II HIS NAP peneu.
| A pianist. an honest to goodness, regu-
Lar fellow, put the brakes on the current
show at B. f. Keith's and forced the
turn to be one of the two big outstand-
ing hits of the show.
His name is John Irving Fisher, the
pianist with Wallace Bradley and CRETE

while his fingers go racing up and down
the keys, as If to say, Really, folks, this

John Irving Fisher right to its heart. The

roar heard at a football game when the

INDIANA ROADS
PRAISED HIGHLY
BY OHIO SOLO1J
State Senator Brand Says
Native Material Is
Best.

Use Of native material. gravel and
stone for practically all the roads and the
decision Of Governor Warren T. McCray
to build gravel and stone roads rather
than expensive concrete and brick thor
oughfares, has given Indiana one Of the
best systems Of public roads 7 have ever
seen, writes Senator Charles Brand Of
Urbana, Ohio, to Lawrence Lyons, d.
rector Of the State highway commission.
Senator Brand and q party recently
toured this State to obtain an insight on
what Indiana is doing in the road build
ing and maintenance line and his investi-
cations will be reported to the Ohio leg
islature.
According to Senator Brand, Indiana
has a much more complete system Of
State roads than Ohio. although approx
mately one-sixth as much money is ex-
pended for highway improvement and
construction as in the sister State.
Indiana uses her native material,
gravel and stone for practically all her
roads and has today a much more COM
plete system of roads than Ohio, although
we spend five or six times as much.
"Ohio refuses to use her native ma
terials in her State system. We have
now reached the point where the repairs
on what hard surfaced roads we have,
are about to usesup the entire income Of
our State highway department, yet most
of our State roads are today unimproved,
utterly and purposeIy neglected in order
that property owners along these roads
may be forced into a willingness to put
down hard-surface roads, regardless Of
cost" Senator Brand says.
The decision to build gravel and stone
roads on many sections of the Indiana
State highway system was made by Gov
ernor McCIay, who wished to avoid in
this State the difficulties complained of
in Ohio by Senator Brand. Z
Senator Brand says that one can drive
forty and fifty miles an hour over Indi-
ana roads without fear Of finding bad
spots, except in towns and cities, where
the State highway commission has no
jurisdiction. Il think it fair to say that
these roads are smoother to ride on than
even a new cement road, because there
are no joints or waves to go over" he
said
According to Senator Brands observa-
tons the work Of the State highway COM
mission has had a very beneficial effect
on the efforts Of local officials to improve
conditions on county or secondary roads.
Il wish to congratulate you On the work
you are doing in Indiana You have the
best continuous roads have ever found.
Your example is going to be helpful TO
ONO IN obtaining better and cheaper
roads"

IT don't admire the Ku-KIux K1an,"
said the man from the Mexia oil fields
who was in the smoking compartment
Of the sleeper Oklahoma bound, but
they certainly did a good work at Mex1a.
Ever been in q new field? Well, II
you haven't you've never met the toughest
bunch Of adventurers to be found any
where on earth. At the first announce
ment of an oil strike they stream in from
everywhere.
Ranger is playing out and it's pretty
dull in all the proved districts of the
Southwest, so when the news of the
strike at Mexia spread abroad there was
a rush for the new field.
II don't know whether Mexia is a
real thing or not They have half a
dozen wells, but It takes time to show
whether the oil is in big volume.
well, the mob poured into Mex1a- In
a few days you couldn't get a real bed
in hotels or boarding houses without
paying Wsldorf-Astorla prices. They
came by train, by fivvers, by freight and
some, think, afoot. I've seen men pay
real money for the privilege Of sleeping
in an automobile. There are more restau-
rants to the acre in the Mexia territory
right now, ! think, than anywhere else
west OF the hleSloslppl ANY pIhCe W hSAO
you can get a hot dog and coffee is a
restaurant and the restaurant man pays
800 a month for a shack that didn't
cost $500 to build.
Most of the mob that swept down on
Mexia was broke. The inclination of an
il-b0om trailer who is broke is to get
stake by sticking up a man at night
and capturing his roll There were few
hold-ups Also there were a few killings.
The persons shot were bad citizens. The
men who did the shooting were officers
Of the law.
Then there was a parade OF the Ku-
Klux Khan. Do you know, 1t was fear
inspiring stght7 There's something in
the spectacle Of a long procession of
masked men that is hard to describe.
Next the khan warning was put on the
door Of lot of joints that bootleggers
occupied. Immediately thereafter It was
difficult to get booze In Mexia. l never
saw a new oil field so orderly as Mexia.
I've gone around at night and never had
a bit Of trouble, although I know there
are as many stick-up men there as in
any other field in the Southwest.
THE King Of the Wild Caters brought
in the Mexia field. They all laughed at
him at first, but he spent million dol
lars BANKING up his faith that there was
oil in the country and now he is buckine

Most Of the population was downtown
near the ferries when they were the
only means Of travel between BROOKLYN
and New York. The boats were slow
and cumbersome and took plenty of time
to dock. Upon his exit from the ferry

cars Of twenty lines waiting to carry
him on his long journey out to Gowanus
or Flatbush or some other suburb. Every
man who bought an Eagle and who had

time to digest the news, although the
kerosene lamps were usually so dim that
reading was difficult task.

The Eagle has "mothered" many Of the

NEW YORK, Nov. when I met
Chauncey c. Brainerd in the lobby Of
the Pennsylvania Hotel there was such
a restful contented digniHed look upon
his studious face that / knew he had
been over to Brooklyn. Mr. Brainerd is
the Washington correspondent of the
Brooklyn Eagle, that faithful guardian
of Long Island homo and freside which
has tapped its wings and screamed in
full type for the interests of Brook
Ign since 1871. This great afternoon
daily is exactly eighty years old, and its
past is so inseparably linked with the
progress of Brooklyn, from what was
virtually a village until it has become in
many respects the most important Dor
ough of Greater New York, that the an
niversary is an event of national I'M
pOrtance.
I'VE of the Eagle are a family our
selves, and 1t has followed that we I'M
derstand the problem of the family" said
Mr.. Brainerd who was en- route back
to his post after attendance at the re
union. And we talked of the death in
the year of Col. William Hester, nephew
of the founder of the Eagle, and the sue
as president. who has been an Eaglet
himself for forty years; Herbert F. Gun
nison vice president and treasurer. with
service of thirty nine years: Editor
Arthur NJ. Howe and Harris NJ Crist

Eagling for twenty eight years. and Ed
ward V. Ellis, son Of Jacob Riis (Roose-
yelts friendl who left Park Row fiat
eleven years ago and has never even
wanted to come back to Manhattan.

There's no roar to the flow. I'm afraid
that after a few months they'll pump

But you never can tell. The biologists

no oil therea bouts. Now they say there's
