rKIUAY Ar 1 iIK.InOOpL JUL? 11, «yZ4 (MT GET HIGHWAYS “PaV-As-YaU-Go” Plan Means Delay of Half Century, De clare Georgians ATLANTA, July 11. Good roads advocates made era statement here today tjpt it would take a halt century to pay lor better highways ti a ••'pay-as-yuu-go'’ plan was adopt ed instead of a bona issue. The' present income of the state highway department has been mis takenly estimated, it was pointed out, to be between seven and eig.u million dollars. This guess has in- Ciud< d two millions of auto tag tax, whien by law can be used for main tamance only. Also two million ol Iwderai Aid, which the department has been able to-gel only by getting county tax appropriations to the extent of a-million. It includes the million now allotted to the paying . of the hypothecated W. & A. R. E. ■- rentals. It includes another iot, from the 3 cent gasoline tax, amounting to another full million which is by law allotted to the coun ties, which they can spend as they please. The actual present income of the State Highway Department is a mi - lion from the 3 cent tax, and a mi!'- lion from Federal Aid. This, advocates of a bond issue assert, is woefully inadquate to build' anything but dirt roads that are constantly wearing out, costly to maintain, are dusty in good weather, and impassably muddy in bad 'weather. About 300 miles out < of 0.000 are now paved. T'.’s is exactly the kind of thing, it is claimed, a bond issue as propos ed avoids. By paying off a certahi amount every year of the issue, it ■ is shown, interest charges ‘are saved, r > and th entire cost of paving is paid for in less than thirty years, by the present generation. The genera tions will, it is claimed, have a gift that with a nominal maintainaneo will last forever; in other words, • the present generation will have the use of roads, and the enormous savings and benefits from them, whiie they are paying for them.

CLAIM MANILA LIES WITHIN QUAKE BELT MANILA, P. I. July 11.—That Manila may at almost any time be visi,ted by an earthquake such as de stroyed Yokohama last September is the warning given -by Father Roque Ruano, professor of phys es .md • engineering in the University of Santo Tomas, who hah just re*- turned from a visit of several aiontus in Japan where he stJuii <! che effect of earthquakes in- that country. ‘The Philippines lie in the same seismic zone as does the earthquake .•cgion of Japan, and conditions ii. Manila are analogous in many re spects to those found in Yokohama.” said Father Ruano. “The same sub soil that is found in Yokohama is fjund here and building construction ,s practically identical. The professor recommends that a committee of geologists and, sei:.ii? be ar-fiehte d to siu£y ».,• ns of the ! Philio pineßimd maWa report in order to anproes upon the people the n-ces, sity of preparing,- as far pcssibi for a severe quake at any time. PHOTO PLAY TEACHES LIP-READING ART Lip reading is becoming a pop ular study with many who have deaf friends. School pupils find the study of lip reading not only interesting but often useful in conveying a message across the room. Perhaps the art would not have developed to the extent it has bad it not been for the motion pic tures. Tile silent drama has made every person who visits motion pic ture theaters deaf so far as the spe< ch of che characters upon the screen is concerned. Subconsciously the spectator, in watching the lip movements of the characters, distinguishes some of the words of the speaker. In form er <iays the lip reading and the titles frequently would conflict and this led to the present care in making spoken words conform with printed sub-titles. J. Stewart Blackton was one of the first defectors to realize that words spoken in the studio were transmitted on the screen by rnpaus f vision. He experimented in many of his pictures with this fas- phenomena until able to produce whole scenes in which a npokon title was not needed. 'Th action and lip reading conveyed the words sy exactly that there remain ed no diJubt in the mind of a per son as to what was being said. In “On the Banks of the Wa bash,” a Vitagraph special produc tion suggested tyy Paul Dresser’s fa mous song of the same name,which will be shown at the Rylander Theater on Saturday. Mr. Black mon lias the members of his com pany’sing a popular jazz song and the words are so carefully enun ciated that there is no doubt as to wind is being sung. In other parte' ci’ the production whole sentences may be read with case from the lips of Mary Carr, Burr Mclntosh, James Morrison, Mary MacLayen and Madge Evans. In a Nev. York theater recently a contest was conducted to see how many words could be distinguished by the movement of the lips. A deaf girl was able to distinguish ,1524 words while the most that a person with normal hearing was able to get accurately was 850 differ ent words.
