ROAD BUILDING
HELPS EVERYBODY

We have heard much of the value
of road building as a means of allie
Waiting unemployment. Now it is in
teresting to see the actual results.
During 1881, the building of rural
roads and streets kept something like
q million men busy In actual con-
struction work-and, in the words of
Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of the
Bureau of Public Roads, "for each In
dividual so employed the total high
way expenditure provides additional
indirect employment equivalent to two
other persons"
Consequently, the 1881 road and
street construction program was of
benefit to about 100000 men-which
means that 1t helped some 10 or IL
million persons. Seycnty-five to 30
percent of the money spent went to
labor.
The best part Of all is that road
pulldlng, even When advocateG prtnci-
pally to help the unemployed, is not a
relief measure of the kind that costs
taxpayers millions of dollars which
pay no return Every time a rural
or farm-to-market road is built an
other town or area is given chance
to progress, to develop-and its in
ilabitants particularly farmers, have a
chance for greater prosperity, for a
fuller social life, and for more adj
vantageous marketing Of products. It
is worth repeating that the road
dollar is genuine. gilt-edge invest
ment which returns high rate of
interest-not only in actual cash, but
in benefits which cannot be measured
in money.

much happiness they would make! 1t

Irish Made Movie
Shown at National

"Ireland's Rough-Hewn Des-
tiny" a motion picture combin-
ing a record of Irish history with
its scenic grandeur and the
achievements OF the new Repup,
lie. was presented yesterday
Afternoon and evening at the Ma
tional Theater.
The film is synchronized with
a pleasing musical accompani.
ment and its story is told
through a lecture by Bailey Ross,
who is largely responsible for its
creation. 1t depicts the ancient
glories of Ireland. the coming of
st. Patrick and his great influ.
ence, the tragic events of Crom-
wells time. and those later and
no less tragic happenings of the
Easter Rebellion and the depre-
dationS of the Black and Tans.
Yet in general the atmosphere
of the picture is peaceful, with
ancient myths and folklore
rather prominently featured.
Most practical are the scenes
which represent the great new
Shannon River hydro electric
project, the developments in
Irish agriculture, and-of aca-
demic interest only to us-the
manufacture of Dublin stout.

Ann Corio Tops
Fine Cayety Bill

Always a great favorite with
Washington fans, Ann Corio, the
gorgeous queen of burlesque, fairly
outdoes herself this week, and
stops the show.
Forgetting that she is one of
the higher salaried stars, Miss
Corio is most generous to a most
appreciative audience. Vying for
top honors in the female sector
is Miss Kitty Ellis, a sun-kissed
beauty from California. She con-
fines her work to just looking
pretty, and gets away with it in
great style.
Containing enough variety to
make it a real cracker-jack show,
the Jersey Bellies" offers dane
ing, singing, and fun galore. Two
able comedians are presented.
Joe Freed and his partner, Jack
Greenman.
Elsie Huff and Harry Ryan,
who seemingly get better with
each appearance have some new
dances and she has the same en-
gaging smile as of old. Alba
Bradley. blues singer, and Jean
cite Allebasi, dazzling brunette,
along with Dot Bell and Jean
Kennedy, offer four more reasons
why the show clicks. Gus Flaig,
the producer and Bob Wallace
make ideal straight men for the
jokes of Freed and Greenman.

as a hard-boiled taXi-driver he
displayed these same character.

let him have the thousand a

Action Aplenty
There is action aplenty in THE
Crowd Roars," racing cars catch
ing afire, skidding and plunging

it's cracked up to be.

racer who tries to keep his kid
brother from following in his
footsteps, in regards to racing
cars, women and booze. The
brothers row over a blonde, Joan

young brothers star is in the

his three talented brothers, and
Gloria Foy with her "Stars in

Miss Foy, appearing with Sam

funny. The acrobats of the hour
are Ed and Jennie Rooney.
