RUSSIA IS DYING FROM STARVATION (Continued from page one) weeds and grass and in a voice so weak as scarcely to lie audible, she told how she ground these into a make shift flour, samples of which looked and smelled like chaff from a threshing machine. In her hut. she mixed this with water and produced a blackish mess which looked like bran manure. ’’l can live on this for a few weeks more,” she said, ‘‘but the children can't.” Through empty streets, we passed long rows of silent long cabins, snow banked. Our sleigh bells jingled vainly; there were no dogs, no children. Only the awful silence. In some of the cabins we found families lying motionless—conserving their energy, prolonging a hopeless existence, doggedly awaiting death. Too weak to cut fuel, they must freeze to death if starvation has not already claimed them when their supply or wood is gone. Extinction of life already has reached an advanced stage in the little vil- ! lages of tlie interior where tiny settlements are returning to their state [of emptiness of fourteen hundred ; years ago. Ninety-eight villages we visited, in 1 fifteen tlie inhabitants were eating ! the last of their dogs. Live stock has 1 practically disappeared, yet when i these people killed and ate their horses, they cut off their only means lof transporting food. When the last i of the horses is dead, the doom of all living things in Kazan is sealed.

INDIANA ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE n y I, ’• Sum of .$4,000,000 Expended on Maintenance of Highways in the State r DURING YEAR, 1921 y i Concrete Bridges Cost $6 B Square Foot, and Steel r Bridges Cost $5. [1 . ? Indianapolis, Jan. 5. — (Special to 1 Daily Democrat). —Maintenance of r roads in Indiana during 1921 cost $3,- ’ 500,000 more than in the previous f year. The total amount spent was . $4,000,000. 1 One million dollars more was spent , for construction. The bill for 1921 1 was $3,349,000. : Contracts that were let by the old commission in 1919 and 1920 and paid s this year were largely responsible for these increases. Materials then were J at peak prices. If these contracts had been made this year they would have • cost twenty-five percent, less. ! Forty-six miles of roads were laid in ; 1921 than in 1920. About eighty-one : miles were completed during the year. ’ This year’s construction program is i indefinite now but the commission intends to complete the National road from the Eastern to the western boundaries. This will fill in gaps left between Indianapolis and Terre Haute. During 1921 surveys were made of 242 miles of road to receive federal aid at a cost of $761132 a mile while 186 miles of plans prepared cost $81.93 a mile. The average cost of surveying 158 miles of state aid roads was $106.24 a mile and plans made cost $75 a mile. Thirty-eight bridges erected cost $87,000. Concrete bridges cost $6 a square foot as compared with $9 in ; 1920 and steel bridges cost $5 a square foot as compared with SB. > — WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s |_4_4_WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s
