WHEN We WERE FRIENDS

Appropriately to the comedy drama
When We Were Friends" has its
striking contrast Of comedy and pa
thos. a wonderfully interesting
heart story plot, winds and unwinds
itself leisurely through the entire per
formance and holds the audience in
spell-bound attention, and makes one
laugh for each succeeding event. It
is as well a costume play, a beauti-
ful and stunning display Of gowns.
The tasteful dressing throughout the
entire performance is one Of the fea-
lures. Some of the most intensely in
teresting dramatic situations are re
lieved by fresh bits Of unpretentious
comedy and tender sentiment, and
throughout the entire performance is
wave of morality that is uplifting;
it reaches out over the footlignts and
sends US nome with a feeling that
there is lot Of good in life and that
we are really better for having seen
a performance of such unusual ex-
cellence. Manager Burt annunces

Practical Illustration of Economy.
The following interesting item is
from a personal letter to the editor of
the Good Roads Magazine from w. w.
Crosby, chief engineer Of the Maryland
geological survey. AS 1t illustrates In
a practical way the economy of an
improved road we take the liberty of
printing the extract referred to. It
serves to show the farmer what good
road really means:
Just as opened your letter caller from
Prince Georges county came in. Last year
we built nearly four miles OF road in three
different sections of this county, one OF
which was on the road between Washing
ton and Hyattsville. My caller this morn
ing stated in the course of his conversa-
ton that prominent resident near Hy-
attsviIle told him only the other day that,
while this mile which We improved last
year used to be almost the worst stretch
of road between his place and the city OF
Washington now whenever he sent a
load of produce into the city he sent bach
I to his farm two horses out of the team
/ as soon as 1t reached the near end of oul
/ improved section And he was now, az
/ said, beginning to realize in more sub
| stantial and intimate way than ever be
fore what the Improvement Of the coun
I try roads according to modern methods
meant to the individual farmer.

ROAD DUST REMEDY.
Sea Salt and Sea Water Used a. .
Cheap Method.

Consul D. l. Murphy, writing from
Bordeaux, says that considerable at
tention has been attracted Of late to
the problem of combating road dust,
which is not only inconvenient and un-
pleasant, but has been found deleteri-
Gus to health.
The Medical society of Bordeaux
called attention to the evils arising
from this cause and the number and
nature of diseases directly traceable
thereto. Tar seems to have many ad-
vOcates as a layer of dust, but it's use
has been found to have some disagree
able accompaniments. Sea salt and
sea water have been proposed as
cheaper and more effective remedies
than tar. The idea of using sea salt
seems to be based upon its well known
property, especially when in large
grains, of absorbing the moisture Of
the atmosphere. 1t is this property, 1t
is claimed, that will dampen the dust
and thus prevent its dissemination.
DR.. Carl, an eminent chemist of Bor-
deaux, exploits the merits Of sea wa
ter He mentions the fact that when
salt extracted from sea water becomes
damp it is because Of the impurities it
contains pure salt not being hygro-
scopic), carbonate Of magnesium and
calcium being the principal impurities
which provoke this liquefaction.
1t has been suggested that these
salts might be put into the ordinary
water used for sprinkling the roads,
AS prepared in the laboratory, how
ever, or as found as residuum in the
factory, carbonate of magnesium and
calcium have market value which
would make their general use very ex
pensive.
DIR. Carl points out that these salts
abound in sea water, from which II

clares, will be found most efficaciOu
in laying the dust and preventing it
dissemination. The expense woul'
seem to be trifing. No disagreeabl
odors would offend the nostrils and II
deleterious effects follow its use.
In American places not far from tn
sea the method advocated by DR.. Cal
might be found both inexpensive an

BAD ROADS IN ILLINOIS.
To Better Them State Will Make Use
of It's COnvicts.

COnvicts of Illinois are assisting In
the construction of hard roads by run
ming stone crushers that have recently
been installed at both the Joliet and
Chester penitentiaries, says q Bloom
ington special to the New York Even
ing World. At the former the output
is about 400 cubic yards per day, filing
eleven of the largest cars. 1t is plan
ned to increase the output shortly to
twenty cars per day.
Any county Or township that will un-
dertake to build hard roads will be
given all they want of this crushed
rock free, the only expense being that
of the freight from the panitentiary to
the destination. Illinois is said to pos
sess more miles of poor highway than
any other state in the west.
The state highway commission has
now taken I'D the question of con
| structing sample stretches of roads in

GREAT NATIONAL HIGHWAY.

Enthusiastic Aut0ists Plan One Be-
tween Chicago and New York.
DR.. Gardiner S. Chaplin and II. Sar-
gent Michaels Of Chicago arrived re-
Gently at New York after covering in
an automobile 1900 miles seeking
route for national highway between
Chicago and New York. They left their
city on Sept 10 and since then have
been surveying roads, studying the
soil Of which they are composed, pho
tographing the surrounding country,
marking on their maps the location OF
gravel pits and quarries and gathering
material for a. presentation to congress
of proposition that the government
place its mark Of approval on and give
its aid to the construction OF national
highway between the two cities. says
the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Dr. Chaplin is a young man of wealth.
He is an enthusiastic automobilist who
does not believe in exceeding the speed
limit He is not interested in automo-
bile races, although he is much inter-
ested in the development of the gaso-
| line engine and the storage battery.
He believes that with a highway that
viii furnish good travelling across half
| the continent the various states will
/ then concentrate their good roads
movements into providing feeders for
that highway and that eventually trav-
ell by automobile will be common be
tween distant points. and that the
/ farms will be able to assert their indie
pendence of the railroads as gasoline
and electric vehicles become cheaper
and more fitted to the demands of
farmers.
DR.. Chapin's trip to New York has
provided him with a set of field notes
so complete that he believes congress
cannot fail to be interested in them
They include conditions of soil, grade
percentages, location of gravel pits
stone quarries, stone deposits, sugges
tions for roads that will feed the mair
highway and much general information
valuable to road construction experts.
Dr. Chaplin when he has finished will
his resurvey will present his maps ant
materials to representatives in con
gress and have the matter taken UP II
committee When his plan has th'
stamp of approval of the government
the agitation for highway will b.
started in the state legislatures.

The Caterpillar.

The caterpillar spends his life in try
ing to keep out of eyerybody's way.
Some species hide on the under sur
face of leaves others on the stems OF
blades of grass, which serve them as
food; others again build little nests for
conccalment or else they lie snugly hid
den between the curled edges of leaves,
which they draw close together until
the opposite edges meet. The caterpil-
lar is a sociable creature in his own
family. He knows that there is safety
in numbers, and you will find whole
companies feeding side by side while
keeping a sharp lookout for their bird
enemies, but when a caterpillar is by
himself he scarcely dares to move for
fear of attracting attention. Even
when he is obliged to change his skin
he doesn't venture to leave his old coat
lying around. The moment that he
takes 1t off he eats 1t. The caterpillars
that live In companies shed their skin
boldly. Only the poor solitary fellows
feel forced to swallow their old clothes.

IMPROVEMENT.
amount for constructing a road from
MOsheim to Romeo, on the north side
of the county. Our crew is now at
work on that section and expects to
finish it in short time. We are con-
fdent of being able to grade thirty
five or forty miles Of road with the
$4,000.
This object lesson has converted the
people more readily than anything else
ever done, and the cry now is. Bond
the county for $300,000: give us the
roads at once, and let the taxes we are
now paying meet the interest instead
of building the roads,
We begin no road before the right Of
way is secured for fully forty feet in
width, and for another road. four miles
/ long, we have asked for sixty feet,
which is being rapidly obtained, and
will build a road not exceeding 2 per
cent grade at any point. Placing a
good road where it should be. cutting
down the steep hills and giving the
farmers an easy pull. is the best argu-
ment that can be put up, and when we
shall have completed the road in at
least FIVE sections of the county lead
ing toward tile county seat, there will
be no difficulty in carrying the bond
proposition with an overwhelming ma
jority.
We have found Oh one road consider
able gravel that will possibly be suffi
cient to macadamize the six miles now
graded, and we purpose to utilize du.
ing the winter months our twenty
mules and wagons by having the coun
ty convicts haul the gravel and place
on the same.

AS secretary Of the association l pro-
posed to the court that l would donate
to the county my services as expert
road builder Gn the direction of the
construction Of graded dirt roads, if
they would purchase the necessary out
fit and allow me to employ a compe-
tent engineer and foreinen. The court
granted this request and made direct
levy that gave us the expenditure of
$4,000 for grading the roads and put
ting in necessary culverts and bridges
My first work was to purchase twenty
good mules, twelve two wheeled scrap

soon we were invited to begin work
over three different routes.
Notwithstanding the fact that Nt
have had more rain this season than il
