GOOD ROADS MovEMENr.

More than two hundred million dol
lars of state appropriations have been
expended to January 1, 1915, and an
approximate total of $1,000 miles Of
surfaced highways constructed under
state supervision since the inaugura-
ton of the policy shown as "State
Aid" according to the Good Roads
Year Book for 1915 to be issued in
March by the American highway asso-
citation from its Washington Office.
Only seven states, namely Florida,
Georgia, Indiana, Mississippi, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. have
no form of state highway department
whatever although Georgia grants
aid to the counties for. road improve
ment by lending the services of the
entire male state convict force. Leg
islatures now in session are devoting
much attention to road legislation and
unquestionably several new highway
departments will result North Caro-
lima Will probably establish an indie
pendent highway department in lieu
of the work done by the state geolog-
ical survey relating to highways.
New Jersey in 1891 was the pioneer
state in providing state aid for pub
lie highways. Massachusetts, and
Connecticut ADOPTED the policy short
ly after, but only during the past ten
years has the state aid policy been in
effect on considerable scale. About
5000 miles of state highways were
completed in 1913 and about 5000
miles in 1914, SO that the past two
years have been responsible for more
than a third of the entire state high
way mileage. The state highways in
merica now exceed by 5000 miles
the national road system of France.
To have state highway departments
placed under non-partisan, efficient
control; skilled supervision required IN
all construction work; proper classi-
fication of highways to insure intelli-
gent distribution of improvements; an
adequate provision for maintenance of
highways from the day of their COM
pletition-these are among the OBJ
iects for which the American highway
association is waging a vigorous cam
pafgn.

Dr.. Menden's Congregation Portray
Series of Incidents to Show He
brew Influence In Ma
tion's Life.

New York Times, February 2: The
Spanish Portuguese Jewish congrega-
ton, the oldest in the United States,
of which the Rev. DR.. II. Pereia
Mendes Is rabbi, gave last night at its
assembly room at Seventeen street
and Central Park west, series OF
tabieaux representing the influence
of Jews on the early history of Amer
lea Many of the characters were rep
resented by the descendants OF the
original characters themselves.
The first scene represented Santan-
gel, the Jewish treasurer of Queen
Isabella, supplying funds to Columbus
for the voyage on which he discov-
cred America.
Another tableau showed Daniel Co
mez, one of the leading merchants OF
New York in the early eighteenth
century, trading with the Indians. The
part Of Gomez was taken by Edgar
Gomez Nathan, lineal descendant.
and the one following depicted Cen
eral Washington praising Sergeant
Phillips, a Jewish revolutionary sol
der. The part Of the sergeant was
taken by one Of his descendants, l..
Phillips Cohen.
The next scene, also of the Revolu-
tonary period, showed Miss Hays,
daughter of prominent patriot Jew,
refusing information to British sol
|diers. The part of Miss Hays was
taken by descendant Of her family,
Miss Judith Hays. In the eighth
tableau was shown Major Andre sa-
luting Rebecca frank as queen of the
ball given by the British General
Howe. The part Of Miss Frank was
taken by Miss Resale Gomez Nathan
Ia descendant. In the ninth scene,
Constable Hays of early New York
was shown arresting jewellers, and the
constable was played by a descend
amt, Daniel P. Hays. Then followed
the representation OK Commodore
Uriah P. Levy denouncing flogging in
the United States navy, with M. A..
Levy, a member of the commodore's
family, taking the principal part.
The last three scenes departed
from American history. The first OF
them was tableau OF the congrega-
ton, personified by Mrs. Frederick
Nathan, and its philanthropies. the
various schools and homes which
originated from suggestions among
it's membership being represented in
the persons Of men and women of the
itself. The next tableau
showed a scene in the life of Queen
Esther, who was represented by Miss
Estella Toledano, and the last was a
special feature OF the work OF the sis
terhood, with parts taken by Mrs.
Mortimer NJ. Menken and Mrs. NJ Mil
liner.

it for Indigestion, gases, heartburn,
sourness, dyspepsia, or any stomach
misery.
