Lincoln Highway Gets Nearly $12,000,000 in 1919
ASHINOTON. Lincoln Highway -tlio great national outdoor memorial to
Abraham Lincoln Is faring well those days at the hands of eleven states,
through which It passes. The Lincoln Highway, which was nt first largely n
series of connecting country roads,
has gradually become, through olllclnl
action of the various states, an In
tegral portion of the several state
highway systems.
Expenditures on the Way In 15)10.
for new construction, reconstruction
and maintenance were as follows by
states: New .lersey. Sl.HSH.fiTU.OO:
Pennsylvania, $1,418,100.28: Ohio. $1.-
00:?,708.10; Indiana, $742,218.80; Illi
nois, $1,4:10.120.28; Iown, $250,800.20;
Nebraska, $01:1.02.1.00; Wyoming,
$127,000.01; Utah, $220,528.54; Nevada. $411,010.58; California, $.'175,500.00;
total, $SS,8SO,800.:il.
To these figures must bo added much of the county construction and main
tenance work and city paving, for which It Is impossible to get accurate dettvllod
figures. Conservative estimates resulting from actual Inspection of such work
In progress Indicates that these unreported expenditures amounted to over
$500,000 in 1010. '
The association also points out that contracts covering a total of 150
miles of permanent Improvement wcro let In 1010 In seven of the states
traversed by the route, the total amount of these contracts aggregating an
additional $2,:i23,112.50 money nlready provided and In addition to that ac
tually expended for work completed In 1010.
The total financing for the Way in 1010 therefore amounted to $11,700,012.00.
Comparison with the figures for the years since the association began Its
work show the significance of this total. The amounts expended were: In
1014, $1,200,000; In 1015, $2,5S0.2S0; In 1010, $4,108,10.1; In 1017, $2,000,018.00;
In 1018 $2,900,:t07.77.
The General Federation of Women's clubs, which has charge of the plant
ing of the Way, plans to have It beautified with trees, shrubs and flowers and to
make U a bird sanctuary from coast to coast. ,
Discontented School Pupils Make Child Laborers
THE million and more children under sixteen years of age who leave school
annually In the United States to go to work are not all forced Into Industry
because of poverty, according to the first olllclnl reports of the Children's
bureau on the "bnek to school" drive

pupils became the child laborers.
Unattractive school buildings, poorly trained teachers and sparse equip
ment are factors in making the boy or girl restless at school. It Is also declared
that the present federal child labor law does not reach more than 300,000 of
the 2,000,000 working children over ten years of ago, as at least three-fourths
of these are In the agricultural districts.
In many cases there are no schools to attend. The "back to the school"
drive stimulated local surveys of the school resourcus. Some of the schools
were closed for the lack of teachers, and the general report lays this lack to
the low salaries paid. A few of the states met this condition by making a
minimum touching salary from $1,000 to $1,200, but there are communities
where teachers are paid only $40 a month.
It was the opinion of those conducting those campaigns that once the
parents were reached the ways and moans of keeping the child In school would
be forthcoming.
All the World Has but a Wagonload of Diamonds
EVERYBODY Is buying diamonds these days. It seems as If the supply was
Inexhaustible. Yet a Chicago statistical expert has figured out that If nil
the diamonds mined In history and existing today as cut and polished gems
were gathered from the ends of the
earth, they would form a pile about
us largo us a wagon loud of coal
dumped on the sidewalk. The pile
would contain 40,355,474 enruts, and
the gems would weigh ton nnd ono
linlf tons If the pile were In the
form of a cone. It would have a base
Jiameter of eight feet and a height
Df five feet. Reckoning the diamonds
it $300 a curat, it would have a value
.if $13,000,042,200. It would contain
710 1-3 gallons, worth $5,530,023 a gal
lon, or 701-5 bushels valued ut $.11,570,72!) a 'bushel. All the world's diamonds
could bo packed in an ordinary clothes closet or a kitchen pantry
India, It Is estimated, litis produced, all told, 50,000,000 carats; Brazil,
15,000,000: South Africa, 170,571,000; Borneo, 1,000.000; British Guiana, 50.000;
Australia, l .10.000; China, 2,000: Siberia, 500; United States, 500. This Is a
total rough output of 230,777,374 carats or .15.35 tons avoirdupois.
Only about .10 per cent of rough diamonds are cut Into gems and lose about
00 per cent of their weight In being cut and polished. Dlnnionds are prac
tically Indestructible and the first diamond ever mined muy possibly still be In
existence; some princess or millionaire's wife or a waitress In a restaurant
may be wearing the world's first diamond or a fragment of It. But the estimate
allows for the loss or at least l.UOO.UlM) carats by flood, lire, shipwreck and other
disasters. These reductions and losses leave the total of cut and polished illa
monds at -10,3.1.1,474 carats.
Molluscs Start Scientist After a Lost Continent
DETAILS concerning a lost continent In the I'aclflc ocean, a 0.000-mlle pre

luscs from .luun Fernandez that were
extraordinarily similar In thulr characteristics to certain molluscs In Hawaii.
So I determined to visit the Island, study those shells and Its entire flora
and fauna."
If the Juan Fernandez molluscs should prove to be closely allied with
those of Hawaii, Dr. Bryan explains. It would prove that land connection had
existed, as the species must have traveled from Juan Fernundez to Hawaii, or
vice versa, by the rivers of the prehistoric continent.
Professor Bryan considers It not unlikely that the lost Pacific continent
preceded that of South America In the dark ages of time.
It was on Juan Fernandez that Alexander Selkirk, a Scotch buccaneer,
lived In solitude for four years (1704-1708). Ill story Is supposed to have
suggested "Robinson Crusoe" to Defoe. The Horn and fauna of the Islund
differ remarkably from thoo of the mainland.

Successful Chicken Raisers Beginning
to Appreciate Value of Green
Feed In Winter.
All poultry raisers are beginning to
appreciate the value of sprouting oats
for hens In wlnler. I made a sproutet
of my own as shown In the drawing,
says a writer In an exchange. It Is a
box 20 by 20 Inches and 3(1 Inches
high. It Is largo enough to supply 50
to 75 hens with sprouted oats every
other day. There are six drawers In
the box, each two Inches deep with
window screen for bottoms. A Is a
funnel into which warm water may be
poured Into the square box B which
Is full of small holes In the bottom. 1
put nbout one-half Inch of oats In
each pan. then pour a gallon of worm
water through u funnel Into the pan B,
from which the wnter trickles down
through the oats In all the drawers
and finally collects In the lower pan

degrees. The oats should be watered
each morning and night, with warm
water.
Tho four holes In the side furnish
ventilation for the lamp. In one
week the sprouts will be three to font
Inches high, and may be fed. Begin
with the lower drawer, and after footl
ing the contents refill with outs from
the pull E In which they have been
soaking for 24 hours. Move the other
drawers down and put the last one
filled on top. I find one feed every
other day to be enough.

DISPOSE OF EARLY PULLETS
Fowls Hatched Last Winter Will Molt

Be Marketed.
Pullets hatched In January and Feb

on these to continue laying through
the winter, however, as they probablj
will molt about the first of .lanunrj
