MllMhnMiMnnrn* HIGHWAY BUILDING TOPS 22,000 MILES New Year's Record Is Set for United States. Washington.?More than 22,000 | miles of all classes of highway were completed In the fiscal year 1937, topping the former rfecord of 21,700 miles in 1934, the bureau of public roads of the Department of Agriculture reports. The averuge for the past four years under emergency appropriations to provide employment to those on relief rolls has been about 20,000 miles a year. "Although the volume of such work remained large, the year was definitely a period of trans:!ton from on emergency program to the more normal federal-aid road construction operations," the bureau stated. "Emergency funds available for new projects were reduced to a small remainder at the end of tin? year. Considerable emergency \w>rk under construction was carried over into the pew year and when this is completed the emergency program will have been practically concluded." Near-Normal Program Scope. The more nearly normal program includes $123,000,000 for improvement of the federal-aid system, $25,000,000 for secondary or farm tomarKet roads and $50,000,000 for elimination of hazards at grade crossings in the flsfcal years 1938 and 1939. Funds for federal-aid and secondary roads must be matched by the states, but the funds for elimination of crossing hazards are direct grants. I Grade crossing work In the fiscal year 1937 established a new record, with 1,149 eliminations, of which 1,086 were financed under the $200,000,000 program authorized by the emergency relief appropriation act of 1935 Also 196 existing grade separation structures were reconstructed and 574 crossings were protected by safety devices. In road building 18,768 miles were constructed with funds apportioned to the states and the work was done in co-cperation with the state highway departments. At the end of the year 11,274 miles of road, to take $268,445,582 of federal funds, were under contract and 2,074 miles, involving $36,542,365, had been approved but not yet contracted for. U nob! i g a t eel balances available for new work totaled $232,053,608, in large part newly apportioned funds for the fiscal year 1938. Inter-American Progress. The bureau said that work on the 3,250-mile Inter-American highway extending from Nuevo Laredo on the Texas border to Panama City, had continued with increased momentum, impassable gaps having been reduced to about 560 miles. Improvements also were completed on 139 miles of the Forest highway system, bringing the total improved with federal funds to 6,593 miles. In national park^, parkways and monuments 169 miles of roads were completed, bringing 'the total to 1,293 miles. . The bureau said that large volumes of traffic between densely populated localities had created a demand for wide, multiple-lane highways with opposing traffic separated by a center parkway, but that it was "not readily apparent how any large mileage of such highways might be financed." The most practical way, it suggested, might be payment of tolls. Physicians Graft Bone Using Carpenter Tools Philadelphia.?Physicians at Osteopathic hospital here were forced to set aside surgical instruments and use a set of carpenter tools to perform a delicate bone grafting operation. Mrs. Lillian Tap pin, sixty years old, suffered a broken arm in an automobile accident about a year and a half ago. The bone never set right because of injured nerves. Drs. Edward G. Drew, Carl Prey ' and Robert Warden used a cold chisel, hammer, electric saw and drill to take a piece of bone from her right leg and graft it to her useless arm. With the saw, the physicians cut ' away two grooves in the woman's leg parallel to the shin bone. They used the chisel and hammer to lift out a splinter of bone six inches long and a half-inch thick Cord of Wood Changes in Crossing State Line Moorhead, Minn ?What the citizens of Moorhead and Eargn, N D would like to know is?how much is a cord of wood? Complaints reached officials of the adjoining towns concerning discrepancies in the measurement of sav\ed and split wood The o.Teials looked into the problem and found the cause of complaints. The Minnesota law calls for 128 cubu ft i: when the wood is cut in tour-f'?>i lengths, 160 cubic (Vrt if sawed under 4 feet, and 176 ubic feet if sawed and split. But in Kargo the law specifies 128 cubic feet as a cord, and the only other requirement is that if sawed iron twenty-inch lengths 150 cubic feet must be delivered 'H.1 I X Lights of New York by L. L. STEVENSON Talking with Billy Swanson, learned that one way to start as an orchestra conductor is to enter the practice of law. A native of Boston, Swanson graduated from Harvard with a lot of honors, including : the presidency of the all-university body. Having decided to make luw his profession, he took counsel with his father as to means of making a success. The futher advised him to specialize in cases that looked hopeless. Young Swanson did so, won three cases and at the end of two years, retired from the law with a capital of $174,000. In college, he played in various orchestras. In passing, it might be mentioned that Eddie Duchin was one who played with him. So when he was through with law, he organized an orchestia of his own and is now the maestro of the Green Koom of the Edison. A chance encounter with a friend, who is a volunteer fireman in one of the commuting towns, revealed the fact that occasionally the boys have a lot of fun at their gatherings. It seems that at a recent dinner one of the firemen became offended because three steins of beer had been poured down the back of his shirt. So he picked up a beer bottle and bopped a brother fireman in the eye. The result was a closed eye, a broken nose and a cut in the forehead, the wounds being of such a nature that the fireman was taken from the party to a hospital. The humor of the whole thing seems to lie in the fact that the fireman who got bopped was not the one who poured the beer. The other evening at a little party in an uptown apartment a young wife turned pale and informed her husband that they had to go home immediately. Something had happened, she explained, though she couldn't tell what. Instead of arguing, the husband called a taxi immediately. With unusual traffic breaks, the trip across town was made in less than half the ordinary time. On their arrival, they found their apartment had been looted. An open window indicated an escape by the prowler by means of the fire escape. Wedding presents, jewels and furs of considerable value had been taken. The wife was most concerned over the loss of a lavalier, however. The husband called the police. A radio alarm was sent out and because of fast action, the jobber was caught on the roof and his loot recovered. The lavalier was a death-bed gift to the young wife from her mother. t A little clot of men and women stood in front of the window of an Eighth avenue pet shop watching police dog puppies. The lithe, alert little fellows were having a lot of fun in the torn paper on the floor of their pen. One, however, didn't take part in the sport. Instead he walked slowly around the window, stopping now and then to peer into the face of an observer and wag his tail furiously. Each time he passed on to another watcher as if disappointed. But his tail didn't stop. "Poor litlle feller," remarked a burly truck driver. "He's tryin' to wag himself a master." 0 0 * Speaking of dogs, the other afternoon while strolling along Central Park West, I noticed a young woman leading a dog which looked as if a hard breathing, fat, boyhood memory had come to life?a pug such as was so popular in another generation that plaster casts adorned whatnots. As I passed, I heard the pug owner remark to a companion, "Never before in my life had I seen a live pug and it was so homely that I just had to buy it." 0 0 In one of those swanky cocktail lounges, a woman became engaged in an argument with a younger woman. Finally the older exclaimed, "Priscilla, if you don't come home with me right away, big as you are, I'll take you across my knee and spank you!" Priscilla and her mother departed at once. 0 0 0 At the second night performance of "I'd Rather Be Right," an autograph hound was busily pursuing celebrities and was doing rather well in obtaining signatures. Suddenly, he lot out a yell. Some one had walked away with his fountain pen When last seen, he was still holding a lodge of sorrow. ? Bel) Syndicate.?WNU Service.
