SARDOU IS DEAD.
Passes Away In Paris From
Pulmonary Congestion.
AT THE AGE OF SEVENTY-SEvEN
His First Play Was Kissed, but He
Died With Title of Frances
Greatest Contemporary
Dramatist.
AT THE AGE OF SEVENTY-SEvEN

Paris, Nov. 9.-Victorlen Sardou, the
famous dramatic author, died here of
pulmonary congestion. He was the
dean Of French dramatists and men,
Der of the French academy. The mah
whose first play was Kissed and who
then wanted to go to America to seek
his fortune died rich and honored.
with the proud title Of Frances great
est and most prolific contemporary
dramatist.
Victorien Sardou was possessed of
loved. He was born in Paris Sept. Z,
1881, the son Of Leandre Sardou, an
educationalist At first he studied
medicine, but was obliged, in conse-
quence of the embarrassments of his
family to give private lessons in his
tory, philosophy and mathematics. He
also made attempts in literature, writ
the minor journals.
His first comedy, la Taverne des
Etudiants," was produced in 1854 in
the Odeon, then the second state thea
ter, but it proved a complete failure.
| He then wrote the comedy LES Pattes
de Mouche," which was produced with
great success in 1860 and subsequent
ly adapted for the English stage un-
der the title of "a Scrap of Paper"
At the age Of seventy-fve Sardou
witnessed the production of his latest
drama, "L'Affaire des Poisons," at the
Porte st. Martin theater. This play,
which has to do with the infamous
poisoning camarilla which existed un-
der the reign of Louis XIV. and which
Dec. Z last, is still running to crowded
houses. 's
In 1857 M. Sardou was in a state of
abject poverty and extreme distress.
He was living in garnet and was
prostrated by typhoid fever, but a
neighbor, Mile. de Brecourt nursed
him with tender care during his ILL.,
ness, from which he slowly recovered.
He married her in the following year
and was by her introduced to Mile.
Dejazet, who had just established the
theater which was named after her.
M. Sardou's earlier pieces, after his
first failure, were performed at this
theater. Nine years after his marriage
gloom was temporarily cast over his
career by the death Of his wife.
Almost every land knows the stage

dou's resourceful mind. Nine. Sarah

as Tosca, Fedora, Theodore and Gis'

Are Our ssGood Roads" Bad?

In calling our "good roads, poor
roads the Engineering News is care
full to distinguish between the well
built and the well maintained. A re-
cent issue of this paper discusses the
subject editorially and, citing the
roads of England for example, says
that good roads cared for are always
good. But too often we construct cost
ly macadam highways and then let
them go to ruin. Says the News:
Repair" does not mean the restoration
of ruined portions of the road, but cur
rent maintenance. England not only has
regular road repair, but even the refine
ment of sweeping. The macadam roads
that are most often pointed to with pride,
1.-THE best that we can show in New Jer-
sey or New York or Massachusetts," re-
ceive no greater maintenance attention
than our worst neglected roads. They
are built well, but they are not maintain
ed well. With the partial exception per-
haps OF the roads of one state, they are
not maintained at all, in fact. And this,
no doubt, is responsible for some Of the
difference between American and English
roads.
Pertinent to this question are the
views of Mr.. Samuel Hsll, Washing
ton delegate to the international
Roads association, which met in Paris
in October. Mr. Hill says that "any
country in Europe" maintains better
roads than the United States and that
the root Of the trouble with this coun-
try is lack Of competent engineers. To
quote further:
The only way is to establish a good,
thorough course Of highway engineering
In the universities. Our engineers are
surely as good as any Europeans, but you
cannot ask the farmer to run a bank,
and you cannot ask a man lacking the
necessary knowledge to build a good
road. OF course the department of agri-
cn.ture is largely to blame. The officials
there seem to think that as long as g.
road is open and traversable. no matter
how 1t Is built, 1t Is all right. and that's
the end Of 1t. They don't appreciate that
the farmer can haul his freight over q
clean cut path in half the time that is
taken over a crooked, rocky road such
as those of which we boast.
In the article quoted above the En-
gineering News says that there is mon
ey enough spent In road maintenance
in this country, but the work is with
out competent direction. Until the
system is changed the public will con-
tinue ''to consign its investments of
$4,000 to $4,000 per mile to rot and
neglect"
