PENNSYLVANIA WANTS
100000 FOR ROADS
Amending Constitution Only Way To
Get It

The constitution of the common
wealth of Pennsylvania contains, in
section four, of article nine drastic
regulation regarding the State going
into debt. The section reads:
mo debt shall be created by or on
behalf OF the State, except to supply
casual Deficiencies OF revenue. repcl
invasion, Suppress instruction. defend
the State in war, or to pay existing
debt: and the debt created to supply
deficiencies in revenue shall never cx-
coed, in the aggrcgat at any on time,
one million dollars; Provided, how
ever, that the General Assembly ire
spective of any debt, may authorize
the state to issue bonds, to the amount
OF fifty millions of dollars, for the pur-
pose OF improving and rebuilding the
highways of the Commonwealth.
At the November election voters are
TO be given a chance to vote yes" or
mo" on an amendment increasing the
amount from the above quoted fifty
millions to one hundred millions of
dollars
In 1918 the voters gave the first
$50,000,000 bond issue a majority of
10000. That money has been spent
1t pulled great part OF Pennsylvania
out OF the mudl The new bond issue
will build MANY additional hundreds Of
miles of durable highways
If the voters approve this new bond
issue no time will be lost in getting the
work started, because the last legisla-
ture passed law detailing the pro-
cedure to be followed in selling the
bonds. Work will be resumed in early
spring.
1t is hoped that party lines will be
obliteratcd in the campaign to give
Pennsylvania the best highway system
in America.
There are in the State highway sys-
tenn l0,32S miles of roads, of which
5?77 miles are improved and 5,04S
miles unimproved The first $50,000-
600 bond issue did much, but much
workremains to be done--and there is
no money to do it unleGs another bond
issue is authorized.

Author of Enemies of Women"
Amazed at Cosmopolitan
CompanY's Energy.


American zip. pep and ginger, at
which Europe never ceases to
marvel, were exemplified to Vicente
Blasco Ibanez, the celebrated Span
ish author, when the Cosmopolitan
Company making Enemies of
Women" soon to be seen here after
its New York premiere at the Cen.
trail Theater on April 1. visited the
writer at his Monitor chateau,
prior to making scenes in Monte
Carlo and Nice.
The novelist was strolling in his
beautiful garden late one night
when the Blue Coast was disturbed
by a strange and unwonted uproar.
Senior Ibanez identified the noise as
that of numerous automobiles, stop
ping at his gate.
A voice called out of the dark
ness, in Spanish. but with an
English accent:
Mr.. Ibanez. we have just arrived
from New York. We are Cosmo-
politan people, working on the film
of your novel, Enemies of
Women"
The author entreated the party
to alight and enter. They did so,
the, men in dinner Jackets and the
beautiful women of the cast in
evening gowns.
Ibanez did not learn for hours
that the Americans had travelled
from Paris, working along the way
and had danced early that night.
They did not leave his villa until
after midnight. Nevertheless, they
were out ION location" the follow
ing morning at o'clock.
The company remained on the
Riviera for several weeks, their
enterprise in completing the mag
nificent picture proving a never
failing source of amazement to the
anfhnr
