DEVELOP LOCAL
TALENT ADVISES
LADY GREGORY
'.You must develop your local tal
ent," said Lady Gregory In effect In her lecture on "A Possible American Theatre." given at the Westcott Hotel yesterday afternoon before a large and representative audience which included many club women and members of the Drama League. ; Lady Gregory, one of the foremost women of the world today, poet and dramatist. Is herself an exponent of this dictum Bince the establishment of the Irish National Theatre, in Dublin, and the exploitation of the famous company of Irish Players which has twice toured this country, at one of which times It appeared in Richmond, la , a direct result of her pronouncement. Write About Life. , "Write about the things at your door," says this famous writer and b doing this, in substance, since she devoted her genius to writing of her own people and their life, she has attained imperishable literary celebrity and placed the stamp of permanency upon the Irish theatre movement. That this country could evolve a distinctive national theatre despite its lack of entirely distinct types through the amalgamation of many opposing
racial temperaments, was the statement made by Lady Gregory, who illustrated her point with an effective figure Saying that this should be done through localities but that the result would be as ingenuious as that done by the separate fingers of 'one hand. "Bach community or state should have its own theatre and its own company .drawn from its own people," said the speaker, who went on to show how the provincial companies could - be graduated to the capitals of the various states and then to the nation's capital which Lady Gregory referred to as "New York or wherever it may be." and that the various centres could b recruited from one another. ; Would Develop Dramatists. This would, also, result in the development of local dramatists who would draw from local material for their subject matter and thus the life and soul of a nation wbuld be crystallized in the greatness of all the arts, that of the drama, which, in its essence reflects life as it is. Thus had the Irish National Theatre been established and through attention to the exploitation of insularity had attained universality. Since, as the speaker pointed out, life is not made up of isolated groups but is a unit. Incidentally Lady Gregory referred to a play of her. own, "The Work House Ward," as an example of localism which had been refused presentation on account of this supposed quality but which had been since translated into German and French. Lady Gregory punctuated her address with wit and humor being a capital raconteur and drawing out an
TABLE SHOWS 5 3 -MILE INCREASE IN SYSTEM OF COUNTY HIGHWAYS
For the last two years Wayne county has had 240 miles of county free turnpikes and macadam roads.' In the last few months this has been increased by fifty-three miles. This is shown by a table prepared by Auditor Bowman. The number of miles of county road In each township at present follows: -.- -
Township No. Miles
13 23 38 5-8 14 16
Abington
Boston ..... Center ...... Clay Dalton
Franklin 19 1-2 Greene 19 Harrison 13 Jackson - 6 3-4 Jefferson 15 - New Garden 10 Perry 16 9-10 Washington 29 Wayne . ... 48 3 8 Webster . 111-4
Total 293.40 Mr. Bowman said there are 740 miles of the road in the county, of which
overwhelming testimonial from the audience at the close of the lecture. William Dudley Foulke introduced the speaker with a reference to her achievements in literature and the theatrical world.
500 miles has been under the township system. The mileage of township road is now 446.6. The cost per mile for maintenance of township roads in 1913 was $95. In 1914 It increased to $100. The coat Id 1914 for the county roads was $117, including a total expenditure of $2,119. 43 for new equipment and machinery which being deducted would bring the cost per mile to about $99. Before the road work is fairly under way, enough roads will have been taken over to the county system to bring the mileage to more than three hundred, and the township road mileage to under 440. Wayne county having been far below the average of other counties of the size, this will bring it in better standing in the state. Superintendent Jones expects to use $100 a mile on the roads this year. They are in excellent condition now and will be kept up during the summer and placed in such shape that in the next few years the expense will decrease per mile. In several of the townships the road tax for township' roads will be slightly decreased.' Townships having few miles of county road are contributing to the support of county roads in other townships where the mileage is large, the auditor said. Among these arc Jackson, New Garden, Webster, Clay and Harrison.

You Should Have Your Spring Corset Scientifically Fitted Too many women fail to comprehend the true importance of proper fitting and adjustment of the corset. They merely look upon the corset as an aid in securing certain fashionable figure lines as a mere foundation to their outer garments. Nemo Corsets Have a Greater Purpose j ?yi Than Simply Developing Style Lines. K - They are designed to protect and safeguard the health: to provide for a normal afld shapely development of the figure; they have special devices for. reducing fleshy portions and supporting the abdomen; they provide for the free expansion of the diaphragm, and permit the unstrained movement of every muscle. But they must be properly fitted. Our corsetieres are schooled in the scientific fitting of these splendid corsets. They will adjust your new spring "Nemo" so that its true intention and purpose will be realized. All the new Nemo Models here at $3.00 to $5.00
