LECTURE ON
GOOD ROADS LAST NIGHT

Concrete highways were the sub.
iect of great deal Of discussion last
evening, after aslecture delivered on
the same by F.. NJ. Schilling, of the
Lehigh Portland Cement Co.
The lecture was attended by a
number of interested citizens of this
city and vicinity, and throughout
proved most interesting.
Mr.. Schilling~ pointed out through
the medium of comparative costs the
adaptability of this form Of con-
struction in road building. The fig
ures given on maintenance costs
fer concrete roadways were pointed
out to be about $27 per mile per
year, while the native stone road
ways were costing the taxpayers in
some instances ten times this sum.
Mr.. Schilling pointed out that in
some parts of this State bonds were
issued for the construction of brick
highways, bonds to mature in ten
years, and in great many instances
the roads were ready for reconstruc-
ton before the bonds reached ma
turity. 1t was also stated that the
brick and concrete roadways cost
approximately the same as regards
initial COSTS.
During the course of the lecture,
the method of preparing the sub
base grades, mixing, placing, finish
ing, and ageing, were depicted by a
series of stereopticon views, and
practical demonstration of the plac-
ing of expansion joints was given by
the use of small section of eX-
pansion joint, known as the truss
con method.
Apparently this lecture has
awakened spirit Of interest in this
particular form of construction, and
the method seems well worth adopt
ing.
Mr.. Schilling has been conduct
ing a campaign throughout this
State on concrete highways and re-
ports remarkable progress at Port
Tampa, New Smyrna, Orlando and
Miami.

is undoubtedly ono Of the strongest
dramas of the day, and with Willard

leading roles, and supported by the
pick of the Utah stock company, Utah

There are but three acts to the play
and only eight persons in the cast, but
they tell a wonderful story-a story
that grips at the heart, quickens the
pulse, and causes one TO reflect deeply
upon the problems Of love and llfc.
The story mostly concerns Stanard
Dole an artist, his wife, some years
and surgeon. and young and beautl-
ful woman known as Ethel Toscanl,
secretary to the artist, Around them
revolves the marital contretemps of the
Doles and the Bristols, bringing to the
fore the question OF single or double
standard of morals, and ending in a
near tragedy.
Dole, the artist, a man of big brain,
genius and capability. is married to a
woman several years his elder, "A WON.

who does not realize the value Of keep

There enters into Dole's life the beau

half Italian. He falls in love with her
and she believes she loves him. Dole
breaks down the barriers between them
and she becomes almost all to him that
woman can be to man, and he socks q
way to rid himself OF the matrimonial
yoke that is crushing him.

confides to Ethel that any severe shock
will prove fatal TO Dole. The latter
loves the girl sincerely, but when he
talks with her about their future she
foIrgets the, physicians warning and
tells Dole that she no longer cares for
him and that she is engaged to DIR.

Two years later DR. Bristol and Ethel

TT isn't stylish. of course, to have
such q tremendous family, and the
fact that they are all girls Is
enough TO make any woman throw
up her hands in depreciation. Think OF

1t is certainly Rooseveltian task, but
there is one woman in the United

NM title of n big production Will
WV headline the new Orpheum bill,
commencing this afternoon.
With a company OF fifteen, each Sc
lected for the type, three scenes and a
gripping story running for noarly a
solid hour, 1.-THE Systcm,' with Tay-
lor Granville and Laura Pierpont in
the leading roles, should be the talk
Of tho town by tomorrow morning.
1.-The System deals with tho under
world, the slunls and a crooked police
department. 1t is intense and grip
ping from the start. while among the
many characters depicted the most
notable performances are undoubtedly
those OF Mr.. Granville, as "The Eel, 81
and Laura Pierpont as his girl. The
one great asset Of ''The SYSTEM is
its character drawings, and the admlra-
BILE company throughout shows the
great care that has been taken in col
lecting cast that fits perfectly 10
type.
Another representative act, probably
the best In vaudeville OF its classfi-
cation, is that presented by George
Lyons, a harpIst Of ability, and Bob
Yosco, n singer. Dressed as street
singers, these two play and sing their
way into the hearts OF their audiences
IN q fashion that invariably comes
close to stopping the show on every
appearance.
Bert Levy, another unique entertain
er on the new bill, is a character OF
country wide fame as an artist. lie
does his work in u typical artist S stu.
dlo, and by an arrangement Of lights
and lenses, every stroke of his pencil
on small disk on which he works at
the table is projected upon the wall of
his studio He treats all kinds of sub
jects in Il humorous fashion, and his
act throughout is constant delight.
