HIGHWAY LAWS ARE CONSTRUED Deputy Attorney General Kel ler Elucidates Some Ques- tions Raised I Under an opinion handed down by William H. Keller, First Deputy Attor ney General, the restrictions placed on the State Highway Department rela j tlve to the use of State-aid money are | still further strengthened. The At j tornev General's office previously had given an opinion that State-aid funds could not be used on the construction jof State highways In boroughs. First 1 Deputy Attorney General Keller in his j second opinion tells State Highway Commissioner Cunningham that this restriction applies also to the use of State-aid money, in townships and that ; it is not legal for him to use these i funds in the construction of State j highways in townships. This decision prevents the award | ing of two contracts which the State Highway Department had agreed to ! enter into this year; one In Armstrong j county on the road from Ford City to Kittanning and the other in Clarion | county through Clarion and Paint townships. The First Deputy Attorney General in his opinion lays down the principle that all work on State Highways must i be paid for by the State out of moneys appropriated for the construction, maintenance and repair of State high ways and that State-aid money must be used on roads other than State highways. In another opinion the First Deputy Attorney General tells State Highway Commissioner Cunningham that un der the Act of June 5, 1913, county commissioners and township super visors are permitted to contribute a portion of the money to be used In the improvement of State highways, this meaning, of course, that the State's share of the funds needed for such improvement will be paid out of State highway funds.

Big blackheads, little black- I heads, no matter where they are, i simply dissolve and disappear, leaving J Ihe uarts without any mark whatever. ' Blackheads are simply a mixture of ; rlust and dirt and secretions from the i body that form in the pores of the. skin.
