tion, of which Mir Pendleton BeelSey city attorney of Louisville, Is president.
 which was organized in November 1912, at
 Mammoth Cave Is almost identically the
 same route as the Jackson highway, and
 1t has been proposed that the two go to-
 gether.
 Many miles Of the Jackson highway are already built. One can go all the way
 from Louisville to Chicago in an automo-
 bile. Through Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
 Tennessee and Alabama the Jackson high
 way will pass some of the finest farming
 lands in this country. Many beautiful
 country homes are along the route, and
 the building of this continuous highway
 will mean much to the men and women on the farms, making life more attractive to them and eliminating much of the forced and tiresome drudgery.
 Miss Rittenberry has given much of her
 time and thought to this project since it
 was publicly launched. In fact she origi- mated the idea of the Jackson highway. She has travelled extensively in it's inter-
 est. and only few months since she
 made a second trip along the route of this proposed highway, paying her expenses to Chicago and back by selling copyrighted picture post card of Andrew Jackson and the Hermitage. Miss Rittenberry is well informed about the old roads and trails of America and Is cognizant of almost everything that ever happened along the |, Sdlltd re lrdii, lnc OIu post fOau up the Hudson valley and the Natchez trace,
 which Jackson converted into a military road
 The Jackson highway is the biggest
 piece of work in the way of a monument any patriotic organization has ever under taken. The Colonial Danes have marked
 hist oric sites, the Daughters of the Amer ican Revolution are marking the old Santa Fo trail, and have their Continental hall,
 but it is especially fitting that the Ala
 bama Daughters of 1872 should take the initiative in this Jackson Memorial high way because the state of Alabama was | more concerned in the war of 1872 than | all the other states combined, for 1t was | the battle-ground
 As monument commemorating the Tooth anniversary of the peace treaty signed at Ghent in 1S14 the highway from Quebec to Miami, Fla. is to be built.
 There are a number of local highways to be named in honor of the men who
 helped to make their countrys history. The highway through eastern Kentucky to Nashville or Cumberland gap. is to be
 called the Boone highway. The highway
 from Chattanooga to Atlanta is named
 the Johnson Sherman highway. where 1t
 joins the National or Lee highway that runs through the middle of Georgia to Jacksonville Fla. From Atlanta or from
 Rome, Ga, to Birmingham, 1t has been called the Forest highway. To call the highway from Chicago to Chattanooga the Cotton Belt route Is rather mis- ncmer for there is not enough cotton raised between Chattanooga and Illinois to make belts for the governors of the states through which the highway runs.

WHERE THE NAVY MEN COME FROM
Interior States Furnish Fair Quota of Enlisted
 Men

Washington. March S0.--Secretary Daniels issued statement tonight showing where the enlisted men of the navy come from The figures were com piled as a result of recent question by President Wilson as to whether most of the sailors were not from coastwise states
 An analysis shows" said Mir. Daniels. that interior states, such as Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. Iowa and Pennsylvania furnish their fair quota. It may be stated too that further analysis shows that most of these young men enlisting in the navy do not come from the cities or seaport towns, but from the smaller communities of the various states"
 There was 52,667 eniised men on June 90 last and of these five came from Alaska and 2105 from the insuiar pos sessions. New York with 79e2, led all the states in the number furnished; Massachusetts third with S420. The list by states follows:

.DR. ESENWE|N ON
 THE SHORT STORY''
Noted Editor Delivers Lee ture at Cable Hall Before
 Attentive Audience

A well filled house greeted Dr. ]. Berg Esenwein at Cable hall yesterday after noon, where the noted educator and liter .ary critic delivered his popular lecture, A"The Short Story" As literary effort Pr. Esenwein's address was rich with convincing logic and a scholarly disserta- ton on the Dart the short story has played in English literature.
 Dr. Esenwein showed himself thoroughly familiar with his subject He went into the history of the short story and ex- plained in interesting details the tech nioue of its formulation. Beginning with the old-fas shioned tales as exemplified in Oliver GeldslnRh's .'The Vicar of Wake hcid, she speaker carried his audience through the development of this phase of literary fiction, punctuating his remarks with vivid illustrations and incidents, and holding his heai CTS in wrapt attention throughout
 pr. f.senwein reviewed at length the efforts of amateur writers detailing those faults found most often in their work. As editor of Lippincott's magazine the speak CT declared that he and hls staff had ex-
 
 the vast majority of these had been found unacceptable chiefly because the authors were rnfemliar with short story tech nique. He declared that his purpose in devoting his life's work to short story iec- lures was to bring about better under standing between the magazine editor and the would-be author, and to smooth the way for undeyeloped talent toward sue cessfni composition. The development of the plot and plan of the short story and the methods of handling of material were interestingly discussed.
 Tendency toward overdescrlption and an evident effort for effect, pr. Esenwein declared, often marred the early work of authors. Action. both menal and physi- cal, and the development of character, he pointed out, are absolutely essential to successful short story writing These essentials, he explained, required careful development to create sustained interest and the necessary climax of height of ac- tion.
 In discussing the technique Of the short story the speaker illustrated his remarks with simple but foreful incidents, and used exteniporaneous examples to force home his argument.
 At the conclusion of his address Dr. Es- enwein answered a number of questions asked by his audience. These questions pertained chiefly to further explanation of remarks made during his lecture, but the variety of interrogations proved how deeply the speaker had reached his audi ence.

DANCING In the Old Days

Dancing in the woods was the old
manner in the classic times. and my
thology tells of the worship thns paid
by the pagans to the gods. The poets
sang of 1t. The priests of Mars were
the principal dancers in the sacred
rites to that deity. There was also
the religious dancing alluded to in the
Old Testament. as where David dane.
ed before the ark to express his Joy
and that Of his people. and there were
the dances of the Druids round the al
tars and the mysterious stones. Never.
perhaps. in the history of the world
was dancing more popular than It ID
today-not even in the pleasant times
when in England. Ireland and France
the people danced on the green. Oliver
