MORE ROAD WORK IN STATES
URGED

Extension and acceleration of
highway construction work in the
various states to give more employ
ment and give it quickly is urged
by Mr.. Thomas H. Macdonald, chief
of the United States bureau of pub
lie roads.
"The state and federal Highway
organizations" said Mr.. Macdonald,
must become the shock troops to
point the entering thrust of the war
against unemployment army which
the Public Works Administration
has been rapidly marshaling into
form and simultaneously driving into
action.
1.-THE creation of employment in
this instance is more important than
efficiency. 1t will be better to have
men work at projects which when
completed will be of permanent val
ne to communities than to use
public funds in relief doles which
yield no returns"
He also emphasized the import
ance of planning highways, to meet
both metropolitan and rural needs,
the coordination of highway trans
portation with other forms, the in
auguration of national campaign
for beautiful highways, and the
launching of activities to eliminate
safety hazards of all kinds on our
highways.

IF it's good enough for Wash

good enough for me. That
George Washington ate apple pies
Is revealed in an interesting
letter written by him in 1779-
interesting because it gives us
Washington in his lighter mood
instead of crossing Delawares and
weathering Valley FORCES. In this
letter he confides to friend that
he has invited two ladies to dine
with him, and he feels that he
should warn them of the scanty
fare available.
Washington's Letter
when the cook has a mind to
cut a figure (Which l presume will
be the case tomorrow, we have
two Beef-steak pyes, or dishes of
crabs in addition, one on each
side of the center dish, dividing
the space & reducing the distance
between dish & dish to about six
feet, which without them would
be near IL feet apart. OF late he
has had the surprising sagacity to
discover that apples will make
pyes; and it's question, in
violence of his efforts, we do not
get one of apples, instead of hav-
ing both of Beef-steaks :"
Those were the days before
cooks could look over the canned
fruits in their larders and choose
recklessly betwe 81 apple pies.

POSTAL DEPARTMENT ECON
OMY

Despite the fact that Postmaster
General Farley was quoted not long
ago as saying furloughs of Post Of
fee Department employees would be
suspended September 80; that all
postal employees jobs were safe and
that the reduced pay would be re-
stored when business picked up,
some 5000 postal workers, most Of
them in the field, were separated
from the service on that day. And
approximately 5000 others are slat-
ed to go later.
This is all part of the govern
ment's nationwide retrenshment
policy inaugurated under the econ
omy act. Before these 5000 per-
sons were separated from Uncle
Sans postal service pay roll, there
were, on June 80 last, appro yimately
100000 postal workers outside of
those in Washington. 1t has long
been known that the present Post
Office Department officials have con-
sidered the post Office field service
overmanned. Since they wore re-
quired to keep expenditures within
appropriations the reduced person
mel was practically forced upon
them,

MEDICAL EXAMINATION OF
SCHOOL CHILDREN

Medical examination of children
in the public schools in the counties,
by the Deputy State Health Officer
each county, was begun soon after
the schools opened this fail. The
plan of concentrating on the Younger
children-those in the lower grades,
with check up examinations in
some of the higher grades-has
been found to be so worthwhile that
it is to be continued, DR.. R. L! Riley,
Director of the State Depart nent of
Health, said, in announcing the ar
engagements for this year.
Though a special effort will be
children, the older ones will not be
overlooked. Any who are in need
of care of this sort and who are
brought to the attention of the
Health Officer by the teacher, and
all of the older children WHO were
scheduled for re-examination this
season, will be examined this year.
Dental clinics for school children
have been established in nearly all
of the counties and in addition to the
medical examination the usual dem
tai clinics will be held Throughout
the year.
''The aim of all of the health SER
vice for children" DR.. Riley said, lis
to protect them from avoids BILE ILL
nesses, and to help them toward
normal growth and development.
Effort is made to discover conditions
that may need care or treatment,
and that would affect a child's
health, if not attended to. Special
attention is paid in the examinations
to the throat, nose, teeth heart,
lungs, vision, hearing, and to the
general health, as indicated by the
weight and the appearance of the
child. 1t is easier to correct unfav-
orable conditions while they are in
the early stages. That is Why
particular effort is made to reach all
of the younger children.
Last year nearly $4,000 children
in the counties had the benefit of
examinations of this sort-over A.
900 in the schools and nearly 5000
at the child health conferences in
the counties, in preparation for their
admission to school, In all cases,
parents were notified of conditions
that needed attention and were
urged to have the corrections made.
THE school records SHOW, DR..
Riley said, that there has been
marked improvement in attendance,
and corresponding decrease in alb
sences from prev entable illnesses.
This has been brought abont thru
the joint activities of the schools,
the parents and the departments of
health. All of us in this group are
partners in the important business
of preparing the children OF today to
meet the responsibilities of life.
Good health in body and in mind for
every one of them, is the ideal we
are striving for

Rulings Made
Will Reduce Number Eli

BREVARD, Aug. 25. Especially.
Brevard's school committee in a
recent business session formulat-
ed several new regulations which
will be followed during the 1888
81 school year which begins
Monday morning, August %.
According to the new regula-
tons visitors will be welcome to
all chapel exercises at the MORN
ing hour but in view of the
crowded conditions existing, par
ents and patrons will be invited
to visit the classrOoms only on
the fourth Friday in each month.
In order to give the better
pupils a chance in athletics, the
committee says, and to discour-
age overgrown boys who attend
school for athletics only, no one
will be allowed to play on team
either as a regular or substitute
player who did not attend school
and make a passing grade on
four subjects during the previ-
Gus half year term.
School work has been democrat
lied to such an extent in the
past, the committee believes, it is
necessary to regulate the date of
athletic games. All such games
with other schools must be play
ed on Saturdays or other holi-
days, according to the new rul-

CHAPTER XVII
A BOUT the middle Of January
AEve received a letter from Irene
Prentiss in New York. One para.
graph Of that letter was des I'D
to change the trenG Of events for
Eve and Dick RAIDER.
"Since you have decided to be-
come a business woman" Irene
wrote, don't you think you should
get more for your money than the
purchase of a few household gadg-
cts you would ultimately buy, any
how? Why don't you invest your
earnings in some Of the stocks that
are so good now? You can build
up a nice little fortune for your.
self and be independent Of your
husband. There Is such a thing
as letting your money work for
you. you know. And think of all
the things you could do with some
extra cash. How about a trip to
Europe. for instance? l want to
go but l certainly don't intend
to spend my hard earned salary
checks on the trip. I've done pretty
well during the last two years.

pect to do even better this year.
Really l wish you would get in
on some of the following which
have been making excellent show
ings-"
Here Irene listed several stocks,
the mere names Of which were ex.
citing to Eve.
She put the letter in her purse
and turned her attention back to
the layout on her desk. Bixby's
had secured the stock Of an orien.
tai rug dealer who was retiring
from business and leaving the city.
The advertising office was draped
with gorgeous Persian rugs and
Marya was aglow with eagerness as
she worked at her drawing board.
Eve smiled as she fastened the
sheets Of copy together with clip.
She always felt a sense of pride
when Barnes entrusted the prepar.
alton of a full page advertisement
TO her. Today she was more than
usually pleased. Oriental rugs
heretofore had been something 10
write about. Now, after reading
Irene's letter, they had become a
definite reality. Some day she.
too. might own such lovely rugs.
THAT evening she scanned the

papers and compared lrene's list
