Certain days are set aside for the special meetings of organizations, including both political parties and war veterans. Springfield, I1l. â€" Governor Henâ€" ry Horner will forward to Washingâ€" ton this week for approval of the United States Bureau of Public Roads a $2,095,520 secondary road building program for 1937, to be finâ€" anced half by federal funds and half by state funds. This is the first schedule of highway improveâ€" ments for Illinois under the Federâ€" miles. adunor12e0 vy al Assembly. Federal regulations stipulate that projects in the Federal Secondary system are to be based upon their relative importance as determined from factual data secured by stateâ€" wide studies for the planning of a complete highway system. In Illiâ€" nois, as in other states, the gigantic task of making the survey will not be completed for many months. Unâ€" til it is, projects selected for incluâ€" sion in the state‘s 10,000 mile fedâ€" eral secondary system must be roads which it is reasonably anticipated will become a part of the system. Such projects, according to the fedâ€" eral bill, must be "essentially rural in character, that are not on highâ€" way routes which are potential adâ€" ditions to federalâ€"aid systems withâ€" in a reasonable interval." Included in the 1937 schedule preâ€" pared by state engineers are farmâ€" toâ€"market _ roads, _ mineâ€"toâ€"market roads, rural free delivery mailâ€"roads, public school bus routes and other rural roads of community value which extend reasonably adequate highway service from such highâ€" ways, or which lead to rail or water shipping points or local settlements. In the last five years 760 miles of secondary roads have been built by the state. Inprevious years, none had been constructed by the state although the counties had treen apâ€" plying county road funds to such ‘projects. OSPITAL AUXILIARY WILL MEET The monthly meeting of the Highâ€" jland Park Hospital Auxiliary will be held on Wednesday morning, Auâ€" gust 11th at 10:30 at Trinity church Parish house. On inventory of Illinois roads lists 10,231 miles of primary roads, which include federalâ€"aid and state bond issue roads, the 760 miles of stateâ€"built secondary roads, 4,342 miles of countyâ€"built roads and apâ€" proximately 75,000 miles of unimâ€" proved roads. _ Approximately $2,000,000 annualâ€" ly will be available, in even share of federal and state funds, for conâ€" struction of the federal secondary system. â€" Building of farmâ€"toâ€"marâ€" ket roads in the state, however, will not be confined to the federal sysâ€" tem, since approximately $7,500,000 annually in motor fuel tax funds is alloted to counties in the state for secondary road improvements, exâ€" clusive of funds counties may raise by county taxes or receive directly from federal agencies. The next time you are riding in an automobile, just note the action of ‘pedestrians. Is it any wonder that almost fifty per cent of the automobile fatalities are caused by pedestrians ? Of course, the pedestrian has some rights and he should exercise those Wm There is no right unâ€" der hi heaven that allows the pedestrian to cross in the middle of the block, to come from behind parked cars, or to jayâ€"walk at corâ€" ners. He takes his life in his own hands and is subject to the mercy of the automobile driver who does not see him and cannot control the pedestrian‘s actions. When we come to the realization that we must walk right and in the proper place, then we will have an opportunity to make a big cut into the automobile fatalities in the nation. Illinois Releases New Market Report fruit amu vegetables, is to be inaugâ€" urated July 22, J. H. Lloyd, director of the State Department of Agriâ€" culture, announced today. Headquarters for the new service will be located in Peoria, Tllinois, and the information released will include commodity prices and supâ€" plies as they affect Peoria market conditions. The report will also inâ€" clude Chicago and St. Louis market information. All details of the plan have not been completed, but it is understood that the market report will be broadâ€" cast at a later date. « The market news report is under the supervision of H. M. Newell, superintendent of the State Division of Markets. "This service, like other activities of that division, was inaugurated with the aim of proâ€" moting the interest and welfare of Illinois agriculture," Superintendent Newell stated.

Spend a few moments among them ‘and you‘ll hear a strange jarâ€" that sounds meaningless to the r:mn but. all of which makes sense to the showman. To borrow their parlance, a "blowâ€" off" is an afterâ€"theater crowd; a "tip" is a crowd; and a "deadâ€"head" is a "guy" who comes in through the gate on aâ€"pass. j A good day at the exposition is referred to as a "red one." A rainy day is a "bloomer." Spend plenty of money at a concession and you‘ll be called a "live one." Be a purseâ€" pincher and you‘re a "blank." â€" The talker who stands at the ticâ€" ketâ€"box at a continuous attraction is a "grinder." A turnâ€"style, to the showman is a "fannyâ€"patter," and m e + ud_fh!fi? cu!ullly' a iget" ~â€"â€" f"t’g’ > If the barker out front fails to swing the crowd into his attraction showmen say "he did a Brody." Booths where women tell your forâ€" tune are called "mit camps" and a "seer" or fortune teller is a "mit reader." â€"Games in which you throw a ball at a target to win a prize are "flat joints," and a shovel machine that disgorges prizes is a "gaff." When a showman tries to pack more cash eastomers into a full house, he "sits them on the straw." The girl who takes a ducking when the baseball you throw scores a bullsâ€"eye is known as a "diving simp." So next time you see a crowd enâ€" tering a sideshow, just remember a barker or spicler has just "turned a tip."
