BUILDING
FUNDS FOR PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
Sum Of $s7, 900, 900 Will Be Divided
Among States in Proportion
to Population.

THE last apportionment of federal
ton under the existing federal-aid act
became available July l." said Mr..
Mcdonald, chief Of the bureau of pub
lie roads.
This is the largest appOrtionment
yet certified under the Federal aid act,
amounting to 500, 0O0, 1000. %three-quar-
tiers OF which Is derived from the ap-
preparation of 1919 and S2o,OOO,OOO
from the original appropriation of
1916. A deduction of S3,0OO,O00, or 3
per zen of the funds, will be made
to provide for the expense of admin
istering the federal aid act by the
Department of Agriculture. The bal
ance Of S97 100000 will be divided
among the states in proportion to their
population, area, and mileage of post
roads.
"Under the law the states are re
quired to enter into formal agreements
with the secretary of agriculture for
the construction upon which this mon
ey is to be used before July l, 1922.
Any money which is not taken up be-
fore that time will be reapportioned
among all the states In the same man
ner in which the original apportion-
ments are made. All previous appor-
tionments have been taken up In the
time allotted, and II is not likely that
the states will fail to absorb this last
apportionment, To do so, however,
will mean that the states must sur
yey, plan, and let contracts for at
least S200,0OO,O0O worth of federal aid

years.

than 80 per cent of the cost, as they

 tions with orchestral accompani- ment and the audience will have an opportunity to hear not only beau tiful voice and finished method, but also matchless colorature art.
 The Norfolk movement has always held the composer in the highest honor, justly regarding the creator of work on a much higher plane than the interpreter. Sometimes creator and interpreter exists in combination, as in the case of Franz Liszt or Anton Rubinstein. Two or three men of this stamp come with each century, and one such is now in America in the person of Sergel Rachmaninoff, great Russian com poser and pianist, who will play his second concerto for pianoforte with orchestra. Rachmaninoff first be- came known in this country by his Prelude, the most popular piece for pianoforte written in decades. Each perspiring press agent informs the gaping public in passionate ac- cents that his own pianistic star is the greatest" but true musicians know that Liszt and Rubinstein have but one successor, in the Russian composer and pianist. He never commits assault and battery on the pianoforte, he is the quietest player before the public, and gains his ends by the unconscious power and depth of his interpretations, which strike the listener like an avalanche, or a mighty wave of the sea. He ex- poets to retire from the stage as a pianist, and intends to give the re- mainder of his life to composition. | One of his orchestral works.
