MAYFIELD URGES 600D ROADS WORK Statesmen Can Give Time to Nothing Better, Says Texas Senator. 8y the Associated Press.

Mayfield, United States Senator from Texas, at the United States Good Roads Convention today. J. J. Mansfield, Representative from Pexas, erted that it is not a ques- tion of “whether we want to expend large sums for road construction and maintenance. Conditions have forced It upon us and there is no way to avoid jt.” “There is every justification for the Cullest measure of Federal aid for good roads,” said Senator Mayfield. “Our Government has alded the banks and the railroads. It has legislated pro- tective tariffs for indust It has ex- pended vast amounts of the people’s money for public buildings in cities and towns. 1 de not complain of these hings as long as they are construce ive, but I do insist that it is now the iuty of the Federal Government to foster the best and most enduring way construction, in order to bet- ter the condition particularly of the I who produce so vast a part tion’s wealth.” “PIRATES OF PENZANCE” CHARMS LARGE AUDIENCE Choir Girls and Boys to Repeat Production at Immaculate Conception.

The campaign for preservation of flowering dogwood will be carried into colored as well as white schools of the District, it was announced today P. ticker, president of the Wild- flower Preservation Soclety.

The dogwood is now in full bloom, according to Mr. Ricker, who has been keeping close watch on trees in the vicinity. The blooms are largze and beautiful, he says, and are at- tracting much attention from the pub- lic.

The Child and the Piano E very child loves music—and could it remember the early period of sts life— st would know that many of the happiest years were filled with song and story. There comes a day, alas! tao frequently, when music is all but forgotten! It is tossed aside for other matters which seem more important. The child has grown nto young man or womanhood, the duties that have come with $n- crease of years have become a mecessity—time, patience, environment, and often the ‘means for study and practice are lacking—and what might have been (if properly developed) a bubbling “well-spring” from which to draw happiness and pleasure—comfort and solace—courage and inspiration—has turned snto a waste of disappointment and regret! The Ability to Play the Piano— —be it ever so le, is a priceless accomplishment, the truth of which is more appreciated -by those who cannot than by those who do play!
