Mr. Rob- inson said he would rather stay in the newspaper business than hold any of- fice. novléd The cosy Breed theater was crowded last evening to the doors with a pre- holiday audience that was most ap- preciative of the many fine pictures shown for their pleasure, among them being the great historical picture en- titled Custer's Last Battle, or On the Little Big Horn. This picture is a masterpiece in mo- tion picturz photography, reveling in superb views of the far west, numerous glimpses of the genuine Sioux Indians, many of whom were members of the original hostfle band that annihiliated Custer and his brave little squad, also views of the haunts of the red men during their quiet moments as well as during their moments of clever strat- egy. The great battle of Custer is one of the best scenes of the picture, and shows the real treachery of the Sioux, and how they overcome an enemy by mere trickery. Custer is seen to un- wittingly ride into the trap the In- dians have laid for him, where he and his 41 men are captured and their horses stampeded.

In the recent interview with the| Signature of 224 nov2sd Middletown contractor, Mr. Brazos. who built the much discussed and sememm: otherwise cussed stretch of state high- way known to fame as the Berlin road, that gentleman is quoted as saying that the road should have been con- structed of different material and with a special view to making it an auto- mobile speedway. To the average ob- server and innocent bystander this will appear as an (nadvertent admission of just what’s the matter with the ag- grieved and indignant travelers. When the roads of the state are turned into automobile speedways, and other traf- fic is diverted elsewhere, there will be less criticism and less weeping and waliling and snatching out of teeth on the part. of the people 'with the insup- pressible grievance. When the horse- and-wagon traffic is excluded entirely from the state roads; when the $4,500,- 000 provided by state appropriation is yput into a grabbag and deposited where some of the needy and deserving of us “select people” can get at it, and when we have distributed and made avail- able the opportunities for political sleight-of-hand that are among the possibilities embraced 1n the state-wide echeme of road building, then maybe we will hear less of “defective con- struction” and inefficient supervision, and there will be a less obtrusive dis- position on the part of the kid-glove highway bullders to come forward and “seach granny to lap ashes,” or show LEGAL NOTICES.
