ABOUT BETTER STREETS

The heavy expense involved in the
construction of brick or bitulithic
streets amounts in some instances
almost to confiscation OF abutting

Importance that some cheaper meth

treated, should be found. Last sum-

pertinent being tried by the Washing
ton department of agriculture in con

reputation in his profession, looking
to cheap, efficient and economical
construction of streets with gravel
and tar, On the occasion OF a brief

old acquaintance. The street Is beau

this season of the year very hard. but

street should be thoroughly sprinkled

to become perfectly dry. Immedi-
ately before putting on the tar the
street should be swept with a street

at a higher temperature than 212
degrees Mr.. Lancaster states that
much volatile matter essential to the
preservation of the street escapes
The cost of the tar and spreading is
placed by the engineer at "a cents

endorsing the street the department
and Mr.. Lancaster are waiting until
cold weather has further tested 1t.

1t seems to be an undeniable fact
that the American public prefers
happy ending to play. So strong is
this feeling that many times play
has been rewritten and the logical
sad ending made happy one before
success was attained. 1t the case of
THE Clansman" Thomas Dixon, Jr's,
wonderful play, the ending is happy
and that is the logical ending. So as
it happens the auditor is sent away
from the theatre in a happy frame of
mind, and yet the play is written on
logical lines. 1t is seldom the case
that a play of such impressiveness
and power, dealing with a tremen-
dous problem, ends in so pleasing a
manner. 1.-THE Clansman" is under
lined for appearance at The Ken
