the state highway system.

New York-Few girls succeed in making their living out of the air, That is why all air-minded girls look up when a new air post opens possibilities of employment to girls, no matter how limited are the numbers taken.
 Such a new field of venture for girls comes with the installation of hostesses on passenger trans port lines. England has just start ed using airmaids on the Imperial -Airways between London and Paris. Japan has installed hostesse on her main passenger line. Three American lines now have corps of airmaids who serve in the capacity of social hostesses, social entertain CTS and waitresses to the passen- gers.
 She's Flying Waitress.
 Of the eight airmaids on the Eastern Air Transport Company's lines from New York to Richmond, only one holds limited commer- cial pilots license. She Is Beulah .Unruh, the flying waitress. the girl who won acclaim last year when it became known that while she waited table in restaurant for ner liVlng, she spent ner ups learn ing how to fly.
 The rest of the eight are re- cruited not from among pilot or among girls who have any desire to pilot plane, not from colleges or society ranks, but from girls with an army background behind them. daughters, wives, sisters of army men. These girls, so says the woman in charge of the air maids, sem to be able to put up with emergeicies betted than the average girl. are able to get along with variety of people without being upset or superior. are very adautable and understand what it means to be of service.
 Each week all of these girls fly one day to Richmond and back and the following day twice to Washington and return and have the third day off. Costumes are furnished them by the company.

gers, with mirror and the maxings for a new complexion, so they can greshen up before leaving the plane.
 They're Air Beauties.
 The main requirements for such a position seem to be personality, air-worthiness, and a wholesome genial quality that makes a girl a natural hostess. Appearances are no guide at all, yet no line takes any girl who is not young and good looking. But just looks alone do not suffice. Quality is demanded. becauset hostess on an air line must be the high class type of person who just naturally inspires confidence.
 There probably never will be many airmaids in America. But the fact that this new line of air. plane work utilizes women opens up the possibility that other ways may develop in which big air com- panies can eventually hire more women.

 "Consequently there wosld be no benefit to the operators, to the mine workers, to the state or to the communities largely depend- ent upon mining operations"
 Yesterday in a second letter te the industrial commission the com pany directly reversed its stand by giving 3 0days notice that because of Competitive and business con- ditions beyond the control of the company" the basic wage scale of its mines would be reduced from $6.25 to $5.25 per day.
