WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. - Presi- dent Hocver's call for economic CO., operation came at the psychological moment for road builders.
 Increased appropriations for the federal aid system are seen as an impetus to all highway construction
 For many years the appropria- .tions have been held at constant figure of SIS 100000 annually, a sum parceled cut to the various states to match the amount spent by each in federal highway development.
 Indication that, without an in- creased appropriation, federal pro jects would not proceed as rapidly as they had in the last few years is carried in the report of the bu- reau of public roads that the mile age of improvement during the fis- cal year was smaller than in pre- yious years.
 That federal projects have been able to approach constant pace is

THE SHOPNORN ANGEL"
 COMING TO COLISEUM

Gary Cooper and Nancy Carol, who are co-featured in "The Shop worn Angel" at the Coliseum next Sunday, came to the Paramount studios from the opposite ends of the United States. Cooper was born in Montana; Miss Carroll claims New York as her birthplace.
 The early years of this pair were just as widely divergent in occu- patton as were their birthplaces. Cooper came to moving pictures al- most directly from a cattle ranch in Montana where he was employed as Q cowboy. Miss Carroll was Q musical comedy star at an early age and from the stage went into motion pictures.
 Their real life backgrounds arc net unlike the backgrounds they are assigned in "The Shopworn Angel" Miss Carroll plays the part of 9 Broadway butterfly who fits among the bright lights until she meets Gary Cooper, who plays the part of a shy boy from the country. It is a dramatic love story with an in- teresting tangle.

nnent for highway expansion, an in- crease in the federal aid appropria- tion to SIPS, ,000, 900 is being sought by the house committee alone to stimulate building and forestall de- pression.
 The federal aid system for the fiscal year included 188857 miles of interstate and intercounty high ways. Nearly 79,000 miles of the system have been initially improved thus far with federal aid.
 With an increase in the federal aid appropriation, the American Au- tomobile association estimates. ex- penditures for highway and street construction and maintenance in 1930 would exceed s2.5O0, 100000 and furnish employment for 625 900 pso- pie
 A bill to appropriate 50,0O0 900 to the states in construction of rural post roads has been intro duced by Representative Roblson, Republican of Kentucky.

laid to the accumulation of a large balance in the fund because, during earlier years, annual sums had not been entirely expended.
 The balance has hastened the rate of improvement during past years but it has now been absorbed and the results of confining the road building program to current appropriations are reflected in less ened mileage.
 Governors of many states, in re- sponse to President Hoover's call for increased building, pledged their aid, but the maximum to which the states can push their highway development may depend on federal help.
 As a result eyes of the road build ing world will be turned to congress when it fashions what may be the backbone for road building pro- grams in authorizing federal aid appropriations.

 She has host of interests, hob bies, duties. Mornings, she be- beams, she rushes frantically to reach her studio dressing room on time, and occasionally is forced to make the dash in her car in silken pajamas covered by an overcoat.
 All of which is inconsequential, however consoling to clock-punch- ing stenographers, as compared to Bebe's return in the talkies.
 She is Cinderella of the silent movies if ever there was one. A year ago she was considered "all washed up," done. Her comedies were not splashing at the box-of- flee, her contract was nearing an end. She was not, as has been printed, refused voice test. She never asked one.

Bebe was lamenting that she yet faced the task.
