Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, of New York,

unexpected chance to see something

BETTER
ROADS
Pranks of Temperature
Ruin Expensive Roads
Jack Frost and Merry Sunshine are
wrinkling the brows of highway en
gineers and contractors. Their pranks
are ruining expensive hard-surfaced
and paved highways.
During the winter months frost pene
trates deep under the road surface,
freezing and refreezing the subsoil nu
merous times. Then, Just like freezing
water breaks the water pipe, the sub
soil bulges up and cracks the surface
of the highway. Rain and slush seeps
through these cracks, freezes again,
and the process of destruction goes
merrily on.
When spring comes the final touches
are put on the breaking up of the road.
The spring rains rush through the
yawning cracks aud wash away the
subsoil, leaving a hollow shell. The
warm sunshine aids in the destruction,
drying the surface and making It brit
tle. It is no time then until the road
crumbles away under the heavy traffic
impacts.
Highway engineers of a big rubber
concern travel and transport bureau
declare that rapidly-increasing high
way travel is focusing the attention of
road-building experts to this underlying
cause of highway destruction. They
say that governmental and private
agencies have, In the past ten years,
lost sight of adequate subgrade soil
treatment In their eagerness to produce
hard, wear-resisting surfaces for high
ways.
Men prominent in highway develop
ment, say the bureau’s experts, now
recognize the urgent need of spending
the necessary time and money to build
proper road foundations and drainages
before expensive stretches of highway
are constructed. Searching study and
analysis of subsoils will figure more
prominently In future road-building
than any other phase of the work, they
say.
More Autos Registered
Increase Highway Fund
In 1922 motor vehicle registrations
more than maintained the rate of
rapid increase which has caused the
total registration to grow from 3,500,-
000 In 1916 to 12,238,375 motor cars
and trucks at the end of 1922, accord
ing to the bureau of public roads. Last
year the increase amounted to 1,775,-
080 registrations, as compared with an
average yearly rate of approximately
1,390,000 for the preceding five years.
The table issued by the bureau gives
registrations by states which total as
follows for the whole United States:
Private passenger cars 10,890,112
Taxicabs, busses, and cars
for hire 69,459
Motor trucks and commercial
cars 1,278,804
Trailers 29,328
Motorcycles 182,714
A comparison of the truck registra
tion figures with those for the preced
ing year shows an increase of 30 per
cent, indicating that this phase of
highway transport is undergoing rapid
development. The Increase In truck
registration Is not confined to indus
trial sections. Such agricultural states
as Virginia, Indiana and Florida show
increases of 33 per cent, 30 per cent
and 29 per cent respectively, which
seems to indicate that many farmers
are changing their method of hauling
as a result of road improvement.
The total gross registration revenue
amounted to 152,047,823, of which
$117,093,116 was applied to road work
under the supervision of the state
highway departments. Eighteen states
taxed gasoline, deriving a revenue of
$11,923,442, not all of the states re
porting for a full twelve-month period.
Of this amount, $6,474,178 was spent
under the supervision of the state
highway departments.
Spanish Trail Will Be
Costly to Construct
The old Spanish Trail, a national
highway from Jacksonville, Fla., to Los
Angeles, Cal., along the Gulf coast and
through the territory immediately
north of the Mexican border, is des
tined to include several sections of
road the equal of which will not be
found in the United States. It is esti
mated that a road through the marshes
strong enough to withstand any gulf
storm and to bear the weight of artil
lery would cost from $300,000 to $400,•
000 a mile.
Motor Cars Responsible
for Good Road Building
The great demand for motorcars
that is responsible for many automo
bile factories working day and night
is attributed in a measure to the work
accomplished by good roads advocates
during the past few years, hi turn
the automobile itself is accountable
for many good roads movements. The
two are closely linked.
“MASTERS
OF MEN”
by MORGAN ROBERTSON
The greatest «tary of the see ever
screened!
A thrilling film story of he-men
whose veins run hot with red fighting
blood 1
A blunt, vigorous yarn of a boy’s
fight upward against overwhelming
odds, where fight means a hard fist
and prime muscle, high courage and
a ready wallop!
Shanghaied! Drugged by crimps
and flung insensible into the hell hole
forward, where sweating, brow-beaten
men live like beasts scourged to their
tasks with curses and belaying pin.
The sea! The flavor of salt in the
nostrils; the odor of pitch in the air,
the snapping of wind-swept canvas
crackling like a machine gun; the
creaking, singing wood straining as
she rides the high waves! All magic
and lure of adventure, the Spanish
Main and sailormen!
Love! A timid boy’s unspoken
dream of his heart’s desire; a girl too
old-fashioned to offer love unbidden;
a lad’s sacrifice of youth’s dearest pos
session—honor—to protect her from
the shame of another’s crime; the
confusion of bitter misunderstandings
that threaten life-long broken hearts I
Uncle Sam’s bluejackets! The
fighting men of the greatest nation in
the world, and what they think and
how they live; their loyalty and cheer
and youth, eternal, living, fighting
youth! The careless devil-may-care
“gob,” incorrigible, loyal; inpudent
and loveable!
Romance! The sea spells romance.
Red sunsets turn green waves to
crashing mountains of blood; noon
suns spread gold upon the bosom of
the sea, gold that beckons and calla
to youth to gather its riches; never
ending mirages of golden bowls at
rainbows’ ends. And, the sea gives no
riches; only character and manhood,
bitterly squeezed out of its cold, hard
business.
Wholesome, clean, healthy! A
boy’s life of adventure, free from
tawdry conflicts and sex illusions,
based on fact gathered by one who
served among men, who loved men,
who admired men and who wished
young American to so live that he
might become a man! The trash of
silly, social temptations has no place
in this screen story of a boy who be
came the master of the man.
Here is a story of the making of
men; men who acted and argued later.
Shifty-footed men, with a right and
left punch and a keen eye and a high
sense of honor and guts to go the limit!
Dick Halpin is the lad you wanted
to be; and I wanted to be! He’s the
fellow we dreamed of, whose fighting
courage we envied. He’s the hoy that
assumed arother’s petty crime and
ran away to sea to live it down, that
the girl he loved might not be shamed
and humiliated by the revelation of
her brother’s weakness. He’s the fel
low you and I used to talk about;
that lad of strength and honor we
built with boyish imaginations up in
the haymow, or while idling with a
home-made fishing rod down by the
creek. He’s your kind and my kind
and because we had fathers and
mothers to make our way easier we
never managed to be him; but we
wanted to and we’ll live our dreams
again with Dick Halpin in this vivid liv
ing motion picture, “Masters of Men.”
A master of men wrote this great
sea tale. A man whose life was as
hard as the diamonds he cut and who
never wrote a line until he had lived
beyond an average man’s age; a man
who took a beating at the hands of a
brutal second mate with a smile, and
who administered a beating with
equal cheerfulness; a man who knew
the sea and a sailorman’s life; who
criticized Kipling rightfully and who
wrote his first sea tale to prove that
a man who knew the sea could write
a better story of the sea; a man who
earnea little by his pen ana who
starved while he wrote; the greatest
writer of sea stories in all literature.
Morgan Robertson, a master of
men, wrote the last word in thrilling
sea stories when he wrote “Masters
of Men ”
