MORE THAN 21,000 MILES OF NEW HIGHWAYS ADDED TO WISCONSIN'S SYSTEM Milwaukee U.P.) More than miles of new highways were added to state road systems during the past calendar year, W. C. Mark-ham, executive secretary, told members of the American Association of State Highway Officials at their 19th annual convention today. Markham pointed out that there are 373,000 miles of road in the United States.

Hard surfaced roads put down, he said, kept ahead of the new roads opened, 23,000 miles having been laid. He told delegates that states are improving their highways at a rapidly increasing pace. "Past year state systems averaged 40 per cent improvement of their total miles of road," he said. "This year the average is 50 per cent. "New Hampshire is the state making the best showing for surfacing of all roads in the state with 28 per cent surfaced and Connecticut is second with 27 per cent.

The total mileage or roads in these two states is but .08 of 1 per cent of all roads in the United States, however." The fact that congress provided $400,000,000 to be spent on highways when it passed the NRA proved, Markham said, that, it recognized road work as a quick and economic method of aiding the unemployed.

CHICAGO DRY LEADERS TO COOTIE CONTEST Chicago W) Far from being daunted by the swing of states toward national prohibition repeal, local dry leaders, in some instances representing national organizations, today said they would continue the fight even though liquor returns. Declaring that "prohibition is merely suffering a temporary cllDse, Dr. George B. Safford, su- Berintendcnt of the Anti-Saloon lrigue of Illinois, said he would work lor a campaign program dopted recently by the national board of the league.

It principal polntei arr: To hold tf. regain etata and local prohibition An essay contest for pupils from the fourth to the eighth grades inclusive in public and parochial schools of the city will be a feature of the observance of Fire Prevention week.

The subject matter will be considered as the basis of merit, rather than English composition. One prize for the best essay turned in for each grade will be awarded. There will be five (1 prizes. THOUSANDS IN CITY There will be several thousand fire inspectors in the city during this week. "I request every citizen of Oshkosh to accept my 'appointment' of him as a fire inspector in his own home," said Fire Chief George J.

Revland today. "I can think of no other task more important than inspecting homes to eliminate fire dangers. Go through your house from top to bottom. "Look over your heating plant. Is it ready for efficient and safe service this winter? Many fires originate from defective and dirty equipment.

Any combustible material nearer than two feet should be protected by asbestos. Don't force your furnace. Don't put hot ashes into wooden boxes or paper cartons. Don't permit rubbish or paper to accumulate in the cellar, attic, or anywhere else. BE SURE OF WIRING "Be sure your electric wiring Is safe.

Watch for oil or paint-soaked rags or mops that have been left about carelessly. They cause spontaneous combustion fires. "One of the largest causes of fires is the careless use of matches and smoking materials. There Is less danger of a careless act in disposing of these hazards if receptacles for receiving that match or cigaret stub are kept handy. "Your house should be constructed to resist a fire long enough to get your family out in safety and until the fire department arrives.

Keep a fire extinguisher in your home, and, of course, removal of hazards in your place of business is Just as important as in the home. Our task is to make Oshkosh a safer place in which to live." OBSERVANCE OF LIEF ER1KS0N DAY URGED BY GOV. SCHMEDEMAN Madieon (IP) Wisconsin today honored the memory of Leif Erik- son, heroic Norseman, officially recognized in this state as the first of the white men to reach American soil. Observance of the day by the schools and the citizens at large was requested by Gov. A.

G. Schmedeman in a proclamation, In which he said: "In the year 1003 A. Leif Erik- son, an heroic and intrepid Norse man, came with his followers from Greenland to the eastern shores of this continent, the first white man in recorded history to set foot up on American soil. "Although his discoveries were not followed by exploration and settle' ment, his Journey arouses our pro foundest admiration and respect. The legislature of Wisconsin having designated the 9th day of October as "Leif Erikson day" and having suggested that appropriate exercises be held on that day, "Now, therefore, Albert G.

Schmedeman, governor of Wisconsin, ask all of our citizens to give due honor to this great man, and all schools of the state by appropriate instruction and exercises to commemorate the principles and ideals fostered by Leif Erikson and his devoted followers." FEWER YOUNG PEOPLE DIE FROM HEART DISEASE Indianapolis (T) Fewer young women and children are dying of heart disease now, but the mortality rate for men between 25 and 45 years old has increased slightly, it was reported today to the 62nd annual convention of the American Public Health association. Dr. Louis I. Dublin of New York City, third vice president and statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, made the statement. He addressed the health officers' section of the convention.

The physician, however, said that "only In old age is the Increase in heart disease mortality serious. The situation thus has some favorable aspects." Dr. Dublin urged the health officers to continue to combat infections such as scarlet fever, rheumatic fever and similar diseases which cause heart disease. The health association's first general session will be held tonight. URGES USE OF LOANS Madison OP) Commissioner William F.

Renk, of the state department of agriculture and markets, today urged Wisconsin farmers to avail themselves of the opportunity to obtain loans for livestock and feed from the Regional Agricultural Credit corporation at Minneapolis Wisconsin farmer are not taking advantage of the opportunity to the same extent as Minnesota and Dakota farmers said the commissioner who has Just returned from a conference with R. A. C. C. officials.

"As bankers do not seem to be in a position to make loans on feed and livestock, the R. C. C. has been organized to make such he "Loans for all classes of livestock and feeders are made. The Madison (Special) The Wisconsin legislature in special session is to have about three weeks in which to devise and enact statutes taxing and regulating sale of hard liquor if present plans of the state administration are followed, it has been revealed.

Gov. G. Schmcdeman plans to delay calling a special session until after the 36th state has voted for repeal, attaches of the governor's office said. The governor will not anticipate the outcome of ballots in other states by calling for state liquor laws before votes in other states are registered. The delay will not necessarily mean that Wisconsin will not have regulatory and taxing laws relating to hard liquor when its distribution Is declared legal, it was pointed out.

CERTIFY RESULTS TO CAPITAL The last states to vote will not be able to hold conventions and certify results to the national capital until after Dec. If all states needed have voted for repeal conventions by Nov. 7, Governor Schmedeman will call the special session immediately, it is said. The legislature then will convene about Nov. 15.

The belief that three weeks will not be sufficient In which to enaoi liquor laws has been expressed by several legislators who contend bills relating to this subject will call for lengthy debate. They said they would do everything possible to avoid repetition of the situation when beer was legalized and sold, although the legislature had provided no regulatory or taxing laws. If necessary a temporary law will be enacted to provide at least some restriction on the sale of hard liquor, legislators said. It would be followed by a permanent law devised and discussed by the legislature at leisure. Municipal officials are urging a relatively high tax on liquor, with half of the proceeds returned to cities in which revenues were collected.

INCLUDE OTHER ISSUES The principal controversy it expected to center about proposals to set up state liquor distributing stations rather than allow taverns to sell spirits over bars. City officials have urged that restrictive laws be left for local governments to impose. At least three other issues probably will be included in the governor's call. One concerns expansion of the conservation department's fire fighting equipment. Two others are to be proposed for the governor's consideration by the Wisconsin League of Municipalities.

One bill would give the public service commission authority to issue utility rate reduction orders effective on the date complaints were filed by municipal officials and the second would be designed to promote collection of property taxes on large buildings, the owners of which collect rent, but refuse to pay taxes. Under the proposed bill courts would be authorized to set aside rental money for tax payments. MOTHER, SIX CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH WHEN THE HOME IS DESTROYED rrquot, Minn.
