\ LECTURE on theater art, "The Contem-

John Martin of the New York Times in the
Caroline Mckinley studio, 1881 I street, on the
evening of February IS Mr. Martin asso-
cated with Maurice Brown and Stuart Walker,
pioneers in Americas little theater movemerJ,
and has contributed, through his writings, TO
better understanding of the theater
tiStic expression. An interesting address the
dance was given by Mr.. Martin in the Brook

dent being obliged to prepare the board and
ground on which he ultimately placed his deco
ration. The subjects were selected as exercises
in imagination as well as execution, each ore
based on the principles of design as brought to
the students during the first stages of their
study in course in dynamic symmetry, which,
being translated in everyday terms, literally
means power through control"
N interesting lecture Modernism and
~ the Individual given by c. Law Wat
kins of the Phillips Memorial Gallery. under
the auspices of the art department at Howard
University in the university gallery a fortnight
or more ago, in which Mr.. Watkins claimed
that the rise and spread of the modernist move
ment was merely indication of increasing
individualism. Modernism, he claimed, en-
courages the artist to be himself, to say SOME
thing new if he can and to say it in a per-
sonal way. This present-day trend gives, Mr..
Watkins affirmed, exceptional opportunity for
nationalistic expression for those who have in
dividuality and personality to add something of
real value to the world of art.

No EXEMPTIONS
FOR GAS TAX

The Federal Government now
is collecting a gasoline tax Of
l cent per gallon.
It is expected the levy will
produce $3.50, 100000, based on
1881 gasoline consumption of
slightly more than $4,000, 900, 900
gallons.
The revenue will go to general
purposes rather than roads, and
specifically is designed to aid in
balancing the budget.
No refunds or exemptions are
provided for, which means that
States, counties, and communities
also must pay the tax on fuel
consumed in the motor vehicles
they own and operate.
The tax is imposed upon gaso-
line sold by the importer or pro-
ducer. Use of fuel by a pro-
ducer or importer, other than in
the production of gasoline, is
construed as a sale and the fuel
taxable. The term producer in
cludes refinerS, compounders,
blenders. or dealers selling gaso-
line exclusively to producers. The
term gasoline" means gasoline,
benzol, and any other liquid, the
chief use of which is as a fuel
for the propulsion of motor We
hicles, motor boats, or airplanes.

WORK ON ROADS
GREAT HELP
To J0BLESS

I'VE are hearing a gOGd deal
about employment and disputes
arising as to the value Of pub
lie works in aiding employment,
but the records, by months,
covering road work are clear
evidence that road work af-
fOrds much employment"
So declared w. C. Markham,
secretary of the Ameri,
can Association of State Highway
Officials, today. He continued:
II am basing this statement
on q comparison Of the con-
tracts let and the actual enum-
Grafton Of men employed by the
States for the month Of April.
There Is no class Of men in the
country today who are making
a greater effort to keep up en-
plOyment than the State high

there has been a tremendous
slump Of contracts for the work
in the first four months of 1892
compared to 1881.

ing. This made a total in that
month of 7,18O miles contracted
for various stages of improve
ment.
CONTRACTS FALL OFF
Comparing the number of
returns for this year in April,
we find that the high type
contracts let has dropped to
1852 miles; the low type to
1862, and grading to 900, max
ing a total Of 1924 miles, or
a reduction Of over As per cent.

FEDERAL ROAD
AID PRAISED

Although Federal contributions
for road-building are only a small
part of the money annually spent
on roads, the value received
makes Federal participation one
of the country's best bargains.
This statement was made here
by Frederic E. Everett, president
of the American Association OF
State Highway Officials, in call
ing attention to the current road
building task. He said:
Federal assistance has been
the outstanding factor in help
ing the States proceed in an
orderly fashion in the improve
meit of the mOst-uSed roads,
the roads that accommodate
the most motorists. There are
some three million miles Of
highways in this one country.
Out Of that overwhelming
mileage has been created the
State highway systems, total
ing about $4,000 miles. The
Federal aid system, containing
about Z per cent Of all roads,
is a still more select group Of
highways largely composed OF
the most direct, and necessary
travel routes.
"UnquestiOnably, Federal help
was needed in laying out these
through highways which would
benefit the country as a whole
and it is clear that Federal as
sistance was needed to insure
the improvement Of this system.
1t is equally evident that the
Federal Government should
carry on its road work.
"The road job ahead is still
large. The latest figures avail
able show that at the end Of
1880, 80 per cent of the roads
in the State highway systems
was unsurfaced, A per cent rOv.
cred with low type surfaces and
only 26 per cent surfaced with
high type pavement"

SPLENDID ROAD
NOW OPEN FOR
ACADIA PARK

BAR HARBOR, Me-, June 80.
Motorists to Names picturesque
seacoast this summer will find
a fine new highway on Mt. Des-
ert Island to the summit Of Cad
lilac Mountain. 1882 feet, the
highest mountain on the Allan
tic Seaboard from Labrador to
South America.
The new road, known as the
Cadillac Mountain Highway, Is
now open to traffic but will not
be formally dedicated until July 4.
The people Of the United
States have in Acadia National
Park a rare possession as rich
in historic lore as In panoramic
beauty. Discovered by Cham
plain in 1904, the Island Of De-
serted Mountains" as he named
it, has passed through a colorful
history Of French, English, and
American Colonial ownership. ln-
til three centuries later, in 1919,
by private gifts to our Govern
ment. it became a national park.
BY motor the park is accessible
from all eastern points. U. s.
Highway No. l is the best and
shortest coastal route from Wash
ington or Philadelphia, to Bangor,
Me-. where the Lafayette High
way connects directly with Bar
Harbor and the park. A steel
and concrete bridge joins the
terminus Of the highway on the
mainland with Bar Harbor on the
island.
1t is also possible for the motor
iSt to drive to Rockland at the
entrance to Penobscot Bay and
go by boat, with his car on board,
to Bar Harbor or Northeast or
Southwest HarborS.
To get the most out Of his trip
the motoriSt is advised to bring
along his hiking clothes and spend
a couple of mornings walking
along the hundreds of trails run.
ming through the park. The
park commission has designed the
trails to suit the inclination of
every one.

IN BUILDING Of
MODEL ROAD

HOUSTON, Tex, June 30.
What Is declared by leading high
way engineers to be the finest
stretch Of highway in Texas, If
not In the whole world; the very
last word in the art Of modern
road construction in durability
ana, particularly in safety for the
motoriSt. has been thrown open
to the public by the officials of
Harris county. The most modern
machinery was adapted to the
special requirements and even a
herd Of elephants was employed.
The new highway embodieS
many original features which,
1t Is predicted, will afford a pat
tern for road builders. The new
model road runs IL miles between
the city Of Houston and the sea-
side resorts at La Porte. 1t con-
meets the Galveston Highway at
South Houston with the La Porte
Highway at La Porte whose fash.
ionable bay shore line is dotted
with homes of the wealthy.
Triumph for Halle
The completion Of the per

kion for durability and safety Is
regarded as a triumph for
County Engineer Charles r.

them.

attended the dedication Of the
new road and delivered the dedi-
catory address. Following the
dedicatory exercises the motor
cade made q second trip over
the new road. Said Engineer
Halle:
"Tt's just about the pref
test road I know. I think the
nOnSkid granular top is going
70 help drivers a whole lot.
I've tried il out and there's
plenty of hold on the roads
surface"
Elephants Called In
Since the highway was to be
1914 miles long it meant that
5000 cubic feet of concrete
were to be used in the road. But
when this immense amount OF
supplies as well as the gravel
and sand necessary for the btu
mii1ouS surface was assembled near
the plant it was found that the
switching facilities were made
quate. Faced with possible delay,
Jim Pittman, president Of the
Gulf Bitulithic Company, made
Overtures to the Christy Brothers
circus for the use of their herd
of elephants which were idle.
These huge beasts did every
thing desired from switching a
car Of gravel to pushing a heavily
loaded truck out of a mud hole.

Minnesota Gas Tax
Hit in Court Test

Suit to test the authority of
Minnesota to collect the Sc tax on
gasoline sold to cities Of the first
class has been filed by an oil COIN
pany.
The company asserts the cities
refuse to pay the tax on the
ground that the legislature had
intened that gasoline used for nlu
nicipal purpose should be tax
free. 1t seeks to enjoin the State
from attempting to collect taxes
on 100000 gallons of gasoline sold
to Minneapolis.
