ment of the transportation problems of this country both on land and water How fitting then it is that this great National Highway reaching from ocean to ocean, traversing this historic old Virginia and that beautiful southland which he loved and served so well should bear his honored name. And ohl that he could have lived to witness this celebra- tion and enjoyed the full fruition of his untiring labors for the progress and wei fare of his country
 "On yesterday as l saw this splendid army convoy slowly move from it's start ing point in Washington I could feel his presence, and almost his gracious smile as he, from his spirit world of rest and happiness witnessed that inspiring scene.
 "Knowing how he devoted himself to the problems of good roads, l am sure that to have this highway from the At lantic to the Pacific bear his name is more pleasing to the people of his native state than all the other monuments which could be built by human hands Long after you and l have returned to the dust future generations will honor and bless the name of John Hollis Bankhead, whose life is inspiration and whose memory is benedction"

Colossal German Theatre

One of the worlds most colossal theatres. and by far the most bizarre. is the great auditorium recently opened in Berlin. The dreary exterior of the building is monstrous but gives little promise of the surprises within. The curving walls of the foyer says an Illustrated article in Popular Me chanics Magazine, merge into domcd roof, supported by carved mahogany columns. The upper portion of eaci, column is formed by many disks that radiate orange and blue light from concealed blubs The auditorium Itself suggests the Greek open-air Anphi : theatre.

NEW YORK-'Dardanella Is one or the most popular songs ever written in America.
 Roaylties on the piece are reported to have reached S250,00O.
 And Johnnie Black, who composed it, got $10O.
 ''Madelon' is the most popular song that has been written in France in generation.
 It has made hundreds of thousands of francs for the publishers.
 The French poilu who wrote it got nothing-not a centime!-in royalties.
 "Madelon" was written before the war. It was one of. a thousand songs that were heard occasionally. Nobody paid any attention to it.
 Then the armies were mobilized, the French poilus took it up.
 They demanded it to march to.
 They sang it.
 It was played by the bands, over and over and over.
 It spread all over France.
 Literally all France sang 1t, whistled it, played it, marched to it.
 Every returned Tank can whistle it.
 Since the war the French chamber of deputies has made it an official na- tional song. A French newspaper has raised a fund for the poilu writer who was glad to give his composition to the publisher just to see it printed.
Arizona republican., 1920-07-06

When Johnny Black took 'Darda- nella" to the publishers, they told him it was unusual.
 Johnny felt proud.
 When the publisher offered him a cheek for $1o0, he accepted.
 Then he became aware that every body was singing it and playing it. that it was hit
 Now he is suing for a share of the royalties.
 These cases would seem to prove that song writing-by the "unknown" song writer, is an unprofitable busi- ness. But there are exceptions-like Mrs. ThekIa Holhng Andrew of Joplin. Mo.
 Listening to a new song hit one day, she said: T could write that kind of thing" And she did
 Kiss Me, Dear!' she called it.
 She went to New York and offered it to a publisher.
 The trifle he offered made her angry and she went back to Joplin, Mo-, and had it published at her own expense.
 Eight thousand-the entire first edi- tion-were sold in no time in that one neighborhood and more thousands are being printed
 But-as has been said-Mrs. An drew's case is exceptional. "The strangest case we ever heard of in fact" say the dealers who arr ham, ding it.

 The Danube has worked up consid- erab1e of a reputation for beauty and bIueness, on account of MT. Strauss s celebrated waltz. It is, however, not particularly beautiful and not at all blue between Vienna and Budapest.

Instead of '"The Beautiful Blue Dan ube," MT. Strauss should have written a jazz melody entitled, Down on the Danube There Are Dandy Ducks or something like that, if he wanted to be strictly up to date and truthful.
 As the little steamer churned down stream she was constantly surrounded by flocks of ducks which got out of the river ahead of her and circled round behind her to settle again and resume their feeding; blue winged teal, geese, black swans, widgeon and mallards,
