Declared Rodicytous. Isiuisvilli, Ky.. March «).—Wil liam Jeuningi Bryan has been mis , represented by August Thomnn, the playright. P. H. 'Callahan, of Louis ville. said tonight. I Mr. Thomas was quoted in n re [ cent news dispatch as saying that Mr. Rryan just,prior to iiis death had prepared . ”n Constitutional amendment whieh Would have made Christinity the official religion of the United States.” This statement Mr. Callahan do nie'd in iinqfta'ified terms,, although Mr. Thomns was quoted ns saying tbnt he himself had seen "the actual wording" of the proposed amend ment nnd that an effort, would be ninde to have it parsed. ML Callnhnn holds that such a 1 statement is ridiculous. In denying the statement Attribut ed to Mr. Thomns, Mr. Callahan •pointed out that the playwright formerly was one of My. Bryan’s grfttest admirers. Prohibition, he said, caused a brea|l between the two, as Mr. Thomns took a very ac tive par.t against the Dry Act. Recalling* his intimate association with Mr. Bryan during the Scopes trial nt Dayton, Mr. Callahan de ' dared that if anything Air. Bryan said at that time gave rise to the story about the proposed Constitu tional amendment, the “anti-Brynn ites qf the Press” were at fault and not Air. Rryan. At a Commercial Club dinner ■ tendered Mr. Bryan when he nrriv ed in Mr. Callahan asserted ■ Mr. Bryan declared that Christian itjr was on the defensive and that he I intended making the "fight of his life to prenerve'the faith of the chil dren.”. At the same time Mr. Bryan deeihred he would carry the issue through the country if the court de cision in tha Scopes case was not satisfactory. Mr. Callahan asserted- But nothing was said by Mr. Bryan of a Constitutional amend ment. Mr. Callnhnn said. He added that any reference to an amendment was inspired by Dr. Neal nnd his as sociates, aided by the anti-Bryanites bf the press. Air. Bryan dictated a statement to the press July f) in whieh he stnted there wns no reason to interpret his address as a move ment for another amendment nor was it bis intention to lead a march in that direction, Mr. Callahan said.

METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY NEW YORK Biggest in the World, More Assets, More Policyholders, More Insurance in force, More new Insurance each year NATION-WIDiE MOVEMENT FOR HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION So as to Provide Better for the Safety of Motorists and Pedestrians. Washington, D. C., March 6.—OP) —A nation-wide' tnovemeut dor the aonstruction of highways in rucli a as to better provide for the safe ty of motorists and pedestrians ns Well is predicted by H. G. Shirley, president-el of the American Road Builders Association, as a result of tj)e American Road Builders’ Con vention hold recently in Chicago. * Shirley, who IS.also chairman of the Virginia Btatei Highway Com mission, points out that the question Os aafety on the highways was one of fhq principal topics of discussion at tbfi convention. ' /?lt was the general concensus of h opinion among th* 30,000 engineers, contractors, and highway officials as sembled at the convention that some thing should be done to check the euonnouß loss of life in automobile ac cidents,” commented Air. Shirley. "As a result, safety is now one of the principal'things tuken into considera tion in the construction and location of highways. , ■Terhaps the most prolific source of accidental deaths tp motorists is the grade crossing. Ip a few cases such crossings cannot be removed without au unreasonable expenditure of money. The majority, however, will be eliminated from the nation’* high ways, while the scientific location of routes will make abolition of grade crossings passible on the newly built roads. 5 ',.;Vi i “Nearly 1,000 people were killed in and near Chicago last year by auto mobiles. A great many of these deaths were the result of cageless driv ing and speeding, but a large number were also caused by roads too nar row to handle the traffic.” I To solve this’ problem, Mr. Shirley pointed out, highway engineers are planning roads leading .into large cit ies wider than ever before. In the cities nnd along the national routes, safety signals are being installed. In addition, efforts age being made to so construct curves{ as to redceu the possibility of accidents there, and steep grades, as fgr as possible, are being removed, thus eliminating an other danger. »' . Vi! “This movement in behalf of safe ty is nob confinedt ,tow ; the United Antes,” Mr. Shirley skid. “It'was learned from the hundreds of dele gates from Canada, Mexico, Panama, | and the South American countries at the American Road Builders’ conven tion that such a movement was fast growing in these nations. “For that reason, it !b believed that the 1927 meeting of the highway or ganization will reveal great progress along safety lines. Detailed reports of deaths caused by improperly con structed and routed highways will be greatly decreased. President-elect Shirley is very op timistic about the 1926 road building program of the nation. ' "The United States,” he said, “reg isters approximately 80 per cent, of all the automobUea of the world. The country should, therefore, possess a highway system of comparative.extent. “Os the 3,000,000 miles of highway in the country, a small portion is im «~ < < PAGE THREE | proved. The program of 1026 will not only greatly increase the system of hardl surfaced roads, but will as v greatly decrease the death hazards on the present highways.” The publication of Queen Victoria’s diary, containing her admonitions to, the then Prince of Wales in regards to his attendance at the races, serves to recall the fact that Edward VII., as he afterward bocome, was t'.ia keenest of all turf patrons. In his early career he had a long spell of ill luck, but he ultimately broke thin when he achieved the ambition of ev ery English horse owners by winning the Derby. The Calcutta Golf Club-is the old est golf club outside of the British • Isles. “ '
