Jazz is going out. Actually! And
going fast. At the recent dinner
dances in New York, what has been
heard? Some jazz, of course, but
dominating that, the grand old-time
waltzes. They were danced, too.
Cabarets are beginning to note the
return in sentiment to those more
rhythmic days, and "stage waltzes"
are beginning to creep in among the
contortionist effects we have had for
the past two or three seasons. And
my eyes! But it is a relief.
People have a lot of different rea-
sons for liking the movies. Some are
quite unexpected ones. But, after
all, one great outstanding thing to
most of US, l fancy, is the presenta
tion of actual environment and scenic
reality which the speaking stage can
not touch. Real trees blowing in the
wind, and the real waterfalls and
shipwrecks and mountain peaks, you
know, and apple blossoms! was
thinking about that the other night
at "Snowblind"6 / actually&felt the
cold from the blizzard and the snow
covered hills and valleys. What
would have been the effect of the
production as regular" play rather
than one in the films? It's a good
story; more than that, it's an unusual
story, and the characters are much
more than just interesting and well

New York, June Gone is willing

carpenter at work at times when he
is really needed. But it is difficult
sometimes to devote ones afternoon
to music! A woman who was having
a partition removed from her home in
Park avenue had to meet this prob
lem the other day. An Italian car
penter was at work in her music room
and the environment appealed to him.

Stark does extremely well as the

full as the fugitive who wins her love

as "Main Street. does lies in the fact
that many readers are apt temporar-
lily to get the impression that it re-
fleets all there is to village life, and
it may thus prejudice many unthink-
ing and unobserving ones against the
small town, whose virtues and adj
vantages, as a rule, far outweigh all
criticisms that can be brought
against it.
"Miss Gale, the popular Wisconsin
novelist, whose own stories of village
life are now running close second
with "Main Street." was recently
asked her opinion as to the fidelity of
"Mam Street,'( in the depicting Of
village life, and said: 81 believe, with
William Allen White, that it presents

AUTHOR OF "MAIN STREET"
FINDS A FRIEND

In a recent issue of the Wisconsin
Farmer appeared an article discus
sing Main Street" in which the au-
thor, Sinclair Lewis, was criticized
because of his attitude toward the
mid-western villages. Following this
publication Miss Elma M. Smith,
daughter of Vide Smith one of the
pioneer Westport citizens, came to
the defense of Mr.. Lewis and the let
ter and editorial comment of the Wis
consin Farmer, are published here
with.
"As was to be anticipated, I am be-
ginning to receive letters commenting
upon my recent criticism of the novel
Main Street," by Sinc.a'r Lewis. The
comments so far received generally
upheld my view thai this y'.Lng nov
elist has not given us a complete or
true picture of life in the small town,
but has pictured only phase of it,
and a phase not the most attrac4 i've.
One of the letters received, however,
is in defense of the novelist, and is of
particular interest because j; comes
from one who may be said 10 know
him and is, therefore, of somewhat
intimate nature. -

and get glimpses Of the more human
side of figures that are conspicuous
in the public eye or in history and |

HOW AUTO LICENSE MONEY
is USED
(St. Cloud Journal-Press)


The report of State Treasurer
Henry Rines on the money paid out in
the month of September in the Trunk
Highway fund, which is correct in
,dex for other months of the year,
shows how it is being expended in
Commissioner Babcock's department.
Administration, $4,788.45; construc-
ton $s5S,S74.47; maintenance $751;
SS5.57; equipment, $51 ,963.32.
The total is near a million and
quarter dollars, and of this amount
less than five thousand goes to the
administration officers, which include
commissioners, engineers and clerks.
Most of the million dollars went to
labor in building permanent high
ways, building and care of other
trunk highway roads.
There seems to be an impression
that only small part of the. money
goes into actual road work, and the
statement has been made and re-
peated that only rs cents of every
dollar is actually used for road build
ing. The absurdity of this is shown
by the above figures. Less than five
thousand dollars in an expenditure of
a million and quarter for overhead
is better showing than is made by
any business or manufacturing con-
Germ in the country. The highway
commission is one branch of public
service that is conducted on strictly
business principles.
