The Hummelstown Pike. e a Har

experts to be a model road. II was
built In 1908, using the telford.maca'
dam construction; native limestone
was used for the telford course, and
Birdsboro trap rock for the TOP, says

There are certain sections OF this
highway that were flooded during a

The road was built nine inches In

EXPERTS MUST BUILD ROADS
Explanation Of Failure Of Authorities
Generally to Maintain Roads

The astonishing results OF a census
taken recently on a secondary thor
Dughfare leading out OF London
showed only s per cent OF horse-drawn
vehicles. The exact count was Is We
hicles OF the latter class TO 500 Va
hicles propelled otherwise than by
horses. Herein lies both an explana-
ton OF the failure OF public authorities
generally throughout the world to
maintain roads and streets in good
condition. and also a presentation OF
the difficulties that road constructors
now confront.

New Plays.

The new Montague Glass play, writ
ten in collaboration with Jules Eckert
Goodman, is to be entitled "Object-
Matrimony." 1t is play of Jewish life
which contains neither Potash nor Perl
mutter, being, it is said, dramatization
of the Glass story, "The Making Over of
Milton' 1t was put into rehearsal yes
terday by William A. Brady, the cast
including Mathilde Cottrelly, Carlyle
Blackwell, Leo Donnelly, Marjorie Wood,
Jess Dandy, Jean Temple and Jules Jor-
dam
The success of Max MARGINS new play,
"Cheating Cheaters," has placed that
young man among the enviable ranks of
reject-proof playwrights. Of the three
plays to his credit two have made big
hits. Another is to be produced in Oc-
tober. All his plays are dramatizations
of short stories published before he took
to play-making
Like so many playwrights, MARGIN be-
gan as metropolitan newspaper report
er. He left newspapering to write pop-
ular fiction, which he ground out by the
ream, most of it under contract. His
is the record for knowing what the pub
fishers want. Out of 200 short stories,
none were rejected
Then ne decided to take year off
and learn to write plays. For his dra.
matte education he went to see plays,
sometimes to the same play five or six
times, studying one point after another,
until he understood the how and why
OF playwriting. Then he wrote his first
play See My Lawyer" and shortly af
terward "The House of Glass" The first
was failure, but the second play made
big nit. The sole function of his plavs
is to entertain, says Mr.. MARGIN.
