ties. AS manufacturer of motorcars,
the good roads problem has been
brought very forcibly to my attention,
and l have given the subject much
thought and study. 1t Is my firm con-
viction that the continued prosperity
of this country and the quick and eff
hcient handling Of war preparations
cannot be better promoted than by
keeping our streets and highways in
frst-class condition. I believe what
ever expenditures are necessary to this
end should be made.

Vtrified Brick for Paving Country
Roads--FiIIina the Joints, First Coat.
In money and labor on the public roads
aggregated only $S0,OOO,OOO, compared
with some $30O,OOO,OO0 for 1917. Thus
the public roads have been changed
with bewildering rapidity from the
status of the purely local utility to that
Of utility of national Importance and
scope.
1t Is well known that the railroads of
the United States are unable to carry
the enormous traffic now offered for
transportation, and 1t is to be expected
that the public roads will from now on
have added to their present traffic bur-
dens such freight as may be shifted to
them to relieve railway congestion.
1t Is beyond question that for pas
senger haul the public roads are used
to a greater extent than the railroads.
These impressive conditions have been
created within the span of single gen.

On July IL, 1916, President Wilson
approved measure generally known
as the federal-aid road act, which car
ried an appropriation of $75,000,000 to
aid the states In the construction of
rural post roads and $10O00,000 to be
expended for the construction and
maintenance of forest roads.

PERMANENT ROAD IS FAVORED
Saving In Cost of Rebuilding Would
Pay for Them in Comparatively
Few Years.

A writer on the advantage of per-
manent highways makes the point that
the saving In the cost of rebuilding
would pay for them in comparative-
ly few years-and then there would he
a prospect of valuable returns. The
thing would be like making few pay
ments to secure an annuity. Wherever
the money can be raised there should
be permanent highways. That is the
good roads gospel par excellence.

CHORUS GIRLS

New York Beauties Say They Won't Stand For
 Eight Hour Day.

 Some nasty person pointed out that the Actors Equality Association, as a matter of fact, had not included them at all in their demands for a new con- tract, recognizing as dramatic aces only those who speak at least one line. It was suggested that perhaps the coryphees were thus acting from spite in declining 10 be members of the working class.
 Another interpretation was that their action was based on the fear that unionism would mean an eight hour day, possibly requiring them to arise at the unheard of hour of ten o'clock. After the committee of in
 
 and Chairwoman Florence Bruce of the She's a Good Fellow had tele- phoned the epochal news to Frank Nfillmore, secretary of the Actors Equality Association the latter mis- cued entirely, spelling the dramatic effect by stating that the organization had always considered the chorus a negligible quantity.

'GNFALLIBILITY" TOPIC
 OF REV. F. A. GEORGE

Rev. Edward A. George, minister in charge at the United church, yester- day, delivered an interesting sermon at the morning service on "Infalli- bility." He remarked upon the fact that in these days of doubt there is a question if there is any infallibility left. He said in part
 NO matter how infallible the Pope or the church or the creeds or the Bible may be, unless the truth they teach is true for us. unless something within us responds, their authority Is not of the highest kind. Infalli- bility must ever be an inner assur- ance. It cannot be imposed upon us from without. If it is, we often are imposed upon.' If what church and creed and Bible teach does not, seem really true to us, we are like a person color-blind to whom what he is taught of color does not seem true
 Charts. however exact, are not enough for navigation. A ship must have its own compass. Rudyard Kip ling portrays a poor. pale soul in the other world who had enjoyed ortho- dox training but had made nothing his own. He is so little of a soul that the devil refuses to receive him even in hell. and as he spurns him, he says as c parting shot: And the God ye took from printed book be with you"

REV. MARTIN PAYS
 TRIBUTE TO HEROES

"Our Heroes in Memory" was the subject of Rev. A. J. Martins ser mon at the Grace M. F. church yes terday morning when he declared Memorial Day has a new emphasis this year. He said in part:
 The celebration this year takes on a new glamour. It is designed to have in review the deeds of valor of those heroes who hazarded their lives to save the Union. But that is not all. The event in a certain measure gathers up the meaning of the past and holds 1t before us in a definite relation to the ever unfolding present.
 That these dead shall not have died in vain Is the connecting link. They fought to save the Union, but the Union was preserved under God In order that He might have one mighty nation to battle for the right, rather than to have two small units with divided interests and diminished powers to be spent in a losing war fare. This, then, magnifies citizen ship.

THE EFFICIENCY
 OF ADVERTISING

The net effect of advertising in any community, is to. concentrate trade. It enables bright, enterprising, far- sighted men to get the bulk of the business, far more than they could obtain on a non-advertising basis. It opens the way for them to introduce modern efficiency systems, to reduce costs through large volume of trade, to take advantage of bargains offered in the wholesale market, and to buy and sell in a large way.
 Advertising tends to eliminate un- enterprising merchants. These find they can no longer depend on the mere physical fact that they have a certain location. which really has nothing to do with the merit of the propositions they have to offer. They learn that old customers, catching the modern spirit. are looking out to see who is announcing the best values and will travel quite a distance to less desirable location if necessary. te snap up an-advertised- bargain.

ANNUAL RECITAL
 ARTISTIC EVENT
Miss Slocum's Glasses Give Splendid Perform
 ance.

The annual recital of the classes in Dance Drama of the Benita Virginia Slocum School of Dancing at its Re lated Arts in the auditorium of the Bridgeport High school on Saturday evening was one of the most finished and artistic events of the kind ever witnessed in this city. Too much credit cannot be given Miss Slocum for the splendid work that she is do- ing here. She brings to her work a sure knowledge coupled with an ideal ism that is not often placed at the command of a city like ours. As a usual thing talent equal to hers is never found outside the big metro politan centers..
 The children who took part in the program showed very clearly the ef- fects of her fine instruction. In many of the dances their work could not have been equalIed by professionals. Their pantomime, grace and execu- ton were most finished and their per formance was heightened by the very apparent fact that their work was a joy to them. Miss Solcum's programs are always distinguished by the many original touches that are SO charac- teristfc of her work. The ensemble numbers and the solos were worthy of being classed on a par with those of the Morgan dancers or any other of the noted groups that are constantly apearing in New York.
 The program was as follows:
 Group One, based upon Greek life and art-I Vestal Virgins (religious) Tend Sacred Fire, selected. IT.
