In 1898 th Maryland stats legislature ersstad a hkrhway division of the co- loalcal survey for the purpose of carry ing; on a campaign of education In road building and to give engineering advice and assistance to local road officials. Money waa authorised In 1804, and an appropriation of 8300,800 annually was made to carry an the work. The state paid one-halt and tha counties one-bait of tha cost of construction. The legis lature of 108 author! sed tha governor to appoint three citisens and designate two members of the geological survey who, with the governor ex -officio, should con stitute a state road commission. Th commission waa authorised to lay out and construct a system of state roads to be built with state money, and an appro priation ot $5,000,000 was made with which to pay tha cost. In 1810 the state sld work of the highway division of th geological survey was transferred to th stats oom mission of hlghwaya Tha flv states war th only ones to adopt stat aid laws In th first ten year after New Jersey took th Initial step in 1880, however, the automobile made It appearance as a considerable factor In th highway situation, and th extent of Its Influence on highway Improvement may be judged from tit fact that In th neat ten years thirty-two other states passed laws establishing stste highway departments, a great majority of them authorising substantial pecuniary assist ance of their counties or townships. Tha legislature of Main enacted a law In 1801 which created a state highway department. In charge ot a stat high way commissioner, and authorised a tax to provide a stats aid fund. Tba legisla ture of Rhode Island In 1801 enacted a law creating a stat hoard of public road and establishing a system ot stat roads to be built entirely at stat ex-pens. Movement Dons Hoetn.

In th sam year a law was passed In Delaware authorising an appropriation of 110.000 to each county tor road Improvement purposes, pro viding the counties appropriated a similar amount. A Stats Highway department and stat aid Inconstructlon of roads were also au thorised by legislative act in Pennsyl vania In lSut Th sum of te ,400,000 was set aside by that law for th purpose. In 1811 a resolution was passed author ising the submitting to popular vote of th propoe tlon of a bond Issue of 8M,ow,to for highway purpose. At ths same time a law waa passed creatine system of state roads to be built entirely by th stat aad authorising an appropriation of S4.O90.8O8. $3.80000 to be expended In building th state roads and tl.000.8M In state aid work, whereby th state paid three-quarters of tha cost. Ohio was msds a state aid stat la 1804. A highway department waa also estab lished in that year. Th law was amended la 1808 and again In 1811, principally with reference to form of administration. The stat pays one-half th cost of stat aid work, the counties and towns one-quarter each. Illinois, Michigan. Minnesota and New Hampshire adopted state aid la 13 Vermont and Virginia became state aid states In 1888. In tha former stat a State Highway department was created with a commissioner In charge and an annual appropriation for aid to th town was authorised.

Th stat furnishes the convicts and the counties pay their expenses while at work. Laws Inaugurating state aid In Colo rado, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah and West Virginia wer passed In 1808. The stats legislatures of Alabama and California passed state aid laws in 1811. The Alabama law created a state highway commission and established a fund for th purpose of carrying out the provisions of the set. The fund Is taken from th convict fund and amounts to flU.VOO annually. This sum is distributed equally among th counties, and Is used to pay one-half the cost of road work In which It Is applied. The California law established an ad visory board to have charge of highway matters and to supervise th expenditure of all money that might be available for highway purposes. This Included the proceeds of a bond Issue of HMOO.OjO which was authorised In 1808. Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, New' Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Wisconsin have all passed state aid lawa Interest In the development of high way Improvement In towns and counties haa kept pace with th progress In state administration. In many of th states which have not yet passed laws provid ing tor stat departments of funds for state aid, th counties nave taken It upon themselves to Isau bond and levy special tuxes for the Improvement of their roads. Texas affords a notable example ot this interest on the part of local com munities. Th aggregate amount of the bond Issues authorised In th counties ot that state In 1811 was I8.lle.fio0. WOMEN OUTLIVE THE MEN Brat Mea Over Tw te One la Marathon for th Century Mark. From the earliest recorded times women have been spoken et as frail, delicate creatures. Eminent writers have asserted that aside from their natural constitu tional frailty woman wer Invalids one fifth of th tlma, Tet ths dawn ot th twentieth eentur finds us with abun dant proof of woman's physical superiority over man when tested by length of years, th power to endure suffering and resist In 1K8 th United Stste census showed that there were at that time 8.881 cen tenarians In the country, of whom 8.583 were women and 1,808 were men. Out of eighty centenarians who died In England during the year US, seventy-nine were women and ten were men. while out of twenty-one cntenarians who died In Scot lend In 18 sixteen were women and flv wer men. During th year 1818 1 took clipping from newspapers and periodicals of twenty-three centenarians, who were then living or who died during that year. Of these seventeen were women and six were men. Th mystery of this tenacity of Ufa In woman still remain a secret. At birth, boys are slightly larger, both In height and weight, and continue n the lead until 18; than girls pass them, both In height and weight for about two years, when th boys again take the lead, and complete their growth at about IS or M, With thla brief exception males ex eel In height and weight throughout life. Physical strength and vital capacity, as tested by lifting weights and breath ing air Into a eplroroeter, are at all ages greater In males than in females. If either height or weight, physical Vigor or vital capacity, therefore, be taken as an Indication of superiority, we had little evidence for the unquestioned tenacity of life and power ot resisting disease In little difference until 15, after which tha difference Is more marked th further we go toward extreme old age. Thla tenacity of life in females Is seen In sll the symotlc diseases, especlslly In thoss diseases which chiefly affect chil dren. Whooping cough and diphtheria only appear to be more fntal In females than In males. Whether correctly or not, this haa been attributed to the smaller sis of th throat In temalea Purine childhood there appears to be a little difference In the susceptibility to or fatality of either cholera, smallpox or Influensa In the sexes, yet, while adult females appear to be more susceptible to sll, especially the first two, all are be lieved to be more fatal In adult males. Except biliary calculi, cancer is th only disease common to both sexes from which adult females suffer more than do adult males, hut th rat of Increase ot cancer Is now much greater In men than In women. Women appear te suffer more from emotional and maniacal Insanity, and re cover oftener than men, while men suffer more from serious brain lesions and from paralysis of th Insane, and as a con sequence offer less hop of recovery. Th special susceptibility of warns that renders her mors liable to attack 'of hysteria, neurasthenia, emotional state and th milder forms of Insanity appears to serv as a distinct advantage. Thl affoctsblllty appears to sot some what as a barrier against attacks or tn mors fatal forms of mental affections. So, too, woman's well-known tendency to early physical exhaustion serves to protect her from ths fatal crash that often comes to man from overexertion. It 1,000 able-bodied men and 1.000 able bodied women be uniformed, armed and equipped for battle and ordered on a long and weary march to the front, more men would probably reach their deetl nation, while more women would b, found exhausted, but mora men found dead on the roadside. Owing to their peculiar psycho-physical organisation, women heed the warn ings of fatigue, while man with his iron will, after complete exhaustion, resolves to take another step If he dies In the sttempl. So after making all due allowance for the greater mortality of man In war and from accident from dangerous occupations end from masculine excesses there are good reasons for believing that nothing short of a constitutional difference can account for the greater tenacity of life In women. Woman la a physologlcal miser, she accumulates energy without expending it whtl man Is a physologlcal prodigal, h upends mora energy than be accumu-latea-atedlcal Record.
