GET A PERMIT
To CUT trees
TREES ON HIGHWAYS UNDER
JURISDICTION OF HIGHWAY
DEPARTMENT is WORD.

Many people are not aware that
they cannot cut trees within the pub
lie highways without making them
selves liable 20 fine or Imprisonment
In the extra session Of the legislature
Of 1921, law was passed making it
a misdemcanor TO cut trees or shrubs
within the limits Of the public high
WAYS in the State of Michigan without
permit from the authorities having
jurisdiction over such roads The
state Highway Commissioner has jur-
dction i'm the case Of State Trunk
me and Federal Aided Roads, and
Commissioner Rogers is determined
that the law shall be strictly enforced
MS far as such roads are concerned in
which he has the cooperation Of the
State Department of Public Safety
end the county highway authorities.
Some violations Of this act have
been noticed due to land owners cut
ting trees along their frontage in ig
norance Of this law. 1t should be
understood, however, that the law
makes no exceptions and any land
owner who cuts trees in the highway
along his land is liable to arrest, fine
or Imprisonment.
Somewhat similar laws have been
passed in other states consistent with
a progressive conservation policy. The
people, not only Of Michigan but Of
the whole country, are beginning to
realize that the conservation OF our
tree growth is a vital necessity and
there is a strong sentiment for the
planting and preservation Of trees
along the highways. While trees add
greatly to the beauty of q region, they
are valuable to the land owners and to
the public at large for many reasons.
Trees temper the climate and protect
the land from washing; they give
shelter to the birds, the farmers best
friends, they serve as windbreaks to
protect his crops; they furnish fruit,
nuts and other food products and
when properly conserved furnish 4
perpetual supply of timber They add
shade and beauty to the highway and
add value to the adjoining farm lands
by making farm homes more attract
i've. This may be a sentimental value
hut it is none the less real for it IS a
well known fact that land with trees
is more desirable for home than
land lacking this natural attraction.
Michigan derives q large revenue
from the summer tourist traffic and
the conservation Of her tree growth is
absolutely essential to retain and in
crease this tourist and resort business.
It is expected that this new law,
which not only protects existing road
side trees but also authorizes the
planting Of desirable trees and shrubs
will materially increase the beauty Of
the highways and benefit the public at
large as well as the abutting property
owners by making the state more at
tractive to its residents and t. the
ever increasing number Of people who
spend their summer herc.

OF the question TO keep an audience
still for ten minutes without action
before it's eyes. Ideals could not be
trusted to interest the listeners for
short period. But the Theater Guild
audiences sat attentive throughout all
those discursive scenes. 1t is all but
an evidence In the constantly increas-
ing intelligence of theater audiences.
1t may be true that the banal and
the conventional still have their audi
ences. They have. But the number
OF theatergoers that demand inteli-
gence has increased even since / came
to live in New York.
"And If there are not more intelli-
gent plays it is not the fault of the
public. The theatergoers are eagerly
awaiting something better from the
managers. Even the most CONNER
cial impresarios who take no risks and
want to keep on supplying the public
with what 1t has already had. would
find it worth their while to try some
thing just little bit better. Audi
ences would be so grateful for it. since
the public is really starved for
higher level Of intelligence than IL
finds in the managers lists. Yes, pub
lie taste is every year on a higher
level even If the managers are the
last to appreciate il.
Sometimes / wonder if acting is re-

1T always has seemed to me-" she

negro has been too often emphasized In
plays and stories about him. IL occurred

play dealing with his character without
any exaggeration.
What impressed me was the old that
superstition has SO widely on colored
people. wanted to go into the origin
OF that superstition. and that's what
this play brings out--that il was de-
rived straight from the coast OF Africa.
Moreover. II shows how education can
eliminate this-how the negro Is. in
fact. improving through education 20
the point where IT has driven away his
primitive fear.
The play seeks to stress that there
are sides TO the negro's character that
so far have never been portrayed
dramatically. The theme OF voodoc

as one having great dramatic value.
