C. Sproul. of Delaware, i has been giving the subject of State Highways much thought, more espe cially along the lines of providing the revenues necessary to carry on the work of highway maintenance and improvement. "I have not had an opportunity to get the views of the Governor on road legislation, ,v said Senator Sproul. "1 have some thoughts of my own on the subject, but so far they are just thoughts. In my opinion one of the tlrst things to be determined is where the money is to come from since the road bond issue of $50,000,000 has been defeated. "There has been some discussion' of placing a tax of a cent a gallon on gasoline. This would raise consider able revenue, but I doubt whether it will be necessary to do this. I am strongly of the opinion that it was a mistake to pass the law in 1913 giving all of the money derived from the per sonal property tax to the counties. This has not resulted in the reduc tion of taxes In any county and the collections have not been made so closely as they were when the State had charge. "I have been thinking it would be well to repeal this law and go back to the old system. The money might be divided three-fifths to the coun ties and two-llfths to the State, but probably a better plan would be to make the division even. In 1913 the personal property tax collections amounted to $5,781,541.08. If the State were to get hall' of this, it would amount to upwards of $3,000,- 000 a year, and would in a great measure solve the problem of making up the revenues we are now losing be cause of the depression. "Another way the State could save money would be in changing the law which now requires the common wealth to pay the expenses of the pri mary elections. We are appropriat ing about $1,000,000 for this. 1 have been thinking the cost of the primar ies should be borne by the counties. If this is done we will have $1,000,000 available for other purposes. This and the change made in the personal property tax would practically solve the question of revenues, and give the commonwealth plenty of money to take care of the necessary things'" Senator Sproul was reminded that there has been some talk of the prob ability of changing the law so that a commission of three would supplant the high commissioner. "I am not in favor of a commission," said the Sen ator. "It Is much better to have one head of the department and hold him responsible for the work." The last Legislature added about 80 t new road routes to the Sproul high way act with a mileage of 1,200 miles. These routes are to become a part of the State highway system on June 1. 1915. Kroin that time forth the 1,200 miles of road would have to he main tained at the sole expense of the State. The estimated annual cost would be $210,000. Senator Sproul says he is thinking seriously of advocating the repeal of the law creating these extra routes. He believes it would be possi ble to pass the measure. This w>ould reduce the mileage, of the State high ways to about 8,800 miles. Commissioner E. M. Bigelow of the Highway Department doubts the ad visability of wiping out the routes cre ated in 1913, and believes difficulty will be experienced In getting the in terested legislators to vote for the re peal. The routes are located In all sections of the State. Mr. Bigeiow figures the needs of the Highway Department for the next two years at about $9,000,000. Of this $3,- 000,000 a year would be spent In maintenance and resurfacing ma cadam roads. His idea is to put the maintenance depurtment to work at .the earliest possible time and get (every mile of highway in good shape] j with the opening of Spring and keep it in that condition. About $3,000,000 | jof the $9,000,000 appropriation will I come from the automobile licenses, the remainder to be furnished from the revenues of the State. —Senator Raymond K. Smith of the Crawford-Mercer district, and Representative William E. Metzen bacher, of Crawford, yesterday con ferred with Governor Brumbaugh and submitted to him the following rec ommendations relative to the State highway system: A tax of one mill upon corporate property to be used for road purposes.

'• Their songs include "The Five Kif- , teen," which we have heard before, but not as Miss Heather sings it. Then there's another number, called "The Same Old Dress That Mother Used to Wear." In this song Miss Heather is a dream in her exquisite Colonial dress of orange and black with a fetching bonnet to match. A distinctly modern and interesting creation Is donned for a song called "He Was So- Nice." This song tells of a flirtation Incident that didn't end quite as nice as it began. Miss Heather sings it in winsome manner. She does a clever Irish song also. The combined efforts of this duo is a treat indeed.—Advertisement.

FEW IMPORTANT CHANGES New York, Feb. 4.—Few important changes in the football rules are ex pected to be made when the committee meets here to-morrow. One of the principal abuses last year was the frequent use of substi tutes to carry messages from the coaches to the captain on the field, a practice in direct violation of the spirit of the game. To avoid the prom inence of the coaches the rule-makers banished thein from the side lines last season. A more drastic rule may be passed. The numbering of players has the support of several of the best known men in the game and the adoption of the practice is being urged on the committee. The members of the committee are E. K. Mall, Dartsmouth, chairman; Walter Camp. Yale, secretary; Dr. J. A. Babbitt, Haverford; Dr. Carl Wil liams, Pennsylvania; Percy Haughton, Harvard; Paul Dashiel, Annapolis; Harris G.
