ated under oath that every word of his
testimony was true

 Oct. 28, 1920.

Ralph Dunbar, revivallst of great operas, is earning a great reputa- tion among music-lovers. Last sea- son came "The Chocolate Soldier" then "Robin Hood," and now comes "The Mikado," given at the Kemp ner last night, as good as ever went on the road at any time. From the opening male chorus it was appar- ent that here was a well-balanced company and subsequent numbers brought no disappointment. The scenic establishment and rich cos tunes left nothing to be desired and the Dunbar brand has come to be regarded hereabouts as synonym for quality. "Ko-Ko" (Ed An draws) of course gets the most laughs, and DeWolf Hopper never was funnier in the role than this veteran of the comic opera stage.

SPECIAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Enquirer" Cincinnati, Oct. 17,

Will the present generation of theatre-goers support opera7 The question was affirmatively answer ed by satisfied audiences which at tended the performance of Ralph Dunbar's revival of "The Mikadon at the Grand Opera House.
 In an educational way, this re- VlVal is of inestimable value. If America is to progress musically and take it's rightful place among the nations of the world as a peo- lde who love the best in musical art. nothing will answer quite as well as the frequent presentation of such works as Ralph Dunbar is giving to the stage today. Young folks even children-may attend such performances without fear of jolt to the sensibilities. No other form of entertainment is quite so whole some, quite so invigorating, so edu- cational, so essentially worth while. More power to Ralph Dunbar!

PROSPECTS FAVOR

Prospects for n turn for the better

try. following the recent low ebb,
are favorable, according to interprc-
tations of industrial conditions made
by the Dow service officials this
week
Reasons for this conclusion are
based upon the changed tone of let
terS of instruction and policy being
sent out TO sales representatives by
large building material manufac-
turers. by turn in volume from
commercial to housing construction
and the growing consciousness on
the part of the prospective building
investors that basic building ma
terial prices have reached shrink
ing limits under existing producing
costs.
Investors looking into the 1921
market sense the fact that the spring
building season is only four weeks
away, bringing with it an over
whelming potential demand for build
ing supplies. Financial interests are

IN the statement The \. \. \. SAWS !:
+ expenditures for public roads and

cities Will amount to approximate
I lN S60o,0O0, - during tn" currcn;
calendar yea: This vas. cxpcndi-
turc is applied Ia the payment of
labor. materials, machinery. and
profits. OF this sum, approximate,
$500, 100000, by the end of Dccem-
Der, will have gone for the emINoy-
ment of labor. On the basis ul IS
per day this means that during the
current year there is being applied
to public highways of the country
about 166,000,0OO labor days. Thus,
ion the basis Of 200 working days,
employment will have been given
to about 100000 laborcrs.
"Hcncc, if the pending federal
aid, providing an additional S75.-
OOO,0OO of federal money to be
matched by S75,OOO,0OO of State
money during the calendar wear
l922, becomes Il law, there will
probably be expended during the
year on public roads in the United

;of which about s640, 900, 900 will be
applied to the employment of labor
On the basis OF So per. day, and Civ
ing 200 working days to each indi-
vidual, this means that very likely
during 1922 moro than million
workmcn will be employed in the
building Of roads and bridges and
III the manufacture of road machin-
cry therefor throughout the United
States.
"it is estimated that during 1921
about $500, 100000 will be cXpend-
cd on street work in the different

during 1922 at least 5000, 900 900
