Bin Provides For Future.

The Townsend bill is not an exped.-
emit. 1t is framed to provide for the
future. 1t recognizes the fact that
the increased use of the public high
ways of the United States has brought
about a condition which requires all
hands ON the job-not one waiting for
the other, but each assigned to a GER
tain definite part CT the logical con-
nections at the boundary lines of each
State, and the State highway depart
ments. on the other hand. developing
the main market routes within State
jurisdiction.
1t is the purpose Of the Townsend
bill to clothe the Federal Highway
Commission. with initiatory powers in
order to insure the economical loca-
tion and development of the national
system. IL will be in nowise depen-
dent upon the other factors outside
of itself. In the location of the pro-
posed national line it will take coun-
sci with the States. Having taken
counsel, it will proceed with the con-
struction Of the system along lines
that will render the greatest good to
the greatest number.
The one great purpose of the Town
send bill is to get somewhere in TT
ting the roads to modern use in re-
sponse- to modern demands. It seeks
to get the work done and put cost
reducing roads into full operation
throughout the entire country at the
very earliest date possible.
Makes Mileage Provisions.
The Townsend bill makes certain
provisions as to mileage. 1t proposes
that the national highway system
shall comprise not less than . per
cent nor more than 5 per cent of the
total mileage actually used as such
in any State. To this extent each
State will be relieved of furtue con-
struCtion and maintenance of what
ever mileage may be embraced in
the national system. Each State.
will benefit to the eN' ent of
having it's financial burden lifted in
the construction and permanent main
tenance of its heaviest traffic lines,
leaving it free 20 develop connecting
lines within it's own borders.

eral Highway Commission for the
and development OF
American highways upon a scale
with the needs of the
present. and to make adequate pro

bill is proceeding upon the logical
lines of national growth.

MUSIC. DANCES, GIRLS AND
 DOGS AT LOEW'S THIS WEEK

Jerome K. Jerome, I believe it was, who wrote Three Men in a Boat, to Say Nothing of the Dog" but imagine five real feminine beauties and their collies and only one mere man, and you may have some idea of the act that Is coming to Loew's Monday when Nell Gill exquisite scenic surroundings together with many changes of superb costumes, even to the bows on the dogs. will be one of the many attractions. Add to this the fact that the girls all possess individual charm and that they have voices that charm whether in solo or chorus, and you have an act that is second to none. The one mere man acting simply as foil for their comedy and a sort of back of Nell Gilbert and company.
 Fred Wallace and Julia D. Shaw and company will offer a clever satire, Prom Now On," dealing with the ques- tions of unions and organizations among the household help and wives in general For instance, if your servant belongs to the union and can only work the allotted eight hours you might be forced to call time or halt in the middle of your dinner because the eight hours were up and no overtime is allowed. The act is said to be a scream from start to finish, and adds many laughs to the bill.

abroad as an official entertainer, and in his offering here he has many Imaginable incidents of his trip abroad and some of the same songs made famous over there. Possessed of a rare voice Tn vaudeville, MT. Carmen should prove one of the best acts seen here in a long time.
 Laing and Green will offer an old-time resume of melodies from days that are gone as we'll as the present day songs. and in this respect this act stands out on the programme for the reason that Laing and Green are old timers in the bushes They had grown gray in the service of making fun for some one else, and they have seen the passing of popular songs after popular song, and style after style until now they come back to us, gray haired and full of pep, and with revue of old-time and new melodies that can not fail to please.
 The Vannersons are marvels at pan tomme and on the horizontal bar, and their act is said to bring many thrilling feats of skill and agility in this line that have never been seen here before.
 The great storm that recently swept over Corpus Christi, Tex, also tried out Galvestons new sea wall as it was never tried before, and the news pictures this week will show this sea wall saving that city from ruin, but with many of the streets full of water.
 The crowds at San Francisco will also be shown greeting the President and Nj agara Falls from an airplane.

Cal Dean and his Sorority Girls, one of the headline acts to open tomorrow at the Lyric theatre, will appear in one of the most unique light comedies that has been presented here this sea- son. It is a somewhat different girl act, because it has a real plot that is full of fun and comedy situations. The turn is interspersed with wit and hu- nor and special songs and dances are put over in good style by the five beautiful women. Kimberly and Page, who offer a new and up-to-the- minute playlet of love and laughter, entitled Spring is Calling" will furnish much of the comedy. The playlet was written by Mir Kimberly himself who is an able writer, and this artist discovers an ideal model in Miss Page, who is petite and winsome. The situations are natural, the dialogue clever and pre- sentation is good. Billy Schoen is now a single He is so bright that a part ner proves to be superfluous, and,
 therefore, he now works alone. His 1nonologue is called An Afternoon Off" and with songs and stories tied to- gether with a string of an idea will prove wonderful addition to this bill. Mullen and Correlli present combina-

London, August Special )-The Parliament which has just completed it's work and adjourned to October 22 will go down in British history as the
 busiest Parliament which ever con vened Previous Parliaments have been remembered as the Home Rule Blll Parliament or the "Welsh Church Bill Parliament" but the session of seven months which has just been completed. has put through as many great con- structive bills as any other seven Par haments.
 The explanation lies in the fact that there has been no opposition party and the massed coalition hosts in the house Of commons have been able to pass al- most all the great measures of recon struction placed before them by the government. This lineup in the House has been made possible by the fact that Great Britain is not yet out of the human financial and industrial moraSS of the war and it's Parliament, in the eyes of the country, had to get on or get out.
 Here are some of the bills which, among others, have been passed into law dur ing the amazing Parliamentary session which has just closed:
 The Transport Bill, which seeks to inject new life into the roads, rail- ways waterways, docks, ports. tram ways and harborS of the country Tn anticipation of the tremendous influx of new business which the postwar period is expected to see. The Health Bill. which sets up a min istry of health in an effect to combat state of things which in crisis of
 the war deprived England of million
 men through avoidable unfitness. The Housing Bill which stimulates
 local authorities to set up housing schemes and provides state money to
 make up the difference between the
 rent that the working classes can pay
 and the rent necessary to repay those
 who build at the present abnormal
 prices.
 The Facilities for Employment of
 Disabled Men Bill, which seeks to
 smooth the way for more employment
 for men disabled in the war.
 The Civil Contingencies Fund Bill.
 which gives the British government
 power to spend scores of millions
 quickly on vast stores of overseas food
 and other things.
 The Police Bill, which gives the Bri-

 tish policeman machinery to lay his grievances before the authorities and forbids him to join a police union.
 The Imperial Preference Budget Bill. , which sets up the beginnings of fiscal reform for which the Dominions have asked and raises vast sums in England by taxation.
 The Coal Mines Bill, which gives statutory force to hours agreements.
 The Coal Industry Commission Bill which sets up a royal commission for investigation into coal mining, some of whose recommends tions are to be carried out this autumn.
 The Profiteering Bill, which sets up central and local tribunals to see what portions of the present high prices are unavoidable and what portions are due to profiteering.
 The War Loan Bill, which gives cer- tain legal powers to the Chancellor of the Exchequer with respects to recent loans.
 The Restoration of pre-War Practi- ces Bill, which gives labor certain inn movements in working conditions over 1914.
 The Welsh Church Temporalities Bill, which seeks to end an old aching con- troversy with British money.
 The Treaty of Peace Bill which is probably the greatest reconstruction measure of all.
 The Consolidated Fund Bill. which authorizes the British government to spend hundreds of millions sterling for fighting and other services.
 In addition to those bills, there are the Acquestion of Land Bill the For estry Bill. and the Land Settlement Facilities Bill which have already be- come laws. Other bills of importance have been introduced with view to toning up British patent laws and trade marks regulations The Women's Charter (the Sex Disqualification Re- moval BilD has passed the House of Lords and is waiting atfpcks in the House of Commons in the autumn and the Electricity Supply Bill is also held up until autumn.
