WOMEN BREADWINNERS

The silly notion that in hard
times married women ought to
be deprived of their jobs so that
fathers of families could get
work is q long time dying. Per.
haps a recent study of the situa.
ton, printed in Harper's Maga.
zine will help to kill it.
This article quotes a survey
made in a New England factory
to see whether displacing the
married women employees would
be socially desirable. 1t was
found that 40 per cent of the
married women were the sole
bread winners in their families.
Their husbands we're out of work
or sick. or dead; their earnings
we're all their families had to
live on.
Similarly. study of $4,000
Pennsylvania families ia whic b
married women had full or part.
time jobs showed that % per
cent depended on the woman for
support. And in fully SO per
cent of the "a. 900 families the
wife's salary was an indispens.
able part of the family income.
The married woman usually
works because she must and not
because she likes to. It's time
we recognized the fact.

LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE

1t is. recorded that some few

he said, be had com pleted the

need. But England is still build
ing roads.
There are those in the United
States today who apparently
take the attitude that America
having spent a good many mil
lion dollars on highways can af
ford now to take q vacation and
put its money into other projects
that we do not need to keep re
building to higher standards.
There is perhaps as much
folly in their viewpoint as 10
that OF the Eoglish engineer.
1t is recalled that a third of q
century ago America bad

transportation system, greatest
in the world. 1t way in excellent
condition and it's equipment was
ideal. But railroad standards
have changed. What was good
in 1900 is more than obsolete
today. Road beds have been com.
pletely rebuilt, equipment has
been entirely replaced and opera
ton methods are entirely new.
Three great roads even now are
taking in terms of light one
hundred mile an.hour trains.
The same thing will happen to
the highways. Not so very
many years hence we shall look
back on our present sytems as
infants in their swaddling
clothes. Ever increasing re
quirements to meet the demands
for speed and added loads must
be fulfilled, and safety must be
considered. Already there has
been proposed two way, two

They went to the houseboat
and Mayes took "Jiggs." the ban
tam, and tossed him into the

"Bill' made a dive for the
fioundering "Jiggs," grabbed one
of his wings in his beak, and Ia
boriously pulled the rooster to

STATE AID ROAD BONDS.

BY a vote of 10 to 13 the House
Wednesday afternoon passed Re
preventative Prices bill to author
ize the State to pay the county
highway improvement bonds and
State-aid road bonds that fall due
during the next two years. 1t
specifies that the money for this
purpose shall be taken from the
fund of the State Highway Depart
ment. The bill is designed to re-
lieve the taxpayers in each of the
three counties of all road taxes.
The maturities will aggregate at
about S280,OOO a year. Mr.. Price
pointed out that heretofore the
money for this purpose has been
taken from the general fund and
he said they know that fund is at
present "in bad shape" Represen-
tative Van Solver said the intent
of the bill was a good one but he
reminded the House the Senate has
passed a bill to do the same thing,
but it provides the money shall
come from the sinking fund, which
is the plan he favored.

FIRE DESTROYS

Building at Ellis Grove Set
AblaZe by Stoves After
Easter Rehearsal
ESTIMATE LOSS AT $4,000

Fire believed to have been caus-
ed by sparks from fires in wood
burning stoves in st. Andrews
Episcopal Church, at Ellis Grove,
five miles from Laurel, destroyed
the church at $50 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon with a loss estimat-
ed at $4,000. Rehearsals were held
in the church Thursday afternoon
in preparation for the Easter pro-
gram, and fires had been kindled.
About 80 minutes after the rehear-
sails neighbors saw flames leaping
from the doors and windows of the
church. There was no available
water supply and the neighbors
made no attempt to fight the
flames, but were able to save the
contents of the building. The Laurel
firemen were also unable to do any
thing to save the church, but stood
by to prevent spread of the fire.
The church, a small one-story
frame structure, burned rapidly. It
was erected in 1888 by the Rev.
George Johnson and contained
much valuable furniture and docu-
ments. For many years it had a
thriving existence but had been
closed for a number Of years. Last
fall the church was reopened by
the Rev. r. Y. Barber.

COMPILED BY ED-MAXI

| Karen Morley is to play opposite
Richard Dix in his newest picture

Wallace Beery and Marie Dres-
sler are teamed together once
again. This time they will be seen
in "Tugboat Annie" Work on
which has started in full at the
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios.
Warner Brothers have loaned
Loretta Young to the M-G-M
studios for the lead in Midnight
Lady" opposite Franchot Tone.
Jesse L.Lasky and the Fox Com
pany are clamoring for the services
of Jean Harlow to play the lead
ing role in THE Worst Woman in
Paris" which they say is just suit
ed for this platinum-haired siren.
George Kaufman may be Eddie
Cantor's director for his next pic
ture" "Androcles and the Lion" If
Sam Goldwyn can induce Mr. Kauf-
man into the picture business with
all probability he will direct Eddie.
Baby Leroy, who has made such
a hit at the Paramount studio,
where he played with Maurice
Chevalier in "a Bedtime Story, !"
has been signed to play the lead
with Charles r. Rogers in THE
Baby in the Ice Box"
Marlene Dietrich in ''The Song of
Songs" wears the largest changes
Of dress ever to be shown in one
picture. She wears 26 different
gowns ia this picture.
Peggy Hopkins Joyce has finally
been signed to appear Oh the
screen in Paramount's "Interna-
tional House,
Sally Eilers has a new contract
with Fox. Those Of you who saw
her in Bad Girl" Dance Team"
and Sailors Luck" with James
Dunn, will be able to see some
more screen hits by this team.
Hollywood has found a new hero
this time it is Franklin d. Roose-
welt. He has been hailed by all
as the man who gives them Faith
in their banks, salaries and careers.
They have all had the quivvers
since 1929 and now they want to
build a bathing pool for him.
Now that the Janet Gaynor-
Lydell Peck and Marion Nixon
Edward H. Hillman fare-up has
been settled by divorces being
granted, wonder, as well as Holly
wood, what split-up will be the
next.
Helen Hayes, the finest young
actress in years to hit Hollywood,
has scored a big success for her
self in "The White Sister," her
latest.
In To-day We Live" Joan Craw-
ford shows her right to be called
a great actress. She has out-done
any of her previous successes here.
But, Oh My! When we think of
her in Rain, it gives us the jit-
ters, and so we sign off until next

Find Traces of Ancient
Indian City in Missouri

Springfield. Mo.-Evidence of an
Indian city having an estimated
population of several hundred thou
sand has been discovered here by
Rev. S. P. Newberry, an archie
ologist.
Mr.. Newberry found traces of the
city while exploring a cave in which
were a group of ancient stone idols.
In the opinion of the archeologist,
the city definitely is connected with
the cave, as he found blocks Of
stone of the same shell formation
as that of which the idols were
formed
The stone is not native to this
region. The blocks found were
about II by IA inches in size, and
easily could have been carried by a
man.
Mr.. Newberry estimated the num-
Der of mounds at about 1000. He
opened none on his first explora-
ton trip, and was unable to state
the percentage which were burial
mounds and those which were
formed by the crumbling Of the
adobe lodges, which he believes
formed the principal structures Of
the city.
The city is about four miles long
and a half wide, with the mounds
placed closely together. The mounds
are about fifty feet in diameter and
four feet high.
