Are American girls of today really

themi And will they be better for the
change-or worse? If they are upsettnG
old standards and traditions, will they
make new ones and better ones? These
are questions which everybody is asking
today. They are particularly interesting
to the people Of indianapolis because or
the strong, clean cut answer which Is
being given in Meredith Nicholson's In
dianapous novel, Broken Barriers,
which is now appearing in Cosmopolitan

Mr. Nicholson is writing about Indian

everyday American girl who lives with
her family in q good home in one Of the
modest sections of the city and VINO is
forced by an upset in her fathers bust
ness to earn her own living. She takes

for the first time she comes In contact
with life as life really is. Temptations
beset her; not the temptations OF meio-
drama. but the temptations faced oy
hundreds of thousands of American

declare that Mr. Nicholson's story is
more than a novel about Indianapolis,
that II is one of the most powerful

Sir Harry LADDERS elevation to the

fitness of his early struggles or the days
when scarcely able to make a living as
singer Of comic ditties, he was often
threatened with the possibility of a return
to the coal pits in order to make liv-

Sir Harry began life as a "pit boy"
driving a Shetland pony and otherwise
making himself useful to the miners.
When he had advanced to the position Of
a full fedged coal miner he felt that he
was on the highway to riches. 1t was,
however, hard work. Often he was up to
his hips in water, with the coal vein
over his head, and compelled to swing a
heavy pick in that awkward and weari-
some position. While at work he often

The little house on the side street
where children reign in autocratic splen-
dor, where toys sprawl carelessly on the
best rugs and where a mellow air Of hap
piness touches the homely shabbiness to
real beauty-this is the house that sits
calmly through the poems of Christopher
Morley's latest volume. "ChimneysmOke."
From the hospitable doorway of this
house the poems go out into all parts of
the metropolitan world and finally come
back to the peace and comfort Of the
hearth. Real children, real houses and
real hearth fires speak to you in these
poems.

at the Henry Miller Theater, New York
wake Up. Jonathan!" is from the
pens of Hatcher Hughes and Elmer l..
Rice, the former a professor Of the drama
at Columbia University, and the latter a,
playwright. It is an unusual play and|
far afield from any of the vehicles which
have served Mrs Fiske in recent years.
The story is strictly modern, thorough
ly American. entirely domestic and de-
cidedly feministc In the role of
Marion Blake. wife of a financial giant
and super-egoist, and the mother of four
children whom she tries to shield from
the gross materialism of the day, she
has role that gives fine sweep to her
unapproachable style of playing high
cOmedy-the art of creating laughter
which masks an occasional tear.
Mrs. Fiske is under the management
of Sam H Harris. while Harrison Grey
Fiske personally directed the production.

The growing demand for good roads
In the South has provoked consider n
able discussion as to the cheapest and
most durable types Of pavement
Statistics show that for hard surfaced
roads the asphaltic types are in great
est general use. The popularity Of
these types, especially those Of the
sheet asphalt, the asphaltic concrete
and asphaltic macadam, is due to their
long wearing qualities, resiliency
against traffic impact, dustlessness,
noiseleSsness, cleanliness and low cost
of upkeep. Brick and concrete roads
have also developed as have the
wooden block and granite block types
The most recent available figures give
421 per cent of the surfaced roads in
TIE United States as being OF gravel,
2l.22 per cent as macadam, 17.16 per
cent Sand-clay 1898 per cent asphalt
and other bituminous materials. SOL
Per cent concrete and 0.62 per cent
brick. The figures for the asphaltic
and brick types.-a total of 1853 per
cent show the extent to which city
types of pavement have been adopted
In the rural d StrictS.
The types most favored in the cities
not only for paved streets but for i'm
proved roads, included not only the
aSpha:ic types but those of brick and
macadam. Brick is highly desirable
bnt more costly than some types.
Macadam is satisfactory type when
combined with an asphalt binder which
makes the road d,Stless and prevents
raveling. II costs hut little more than
the old type Of macadam since the cost
of sprinkling with water is eliminated
Portland cement concrete Is not re-
silent but ii forms an excellent foun-
dation for the resilient surfaces When
used with an asphalt filler brick is
semi-resilient. Asphalt surfaces have
an average life ranging from 20 to %
years and foundations, II thus pro-
teeted, should last not less than thirty
years. When a foundation Is covered
with shock absorbing surface that
receives the impact Of heavy traffic
the base need not be so thick, thus
0ffording a material economy.
