Not SO many years ago there was a
great deal of talk about the Camorra, or
Mana. the great secret criminal or
ganization OF Italy. Finally traitor
sneaked out from this body and gave its
secrets away to the Government. Arrests
were made, and then came the famous
Camorrist trial. The organization seemed
killed and stamped out but public In
terest, once aroused In such matters,
wanes slowly. and there Is still a univer-
sal interest In this dread society.
I'm Poor Little Pepplna," the newest
Pickford release, the Malta holds the
centre OF the plot. The villains and there
are many Of them, who "pussyfoot"
around In the most approved movie-melo-
dramatic style, are all members of this
choice organization of enemies to society.
The story deals with the desire for re-
venge OF the Malta leader upon an Amer
lean, who secured his conviction for
crime. The plot is, of course, the abduc-
tion OF the only child of his victim, the
usual method Of acquiring revenge when
ever IL Is necessary to make story.
He succeeds, and the little girl Is taken
to Italy and raised as the daughter OF
Italian peasants. She Is being forced to
marry padrone, whom she loathes, so.
on her wedding day, she runs away, dis
gulsed as an italian boy.
She becomes a stowaway on a vessel
bound for America, and finally reaches
here, only to fall into the hands of the
American branch OF the Malta. Unwit-
tIngly she is the cause OF their downfall,
and the usual end follows.
II is not the story that is remarkable.
II is rather the fine character work done
by the players and the excellent atmos-
phere of Italy which Is found In this
picture.
The supporting cast Is to a great ex-
tent made UP of italian actors Their
work throughout the piece is clean-cut
and delightful.
The real gem of the whole piece is the
Peppina of Mary Pickford. Not since
that marvellous creation, Jean, The
Juggler of Notre Dame, of Mary Gar
den was revealed has as attractive and
Of course, this difference: Miss Gardens
Jean was a boy and Miss Garden herself
a genius, while Miss Pickford's Peppina

rickford herself merely a clever actress.
Yet for all that one finds the same boyish
spirit. freedom of movement and as
surence of art in both characters.

demands of the traffic and at one-tenth the cost.
This point was emphasized in a recent address of Mr.. ].
E. Pennybacker, United States Chief of Road Economics.
to the convention of Virginia Road Builders. 1.-THE Crea-
tor" ne said, exercised a considerable influence in the de-
termination of types of highway by so distributing road
materials to make the type conform to the material avail
able. He placed up and down the length of the great val
ley of Virginia, an abundance of limestone, thus making
feasible at moderate cost the construction of limestone
macadam roads. 1t is idle to talk of building sand-clay
roads in the Valley of Virginia, for while the Creator
gave to that favored region an abundance of clay, He put
most of the sand east of the Blue Ridge, and it can hardly
be contended that sand should be hauled to the Valley of
Virginia in order to build ~sand-clay roads rather than to
construct limestone roads of native material. By the
same token it would be folly to haul limestone to the east
ern, southeastern and southern parts of the state where
sand and clay abound to build roads which can be more
economically constructed of the materials nature has pro-
vided near at hand.
What is true of the conditions in Virginia is true gen
orally of all other states in the union. Leonard Tufts has
built s~ervicable roads in the pineland country of North
Carolina of sand and clay which provide amply for all the
troffic of the region. Gov. Locke Craig, of North Car
DINA, said recently while on a visit to New York, that the
mountain region of his state was never so prosperous and
that "the maximum prosperity has not come from politics
but largely from the building of improved highways so
that the people might get out to market and the automo-
biles get in to the scenery. -Four main highways have
within recent months been cut across the Blue Ridge" 1t
goes without saying that these highways have not been
built of clay and sand. That would be unbusinesslike as
the mountains are full of stone and the lowlands of stone
and clay; the main purpose of the road builders of this
day is to get out of the mud.
No public road is built right that is not built according
to some well approved plan and under competent direc-
ton. The cost should be regulated by the cost of material,
the expense of administration, fixed charges of mainten-
ance and volume of traffic. With Is per cent of the roads
of the country improved according to a definite plan COW
ering all these conditions, it is estimated that the prob
lem would be solved. This would mean the building or
improving of about 100000 miles of rural post roads, or
roads leading to market, and counting the appropriation
provided in the Shakelford bill and the appropriation
made by the several states, it will be possible in the course
of twenty years to provide roads of good quality sufficient
for all the industrial needs OF the country.

twenty-nine and one-half millions to forty-four and one
half millions of dollars, or so per cent. This Increase
and it is an important point to consider-was largely due
to the increased cost of labor. In 1908 wages were six
teen million dollars. In 1912 they had increased to twen-
tysix and a half million, or an increase of s~ixty-eght per
cent, and the total expense, five years after the govern
ment had assumed control, had increased s~ixty-eight per
cent. In the meantime the gross earnings had increased
only IL per cent. In 1911 there $500 more men than in
1908, which is also a significant result.
The Italian government resumed the operation of rail.
employees had increased from 81, 900 to 49,, 900 and the av-
erage wage had increased from $3.50 to S2S7 annually.
The average operating expense while these roads were
under private management from 1899 to 1913, was sixty
seven and one-half per cent; when under government OPP
GRAFTON, the expenses had arisen to 826 per cent.
In 1911 the operating expenses OF the lntercolonlal ran.
road in Canada were 972 per cent of the gross receipts OF
this government-owned line and the net earnings were
less than 5000 per mile, while the net earnings OF all Can
adian railroads including the Intercolonial were S2,2fz per
mile. All of the conditions relating to the territory IN
which the Intercolonial operates are better for SUCCESSFUL
operation than the other sections of Canada, and yet inns
property has cost the taxpayers of Canada, S345OOoOoo'
or $2370 600 per mile, which includes cost OF road, de1lclt
from operation, and unearned interest at Tour per cent III
the investment.
While I am aware that l have imperfectly discussed this
situation-indeed, it is too comprehensive to discuss in a
short time-yet | I'm sure that a fuller investigation Will
confirm the general impression which have attempted
to draw that the government is not organized Tor pusl..
ness purposes, that into its operations must enter all OF
the evils of political influence, that the result would not be
one of making profits, and that putting the government
into business of this kind would mean putting the gov
eminent into competition with the business of its citl-
zens-From address of U. S. Senator John W. Weeks.
