MYSTIC, Conn, Aug. 1.-THE ninth
annual exhibition Of the Mystic Art
Association Of Mystic, Conn., is dy-
mamie with the force Of changing
thought. You feel at once in this
summer show, which continues until
the twenty-thiri Of the present month,
that the general tendencies Of Amer
lean thought are reflected in It's forty
pictures. There are this year none OF
the surface foamings Of the "new-at-
any cost" element, nor are there any
stagnant pools. The Mystic men are
creative and original.
The pictures ara hung In the assem-
bly, room OF the Broadway School IN
this little center of art activity. There
is ample wall space to hang every can
vas on the Same level without crowd
ing. And in the short time it takes to
make comprehensive view OF the
whole one remains stimulated and re-
freshed.
The jury Of selection was privileged
TO enjoy wide scope in its choice OF
entries. In view OF tho large area Of
available wall space 1t was enabled to
place each canvas where it fitted best
in relation to its neighbors. The col
lection Is varied.
II might be wished that tbs quality
Of the work were moro even. Beside
tho best the poorer ones show up a.
their very worst, but contrast makes
vibration, and vibrate is what this
show does. Landscapes do not pre-

tor, and s. Anthony Guarino. young
painter, both Americans, contributed 8
number of works to the exhibition. One
of the first visitors was Mr.. Vanderlip
and he was so impressed with what he
saw that he bought eight pictures and
several sculptures to bring back to
America with him
The gallery was opened under the
direction OF .La Fiamna,' a weekly
magazine, with the idea Of keeping it
open for couple of months. Owing TO
its success, however, it likely will be-
come permanent institution. An
original idea is involved. The artists
sell their work directly to the buyers,
thus eliminating the dealer" but they
receive only one-half of the revenues.
The other half goes to help the less
fortunate artists and to support the
magazine, which is the official organ
and defender Of the younger artists.
John w. Beatty, director emeritus
of fine arts at the Carnegie Institute.
Pittsburgh, will publish book this
fall dealing with the Fundamental prin-
ciples Of art and embodying the opin-
Ions of many painters and sculptors
whom he has known. Mr.. Beatty was
for twenty-six years ths director of
fine arts ut the institute. In a recent
Interview Mr.. Realty declared that the
chief cause Of confusion in art is due
to the fact that there are very few
good painters an incredibly small
number In any period, probably not
more than one in q hundred land so it
is easy in the midst Of the vast ma
jority Of mediocre artists Tor the in
experienced 70 lose their way.
The opinions and views of the great
master painters Of our times would
seem to me to possess peculiar value. =
continued Mr.. Beatty, sswien the art
world At this time is topsy-turyy with
new fads, new so-called schoola and
modern expression. But art goes on.

HOW DO THE EXPENDITURES FOR
STATE HIGHWAYS COMPARE
WITH AUTOMOBILE EXPENDI-
TURES IN DELAWAREg

During the year 1922, 24,600 auto
mobiles were registered in Delaware.
Estimating the average cost Of Oper-
alton including repairs, depreciation,
tires, gasoline and oil at S400 per car,
a conservative figure, there was ex-
pended by the automobile owners /of
the State during the year a total of
SO, $40, 900 for car operation and main
tenance alone.
It is variously estimated that from
1000 to 5000 trucks and cars were
sold in the State during the year. Say
5000. At an average cost of $1,000 this
would give an expenditure of $5,O0O,-
100000 or total for operation, main
tenance and new cars of $14,S4O,O 100000.
Total expenditures from State and
County funds for the construction and
maintenance of the State Highway
System during 1922 to December 1st
were $2,400, 100000. Total expenditures
from State and County funds to date
for the construction of the State High
way System were $7,450, 100000.
It appears from these figures that
the expenditures on automobiles by
the citizens of the State in one year
were about "a times the total cost to
the State, of the entire present State
Highway System of 263 miles.
In z years the value Of these auto
will have practically disap-
peared, while the value of the invest
ment in State Highways will still be
at least 800 of it's original cost.
Milford chronicle., 1922-12-29
WHAT ABOUT THE STATE
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT ?

The State Highway Department be-
lieves that the citizens of Delaware
should have an opportunity to become
familiar with the work and policies;
the authority and duties Of the De-
partment; the source and disposition
of the State Highway Funds, the work
so far accomplished and the costs
thereof; that they can form individual
opinions as to the success of the laws
and the manner in which the Depart
ment has performed its duties.
The Department also believes that
the opinions which are formed by the
people concerning the administration
of the State Highway Department and
the State Highway laws should be
based upon accurate information.
In order to answer questions which
naturally arise in the minds Of the
people, this pamphlet has been pre-
pared. The Department at all times
welcomes suggestions and criticisms
from the citizens of the State.
Milford chronicle., 1922-12-29
WHY DOES THE DEPARTMENT
BUILD CONCRETE ROADS AL
MOST EXCLUSIVELY3

The State Highway Law specifies
that State Highway shall be built,
upon a modern engineering design,
with a permanent foundation of c.
ment concrete or other equally per-
manent material, ,--. ---.---.-.-...---.
with an adequate drainage system, so
that such highway with reasonable
maintenance can be reasonably ex-
pected to endure for upwards Of forty
years."
The experience of the Highway De-
partment has proven, that a cement
concrete pavement as laid in Della
ware provides a pavement adapted to
local conditions and of moderate cost
when maintenance and construction
are figured over period Of years.
The annual report of the State Com
of Highways of New York for
1921 gives the average cost of main
tenance for the past seven years as
$543 per mile for Bituminous Maca-
dam pavements, while the average
cost of maintaining cement concrete
pavements (of the type constructed in
was $173 per mile. These
figures are for the maintenance of the
paved portion of the road only, and
do not include the cost of maintain
ing shoulders and bitches.
Milford chronicle., 1922-12-29
WHAT ARE DUTIES OF THE
DEPARTMENT 2
This Act provides

This Act provides:
Section 5. It shall be the duty of
the department to acquire full infor-
nation concerning the roads of the
State, the nature and improvements
thereof, the needs thereof, and the
character and amount of traffic there
on and such other details as may be
necessary or desirable for the depart
ment to have in the performance of
it's duty of determining upon and lay
ing out,
a consistent, congruous, COM
prehensive and permanent system of
State highways along the route or
routes of travel as will accommodate
the greatest needs Of the people Of the
State. It shall be the duty Of the de-
partment to determine upon, lay out,
construct or reconstruct State high
ways so as to make roads which, with
reasonable maintenance, shall be per-
manent; to maintain all State High
ways under its Jurisdiction; to insti-
tute and maintain system of ac-
counting adequate to give in detail the
expenditures Of the department and
the cost of its works; to keep full and
accurate minutes Of all meetings and
records of all proceedings of the de-
partment, which minutes and records
shall be public records, and to these
ends, the said department is hereby
authorized and empowered to deter
mine upon and lay out, within the rec
ommendation of the chief engineer, a
system of State Highways as afore-
said"

WHAT ARE THE FACTS
ABOUT THE STATE
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
More Spent in Year in Delaware To
Buy and Keep Automobiles Than
State Highway System Cost

Delaware State highways are sale
by experts to be second to none.
The modern State Highway System
has cost, up to December 1, 1922, $10,'
$4,000.
1t includes 263 miles of road.
Total expenditures of the Highway
System from State and County funds
have been $7,45O,00O.
For purchase of news cars and op-
Grafton and maintenance of automo-
biles and motor trucks residents Of
Delaware will spend $14,S40,000 in
1922.
Automobile expenditures by Della
wareans in one year are about twice
the total cost to the State of the whole
State Highway System 1858 miles,.
Outside of the appropriation by the
legislature from the general fund,
which for 1922 was $4,000, the entire
income of the Highway Department is
derived from motorvehicle fees.
whats the truth about this State
Highway Department?
That's the question that the average
Delawarean who has no time or in
clinatiOn to learn the inside facts of
how the State Highway Department is
run, would like to have answered, as
a result of recent newspaper stories,
that the affairs of the Highway De-
partment were to be Investigated, fol-
lowed by statements from highway Of
fcials welcoming such investigation.
An investigation shows the follow
ing:
That real estate is not taxed for
the maintenance Of the State Highway
Department.
The entire cost of State Highways
is derived from mOtOrVehicle fees and
a small appropriation from the State
Legislature, which amounted 10 $49,-
600 for the present year.
That DelaWareanS in one year spend
for automobiles twice the total cost
to the State Of the whole State High
way System (26S miles,.
The State Highway Department is
anxious to have citizens of Delaware
become familiar with the policies;
the authority and duties of the De-
partment; the source and disposition
of the State Highway Funds, the work
so far accomplished and the costs
thereof; so that they can form individ-
ual opinions as to the success of the
laws and the manner in which the
department has performed it's duties.
The Department believes the opin-
ions which are formed by the people
concerning the administration of the
State Highway lays should be based
upon accurate information, but that
the department at all times welcomes
suggestions and criticisms from the
citizens Of the State.
A booklet delivered to the State
Highway Department yesterday by the
Milford Chronicle Publishing Com
pany, shows the following information
the booklet is for general distribu-
tion and any persons can have a copy |
by applying to the department:

HOW ARE THE FINANCES OF THE
STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
CONTROLLED9

The Highway, Law requires the De-
partment to prepare a budget by the
first of December of each year, in
which shall be estimated the total
probable amount of income which it
will have for its use during the sue
ceeding year. From this total income
is to be deducted the interest and
sinking fund payments on the out
standing bonds as previously describ-
ed. There is also to be deducted not
less than $250.00 for each mile of
State Highway which will be under
maintenance during the year, that the
system may be kept in proper cOndi-
tion. There shall then be subtracted
the probable overhead" expenses of
the Department, such as the salaries
of its regular officers and employees
and the incidental expenses Of main
tanning its organization and offices. If
there is any balance remaining it is
known as "excess of revenue" If
there be any excess of revenue" over
the total estimated income the law
provides that, the budget having been
certified to by a Certified Public Ac-
countant and approved by the Auditor
Of Accounts, additional bonds may be
issued. The law further provides
that "No amount shall be borrowed
greater than an amount upon which
such excess of revenue will pay the
fixed charges" i" "the fixed charges" be-
ing the interest and sinking fund pay
ments.
Not only is the financing of the
program thus properly safe
guarded but provision is made for the
proper maintenance of the system
when completed. The steady increase
n the receipts from the automobile
insures additional pro-
ection.
