which the counties were to carry on
the work until such time as the de-
partment was actually equipped for
doing the work itself.
Under these contracts the work in a
number of counties has been going on
and the counties paying the expenses
of such maintenance with the agree-
ment that the highway epartment
would reimburse them for the amounts
so expended.
Now the question of the legality of
these contracts is being raised. The
county auditor of Wichita county has
written the attorney general’s depart-
ment for an opinion, and Assistant At-
torney General Sutton, to whom the
quostion was referred, said because of
the importance of the proposition it
may-be some time before an official
opinion is reached.
______________.■
MAKE IT THE CHILDREN’S TREAT -
Legality of contracts made by the
state highway department with certain
counties for the maintenance of state
designated highways, is under investi-
gation by the attorney general’s de-
partment, it was ascertained Tuesday
afternoon, but an opinion may not be
expected for some time because of the
importance of the question.
When the highway department on
Jan. 1, 1924, took over the maintenance
of the state highways, the department
had no machinery and equipment to
carry on the work, and in order that
the maintenance of the highways
might be continued without interrup-
tion, the department entered Into con-

felt a nauseation that she had ever
touched liquor herself. She had been
living in a daze; but the daze had
worn off. Tonight was the finishing
touch. Packy may have been despica-
ble. but his .words about Jerry and
Sarah at’ this moment seemed to be
justified.
She rose and left, Ignoring Davy’s
pleas for her to stay.
Next morning Jerry came into her
room to "alk it over, "finally she sal
"Joy, I have never told you about my-
self. Get comfortable now, because I
am going to ladle out the whole story."
Joy drew back. "h, no, Jerry—-
please don’t tell me anything you’d
rather not talk about."
“I also said I would tell you some-
timesrwhen I felt like it. Now gets the
vote."
"To begin at the pop of the pistol—
I was born in New York—over on tha
Fast Side, where people live like flies
I* was one of ten—and we all lived in
two rooms." Jerry’s voice seemed to
have grown dull, and she stared away
from Joy as she talked.
“You don’t mean ten people- ir two
rooms?” Joy gasped.
Jerry shrugged her shoulders. “That's
exactly what I do mean. Not only
that, but we took two boarders in our
rooms because my father was always
out of work."
Joy's eyes were huge disks of hor-
ror; already she had suddenly dropped
in from Mars. Jerry was continuing
rapidly:
"I sold newspapers as soon as I was
able to take in the pennies. I wore a
grey sweater and a pair of bloomers,
and talked to everybody who bought
a paper of me, whether thev slung a
line back or not." She gave a long,
quivering sigh. "I don’t intend lo go

and ready—and the devil only knows
when that’ll be!"
No more time to think,'now—she
knew what she must do. Her hands
crept out to the knob of the door.
Mechanically she looked back and

was dimly conscious had been follow-
ing them for some time. She could I
open the door in one second, jump out
in another—and ‘be fore Packy could
get back to her, the other car would
be upon them—
She turned the knob; Packy saw
her at the same minute. With a growl
he lurched towards her and seized her
by one arm. She struggled violently,
and he took his hand from the steering
wheel and pulled her back into the
seat again.
It all happened in one of those sec-i
onds of eternity. While they strug-

All advance reports go to show that
the bill to be presented at the Hancock
starting Thursday will be crammed
with a lot of mirth providing acts.
Miss Iren© Franklin will fill tha
headline position for the week, and this
actress* has been a favorite on the
stage for many seasons, and has the
distinction of being the only star in
vaudeville that writes all of her own
material, songs, patter, etc.
Miss Franklin has prepared a new
act for her Austin engagement and
will be seen in some stunning new
dress creations. Jerry Jarnegin is the
pianist accompanist of Miss Franklin
and was chosen because of his decided
musical abilities.
A feature of th© act of ■ Al Lydell
and Carleton Macy named "Old Cro-
nies” is said to be the splendid charac-
ter acting and extraordinary make-up
by these two actors. The act is said
to have some good comedy situations
And to be full of bright dialogue.
A clever assortment of songs and
patter is said to be the foundation of
"Getting Soaked," an offering that will
be presented by Bob Yates and Evelyn
Carson, two versatile young per-
formers.
Much merriment is promised in the
sketch “Almost Single” the offering
of Miss Julia Nash and G. H. O’Don-
nell. Miss Nash comes to vaudeville
after being On© of the most successful
actresses in stock, while Mr. O’Don-
nell brings with him the reputation
of having played in many suecessful
plays under the management of David
Bel a sco.
Three ultra steppers are said to be

Syrell who have obtained a superiority

to have grace, harmony and rhythm
which is likened unto the waft of an
early spring zephyr.
Betty Washington will appear with
her novel and' entertaining artistic
violin renditions. Miss Washington
has been enthusiastically received in
every town that she has'played. She
is a dainty alluring personality and
her complete mastery of the violin is
said will -be a hit of next week’s bill
A sensational opening act will be
proffered by the “Four American

ment.
