gram includes 1876 miles completed
in the year ended June 80, last, at
a cost of 81, 1,299,000 of which $780,
700 was paid by the federal gov
ernment. other construction is
under way amounting to 1868, 900,
of which $4,000 will be paid by
the United States, on 20.1 addi-
tional miles. Plans have been ap-
proved for an additional 41.6 miles
of highway to cost S2,15s,00o with
S1,217,00O coming from federal
funds. In addition, plans have been
submitted but not approved for
work on 1873 miles of road to cost
SS1 ,661 900. Of this amount the
federal government would pay ST.

The federal-aid highway act of
1914 authorized S500,000,00O in
each of the three fiscal years fol-
lowing the war to assist the states
in developing $4,000, 100000 high
way program which would include
on the regular fed
eral-aid system, on highways in
urban areas where the population
is 5000 or more, and on a federal
aid system of secondary or farm

$4,000 was spent throughout the
country last year under the pro-
gram, S11S,072,000 coming from

ed compensation that might be
voted by Congress for Worlc War
II veterans. 1 don't think this is
fair to veterans.
George has raised a common
question. The section of the act
to which he refers provides that
benefits under the act can be de-
d .cied from any adjusted compch-
.'i-r that &c lgr-ss NAV prov. !e
at any future time. Therefore,
many of the so-called benefits"
are not benefits at oil because ul-
timately, the veteran will pay back
to the government from his bonus
what should have been a free and
unemcumbered benefit.
Congress Itself mas come to this
conclusion. Because of it, Section
1905, to which George took excep-
tion, has been repealed. Apparent
ly George L. has not had an oppor-
tunity to review the amendment to
the Servicemen's Readiustment
Act.
The effect of striking out this
''pay-me-back" provision is that
benefits under the Servicemcn's Re-
adjustment Act (GI Bill have no
relation to any bonus or readiust-
ment pay that may be voted by
Congress at some later date.

STATE BEGINS
ROAD PROGRAM
State Highway Department
Verifes Report of 97-Mile
Building Plan
TO START WORK SOON

The Public Roads Administration
in Washington last week announc-
ed that the Delaware Highway De-
partment now has S4,350,000
highway program under way. The
program will include 97.3 miles of
roadways and an additional ST.
661, 900 project for 1873 miles has
been proposed. Col. William A.
McWilliams, chief engineer of the
State Highway Department, said
the figures on the Delaware feder-
al-aid highway program, announc-
ed in Washington, were probably
correct, but that until he has had
time to analyze the summary is
sued by the administration and de-
termine what it included, he was
not in position to comment on
the figures. Colonel McWilliams
did disclose that the present pro-
gram of the State Highway De-
partment includes the construction
of the 100000 Elsmere railroad
crossing viaduct, connecting Lin
coin and Union Streets with the
Kirkwood dual highway at Els
mere. formerly the Capitol Trail.
Work To start Soon
Work on the Elsmere crossing
elimination, planned before the war
but deferred by war conditions, will
be undertaken as soon as detailed
plans and the agreements with the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad are
completed. Another project includ-
ed in the program is the complete
reconstruction, and widening, with
new foundation highway and as
phalt surface, of Pennsylvania Av-
enue, between Van Buren Street |
and Greenhill Avenue, now under
way. Colonel McWilliams declared |
most of the work included in the
states highway program consists
of reconstruction, widening, repair
ing, and resurfacing, to improve
existing roads and bring the Della
ware arterial highway system back
to its pre-war standard, with i'm
provements to care for the iEcreas-
ed postwar volume of traffic.
Work Being Speeded
Contracts awarded by the State
Highway Department this year ex-
coed by far those awarded last
year at this time, when materials
were scarce and the effects of the
war more acute. eight road and
two bridge contracts have been
awarded with a cost of nearly ST.
100000 this year. A total of 51.50
miles of highways are included in
projects for which contracts were
awarded in the first half of the
present calendar year. Some of
the jobs contracted for this year
included the widening and resur-
facing of the highway from Ellen
dale to Georgetown; resurfacing

it is that whatever is learned
through material sense must be
lost because such so-called knowl-
edge is reversed by the spiritual
facts of being in Science. That
which material sense calls intang-
