TRAFFIC MUST BE HEAVY TO
JUSTIFY CONCRETE ROADS

There is much agitation at the
present time concerning the concrete
highway, and there is no doubt that
this type of paving makes an excellent
road where the traffic is sufficiently
heavy to warrant the expense. There
is question however, as to whether
or not the traffic of the average coun-
try road in Colorado will warrant the
expense of building concrete roads.
C. V. Adams, of the Colorado Agri-
cultural College, gives some interest
ing figures on the cost of building
and maintaining concrete and gravel
roads in Colorado:
Concrete Road
First cost-$20, 900 per mile.
Interest at per cent-$1, 900 per
mile per year.
Maintenance-$50 per mile per year.
Total cost per mile per year-$1050.
Gravel Road
First cost-$2500 per mile.
Interest on first cost at per cent
|-$125 per mile per year.
Maintenance-$150 per mile per year
Total cost per mile per year-$275.
Mr.. Adams says that $50 per mile
per year will keep a gravel road in
good condition, and asks, isn't it a
better proposition to provide fund
for maintaining gravel roads at $275
per mile per year than to attempt the
construction of concrete highways and
pay for them $1050 per mile per year

of the most valuable officers in the

Soon after the Armistice a much de-

Captain came through, 1t. Cleland
having been recommended for pro-
motion eight months previously but as
frequently happens during service
abroad during active operations. pro-
motions came slow and are subject to
many delays.
During the occupation period Capt.
Cleland filled number Of very re-
sponsible positions and was presently
assigned as Regimental Surgeon for

few months ago in recognition Of his
splendid services he was promoted to
Major. He enjoys the unique distinc-
ton OF being the only medical officer
in the Division to receive double
promotion while serving the American
Expeditionary Forces.
The 33rd Division has just landed In
New York and within a few weeks
Major Cleland should be able to join
his family and resume practice. He
has thrown his entire energy and
strength into every task assigned to
him and has throughout displayed un'
usual devotion to duty. When he re
turns to civil life he will do so with
the satisfaction Of having answered
his country's call and having served
with valor and distinction in the great
est of all conflicts. His fellow officers
and those who have worked under his
direction envy him the we'll earned
welcome which they know is awaiting
lhim upon his return to Delta.
Very sincerely yours.

STRAND BILL FOR
 WEEK INCLUDES TWO b|G STARS
Charlie Ray in ''The Girl Dodger'' and Marguerite Clark in Mrs. Wiggs of
 the Cabbage Patch"

Two of Birmingham's most popular stars will appear at the Strand this week, Charles Ray. Monday and Tues day in "The Girl Dodger." and Marguer- ite Clark, Wednesday, Thursday, Fri day and Saturday in Mrs. wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" with clever Mack Sem nett comedy, and the Pathe news reel in addition.
 ''The Girl Dodger' is one of the clev- crest plays that Charles Ray has ever appeared in, and is so suited to him that one can almost says the title over and see him in the picture.
 In "The Girl Dodger,'' MT. Ray takes the role of Cuthbert Trotman, a young fellow that is mortally afraid of girls and runs every time he sees one coming, In this character, with big trimmed glasses, and furtive air of bashfulness, he reaches his heighth as character im- personator. and really makes one won der if, after all, it is only acting.
 The story goes that Trotman's friend and fellow university student, gets mixed up with lot of chorus girls. and in orr der to square himself, drags poor bash full Trotman into the scrape, and leaves him. If you have ever suffered with basbfulness, you can appreciate this pie ture a hundredfold for Ray carries you back to the days when you were all

Mildred Harris. who will be remem- bered in her former big Lois Weber successes, The Price of Good Time Doctor and the Woman" For Hus- bands Only" and others. appears at the Alcagar this week in When Girl Loves"
 This Is the first appearance of Mrs. Chaplin Mildred Harris) in western drama produced by Lois Weber, the Belasco of the screen, and 1t gives her an opportunity for pleasing work in an atmosphere different from her >Sther features.

 When this young eastern girl en- tered his life, and was either guided by love or lead by her wonderful in- tuition, he became regeenrated, through her Influence and help. It is an inspiring theme.

 This is one picture of Rvs that you will want to see over again. the press notices from the greatest critics in the coun- try, proclaim it Charles Rays master effort
 The last four days of the week will bring dainty little Marguerite Clark in | Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch to the Strand. This picture Is taken from the tafnous book of that name by Alice Hogan Rice, and is possibly the most widely read of any recent fiction.
 The sale of the book has mounted up lated into every civilized tongue.
 Those who have read the book will enjoy seeing all the quaint characters come to life upon the screen, and those who have not read it will also enjoy it from a standpoint of newness
 With a play like this one, and star like Marguerite Clark, one does not have to impress upon the people of Birming. ham the fact that the picture is going to prove sensation, and that it will circles.
 So make it a point to visit the Strand both the first and last part of the week, for it is doubtful that if, during the entire season, there will be such won- derful programme offered at any picture theatre again.

GERMAN CABINETS
 LESS EXPENSIVE

Munich, January 12.-Much speculat ton has been caused by the question of what the revolutionary ministry is costing the state of Bavaria, especially in com parison with the former ministry. There are eight ministers in the cabinet today. and each draws $500, making total of S36,00o To this must be added the pen- sions of the seven ministers who were removed, also $f5o0 each, making a grand tctal of s62,500.
 The salaries today are considerably more modest than those paid the old cabinet which. with pensions totalled $S4.250 The new state of affairs is. therefore, so far as the cabinet is con cerhed, nearly $20,000 cheaper. This may be almost capitalized, however, by the expected expenditure of $15,o0o annually for the new ministry for social affairs.

Munich,S January 9.-Munich's scarcity of shoes. which was getting serious when the war stopped, has improved suffi- ciently so that during the next six months there will be available supply large enough to fit out 75 per cent of the population with one pair of shoes for each person. Shoe dealers have demand ed the suspension of the card system for shoes, whereby person was entitled to one pair of shoes year. The dealers find themselves well loaded up with mill .arv shoes, for~which there is little de- mand now. and will attempt to unload them at the government fixed price of $ a pair.
