Terry has been a successful producer of Uncle Tom’s Cabin for 33 years and this season is no exception to the rule. His production for this season is more than living up to the past reputation of former years, the large company composed of some fifty people, both white and colored, travel in their own specially arranged Pullman cars, and give the performance under a monster waterproof tent, and when the show comes this year, it will be found to be greatly enlarged. Terry’s big production of Harriet Ward Beecher Stowe’s famous slave play will appear for one night only at Syracuse on Friday, June 1. There will be a free street parade at noon. And in the evening at 7 p. m. Terry’s Challenge Concert Band will give a free concert on the principal streets. Doors open at 7:30 and performance begins at 8:00. —o EARS IN THEIR FEET A peculiarity of deaf cats is that they seem to have a very great sense of feeling in their foot-pads. It is almost an impossibility for a heavy animal to approach a deaf cat- from behind without giving it warning, and this may be attributed to the extreme sensitiveness of the cat’s feet recording the slightest tremor of the ground. z i— o— THIS BIRD IS FAT Young albatrosses are so laden with their own fat that one of them may go five months without taking any nourishment, says the American Forestry Magazine. This is likewise true of young penguins and other sea fowl.

MOTOR TRANSPORTATION IS A POPULAR METHOD Indianapolis, May 28. —Figura tively speaking, the greater population of Indiana is on its wheels. Motor cars seem the accepted and popular method of transportation and travel of today. As automotive vehicles increase the demand becomes more and more insistent for adequate all-year highways. In less than two years a great business, that of overland transportation and trucking has come into existence. It is ever being augmented by pleasure travel and in recent months by passenger carriers. Where primary roads are hard surfaced, bus lines are operating and thousands of persons are patronizing this way of transportation. Interest in the state highway system, especially as to road construction, maintenance and condition of highways is now more paramount than at any other season of the year, because the state is engrossed in a road program of considerable magnitude and thousands and thousands of people are spending many hours each day in their motor cars. Due to its geographical location, Indiana is in the pathway of a great volume of transcontinental traffic. The National Road is the highway through the Central states from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and today sees hundreds of resorters traveling to their northern homes after a winter spent in the southland. Governor McCray, members of the state highway commission and the director, recognize the importance of Indiana’s good roads to the motoring public; also that if this state is to make progress as it should industrially and agriculturally, money spent for trunk lines will yield vast returns in prosperity and contentment. To this end the state is committed to a constructive and maintenance program for the next three years that will

advance the interests of every Hoosier in manifold ways. Big business interests recognize the dire importance of state highways and their close connection with the general public. A few days ago one of the big oil companies, the Standard of Indiana, Inc., perfected arrangements with John D. Williams, state highway director, that bub letins on state roads be sent to their three main branches, Indianapolis, Evansville and South Bend. “Daily we have calls for information by the thousand on state roads, for the public is using the state system almost exclusively when traveling to extent through the commonwealth.” said a representative of this oil company. “We propose to take your weekly traffic bulletin and disseminate from three main offices copies to each of our filling stations in the state for it is a service that the public wishes and we desire to extend.” o ALLIES OF INDUSTRY The public utility industry has become so large and public demands so exacting that the industry as a whole has probably the best management of any line of industrial activity, and furnishes service to the consumer on the smallest margin of profit. Public utilities are taking the public into their confidence and asking the people to share with them in ownership of securities and earnings, thus developing the customer-owner idea. To illustrate the magnitude of improvements that are being made in the utility field for the benefit of the public, it is interesting to note the cable that is being laid from Chicago to New York by the Bell Telephone System at a cost of $35,000,000. The storms that rage in the winter will not interfere with this cable. The convenience to the public will be inestimable, but little will the man making a telephone

call realize the amount of money chat was spent to perfect the service rendered him. And this is just one cable from New Cork to Chicago. Electric companies are making similar improvements, and the citizen of today has at his command for a few dollars a month conveniences in his home or office which literally represent billions of dollars of equipment. The very elements themselves have been harnessed and tamed to do the bidding of mankind. E. K. Hall, an authority on public relations in the United States, says: “Public utilities are more than allies oF industry. They are agencies around which and on which modern business and civilization and commerce are built." ’.Give your skin a treat—use Blue Devil Water Softener. 5-11 o IMPUTATION A young man with a pretty but flirtatious fiancee wrote to i supposed rival: “I’ve been told that you have been seen kissing my girl.
