It -is, an inspiring and fascinating tory combining all the thrills and sensa tion of a melodrama, yet is not one of of those impossible ultra-melos. It I is a photodrama of unusual tenacy, of great dramatic interest. "The Almighty Dollar" a story of two sisters orphaned and left alone i to face the ways of the world, affords t excellent opportunities for Frances j Nelson and June Elvidge to co-star . auu appear in a mm togetner to uie best of advantage. Both Miss Nelson and Miss Elvidge were born and bred in St. Paul. Minn.i and this is the fi-st time that two girls from the same city, who are not sisters, are featured in the same picture.

JWK HASTINGS Pittsburgh, Pa.,, Oct. 3 Most of the punting for this year's University of Pittsburgh eleven will fall to Andy Hastings, crack half-back, considered by many critics the most Valuable all- round player ever developed in West ern Pennsylvania, since Ted Coy, full back on the 1914 and 1915 teams, has decided to enter Harvard this year. Hastings is the, best ground gainer on the Pitt squad and is also a star drop kicker and forward passer. From all indications, Hastings will be the busiest man on the eleven this year. Fifty-Firry.

The ex penditure of State funds during this same period increased from about $2, 5Bt),O0O to more than $53,000,600: 'In addition, more than $27,000,000 of local funds was spent under State su pervision in 1915, bringing the . total road . and - bridge -expenditures-, man aged by the State: to $80,514,699 This amount Is greater than the total expenditures for roads and bridges from all sources in 1904. ; 'The growth in importance of the State highway departments has been rapid .

The . falling off in the value of road work performed by statute and con vict labor was from $20,000,000 in 1904 when the total road expendi tures were $80,000,000, to about $15, 000 in 1915 when the total expendi tures had grown to $282,000,000 y This j was,, a reduction from 25 per cent, t of the total in the former year . to legg than 5 per cent. -of -the total in 1915. An increase in the use of . better and more expensive types of roads also is shown by the recently com piled statistics. This development has been due, in large part, to the great increase in automobile traffic. It is estimated that there are now approximately 2 1-2 million .. auto mible8 in use .on, the roads of the country, or .1 car for every mile of road. This present motor traffic is in excess of traffic of all sorts 12 years ago. NOTICE!
