STATE IN MOVE FOR STONE AND GRAVEL ROADS Hard-Surface Materials Not in Fav t for Secondary Aoutes. Engineers of thj State highway department have completed drafting preliminary plans and specifications for building gravel and stone roads iu Indiana. These were forwarded today to the district engineer of the bureau of roads, Chicago, for approval. This step, declares Lawrence Lyons, director, marks the beginning of what -will likely develop into an extensive movement to give this State more stone and gravel roads in preference to roads of hard surface type. Governor Warren T. McCray has declared in favor of stone and gravel in road construction whore feasible rather than concrete, bituminous and brick, especially on secondary roads. This policy,, Mr. Lyons ;.nys, the commission has adopted. Naturally, in the State road system the prinipal trunk lines will be hard-surfaced for neither gravel nor stone will wi the twenty-ton traffic to which tuese chic? road arteries are subject. he explained. e For a time there was some question if Federal aid money was obtainable to build stone and gravel roads, but this problem <ras ironed ont satisfactorily and the cor.fiiission authorized that government aid is forthcoming on secondary mads built of gravel and stone the same as on trunk lines constructed of brick and concrete. The plans and specifications Just completed for secondary routes estimate where gravel ami stone are used they may be constructed for SIO,OOO to $20.000 a mile depending upon the amount of grading and structures. Tlnns also specify that stone and gravel roads shall have a netal spread of eighteen feet on the roadway. The commission will endeavor to secure a fifty-foot right of waj between properly lines because in the future traffic may be doubled or trebled necessitating widening the road bed, Mr. Lyons says.

CONSIDERATION FOR MEN ASKED Legion Estimates 600,000 exSoldiers Unemployed. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Sept. 20—Estimating the number of unemployed ex-service men more than 600,000 the American Legion has made a direct appeal to the employers of the United States “to loosen tbeir pursa strings, lengthen their vision and make jobs for the men who kept American business saf6 from a German indemnity." According to figures compiled by officers of the legion as the result of careful survey of conditions in sixteen States. Pennsylvania with 150,000 World War veterans out of work leads the list of States in unemployed ex-service men. More than 100.000 are unemployed in New York; 35,000 in Illinois. 30.000 in Massachusetts, 10.000 in Minnesota, 7.500 in Washington State. 2.000 in Arizona and from 5.000 to 20.000 in the remaining States under survey. The situation the legion's investigators find are such that only slight relief is being afforded by veterans' laws in some States and the frantic efforts being made by legion posts to assist the men out of work.— ■Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

She tried several medicines without finding relief. Finally she tried Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and in this letter tells what’t did for her.

CARLE GROWETH NOT A NEW BLADE OF HAIR Jane Lee Is the Clown of the Family—Three Dance Teams at Lyric

Bad news. ’Tis true —Richard Carle has produced nary anew hair on his head since last seen here. Carle spares not his feelings, but tells the audience assembled for that jolly festival of everything called "The Broadway Whirl," that it is not the lack of hair which makes hi head look so bald but that he has a '’Bong face." Carle this season again comments on the “jolly disposition" of the bootleggers. He is kept busy during most of the show. Richard Crle is the best dry wit distributor on the stage today. He is at his best during the “condensed comic opera scene,” with Blanche Ring, and in the “Getting a Passport” act. Here Carle is assisted by Charle Winninger. Miss Ring, Winona Winter and .Tay Gould. This net weighs a ton in real fun. It -was noticed last night that Blanche Ring was in much better voice than last season, and she had more pep and dash than any girl in the chorus. And you

Ton guessed right—the “long face," not bald head, belongs to Richard Carle who pokes fun at himself in “The Broadrecall that Miss Ring is not so frightfully young. You rather guess at that when she sings her great success, “Rings on My Fingers and Bells on My Toes.” The audience last night nearly tore down the house when she started that good old number. Miss Ring appears to have decided that she will never be a “has been." She is a marvel when it comes to keeping young, and I will say, really beautiful. Mr. Winniger again has his funny horn stunt, while his wife, Blanche Ring, does some oriental movements and a warble or two. They stopped proceedings. Winninger at times stoops to the old-fash-ioned slap stick stuff by taking a fall or two and knocking out some of Ad Mil. ler's perfectly good footlights. But the audience liked the stunt a hundred pel cent last night. Jay Gould is present again with his dancing feet. The best of his numbers have been retained from last season and some new ones added. Nina Penn, if I

am correct, was not with the show last spring. She is a cute little dancer and very pretty. Masson and two keen hoofers, are included among the dancers. The chorus is still good looking and they have as much pep as any Cohan chorus that I have ever seen. Last, but not least, Winona Winter, shs with the pretty hair, and lovely voice, is one of the members of this five-star aggregation. Her work is nearly the same as last season, but that does not interfere with her success. This I can guarantee. Tou will not go to sleep nor knit during this show. The girls come out into the audience and ask you to “hook ’em up the back" — meaning that they want you to button up their dresses. One bald headed man near me balked at the Job but another married man, who was by himself, accommodated the lady in question. “The Broadway Whirl” is still a good show —and a mighty good one as the modern revue stuff runs. I enjoyed it

of the party. Jane is the one who wears the cute little pink dress. She starts i out like a little clown and appears to be perfectly at heme on the stage. 7'hc youngsters do not chatter kid talk, but , put over some hot shots with ns much : understanding as their elders. They are I appearing in a sketch which they call, “The New Director.” It gives one an impression that the director in real life might have a “tumble” time directing j these children. Little Jane is called upon to "dive” into a jar of jam and she smears the stuff over her face. She walks to the footlights and tells the audience that “we actresses suffer so much.” The best part of the stunt is when the director puts on a death scene, during which Katherine tiles. He then orders Jane to turn loose “real drama tears” and cute little Jane turns on the water-works. They sure be real tears. Am sure you have loved the Lee kids on the movie screen and you will enjoy the chance to see them in person at Keith's ibis week. MiUiceat Mower, wlio # is billed as of sering a “Spirit of Melody,” attempts a vt ry bold thing. She accompanies a record which tdie famous Gaili Curci had made. Miss Mower has a voice of remarkable range and her high lark-like notes are true and clear. The audience enjoyed the Curei-Mower exhibition so well that they called Miss Mower hack to receive some more applause after the next act was flashed. Some genuine merit in tills act. Vaughn Comfort contributes another singing act. Mr. Comfort Is a tenor who chooses wisely his song pro- | gram. J. Francis Dooley and Corinne Sales ! are on view this week with their new J version of “Will Yer Jim.” Dooley and Sales are recognized entertainers who de J liver the real goods along extreme “nut" lines.

Clayton White and company, (the pro ! gram Is not generous enough to give the j names of the two women appearing In j the sketch,) has a ready made laugh get j ting sketch called, “Cherie.” The object ! of the sketch and the work of Mr. White J Is to make one laugh and both are highly successful. The woman who is referred ; to as Cherie, although her name is net j given on the program, puts over a , snappy French song, which tied up the act. “Cherie" Is a sure laugh getter.

24*/2 Million Dollars Invested by Employes of Swift & Company More than 21,000 employes of Swift & Company own or are paying for shares in the business. These men and women have attested their faith in the integrity and good will of the company by investing their savings in the business. Their holdings represent a total of nearly 250,000 shares, the par value (SIOO a share) of which is more than $24,500,000. These 21,000 represent more than one-third of our average number of employes 1 One man out of every three, in plant, office, and branch house, from the handworkei on the floor to the brain worker at the desk; working with us as well as for us, devoting himself to his own business while devoting himself to ours; promoting his own interests in every motion or moment saved, in every product improved or maintained at perfection, in every service rendered through prompt,thorough, effective distribution of products. This interested, eager group of fellow partners working with us for the good of Swift & Company and the public which we serve, constitutes one-half of the ownership of Swift & Company in point of numbers, and nearly one-sixth in point of shares outstanding.

floes really creditable playing at the piano and the two men fair dancing. They try a little singing- in addition without much success. Mahoney and Cecile have a patter and sohg and dance act known as “At the Bench.” Cecile's dancing is excellent and Mahoney gets over some comedy songs and good dancing. The third act which includes dancing as well and songs and patter is that of Joslyn and Turner. Billed as the headliner was the act “Yachting,” which seemed to be appreciated by the audience. was that of five instrumentalists who Interspersed comedy with their playing. A saxophone number stopped the show. Sherman, Van and Human entertain with some close harmony and some singing that could not exactly be called harmony. They got away with It in good shape. The other acts were the Uyeda Japs, clover Jugglers, and Sands Mack Company, pantomimists. "WHIRL OF MIRTH” WHIRLS AT THE FARR. Ert C. Hunt and Abe Gore, the comedians with “The Whirl of Mirth," at the Bark this week, appear to be the two winners of the show, although Opal Wilson and Flo Carter carry off their share of the applause. This show depends a great deal upon the comedians, and this policy is safe to follow when a show possesses comedians ,of sufficient strength and originality to carry the show on their own shoulders. That is true in this case. The show is divided into two acts—

In the second act the song list includes “Nobody's Baby," “Cherie" and “Sweethearts.” In this act Flo Carter does an eccentric act. The second part of the show is labeled “Help Yourself,” which is produced un der the direction of Mr. Hunt. The first act is named “Mephisto's Revue of 1921.” The show opens with “Mephisto's so-
