A brief note from the British gov ernment delivered to Leonid Krussin, the Russian Soviet representative, brings to an end the long corres pondence, beginning with Lord Cur zon’s ultimatum and terminates the dispute between Great Britain and Russia which 'at one time seriously threatened a rupture of the trade agreement between the two countries. The British government, tradition ally opposed to the establishment of a 12-mile limit 'of territorial waters, has indicated willingness to enter an international conference for the dis cussion of such a proposal.

Young "Wise boarded the Paris at New York to see some friends off, became the victim of un controllable slumber, and slept through the clanging of bells and blowing of whistles that accompanied the departure of the lines. Monarchist plots, demands for sev olution to free Germany from the French “yoke,” and bitter resentment against the French reparations atti tude seethe throughout Germany as new reports of fighting are received from the Ruhr. Guerrilla warfare in the Rhineland marks a new stage in the struggle for the valuable coal mines and manufacturing areas of the Ruhr. Sarah Bernhardt’s stage jewels went under hammer at public auction at Paris. While the shining stones that glittered so brilliantly behind the foot lights appeared much less impressive In the pale light of day, the spirit of “the Divine Sarah” hovering over the multitude of prospective purchasers made the sale of complete financial suc cess.

Mr. Thompson's term expired several days ago, and his new commission was delivered to him recently.

The federal trade commission has ordered the Fox Film corporation, of New York, to discontinue the selling or leasing of re-issued motion picture plays under titles other than those used when they are first shown, un less the new and old titles are promi nently indicated in advertising ma terial and on the picture itself. A row over conversion of the Pater son. N. J., Safe Deposit and Trust company into a national bank has brought into the courts here in an un usual suit filed by Wiliam B. Beam, who asked for a mandamus against President Harding to compel him to reopen the case. Court attaches said it had been many years since a pres ident was made a party to any similar proceeding.

The educational film of that title, now tour ing the South on a motor truck and exhibiting in sections where a mo tion picture has never been seen be fore, has not triumphed, however, without threats of the same fate as ac corded the dipping vats in some local' ities. Domestic — Norman Granchas, alleged 17-year old husband of two twlves, who di vided his time as evenly as possible between, was freed at Chicago when wife No. 2, filed suit for annulment.

Department of justice agents at San Francisco, Calif., received word that Carl Jen Drossner, world war hero and international crook, had been captured at Seville, Spain, after years of search and effort.

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 ” ALBERT E.
