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 BY FIRST CONGRESS IN No session of Congress has monopoly on filibustering or time-killing methods. George Washington hud been pffice only four months when found that the work of national islators was slow and tedious. ing to get confirmation of the ap¬ pointment of Benjamin one of the heroes of Stony Point, be naval officer at the port of Sa vunnah, and being forced to 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 ■of Congress that they had agreed to a recess to commence this day and continue until the first Monday of January next, I take the earliest op¬ portunity of acquainting you considering how long and laborious this session has been and the which I presume have produced this resolution, it does not appear to me expedient to recommend any meas¬ ures to their consideration at nresent, or now to call your attention, gentle to raw ran v Red Pepper Rub takes the “ouch" from sore, stiff, aeliing joints.

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. will be done with the best pos¬ 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. . . We are going to give the state the trunk lines and are going to car ry out our construction prgoram on the short lines at the same time. »» men, to any of those ma';t tit in my department which require your ad¬ vice and consent and yet remain to be dispatched. f t Most of the business of thy session was consumed by the consideration of Indian affairs.

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.
