FEDERAL ROAD AID
BOOSTED A MILLION
Raleigh, Feb. 3 Federal highway
aid for North Carolina will be in
creased lrom $1,722,000 annually to
about 52.800,000 each year for three
years, R. A. Doughton, chairman of
the state highway commission, was
informed today.
The increase is under the terms of
the Dowell-Phipps bill which is in
congress.
The bill has been passed but the
senate added an amendment which
the house must concur in before the
bill can go to the president for his
signature.
The amendment will allow $25,
000 to be expended per mile on road
construction instead of $15,000 as
heretofore. The adoption of the
amendment will help the state con
siderably, Mr. Doughton said, as it
now costs $27,000 to $30,000 to build
a mile or hard-surfaced road.

I "This poison, wnue not dangerous
'to gallinaceous fowls such as chick
'ens, turkeys, partridges and the like,
is asure killer for the rats," says C.
D. Schwartz, biologist for the exten
sion service at State College. "In
preparing the oats however, care
should be taken so that none fo the
i poison is left where it can be reach-
ed by other animals or the children.
' "About one teaspoonful of the pois
!on should be placed every twenty to
I thirty feet along the runaways and!
also on both sides of the ditch banks,
i In fields of broom sedge it is better
'to place the bait fifteen feet apart
on the runaways. Lespede;ja is a
favorite food ami cover for these
same distance apart but in a new
place along the runway or ditch.
One pound of bait is sufficient to
clear about one and one half acres
and can be bought already prepared
much cheaper than it can be prepar
ed at home. At letter to C. D.
Schwartz, State College Static:;,

that he would have to mend his ways. !
Two dollars and a half plus cost or!

Never has a Chevrolet car won
greater praise for its appearance
than the new Chevrolet Six. Its
new Fisher bodies reveal in every detail the
artistry that has made the Fisher name famous
throughout the motor car world. In beauty of line
and color, in balance and harmony of design,
they represent one of the greatest style triumphs
in Fisher history. And the promise of this exterior
beauty is more than fulfilled when you look in
side the car. Upholsteries are richer and more
durable. The instrument panel carries a new and
more attractive grouping of the control instru
ments. Seats are wider and deeper. In fact, not
a single feature has been over
looked that would add to the
comfort and convenience of
both driver and passengers.
In addition to its new beauty,
the new Chevrolet Six repre
sents a remarkable advance
in every phase of performance. Its improved six
cylinder valve-in-head engine has been increased
to 50 horsepower giving faster acceleration,
greater reserve energy and more comfortable
high speeds. Steering has been made safer and
easier by a new front axle assembly Four
Lovejoy hydraulic shock absorbers provide
exceptional riding comfort. Fully enclosed,
internal-expanding, weather-proof brakes give
positive braking control. And numerous struc
tural improvements add to the car's depend
ability, endurance and long
THE GREATEST life. Come in today and see
