THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., THURSDAY, AUG18, 1921
ROAD BUILDING HELD UP BY FREIGHT RATES, STATE DELAYS WORK (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 18. The state highway commission is opposed to any extensive ' program of construction until such time as the railroads "show a disposition to co-operate" by reducing rates, Lawrence Lyons, director, said today. "Road material companies have shown a disposition to co-operate with the state highway commission to reduce the cost of road building and maintenace, but the railroads have not," Mr. Lyons said. "In view of this condition, the commission has gone on
record as opposed to an extensive program of construction until such time as transportation companies will co
operate." Costs More Than Material.
Mr. Lyons pointed out that recently the commission contracted for two sections of Federal aid roads at $37,000 below the engineers' estimates, "proof
in itself that materials aie declining. He cited a situation developing recent
ly at Columbus, where he said the
commission paid $402 for gravel and
the railroad charged $524 to haul it to
CrothereviUe, a distance of about 34
miles.-- -----
Good stone for road work can. be purchased for approximately 80 cents a ton and gravel for 50 cents a ton, Mr. Lyons said, adding: "The railroads
are asking irom 84 cents to $i.zt a ton to transport materials to parts of
the state."

Morning Entrance Into Paeblo Town of Islet a Increased yelping from the mongrel pack might bring them swarming about our car, and we had no experience in dealing with them; no knowledge of their prejudices or language to
trade with. In our haste we circled through the town twice, threading corrals and back yards. Suddenly, the town still tensely silent, we emerged into a shallow plaza. Crossing directly before our lights came a young man, tall and supple, his straight short locks bound with a scarlet fillet, his profile clear and patrician, and over his shoulders a scarlet robe, covering his white cotton trousers. As he passed us," unmoved and stolid, he spoke one word of salutation, and continued on his way across the silent plaza. Simple as was the incident, the flash of scarlet against the blue-black sky, MAN'S BEST AGE A man ia as old as his organs ; he can be as vigorous and healthy at 70 as at 35 if he aids his organs in performing their functions.

the dignity and silence of the Indian, made the climax we had been awaiting. Nothing else happened. But it had been a night whose setting was so sharply defined, its premonations so
vibrantly tense with drama, that only
that little was needed to carve It on our memory. We saw the town later, in broad daylight, swept by an unclean sand-storm, pitilessly stripped of .romantic atmosphere. But the romance was obscured, not ibliterated, for its roots are sunk
Miss Mary Pigman, of Liberty, Ind., was one of several Indiana young
women who attended the weekly pub
lic reception at the White wouse this week. She was introdeced to President Harding by Representative Elliott. After leaving the White House and while walking through its grounds Miss Pigman met "Laddie Boy," the president's . airdale.
