 In regard to the city highways Street Gommlssloner MeCartin said yesterday:
 "The rains washed the streets very badly, especially those which have not been paved with any sort of material. Many of the maeadamized streets were left in bad condition. The rains were very heavy, as every one knows, and the down. pour one day was almost unprecedented. The heavier the fall of water in given length of time, the worse the streets are washed.
 It will require about three weeks to make the repairs, and I have all the street force which Is available on that work at present. The gangs of men are on the northsde at present and as soon as they repair the worst damages in that section they will go to the seuthside
 ''The maeadam streets are repaired by first laying heavy large pieces of slag and then placing ehert on top of this. A light rain will help maeadam street when in that condition.
 We cannot repair the streets in day and we are doing the work just as rapid ly as possible"

National Theatre.

Speaking of the movement now under way in New York to build national theatre, endowed with 5000, 600. Dr. Rich ard Burton. the lecturer and playwright, said when seen at the Hillman yester- day
 Tt will be the greatest thing concev- able for the drama; a national theatre is a vital need for which 1 have long been an advocate.
 "Sordid considerations of the coffee, which hitherto have stood in the way of the production of plays of the highest dramatic merit will be eliminated and the national theatre will be the patron of art for arts sake only. The first the atre of the kind was built in France, twenty years ago. Germany recognized its vast importance and finally-England is always slow--it became an English in- stitution.
 For years in this country have seen signs. like dust particles In the sunlight clearly. indicating the unrest over the present box office methods; and not only that the necessity for national theatre was being felt. but that it's realization was not far off.
 My latest play just ort-published last week-would have been an impossibility ten years ago. No publisher would have wanted it, and feel that I am veteran This Is my ninth book
 The play of which he spoke is "Rahab," biblical drama in three acts, written in blank verse and published by Henry Holt and Company.
 The Louisville Courier-Journal speak ing of 1t says in part: 'Those who have had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Burton declare his persuasions on the subject, or who have perhaps seen them set down in black and white in his interesting essays on poetry and the drama and similar topic approach Rahab with great ex- pectations. But neither in this re- spect or in other respects has there been a breach of faith. While saving its in- trinsic ends Rahab may stand, with the authors lectures and essays as further comment and criticism on the modern poetic drama"

The macadam streets of Birmingham are in a worse condition now than they have been in a long time, due to the fact that they were badly washed by the recent heavy rains. It is possible that they are in as bad condition as they have ever been since they were cherted.
 7 Street Commissioner McCartin estimates that It will require the street force several weeks to put the macadam streets back in the condition they were before the rains, and he already has the entire force at work making the repairs as rapidly as possible. Several streets were washed a great deal more than others, among these being South Eighteenth street and South Twentieth street Ninteenth street north of Sixth avenue was also badly washed. and deep ruts were formed in many of the unpaved streets on both of the Highlands.
 The rains were heavier and of longer duration than any experienced in a num- ber of years in Birmingham. and for that reason the streets were washed deeper than usual. It will therefore require long
