NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
TODAY
Warner Bros. Presents
"The Gilded Highway

The Gilded Highways" the j.
Stuart Blackton production for
Warner Bros. which shows at the
Monroe Theatre today, is screen
version of w. B. Maxwel's novel,
"A Little More"
The story concerns a middle
class family in suburban town
the sort of family that manages
to keep one servant and has com
Portable meals and time for limit
ed amusement, but no money for
Injuries. They can't even man
age an automobile. A happy,
wholesome, hard-working family
are.
Then the death of an uncle
brings them enormous wealth.. so
much money that the problem of
how to spend it becomes real
problem. They become the sort
Of people who have to worry as
TO whether to spend the winter
on the Riviera, or at Palm Beach,
or in California. Every dream of
Injurious happiness is theirs for
fulfillment. They are free to en-
joy themselves to the limit.
The problem Of whether people,
unframed to the use of wealth,
uHskilled in social life, essentially
untitled for exquisite ease, can
make themselves over to fit the
environment into which their
wealth helps to project them, is
said to form one of the most
thoughtful, and, at the same time,
exciting stories of the screen.
It is produced with a lavish
cast. Macklyn Arbuckle, remem-
bered as the stage star of "The
Roundup" and "The County
Chairman" appears rs the father
Of the newly rich family, and
Florence Turner, who was the
first of all screen stars, returns to
the screen in this picture as the
wife. Their two grown children
are portrayed by John Harron and
Dorothy Devore, and Andree
Tourneur has an appealing role as
the girl whom the son iilts when
he gets afflicted with great wealth.
Others in the cast are Mathilde
Comant, Sheldon Lewis, Tom Mills
and Myrna 10y.
The production is spectacular,
and, according to reviewers in
other cities, extremely interesting
as q picture of cross-section of
modern life. II has been recon-
mended as one Of the outstanding
pictures of the year.

New Maine Road
Markers Will Be
White and Black

White and black will replace, this
year, the familiar yellow and black
route markers along Maine high
ways. This change is made for the
purpose of eliminating all POSSIBLE
ity of confusion on the part Of out
of State visitors, by having the COL
or scheme agree with that Of other
states.
Explaining this change, Chief En-
gineer Sargent of the Maine High
way commission says that as a re-
suit of careful study by a group of
experts, the decision has been
reached to standardize the colors
for markers. These experts selected
a white ground with black figures. as
best. Claim is made for those colors
that the visibility is greater than a
yellow ground with black figures.
Mr.. Sargent is rather inclined to
question it, but yet feels that Maine
should be in line with the others in
this matter.
Danger and caution signs placed
along the highways will continue to
be in black letters on q yellow
ground.
A new highway map showing the
routes and markings. similar to that
issued in 1925, will soon be ready
for distribution. A number of new
routes have been laid out, including
three new inter- State roads.
Tourists from ether states who
visited Maine in 1925 were enthusi-
astic over the Maine road map. II
enabled them to find their way any
where they wanted to in the State
without difficulty. They declared II
to be the simplest and most easily
understood of any plan adopted by
the states for showing route direc-
tons. Several other states are
adopting this same plan the present
wear.

Outstanding in regard to the provi-

PLANTATION:
In order to hunt or trap musk
rats in any manner-in open season
in territory open to hunting-the
hunter must be equipped first with
his hunting license, and then with
the trapping license. The depart
ment does not construe the law so
technically as to say that it is unlaw-
full if a man is out hunting leglti-
mately during open season on musk
rats and accidentally runs across one
and shoots it for him to kill it with
out trapping license, but if hunt
err wishes to secure muSkrats by
shooting rather than by trapping, he
must be equipped with a trapping
license, as the department construes

bearing animal, etc, shall annually
