MAINTENANCE OF
ROADS IMPORTANT
Declares Administration of
Highway Affairs De
serves More Attention.

Road building is developing new
science that calls for the highest engi-
nccring skill, says Roy u. Chaplin,
chairman of the good roads committee
of the National Automobile Chamber
OF Commerce. THE advent Of the
automobile and motor truck has
hrou-ht new problems that must be
studied and solved
In Massachusetts S2lR per cent OF
all traffic on the state highway system
last year was motor driven. In New
York city automobiles, motor trucks
and motor umnibuscs constitute nearly
sevcn-tenths OF all wheeled traffic, OK
elusive of street cars and motorcycles.
Similar conditions will soon prevail in
all parts of the country.
Rapidly changing traffic condi-
uons demand the services Of tech
nically trained men who are not only
qualified civil engineers, but who
have made study of road economies
and the wearing qualities and cost of
construction and maintenance of diff
terent kinds of pavements, because
the proper administration of road af-
fairs Is more essential than the highest
degree of engineering skill.
Too often faulty road conditions
are due to too small appropriations in
the cndeavor to make a cheap surface
endure under heavy traffic Where
traffic of any consequence exists the
cheapest road to build Is usually the
most expensive in the end Efficient
highway engineers Will save taxpayers
millions of dollars In years to come
by the selection of proper materials
and hiEh-cldSs construction work.
Some Of the states and cities re-
Quirc candidates for appointment to
the highway departments to pass a
ciVtl service examination, thus re-
moving the offices from political in
flucuco. This is greatly to be desired.
Men who have shown good admins
trative ability should be continued in
office. In the communities where
this policy has been followed there Is
general satisfaction with road and
street conditions" Dallas News

"The Hawk

MT. William Faversham will come to the Jefferson theatre tonight in his great suc- cess, "The Hawk" This is a love romance of modern life and affords MT. Faversham an opportunity to display the fine art which has made him an exceptional figure upon the American stage. For num- Der of seasons Mr. Faversham has been devoting himself to productions of roman tic and classic plays, but with that round- ed art which has enabled him to play so many characters well, he returns to this modern part and gives the same finished and easy impersonation as marked his work when he was devoting himself ex- clusively to like characters.
 Richard Henry Little of the Chicago Herald said, in his review of the play We had almost forgotten what great acting in the theatre was, but Mr. Faver- sham brought it to us again." This we'll merited praise sums up the value of the attraction which is coming to us. Mir Faversham has surrounded himself with ar excellent company, each of whom brings to the interpretation of the respec- tive roles an artistry making for a per- feet ensemble performance.
