Of Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett's
story. 1.-THE Dawn of Tomorrow"
One critic declares Of her interpreta-
ton of the leading role in the play
that "Miss Robson's Glad stood out
as the most striking creation Of the
year" Glad Is a woman Of the Lon
don slums who is not wholly bad. In
deed. despite her surroundings she
proves worthy of better things and
with the delicate touches Miss Robson
imparts to the role the character be-
comes one well worth portraying.
The question has more than once
been raised rs to the propriety Of
plays which depict so realistically the
characters and ways of the under
world. The matter depends, Of course,
great deal on the way in which the
thing is done. For instance, a woman
of real ability and of high dramatic
ideals like Mrs. Fiske can portray
part like Becky Sharp or Mary Of
Magdala or Hedda Gabler, in which
there may be lines that would be ques-
tionable on the lips of some women. in
such a way as not to offend the most
easily shocked sensibilties. Mrs
Fiske, who made her first appearance
as child actress on the stage Of the
Fourteenth Street. New York, almost
thirtynine years ago. has won such a
standing that the public is more ready
to see any part she plays in the right
light than it would be in the case of
an actress who did not enjoy SO good
repute. Speaking of her idea of such
character as Salvation Nell, Mrs.
Fiske recently said:
at was the poetry of the play that
appealed to me most of all--what
some of the reviewers and many 9th
crs seem to have missed altogether.
OF course the truth of Mr.. Shcdon's
play, its faithful realism to use Il
stock term, impressed me more and
more as | went along. l had barely
finished reading the last act when my
decision was made. The truth, the

ASPHALT IN ROCK ROADS.
An Improvement Suggested For the
Use of Motor Cars.

Use Of Motor Cars.
States that are considering good
roads are likely to be interested in the
suggestions recently made in Wash
ington by AMI L. Barber. who has
spent his life in the asphalt business.
If it Is at all feasible 1t would apply
chiefly in thickly settled districts, and
especially in the vicinity of cities,
where motor cars, as in Jackson coun-
ty. Mo-. are beginning to wear out the
highways.
Macadam has not stood up under the
tremendous grinding Of the heavy
high speed cars. and the Massachu-
sets highway commission and the
federal government are conducting ex-
periments to find a substitute.
Mr.. BARRIERS suggestion. made at the
annual meeting of the Independent AS
phalt association In Washington, Is
that the problem could be solved b.
laying strip Of asphalt in the middle
Of macadam road. Taking the aver
age cost Of making a sixteen foot mac
adam roadway at $4,000 mile, Mr.
Barber estimated the total cost of a
sixteen foot road with six foot strip
Of asphalt In the middle at about 3d.
coo mile, an increase Of so per cent
Horses can be driven on the mac.
adam, as now. If desired" Mr.. Barber
said. "Motor cars when the road Is
clear will have an ideal surface In the
middle, equal to billiard table, with
no ruts or Jumps to look out for When
the cars meet they may slow down
and turn out so as to run upon the
macadam only on one side and for a
few feet, and when rain first falls on
the asphalt. making 1t slippery. they
can run with one side on the pavement
and one side on the macudam to avoid
skiGding. When on the strip of pave
ment in the middle they will cause
neither dust nor wear.
FINALLY. and If no other advantage
were to be gained, farmers can haul on
the asphalt more than double TIE load
that they can maui On r"o#Cth. jil5
consideration alone should Ge"ld" the
matter in favor Of the asphalt strip"
Mr.. Barber expressed the opinion
that the federal government ought to
appropriate $2OOO0,OOO year for
roads, to be apportioned to states pro
viding three times the amount re-
ceiyed

OLYMPIA, Feb. 5.-With the
passage in the house and senate
of bills which will give dependent
parents, sisters and brothers the
right to sue for damages in case
of the killing of their provider, la
Dor unions and the workingman in
general have won a legislative vic
tory that has been fought at ev-
cry legislature for the past IA
years.
Always the forces of the corpor-
atoms were too strong in one or
the other branches of the legisla-
ture or in both, and a law remain
ed on the statute books which all
but paid corporation lawyers de-
clared was shame to the state.
The law now limits the right to
sue for damages to the widow or
children, and makes the life of an
unmarried man worth nothing to
those dependent upon him. Boiled
down to a coldblooded statement,
a sawmill or a railroad would rath-
er kill an unmarried employee out

possession of the property of the
late August Carlson, the contractor,
who died in the Mechanics hotel

worth $4,000. Ward made affidavit
to the court that sister in Mime

heirs of Carlson and asked that
they be appointed administrators.
On the arrival here of the sister,
she stated that their mother, Mrs.
Ward, sister of Carlson, was still
alive and desired to act as admin
istrator of her brothers estate. On
learning of this Ward claimed that
he thought his mother was dead,
but now contests her right to ad-

ground that she is insane. Judge
