NEW YORK, April 7.-Really /
wish that somebody would insti-
tute winter and summer cruises
TO the Neighborhood Theater on
Grand street. Or aeroplanes
from Forty-second street to that
select region would be immensely
popular. One arrives tired out, as
from a long and perilous journey.
only to find that the play starts
later than even a Broadway pro-
duction starts and indulses In the
most strenuous intervals ever in
vented.
The latest there is the Green
Ring" one of the most unneces-
sary Russian plays possible to
imagine. 1t was authored by
Zinaida Hippius. and proved to be
entirely lacking in subtlety, art.
or humor. 1t concerned itself
principally with the plight OF
young girl whose mother had a
liaison with some chap and whose
father shared his home with a
peroxide widow" The poor child
was all "het up" as well sho
might be.
They attended a meeting OF tho
Green Ring. which seemed to be
a sort OF debating society I'm which
the youth of the community (of
PetrogradD battled against the older
members. This might have been
very amusing. but II was not. IL
carried little point and went
astray with most of the other
incidents in the play.
To add 10 the curious occasion
the piece was acted with a lack OF
restraint that was extraordinary.
The husband in the case, inter
preted by Eugene Powers, was so
explosively terrible that 1t almost
saved the situation by appealing
to ones sense Of humor. Imagine
that trip to Grand street to look
at such acting! Then there was
the wife, played by Pamela Gay
thorne. Miss Gaythorne Ii really
a very charming young woman
who has done good work. but as
this siren OF Petrograd she ever
acted and behaved so very much
like an amateur that one mar
veled.
1t was Joanna Rees who won all
the dramatic honors that were
floating about. She was sincere.

lieve me. she had no cinch.
Petrograd appeared to be a most
melancholy metropolis. even in
1914, and I should hate to see a
play cast there today.
The first night" too on the
aspect of a gala" occasion.
Everybody went out into the lobby
and looked-or pretended to look
at the metal craft. And people
prattled just as they prattled at
Back to Methuselah." They ask
ed themselves whether II wasn't
too precious for words and whether
the piece wasn't too perfectly dar-
ing-and so on and so forth. AL

MUSCLE SHOALS WILL NOT
SURPASS DAM AT KEOKUK

Keokuk will not take off its hat

The huge waterpower dam on
the Mississippi river at Keoltuk,
Iowa. long the largest dam of its
kind in America. will not be sur
passed by the proposed dam at
Muscle Shoals, Ala. according 10
army engineers. The Alabama
project sought by Ford. although
It probably will develop more horse
power through auxiliary appliances,
will not be larger in actual proper

The army also revealed that the
Keokuk project is being operated
under a 100-year lease. A similar

Smokestack Turned

Strains Of Dixie" from a band,

smokestack Of the boiler he had
entered to clean up with two
other men, caused Soap Monroe,
negro. to climb out again with
some precipitation. There was
no band in the vicinity when
the distinct notes Of the tune
were caught also by Bert Har-
rison and Ed Copper, the other
two. and the mystery was put
down as another phenomenon Of
the radio world.
Although there are no experts
to back up the theory. it Is be-
lieved that the big metal stack
of the w. T. Smith Lumber
Company, with its guy wires as
the attennae. functioned as q
complete receiving set during a
radio concert delivered from
some unknown point. A slight
shunting of electrical current
from that in use at the mill at

Whereas, the maintenance Of state

once constructed or the expenditure
Of the money for their construction
will be wasted; and
Whereas, it is the plan of the State
Highway Commission to undertake
the maintenance Of the 1900 miles of
stae highways by a patrol system as
soon as the amendment is carried and
the necessary funds become avail
able.
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
State Highway Commission urge up
on the voters of the state the neces-
sity for the adoption of this amend
ment and request all good road advo-
Gates to lend their efforts in order
that the proposition known as
Amendment No. 3" may be thor
oughly understood by the voters, that
they may vote intelligently upon this
question"
Road Work viii Begin in Few
Weeks
The letting of the contracts for ITO
miles of state roads this week means
the starting Of the states 100000
900 road program immediately.
The State Highway Commission has
three parties of surveyors out at the
present time completing surveys on
roads that are to be taken up this
fall. The contracts let the other day
were included in 81 counties and it is
expected that additional contracts
will be let in as many more counties
within the next 80 days. The State
Highway Commission expects to have
road work going under the new bond
law in more than half the counties of
the state by the first, of December,
The contracts in other counties will
follow right along as rapidly as it is
possible. for the engineers to get the
projects ready, for letting.
Color in Highway Markers
A bit of color will be injected in
the markers to be used on the state
highways. The Commission has adopt
ed uniform design for this purpose.
The sign will be cast iron, oval in
shape, nine inches wide by twelve
inches long. The figures in the CEN
ter will be at least inches high and
will be raised above the surface. The
words missouri State Highway" will
be painted on the outside rim. The
letters and figures will be painted
black and the background will be of
orange color. 1t has been deter
mined that black and orange will
bring out more of striking contrast
than any other color. The new signs
will he nlaced on steel anple iron
three and one-half feet above the sur
face of the ground. 1t will make a
very beautiful design and these mark
ers will be placed on all the state
roads.
