NOTES OF ART AND ARTISTS

| industrially pertaining to the great
war. Mr.. Pennell has found an element
of beauty in each. and in some IN
stances has made this beauty patent
But, as H. G. Wells says in his intro
duction to the catalogue, he shows not
only how great but how terrible are
these activities. Among them," to
quote directly from Mr.. Wells, go the
little figures of men, robbed of all dom
nance. robbed of all individual quality.
Mr.. Pennell leaves it for you to draw
the obvious conclusion that presently,
If we cannot contrive to put an end to
war, blacknesses like these, enormltles
and fairies and towering threats Will
follow in the track of the tanks ana
come trampling over the pickering con-
fusion OF mankind"
This is a different view of warfare
from any that we have had before, dif-
ferent from Raemaekers cartoons. Diff
ferent from NJ. Duvent's pictures, but
no less fearful.
In the Avery Architectural Library,
Columbia University, New York. col
lection of drawings illustrating the
architectural work of Carrere &
Hastings was recently placed on view.
This exhibition was of interest for two
reasons-frst, because one-man exhi-
not common. and because Thomas Has
tings of this firm is member of the
federal fine arts commission and very
we'll known in this city as the designer
OF the House and Senate Office build
ings. of the Townsend house, on Massa-
chusetts avenue. and the architectural
features of the John Paul Jones mon
ument. The firm also has to it's credit
the New York Public Library and the
New Theater. in New York, now the
Century Theater, as well as various Of
flee buildings and some private resi-
dences.
Mr.. Hastings is one of the foremost
opponents in this country of the French
Beaux Arts School of Architecture. His
work is scholarly and in good taste, if
not always very original or inspired.
1t would be well If more such exhibit
tons were held. that the people generally
could become more familiar with the work
of architects and recognize such work as
within the realm of art.

but that such a convention should be

EARTH ROAD .---. .
MAINTENANCE
A Never Ending Job and Has to 81
Done Over and Over. la.

A Never Ending Job and Has to Be
Done Over and Over. Ia
Earth road maintenance now is and
will continue for some years to be the
real road problem of Kansas, since it
is not likely that more than a very
small per cent Of the highways will be
paved in this generation, asserts W. S.
Gearhart, professor of highway engi-
neering in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college and state highway engi-
neer.
practically all the work done on an
earth road, except reduction of grades,
correction Of horizontal alignment,
building of drainage structures and
elimination of railway grade crossings,
is temporary and should properly be
considered maintenance" said Mr..
.Gearhart.
"D0ing permanent work is a compar-
atively easy matter, for when once it is
done correctly it will last for number
Of years. The maintenance of an earth
road, however, is a never ending JOB.
It n like milking the cows and doing
other chores, for the builder knows
that the work of maintenance will have
to be done over and over again and
can never feel that it is in any sense
permanent.
"For this reason the earth road has a
bad reputation. The trouble is not SO
much with the material of which the
road is composed as with our system
or lack of system of management.
Other types of roads, when treated as

Gently drawn by Fred w. Davis,

important to deliver in good con-
o dition at the shipping station.
o Many shipments have been re-

produce over rough roads. Such
reflections are usually ascribed to

that they could not possibly be

many farmers fit their wagons
with springs, which reduce their
capacity, and in this way incur
an expense to overcome the bad
o conditions which would go far
toward paying the taxes needed
for good roads.
