business depression" ]. 3. PennybaR
or, secretary, The Asphalt Associa-
ton, New York. and former chief
Economist, q. s. bureau OF public
roads, made most vigorous plea for
the enforcement OF road management
from politics. He warned his hea-
ers against the danger to the good
roads movement Of insidious alliances
by good roads associations with or
ganized paving interests, and urged
the letting Of contracts this fall for
the relief OF employment. He present
ed thorough engineering analysis
which showed that In the proposed
billion dollar road program $66O,OOO,
900 would 60 to the employment OF
labor, sufficient sum to keep 997,-
600 Iaborers busy ESQ days in the year
as well as $4,000 engineers, inspectors
and other supervisory employees.
"It has been estimated" said Mr..
Pennybacker, Hthat over 100 organi-
cations are now working in the inter
est OF good roads. Most OF these or
CARNATIONS are praiseworthy in pur-
pose and some OF them are worth
while in their accomplishments. but
we must not overlook the fact that
they are first and foremost moral
influences and that in order to main
tain this moral influence they must
have no faint OF commercialism, self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT or any Interior pur-
pose whatever. There are great
road building industries today whose
duty 1t is to provide the best material
they are capable OF providing, to pro-
duce the immense quantities required
for the vast bodybuilding program,
to maintain the most reasonable
prices consistent with sound business
practice and TO aid public officials, en-
gneers and public welfare organizes
lions such as ours in the develop
ment Of the best business methods
for the utilization Of these materials.
but I say to you, most earnestly that
there should be no alliance between
any roOd-building industry and high
way organization, whether it be mem.
orial, humanitarian or any other in
the guise Of serving lofty purpose
and the welfare Of the nation. DO not
allow any industry to make your or

clever craftsmanship may operate with

George Sidney, the star OF the play,

The play is by Aaron Hoffman, In
four actS anu two gilmpses, and sam
Forrest staged 1t, although there isn't
much to brag about IN the scenery, eX-
cept for miniature town lighted by
e.ectricity ana numerous devices op-
eiated by the same power, some of
winch, the opening and closing of d
Goor, the operation OF a sliding panel
TO enable visitors to be scanned before
s.dmittance and all electrical cigar
lighter, are made to contribute to the
amusement.
The cast of the play is adequate, the
-FOUR stern citizens of Valley Forge
being admirably impersonated by Ben
johnson, Edward l.. Snader, Charles l.
Schotield and Howard Gould. Sylvia
Field contributes a neat bit of natural
characterization as Mary, a girl who
was bent upon suicide because she was
threatened with disgrace, through no
fault OF her own, and John Adair, jr.,
played the part of the town genius to
a standstill.
