WEST END.

Common Clay" in seven acts, star ring Fannie Ward. is the extraordi- nary feature attraction at the West End theatre on State street, near Clinton avenue, tonight.
 This seven-reel special feature is a screen version of Gloves Kinkead' s Harvard prize play which A. H.

PLAZA. (ReView.)

Gladys Brockweu gave a clever and stirring performance yesterday al the Plaza theatre, where she was seen in her latest photoplay feature The Forbidden Room Not only is the story a good one, but it is un- folded so sl1ilIfully that one fails to realize the outcome until the last few scenes are shown. The spectator IS kept in a state of uncertainty as to how the star will emerge from the predicament in which she is placed. At the close, however, comes the conviction that she did a big thing for 8 big cause. The settings of tha story have been arranged with par ticular care and the photography, too, $ fine. Miss Brockwell is sup ported by a very capable cast of stars.
 A most startling exhibition of water feats is given by Miss June Dawne Co. She holds the worlds record in underwater swimming, 3 minutes and 16 seconds In a glass tank of water about two feet deep she does the dead mans float, a sue cession of whirls which show her re- rnarkable endurance, threads needle, eats and sews, all under water. Her father, who taught her to swim when she was three years old, accompanies her and explains the act. Next honors were taken by Copeland and lADcCloud, who offer a very neat sing ing, piano and banjo act that was appreciated immensely last night. The selection of musical numbers were varied and well done. Cecil and Bernice, billed as a boy and a girl, turned out to be two clever girls at the finish, when Miss Cecil took off her mans hat. Both girls are talented and have a nice routine of song numbers. Rose and Jack Lyle in a comedy singing, talking and dancing act, pleased. Gaumont News and Pathe Review were very interesting.

Last summer, at the request of the U. s. Goernment we ran our plants only one quar- ter capacity to save ammonia and coal in mak- ing artificial ice, so we had to use up our re- serve stock of natural ice, which we usually carry on hand in case of shortage the follow ing season. Because of the exceptionally mild winter just passed, we were unable to cut but one sixth of our crop, and had to go north for our ice supply for this summer.

 25 lbs. to 200 lbs. at one delivery soc per 100 200 lbs to 800 lbs. at one delivery 7Oc per 100 800 lbs. to 2OOO lbs. at one delivery soc per 100 Over 2OOO lbs. at one delivery soc per 100 Chopped ice per tub 40c Water tanks 1923 lbs. daily $1.2O per week

concrete A very marked difference Was noted in the case of tEe gravel and macadam surfaces. all of which were in fair condition, although of course, they gave a better mileage than was obtained on the earth road.
 The only maintenance required on well-bmlt concrete roads is that neces- sary to keep the joints and the cracks that may develop filled with tar or bituminous material Figures taken from the official reports of states and counties where considerable mileage has been built, show maintenance costs as follows:
 New York, s129 per mile to maintain si miles of first class concrete; s141 per mile for l5l miles.
 Illinois, SJ.4 miles of concrete main tained at a cost of s29.s7 per mile.
 Connecticut, for 25 miles of concrete roads in that state carrying all classes of traffic from the heaviest to the lightest, the actual cost of all tar work applied to the concrete surface was s2S.6S per mile per year.
Arizona republican., 1919-02-25

Wisconsin,: 10S miles maintained at slightly more than $50 per mile.
 Maryland: The total cost of repair ing concrete road surfaces in 1916 for l31.42 miles was SHE'S.
 Michigan: The eleventh annual re- port of the board of highway commits sioners of Wayne county, Michigan. for the year ending September 30. 1917. shows a maintenance expenditure for repair of concrete road surface was s36.50 per mile.
 In conclusion, concrete roads reduce gasoline and tire expense and wear and tear on all classes of vehicles. They put the farmer in the state of preparedness to reach market quickly and economically by bringing his pro ducts to market in a trailer behind his passenger car.
 They add to farm acreage values by increasing land earning possibilities
 They extend neighborhood limits and afford to all classes the pleasure oi motoring over highways that are per feet in all seasons.

Demand for Improved
 Methods in Ealing

Paul Jones, in Manufacturers Record says:
 Up to this date no definite plan has been adopted to establish our gin com pression. Ours is the round-bale process, and over 6,0o0,000 round bales have been put up on our presses.
 You say that there has been no improve ment in cotton bailing in the last 1Oc years. I am quite sure that you are right in this. for no system of baling and handling cotton could be more shame fully wasteful than the present. 1 per sonally know that the present. bale is not nearly as good 0 bale or as welt covered and protected as the bales put up on my fathers plantation before the Civil war.
 There has never been in the history Of cotton as much interest manifested in nor as strong a demand for. improved methods of baling and handling cotton as we find now on all sides from the farmer to the spinner. Permit me to say that you are doing splendid work in your efforts to advance the position and inn prove the conditions of the cotton pro- ducer. There is probably no abuse from which he suffers greater loss than the waste and country damage resulting from the present methods of handling his cot ton from the time it is released from the press until it reaches the spinner. and the result of my observation is that in the final analysis this loss practically falls entirely upon the cotton producer.
 I am a cotton planter myself and come from a race of cotton planters. and have been actively associated with the round bale enterprise for nearly 20 years.
