Chairman Holder of State High¬
way Commission Reveals Five
Great Trans-State Roads
Near Completion
Promise of two complete paved
highways traversing Georgia from
north to south and three Federal Aid
highways running rr»oss Ih-- tate
from east to west in the next five
years and possibly in our years is
made to the people of Georgia
through The Week by John N. Hold¬
er, Chairman of the State Highway
Commission and well known editor
and state official.
Chairman Holder in discussing the
movement being conducted by The
Week and other agencies for the
betterment of Georgia said his de
partmegt will be ready with the
roads when the several projects here-j
to fore outlined for bringing new iri
dustries and improving farm con¬
ditions were carried out.
“We are now working on it defi
jiite program which will bring to
Georgia in five years at the outside
and possibly in four years five trunk
highways crossing the entire state,”
Chairman Holder said.
• • While wo haven’t ns much money
as wow ould desire for building roads
in Georgia we are going to get an in¬
crease when the money now being
used to pay for the deferred Western
and Atlantic warrants becomes avail¬
able for road building purposes. This
money will come from the gasoline
tax and will be turned over to the
highway department after January
7,-t. 1927.”
Chairman Holder agreed that
there at least ten big things that
i ust, be done in Georgia in the next
few years if this state is to move
along progressively and he said one
of the things is to develop the high¬
way transportation system to a point
where it will serve'all sections of the
state.
Much progress has been made in
the last few years, however, and the
department soon will he able to
bring the trunk lines to completion
by connecting up different projects.
4» Under present plans,” he said.
“we will have two complete roads of
progressive type which will traverse
the entire state from north to south.
These roads will not be constructed
the entire route wih the same mate¬
rial as different counties use differ¬
ent kinds of material but they will
b built in a modern and permanent
way. The necessity of providing two
routes from the north to the south
is so great that we want to go them
both finished as soon ns we can.
TIME-KILLING HABIT SET

No session of Congress has

Lachlan McIntosh, Washington, on
September 29, 1789, sent a special
message to the Senate and furnished
a copy to the House, in which he
complained as follows:
“Having been yesterday informed
by a joint committee of both

a recess to commence this day and
continue until the first Monday of
January next, I take the earliest op¬
portunity of acquainting you

imved and we must do the con¬
up work. Whil we are car¬
out these major projects we
are also encouraging and helping
work inother parts of the state
later can be used in north ano
trunk highways.”
Across the state the department
pursuing the same policy, accord¬
to Chairman Holder.
“We are working to connect up
three routes with Fderal Aid
now partly finished and
this is done we will begin on
routes,” he said. One of the
state roads will traverse the
section, and one probably
cross the central section and
will cross the southern part of
state.”
Chairman Holder said much of this
is ready and that some of these
are paved for great distances.
“The connecting work will be done
the next five years,” he continued.

road building materials avail¬
and there will be a network of
roads. We will bring them
to the highest possible state of
These trunk roads, how
wi give splendid highways
will be available for people in
parts of the state!
Chairman Holder said there is no
longer any question about building
roads in Georgia. He said the
overwhelming majority of the people
want to see this road system com¬
pleted and finished as quickly as
possible.
And another thing the people are
alive about is the question of main¬
tenance,” he said. “There is no use
in spending a lot of money on roads
and then let them be ruined because
of luck of proper maintenance. One
of the chief items in our program is
maintenance of all highways on the
State Aid Road System.
Chairman Holder said some of the
cross state roads would be more than
three fourths completed within one
year. He said the highway commis¬
sion will push completion of these
roads but would not do so at the ex¬
pense of the needed short roads
throughout the state now under con¬
struction.

the trunk lines and are going to car
ry out our construction prgoram on
the short lines at the same time. »»

because they can’t control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is often
one of the most simple ailments to over¬

also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a table¬
spoonful in a glass of water before

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turn*
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Gloaay
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound¬
ed, brings hack the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way t#
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound.” You will get a large bot¬
tle of this.old-time recipe improved \SJ
the addition of other ingredients,*a* tins
very little cost. Everybody uses
preparation now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and even¬
ly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush
witn it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application dark, or two, thick your and
hair becomes beautifully
glossy and you look years younger.
