1915 REVIEW OF
IOWA ROAD WORK
WET WEATHER OF PAST SUMNER
WAS A SERIOUS HANDICAP.
MANY RECOGNIZE NOATIoNS MADE
Highway Commission Would Put Ban
On cross-state Races - Would
Hold Automobile Fund For
Permanent Road Work.

Des Moines, Jan. 5.-Iowa speni
$11,O0G,0OO. in 1915 improving the
roads and bridges, 100000 less thar
in 1914, according to the report o.
the state highway commission filed
with Governor George w. Clarke
The wet weather of the summer seri
ously delayed road work, but much
was accomplished nevertheless, the
commission asserts.
The important recommendations
made by the combustion are:
That the patrol system Of road
maintenance be established.
That Iowa permit counties to
issue bonds for permanent road
work.
That the state automobile fund
be held for state aid for perma-
nent road work only.
That Iowa make appropriations
to correspond with federal road
appropriations available in this
state
That convict labor be employed
in the quarries to get out broken
stone for road work.
That the state adopt a uniform
set of regulations for motor traf-
fic such as in use in Ohio
That cross-state auto races be
discouraged.
That no transmission lines be
permitted along the public high
ways.
A detail statement of the road and
bridge work will be filed after the
commission receives the reports from
the county engineers Feb. /. Dean
Marston, member of the commission,
added that Iowa is getting the best
bridges and culverts of any state in
the union and that other states are
recognizing it. Although the coun-
ties did much in 1915 toward grading
the roads, the work ahead is so great
that II viii take wars to complete
the grading alone, Unless the work is
speeded up, declared II. G. Beard, al
so of the commission.
More than 12l dangerous railroad
crossings we're looked after last year
by the commission. The railroads
this year have renewed their agree
ment to work with the commission
on a plan of widening the present
crossings and reducing the grades of
the approaches.
The adoption of uniform regulations
for motor traffic is recommended for
the reason that travel on the high
ways is becoming somewhat danger
Gus, the commission says. Cross state
races are discouraged because 1t en-
courages the auto owners to travel
about the state at the highest speed
obtainable from their cars.

1.-THE Chocolate Soldier"

THE Chocolate Soldier" which
will make a bid for favors in this city
at the Grand soon, cannot be compaf-
ed to other musical productions, be
aoae its Individuality sets it far apart
0nd above the many musical atrocities
@i,h which theater goers have in the
past been cheated. It's story, drawn
rom. ShaW's arms and the Man" is
N itself a classic Of charming. whole
some and penetrating comedy. The
wild and merry exploits of the choco-
late soldier among the susceptible wo-
men of Bulgaria and the peacocks of
the Bulgarian army, the way in which
he ridicules their vanities and puts to
shame their fObiles, form a libretto
that will eXhilerate tired minds and
cure the most confirmed hypochon-
driac.
But the supreme strength of the
opera dies in the music of Oscar
Starus, which illumines and interprets
every phrase of the story and leaves
it's audience dizzy with establishment
at the versatility and beauty of its
melodies. With admirable adroitness
Straus has caught the undercurrent of
ridicule that flows through every
scene, even the most serious, and en-
bodied it in telling an unforgettable
musical phrases.
