"State gasoline tax or state automobile license tax seem to be the only ways to help finance the road work. Nebraska at present has no connected highways in good condi tion. "The counties work separately, and therefore we find a strip of good pav ing here and there and mud holes a few miles farther on. There Is no continuous system of good roads In the state.” Lack of Federal Aid. "Lack of federal aid Is the reason there are no better roads In Douglas county. Only two wads of the num ber selected by the county commis sioners for paving this spring are des ignated by the government for federal aid.” A joint meeting of the 1:<*>d roads committee and the county commission ers has been planned for the near future to find out how far to go with the good roads program, according to Ellis.

Calf Lives Month in Stack of Straw Animal Disappears During Storm and Spends 30 Days Under Rude Shelter. Special Dispatch •» Tha Omaha Bee. Beatrice, Neb., Feb. 23.—'The story of how a yearling calf on the farm of Clarence Hiatt, living near Odell, Neb., disappeared about the middle of January during a heavy snow storm and reappeared nearly a month later after having spent ail that time in a straw stack, was told by Mr. Hiatt while in the city. The snow was drifting baldy when the young bovine took shelter in the stack In the feed lot, where a herd of hogs was running loose, and it Is thought it entered one of the openings made by the ewlne. The snow piled up six or eight feet about the stack, and, evidently pleased with its berth, the calf remained in seclusion until about 10 days ago, when Mr. Hiatt, in driving through the lot, noticed it emerge from the stack and shake itself. The animal had subsisted on straw and snow for 30 days, and, although it was thin and weak, the owner says it is gradually rounding Into form again.

Omaha's claim 1o the title of "A t'ity Beautiful'' will he voiced from station WOAW Tuesday night by I. Shuler, a member of the Omahu iteal Estate board. Every Tuesday night, according to announcement at the station, a mem ber of the lioard will tell of some feature of Ofnaha. Mr. Shuler’s talk follows in part: Muring the mad rush for conimer rial supremacy, many American cities have overlooked the science of the beautiful in both nature and art. if not forgotten, we find the es thetic feature sometimes relegated until there Is no concerted aetion. Omaha Is and should be truly proud of its commanding position as a city of home owners. Nature gave to this she a setting which was a fitting groundwork for a great city. Natural hills, ravines, springs and forests were available for conversion hy the esslstance of the handiwork of man, into Omaha's present 1,400 acres of public parks. Great ridges and valleys readily yielded themselves to the construction of 35 miles of picturesque and sightly boulevards: a, great series of high bluffs and hills overloking to the east, north and south, the broad winding Missouri river and 50 square miles of beautiful valley, present river front picture unsurpassed; to. the west these hills and ravines converge' and flatten Into the broad Nebraska plains. Development of these natural re sources have gone on from year to year. Increasing Omaha's atractive ness as a place to live. The far-see ing pioneer started our village with all streets 100 feet wide. The sky line of this original plat of Omaha stands as a monument to those men of vision. The citizens who followed the pioneer have continued to rea lize the esthetic value of our city. Omaha was the third metropolitan city In America to adopt a complete zoning law, providing for the protec tion and segregation of the residence, commercial and industrial districts. This law was revised last year to keep pace with clmngtng conditions and improved methods of preserving these ideals. Omaha today has no tenement district, and over 50 percent of its 210,000 population live in homes of their own. The new zoning ordinance will prevent overcrowding id new buildings, and Omaha will re main a city of beautiful homes. Where street congestion Is becoming evident, additional street openings and widenings are being provided. Three of these projects have been completed during the past few years. A movement is now underway to add to the parks and boulevards and to further preserve the natural beauty of Omaha's 12 miles of river front.
