at present Is to win over the middle

co-operatives are the instrument for

THE economic plans In the Soviet

development. The budget had to be
thrice raised, because the revenue
rose continually. The growth of the
metal industry is especially character

doubled. This shows that in the In

growing, and that the proletariat is
capable not only Of destroying the old,
but also Of building up the new. West

our country to convince themselves
that the proletariat Is capable of build

him. The play is not lacking in emo
tional heights, but a spirit of comedy
is carried all the way through, and
attractively, by Helen Carew, as Mrs.
DIR. Langdon, and Frank Conroy, as
Phil Holt. Their parts are done with
refreshing ease. Others in the small
and well chosen cast are Sue Mac
Nanamy, as Mrs. Trayne; Frank
Thomas, as Jim Trayne; Fritz Will
Hams, as Or. Langdon, and Master
Edwin Mills, as Dicky Langdon. OF
the last named it may he said that
he does his part exceedingly well, but
his role is not convincing. One of the
weak parts of the play is the dis
closure, by this child. of the wife's un-
faithfulness. Children do sometimes
give their parents and other grown
ups away, and a child certainly fills
necessary part in Mr.. Nugent's
play. But not, if we may be so bold,
as Mr.. Nugent portrays him.
We also wonder, and have wondered

necessary that a girl. kissed as Bess
Flanders was kissed, must always and
invariably cry, "Oh. What have you

ing so for years, but this reviewer is
yet to be convinced. Certainly Bess
Flanders made her audience laugh,
when none, we believe, is appropriate.
The play is the first presentation by
Gene Buck, and, it seems, is destined
for success. The settings are more than
attractive and reflect credit on the
work of Joseph Urban. No one would

WASHINGTON 'r7Tr6

Especial to Sank Certre Herald)
Washington, Aug. 26-By far the
busiest man in Washington today is
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
Lincoln C. Andrews, the new COM
mander in chief of Uncle Sans Anti
Rum army. The new prohibition
army mobilizes September 1, but the
"a administrators named last week
have already left Washington to re-
organize their offices in the field. The
headquarters force here, it was indi-
Gated by Mr.. Andrews, probably will
be much altered by this change, which
will take place gradually following
the greatest shake-up in the history
of American enforcement of the Pro-
hibition law.
Under the scheme of reorganiza-
ton, as outlined by Mr.. Andrews,
these district administrators are to
be supreme each in his own field. Mr..
Andrews likens them to team cap
tains, each responsible for the team
he is to direct. And that, according
to Mr.. Andrews, means that the dis
trict administrator is to have rela-
tive free hand in hiring and firing his
own subordinates.
In his new force Mr.. Andrews has
named four men of Regular Army
experience, one railroad executive
recommended by Judge E. H. Gary,
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, and has filled the remaining 10
administrative posts with men who
have formerly been in the prohibition
service. The maximum salary stipu-
lated is $4,000 per annum, and this
only to be paid in the larger and
more populous areas. Mr.. Andrews
believes that about half of the "a
administrators will receive the max
imum and the others will grade down.
ward to about five thousand. 1t was
explained that the $4,000 limit was
fixed because there is no one In the
Internal Revenue Bureau, under
which the Prohibition Unit acts, who
receives more than this sum.
In discussing the subject with news
paper men Mr.. Andrews, with soldier
like frankness, said that the Govern
ment had no accurate knowledge OF
whether or not the coast guard cam
paign against the vessels on Rum
Rows has been success or failure.
The government does not know with
any degre of accuracy whether
the coast guard campaign has mater
ially reduced the amount OF illicit
liquor coming to the United States
from overseas, and it has no means
of knowing. However, the new organ
ization will be expected to provide the

ton Of trunk highway, the depart
ment always tries to select the best
possible detour. Nearly always the
detour is strengthened and sometimes
virtually rebuilt to carry the extra
burden of traffic that is to be thrown
upon it and often the preparations
are begun months in advance.
But there are limits on the expense
that reasonably may be incurred to
furnish a temporary route during the
progress of improvement of the per-
manent highway. In some situations
involving large volume of traffic, pro-
Vision of a first-class detour would
cost practically as much as the build
ing of the permanent heavy-duty
highway. That is especially true on
sections on light, sandy soil.
The department policy, however, is
to keep detours in the best condition
that reasonable expenditures will per-
NIT, all things considered, and to ask
road users who are paying all the
bills to bear in mind that little dust

making savings for them and is mere

HENRY FORD HAS 1T IN FOR
BOSSY

According to recent news articles,
Henry Ford thinks the Dairy Business
is all wrong as long as we have to
go to the COW for our raw product,
milk. He believes that milk should
be made alphabetically by machinery.
Put in so much water, so much sugar,
so much casein, so much fat, etc.,
shake we'll and we have milk. But
ter can then be made from this syn
thetic milk as at present. Why put
in the butterfat at all, just to take
it right out again?
If Mr.. Ford thinks the Dairy Cow
is a clumbsy, inefficient way to get
milk, what about natures Clumbsy,
inefficient way of growing trees for

tically, then the Dairy Farm might
feel he is out OF date IL he IS still

HIGHWAY AIMS
Little Falls Transcript

The highways of Wayne county,
Michigan, in which Detroit is located,
are attracting the interest of high
way officials and citizens in all parts
of the country. The chairman of the
board of county road commissioners
states the country's aim thus:
Roads low in first cost, dustless,
easily and cheaply maintained; offer
ing safe traction to every type OF We
hicle; pavements free from patents
and royalties; roads that can be wild
ened or resurfaced without loss of
original investment, bridges capable
of supporting a 30-ton live load with
a clear roadway of 27 feet, program
of grade separation at steam and elec-
trio roads; tree planting and roadside
Identification following all new con-
struction; curves widened and bank
ed; intersections widened and marked
with flashing lights; open bitches to
be closed and guard rails provided at
turns; minimum width of 40 feet on
all main highways; underground
wires; comfort stations; every foot of
the roads lighted, and all advertising
signs and poles barred.
There are to be superhighways zoo
feet in width with special traffic lanes
for slow moving vehicles with the CEN
ter reserved for street car or inter-

urban tracks or rapid transit lines
These giant highways are expected to
eliminate all used for subways and to
be big enough to take care of trans
portation of all the workers in a city
of skyscrapers and to give the sky
scrapers themselves an attractive set
ting.
Wayne county is said to be getting
more highway value for its expendi-
ture than most counties. An inter
esting and stimulating fact about il
all is that in a general way this splen-
did highway program was planned 16
years ago. 1t furnishes an inspiring
example of the Importance of fore
sight combined with neighborhood CO.
operation and the elimation of petty
politics.

GOOD ROADS RAINBOWS

On the worst modern highway de-
tour, dust that is only grit in the
pessimist's teeth carries good roads
rainbows for the optimist.
Ordinarily, detours are found now
only in localities where new and bet
ter permanent construction is in pro-
gress on the regular highways. The
detour still suffers from notorious
ly bad name of long standing, in
spite of the large OUTLAWS to raise its
standing with the road-using public
AS a rule, it is condemned without
even a trial. Only by presenting a
perfectly smooth way can the detour
surmount the mountain of public pre-
JUDGE and get even a fair rating.
Special efforts are made by the
Minnesota highway department to
provide good detours-and allay the
common prejudice against detours.

required system of checks

Whether Mr.. Andrews has been
able to keep politics out of tn recon-
structed organization is matter of
debate. The fact that so many of
the State directors who today were
elevated to be district administrators
were originally appointed largely with
political endorsements, is a matter of
comment. 1t is not to be overlooked,
however, that number of state di-
rectors who are known to have the
support of some of the n:t.s inHusn-
tial Republican Senators, receive no
advancement in the new scheme. 1t
is notable, also, that three Of the
ItTenty-four district administ- at,rs
named today are retired rega,ar
army officers, personal and military
III 'nds and associates of Mr.. And
rews. Mr.. Andrews regards it as adj
>artageous to have military man in
charge in the Southeastern d stric,
which contains > such large coast
.lne. because the proble IN of enforce
ment there requires the closest sort
of cooperation with the coast guard,
a service which is organized on mill
tary lines.
An official "analysis of the situa-
ton" made public at the Treasury as
a memorandum for the new admins
traitors, instructs them to eliminate
the bootleg industry
"The bootlegging business must be
eliminated by depriving it of its
source of supply, or by depriving it
of its Market" said the order. A hint
that the new enforcement machine is
to go beyond the mere bootlegger and
illicit manufacturer and seek those
who lend aid and comfort to law
breakers, was contained in the memo
randum.
The three main lines of attack
were outlined by Mr.. Andrews as fol-
lows:
l. Wiping out sources of supply,
including importation, manufacture,
diversion and transportation; (2)
educating ''the market" (the public)
to knowledge of the danger, that lies
in bootleg liquor; and 90 eliminating
conspiracies to violate the prohibition
laws in the larger cities, which reveal
persons in all walks of life as respon-
sible for the present prohibition prob
lem.
The secondary object for the Fed
eral forces, Mr.. Andrews points out
is "to assist and develop local law
enforcement" A tremendous CAM
paign has been mapped out. 1t
should be successful.
