or his department will begin to
disintegrate and construction
work will be crippled.
The strongest sentiment for
bonds is in the cities; the strong
est sentiment against the gasoline
tax is also in the cities. The
anti-bond and gasoline tax senti-
ment is found mainly in the val
ley and southwest counties. These
sections have good roads, financed
and constructed mainly by means
of county bond issues ana toll
gates.
The eastern cities and many OF
the eastern counties. the latter be-
/ ing almost knee-deep in mud ir

valley and southwest counties wit
being selfish and self-cenuered
These charges, with the answer

as We built and paid for ours,
have created a sectional feeling
as never before existed in the
State.

DECLARES ENGLAND DOES
 NOT NEED GULF STREAM

LONDON. Jan. 27.--Science has come forward recently to destroy an- other of mans long cherished illu sions, but at the same time IL has removed q source of constant anxiety to those who would attempt to un- derstand the causes of climatic con ditions
 NJ. Danois. the well known hpdrol- oglst. who has made a special study of the waters of the Atlantic, has de clared that the temperate climate of the British Isles and the northern the Gulf Stream, and that it's diver s!on would not therefore leave this section of the world in the grip Of an Arctic winter. NJ. Danois claims to have proved that the Gulf Stream, rising to the north cf the Antilles, does not pass the Sargasso Sea, aud the notion must be discarded that it trayerses the Atlantic to balhe the shores Of England and France.
 He expresses the view that the Cuff Stream is merely the baekwash of the equatorial currents. Summer heat provokes dllations of the heav. fly salted equatorial waters, which translate themselves into permea- ticns of the more lightly salted Arc tic and Continental waters. It is these permeations in the eastern Al lantic which have been mistaken for branches of tho Gulf Stream. They are. however. purely local currents and vary according to the season.

DON'T BLAME YOUR CHILDREN" TONIGHT

One of the truisms of Shakespeare is "The Plays the Thing Still ono remembers a long line Of good plays and good pictures that have come in for more praise than profit due to q title that did not appeal to the pub lie. Don't Blanc Your Children Is considered an appealing title, and is at the Coliseum tonight only. It is claimed that the title glouses eurios- ity in the mind of the reader 10 in- vcstieate. It conveys several angles. IL might mean most anything. It will reach and pull all classes Of patrons
 Don't Blame Your Children Is q strong story of stern parents rearing "a family of girls, The first direc- tions the girls remember from the stoIn father was series of "Don'ts.'
 The punch in the story Is when the elder daughter took her affairs in her own hands. She did as she pleased, a first quietly and without the knowledge of the par ent, then when it was known to her parent, she told him to jolly well like it or jump in the lake. After a series of dramatic incidents she paved tho way for her younger sis ter and younger brother to make their own happiness and in the bar gain she converted the father into tho new way of ruling by love and understanding rather than by a strict course Of 'Don'ts.'
 There will be another episode of Daredevil Jack with Jack Demp- sey as the hero.
