They meet at Monte Carlo.
 The melodramatic features of MT. .GreA of Monte Carlo" revolve around the efforts of an English secret ser vice operative to learn details of the meeting a young American, Richard Lane, who falls in love with the Grand Dukes daughter, plays a part in the story. The action of the photo play takes place on land and sea. Right ultimately t:1umphs and the Duchess marries the young Ameri- can.

aid system of good roads. The great
est achievement has been the prepara-
ton of road maps by 102 counties and
their revision by the state commission
so that all state roads unite at the
county lines and we have a compre-
hensive, connected, continuous, practi-
cal network of 10000 miles Of public
highway, uniting the Wisconsin Dor
der with Cairo and the Indiana line
with the Mississippi.
Progress Made i'm Work.
AT the close of the year 1915 there
had been completed 900 miles of con-
crete, 224 miles of brick, IL miles of
gravel and one mile OF macadam road,
a total of lis miles. Eighty-one
bridges had likewise been built In ads
dition to these rs miles, the state
highway commission supervised the
construction of 81 miles of township
road in 1915.
During 1916 we expect that 40 miles
of state-aid road will be built. Many
counties are going to try oil. The COM
mission will permit the use Of state
aid funds for oiling under certain re-
strictions, though it does not recon-
mend this method and many road stu
dents are skeptical of its economic
value The 470 miles mentioned will
be made up of II miles of brick, SIS
miles Of concrete, % miles of gravel
| five miles of water bound macadam
/ six miles of bituminous macadam, $50
miles of oiled road and 100 miles of
plain earth.
! Consequently, gentlemen Of Jackson
vile, | believe that Illinois is fairly
started upon one of its very greatest
and most important enterprises, one
that will benefit the business and So
cial interests of its people far beyond
our fondest dreams.
THE pioneering has been done. Op-
/! position based on fear and ignorance
has given place to satisfaction and
interest We have law that is elias
tic and comprehensive. Our theory of
state-aid is correct in principle ana
workable in practice. In 10 years our
[ position in the matter OF public high
| ways will be of fame rather than of
notoriety."

which boast the best pavements, and
our larger cities are paved to the ex-
tent of from so to Is per cent of their
street milage.
Il was not surprised when | made
my campaign for governor, nearly four
years ago, TO find our public highways
in such a disreputable condition, little
better in fact than l had known as a
boy
Il realized from a new experience
how perfectly humiliating was our
place as twenty-third among the states
in the area of permanently improved
rural highways.
Here was my state, the state whose
public interests / was anxious to be
elected to serve as governor, the rich
est in agriculture products and land
values, its soil on the average three
times more valuable than that of any
other state, vet its rural life embar-
COED and isolated by the most print
tive means of communication, its mar
kets, its centers of business and its
gathering places of men and women
separated from country life by i'm
passable barriers.
THE federal reports told me that
only 10 per cent of the $4,000 miles of
. road in Illinois were improved in a
permanent manner. against IS per
cent in Indiana. 20 per cent in Wiscon-
sin and Kentucky. % per cent in Ohio
and so per cent in Massachusetts.
"On every hand l thought l saw the
time was ripe for great forward
movement in this matter. The agita-
ton for better roads which had been
more or less active for number of
years had begun to assume determi-
nation to do something concrete.
Property owners, land owners, city
and country people alike were coming
TO see and to understand what ire
mendous, economic and social loss was
entailed by our poor roads.
in my inaugural message in Janu-
airy, 1918, devoted space to as strong
a presentation of this subject as was
! within my power. This message con-
tanned the following passage; The
loss to farmers because of inaccessi-
bic primary markets, and the abnor-
nal expense of transportation due TO
| bad roads, must be considered as a
! contributing cause of the high cost Of
( living.s "s* $Bad roads not only him
der crop production and marketing, but
they keep the rural consumer away
| from the store Of the merchant for
weeks at a time. They keep the pupils
from schools and voters from political
gatherings and from participating in
elections. They impair the efficiency
Of churches, and social, fraternal and
other organizations Bad roads con-
/ tribute to the unattractiVeness, the
! isolation and the monotony OF country
| life that are responsible for the de-
sertion OF rural precincts, especially
by the young. Experts in mental all
ments agree that women in remote
sections are the chief sufferers from

Springfield, Ill-Governor's DUNES
praise OF the work which is being
done to pull Illinois out of the mud
was voiced in the following address
which he delivered recently at Jack
sonville.
For the greater part Of my life, a
resident of our metropolis, and during
many years more or less a part of its
public service, I was none the less un-
Informed as to rural highway cOndi-
tons in our state of Illinois
Il knew from my early years what
the roads Of Illinois were. My travels,
my reading and my contact with men
from the counties outside of Cook,
kept me well informed, especially as
had always been intensely interested
in the problem of highways and had
made it a point to keep posted. AS
mayor OF Chicago and as judge of the
courts Of Cook couney, l gained prac-
teal knowledge of the progress OF
street building, and after all. the prob
lem in the city or country presents
many similar phases.
i could well remember the remon-
strances that accompanied the agita-
ton for improved streets in our cit
les. We were told by honest, sincere
people, that our streets could not be
paved; that paving meant personal
and corporate bankruptcy; that the
benefits pictured by good street ad-
Focates were iridescent dreams. We
can all recall those things. for we
have only started to pull our cities
out of the mud during the last 20
years.
We all know what has happened.
Opposition to good streets has passed
1t has been transformed into demand
lor the best streets. We know how the
cost Of such improvement has decreas-
Cd and the quality has risen. There
are scores Of the villages Of our state
