■STATE ROADS I REPORTED IN I GOOD SHAPE *ew Detours Only Inconven- ■ ience, Says Highway J Bulletin. r Considering the unusually changeable weather in the last few weeks, Indiana’s official highways are in better condition this season than they have been any Christmas since creation of the State highway commission six years ago, it was pointed out today by John D. Williams, director. Heavy road traffic is anticipated *or '-'.V'istmas day this year, Williams said, but the satisfactory condition of State highways, in the main, will prove an assurance to holiday vacationists who wish to travel by motor. Reports from field operators to the general offices of the commis sion show practically all the State mileage in excellent condition. Inconveniences to traffic consist chiefly of a few detours necessitated by construction. . In the past month the department eliminated numerous bridge runarounds and detours by completing bridge projects, and additional eliminations are scheduled between now and the first of the new year. “State roads,” says John D. Williams, director, "go into the winter in the best condition since the system started more than six years ago, and the stone and gravel roads of Indiana are carrying more traffic than similar type roads of any State in the Union.” Today's traffic bulletin shows elimination of a detour on No. 1 at Marshfield: on No. 10 through Mecca, and a run-around on the National Road near "Pershing. Surface conditions of roads entering Indianapolis: No. 1 (New Albany Indianapolis, South Bend, Michigan line) —Detour just north of Peru account of dredge ditch. Detour from two miles north of Edinburg to Franklin account of paving, is rough. No. 3 (Richmond. Indianapolis, Terre Haute) —Temporary bridge at six miles west of Richmond. No. 6 (Madison, Greensburg, Indianapolis, Lafayette, Oxford) — about Jan. 1, to pave over bridge at Traders’ Point twelve miles west of Indianapolis; detour marked. Detour at two miles north of Lebanon to Thorntown Road thence north thruogh Thorntown to No. 6. Short detour two and onehalf miles northwest of Thorntown. No. 12 (Vincennes, Spencer, Indianapolis)—Drive carefully at approaches to temporary bridge two miles north of Gosport. No. 22 (English, Paoli, Bedford, Bloomington, Martinsville. Indianapolis)—Closed at a point five miles south of Indianapolis for constructing overhead railroad bridge. Detour is out S. Meridian St. and Three Notch road, thence over one mil© of gravel road to No. 22. Closed between Martinsville and Bloomington and English and Paoli for paving. Through traffic between Martinsville and Bloomington use Nos. 12 and 32. Use old bridge and old road around bridge and road construction two miles sotuh of Bedford. At Paoli take a county road to Grantsburg via Marengo and English. Avoid south of Grantsburg account construction and no detour roads. No. 37 (Indianapolis, Anderson, Muncie) —Using new pavement from 'lndianapolis to Muncie. Detour around bridge construction at Ingalls. Use old No. 11 at junction of II and 37 from tv r o and one-half miles south of Pendleton to where old No. 11 Intersects new State road. Use old bridge at north edge of Yorktown. ' No. 39—(Indianapolis, Rushville, Brookville, Ohio line) —Run-around at bridge construction three miles south of Cedar Grove.

Girls Are Moral, Jane Addams Declares Social Worker Says They Are Exercising Their New Freedom.

Bti United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 24.—The modem girh is not immoral. Jane Addams, nationally known social worker told the United Press today. Seated in a plain rocking chair in the barely furnished reception room of her “Hull House” in the tenement district where she lias spent a lifetime working to uplift the “downtrodden girl,” Miss Addams dismissed with a flourish of the hand and a weary smile all the hullabaloo about the immorality of the modern girl. Smooth speaking, the typical American mother type, she refuses to get excited about the charges of “wildness” hurled at the American girl. “I Know' They’re Not “Just because she paint a little, wears short skirts, bobs her hair, and goes automobile riding with men she does not know very well, is no reason to assume she is immoral.” Miss Addams aid. “I work among them all the time and I can say that the girls I know are not immoral.” And Jane Addams knows most every type of girl. “Hull House,” is situated in Chicago’s ghetto. All kinds of girls come to Miss Addams for advice and help. No Drinking Increase “Girls work around men,” Miss Addams said. “They understand them better. Consequently they are able to cope with most circumstances. And the modern girl can take carp of herself most any time. “As for women drinking, I don’t think that there is one little bit more drinldng among women at present than there was before prohibition." The automobile was blamed to some extent by Miss Addams for what immorality there is. No Worse Than Always “I think that the automobile is one of the reasons for the ‘wildness’ of some girls. Tt has brought about anew consideration. A couple is able to go a great distance away from home to some place where they are not known. Consequently some things are done that should not be done.” “But you don’t think as a general rule the modem girl Is any worse than her predecessor?” she was asked. “Well, we are living under different conditions,” she replied. “We now have a modern world. The Ideas toward women have changed. They are allowed greater freedom, and they are taking advantage of It. “But as for all this talk about Immorality, there’s nothing to It.” FORMER SLAVE DIES Bu Timea Special INDIANA HARBOR, Ind., Dec. 24. —Uncle Tom Berry, colored, 106. former slave, was dead here today. He was a slave in Virginia and refused to be free until after his mas--1 ter’s death, years after the Civil War.

merry. Let us not spoil It by heavy laden religious skies. “People will urge that we forget Santa Claus. Don’t do it. Every child has a right to his merry entrance. People will urge that we do no foolish things at Christmas. Toys and other Ohristmas gifts seems so unnecessary to them. “But it is the toy and the book and the other little unnecessary thing that makes the home ring with laughter. And that Christmas tree with its glitter and its strange fruits. How strangely it changes our day. “Let no home this year come to this marvelous opportunity and find it sad and dreary. If necessary let us do some unusual thing—perhaps some foolish thing—but above all let us make the day a real Christmas Day for children and for their dads and mothers.”

Some 2,000 under-nourished, half-clad kids in the hard coal hills will have proof tomorrow that there is a Santa Claus.

Relief organizations have raised nearly SIOO,OOO that the god of Christmas tide woukl not fall this year.

Puzzle a Day

During the excitement of pocking Christmas presents Mrs. Dorcas damaged a gift. She phoned the village store for a duplicate. As it was not immediately delivered, she sent her son to secure the package. At the same moment that John started, the delivery boy left the store with the parcel. His wagon passed John 950 feet from his home. Although each boy wasted five minutes at his destination they met again 200 yards from the village store. Mrs. Dorcas now had one duplicate and the prospect of another. If both boys traveled at an even pace how far fromthe store did Mrs. Dorcas live? Last puzzle answer: g / “Ue + -/! Jc^. j j* “ / f / The fly had crawled 30 feet up the middle line of the building. Since the fly flew straight down to the bread. The crust, point A, and the fly form a right triangle. Crust to A Is one side and is 40 feet long. Fly to crust Is the hypotenuse and is 50 feet long. Therefore 50 times 50 equals 2,600 minus (40 times 40) 1,600 equals 900. The square root of 900 is 30.
