Work On 10 Is
Going Forward
At Rapid Pace
WPA Project For Two Miles
Construction To Mouth of
Laurel Is Started.
BRIDGE COMPLETED

Construction on highway num-
Der Is is now going forward at
a rapid pace and in spite of the
increased amount of work on
this road, traffic is being main
tanned better than at any time
since last fall
Under the sponsorship of the
State Highway Commission, a
WPA project, calling for the
grading and surfacing of the two
miles from the end of the present
four-mile private contract pro-
ject at Clifton to the Mouth of
the Laurel at Fig.
A large crew of WPA men
started work on this new project
last week. Tom Pennington is
general foreman. Paul Rotten is
project foreman and Alvin Hart
Sog is his assistant. Tuesday 40
men were assigned to the project
and others are expected to be ad-
ded at once.
To speed up the grading work,
the State Highway Department
placed a shovel on the job few
days ago.
Preparatory to hard surfacing,
the Blythe Brothers Construction
Company's crew have been busy
machining the four miles which
were graded last fall and dur
ing the winter months. Stone is
also being crushed and piled up
and Surfacing will commence in
the near future, it is stated.
Construction on the new bridge
across New River has been COM
pleted. B. w. Jones, county WPA
supervisor, states that this bridge.
built with WPA labor, is one of
the most beautiful and finest in
this section and that it was con-
structed at a good less than was
originally set up for it.

superintendent, states that the
present quotas have been filled
for some time and that she now

val is made entirely on the ba-
sis of need. She says that from
time to time her department re-
checks the cases that are approx
ed to receive checks each month,
to determine their status at all
times.
Last year the county also re-
ceived several thousand dollars
from the equalization fund which
helped to pay the county's part
of this expense.
The eligibility requirements for
old age assistance are: first, ap-
plicant must be over IS years of
age, must have lived in this
state for two of the past five
years and one year preceding

tons are investigated and ap-
proval made on basis of need.
The requirements for aid to
dependent children are: the child
must be under Is years of age,
must have lived in the state for
one year before application, etc.
Aid to the blind is the other
activity of the public assistance
program. At the present time
there are Z on this list and the
estimate request made for next
year was 7.
The budget request has to be
approved by state and federal Of
ficials before the commissioners
can take definite action.

Much Excitement
Caused By Fire
Blaze Discovered In Linen
Room OF w. J. Hotel
Monday Night.

Much excitement was caused
Monday night by the fire on the
second floor of the West Jeffer-
son Hotel which was discovered
at 1920, after it had gained much
Roadway in the linen room.
The fire department was called
into action and soon had the
blaze under control, before much
damage was caused. Due to the
unusual amount of smoke, many
of the occupants of the hotel be-
came frightened and rushed out
with their belongings.
The origin of the fire was not
discovered, but it is believed that
it originated among floor wax, oil
and other cleaning supplies stor-
ed in the linen room.
Another small fire was discov-
cred in the hotel on Saturday
when ia magazine and curtains
were accidentally set on fire by
a lighted cigarette.

right much money and regard
available for that purpose" Mr..
Scott said. ''Our prime objective
now is to pay our debts"
One or more WPA sewing
rooms have been operated con-
tinuously in the county since
1885. A few months ago the
sewing rooms at Lansing and
Crumpler were closed and con-
solidated with the one at Jeffer-
son.
In these sewing rooms all kinds
of garments have been made and
turned over to the welfare de-
partment for distribution to the
needy families through the sur
plus commodity division, of
which Miss Ruth Tugman is di-
rector.
The Ashe sewing room has
been turning out between 800 and
900 garments each month and
the records show that a grand
total of over $4,000 garments
have been made in the county
since the project was started.
These garments include dress
es, underwear, mems and boys
shirts, slips, gowns, pajamas, ov-
erals and so on.
The workers receive $24.6O for
1913 hours work per month. The
sewing machines are furnished
by the WPA.

closing of the Ashe sewing room
project would not stop the coun-
ty from receiving regular ship

Seek Low Cost Feed
For State Cattlemen
Maryland Distillers Supply Free
Grain For Maryland Univer-
sity Experiment With New
Fodder For Stock and Dairy
Herds.

Experiments which may revolution
ize the fattening of beef cattle and
the feeding of dairy stock have been
made possible by the Association of
Maryland Distillers and Allied Indus
tries, in cooperation with the Mary
land Experiment Station, and are
under way now in the Animal and
Dairy Husbandry Department of the
University of Maryland. Professor
Kenneth C. keller, head of this de-
partment, made announcement of The
experiments today. He said they
would be continued until next May 1,
at which time, it is hoped, conclusive
results may be available for the in
formation of the cattle feeders and
dairy farmers of the State.
The experiments are to determine
the extent, if any, to which other
grains may be replaced with wet and
dried rye grains, by-products of the
distilling industry, in the feeding of
cattle and dairy cows. These by
products have been supplied for ex-
detrimental purposes by members of
the distillers' association without
charge and are always available in
large quantities at various distilleries,
at nominal price or free to those who
will haul them away.
Distillers' rye dried grains are high
in fibre content as compared with
homegrown grains but lower in
digestible nutrients, having approx
mately rs per cent those of No. 2
corn, 80 per cent those of barley, and
SO per cent those of oats. Yet this
same feed is much higher in its con-
tent of protein and fat than any of
these feeds.
Professor Fred H. Leinbach is in
charge of the test feeding of four lots
of 10 cattle each.
The feeding trials will continue for
$50 days, when the cattle will be
slaughtered and data obtained to de-
termine the fattening qualities of each
of several combinations of concen-
trates fed.
