Uses to Which Old
Things May Be Put

great deal has been said and written
about the waste and extravaganza of the
American people. But there is another
side to the story which might be told by
the secondhand men and others of their
ilk
For instance. a man stops in a store TO
purchase a new hat. He selects one to his
taste and decides to wear it.
Shall we send your old one sir?" asks
the obliglng clerk.
mo you needn't bother" says the owner
of the new hat you can just throw 4
away
The clerk does nothing Of the sort. lie
turns it over to the secondhand man. who
blocks and otherwise furnishes up the
piece Of headgear and then it Is ready
to do perhaps even longer term Of ser.
vice for another owner.
SO It Is with shoes man often-a wo
man never-will go into a shoe shop, bu,
new footgear and leave the old. Like oil,
hats, these are sold to the secondhand
dealer and made as good as new by hin
Tor somebody else.
Il is really wonderful what is done VIII
old corks. Wherever possible smaller
ones are shaped out Of them and ever,
tiny scrap is saved and in turn is utilized
in making life preservers.
Tin cans. no matter how old and bat
tered, are converted into steel: old bottle.
are reclaimed and cleansed and made to d,
duty time and again; old rags are con
verted into clean white paper and so 6
gces-one is constantly melting old friends
in new guise.

Many old railroaders stin remember
Edward Markstone. a former resident
Of this city. but now of Philadelphia.
lie came to Wilmington several days
ago to attend the funeral Of a departed
friend.
Hale and hearty at the ripe age OF a..
the old man still seems as young as the
rest OF them. He began as a railroader
when railroading was practically in its
infancy in wilmington. He remembers
when there was wagon road running
alongside of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Many are the stories he tells Of those
early days.
Guarded Lincoln.
Edward Markstone was one Of the
two guards on the sleeping car which
took Lincoln on his memorial ride
from Philadelphia to Washington at
the outbreak Of the civil war. Though
he only accompanied the train to Balti-
more the excitement and memory Of
the ride remains vividly with him yet.
The story OF that run had best be told
In his own words
eve had heard that the President
had started for Washington by way OF
Harrisburg. but il later became whis-
pcred about among the men In author
ity about the station that the president
fan train was returning TO Philadelphia.
No definite knowledge OF this could be
gained. however. but when the mid

any good. he went just as fast as ever.
He was a runner alright.

GETTING READY
TO ENTERTAIN
THE PUBLIC
Managers of Parks Ar
ranging to Cater TO Pub
lie this Summer

Wilmington will be entertained dur
ing the coming summer better than
ever before in its history. Already
the managers of the parks about the
city are busily engaged in securing at
fractions for their patrons during the
heated term. and it is said there will
be some unusually good things to be
seen at both shellpot and Brandywine
Springs.
At the latter place many improve
ments will be made and additions to
attractions already there viii be nu-
merous.
This season more than ever this park
will be sought after by plcnickers from
other cities. It is understood many are
already making arrangements to sc
there. The crowds viii be handled
much easier this year on account OF
the trolley loop. The cars will not have
10 have the seats shifted but viii make
a circuit around the park.
At Shellpot Park everything win be
frightened with a fresh coat Of paint
and the vaudeville entertainments
which proved such a drawing card last
summer, will probably be continued
In addition to this many other attrac-
tions will go on.
While the park managers are prepar.
ing for their campaigns, the steam.
boat people are not lying idle. Ar.
rangements are being made for excur-
sions and moonlights up and down th'
river From present indications tn,
demand is going to be in excess Of any
previous year. Many of the societies
and clubs are already making arrange
ments, so they may have the datei
they want.
The parks will not make a forma
opening before Decoration Day. it &
thought, but long before that time peo
pie will be going out. 1t is because tn
nights are cool during May that tn
places are not opened sooner.
The first crowds of the year in tn
parks are generally in May week,
when the schools are closed and picnic
are In order.

SCHEME TO HAVE OUR
FIRE LADDIEs PARADE
Several Members of Council
Favor Such a Public
Inspection

The semi-ah hnual re inspection made
by the fire committee Of City Council
ON Monday and Tuesday evenings,
showed that every company in the city
is in excellent condition. That this is
true is not disputed, but the public has
been obliged TO hear OF this inspection
through the newspapers so many times
that the subject is becoming monoton-
Gus.
What the taxpayers want" said a
well-known citizen this r,prnlng, 'is a
public inspection. 1 would suggest that
well paved and broad thoroughfare De
selected in which to hold it.
The inspection should be held in the
afternoon. It would attract a large
number OF people and would in conse-
quence be a Success. A blue ribbon
should be given to the company turning
out the best equipage. The re COM
mttee of City Council could act as
judges and award the prize. This GUS
tom would revive interest In the de-
partment and would cause much rivalry
between the various companies"
Several Councilmen have expressed
themselves in favor Of the move. The
officials OF the Fire Department also
look with favor on the project.
An effort will probably be made to
have the next inspection take place so
that the public can take part in it.
II only remains for the fire commit
tee of Council TO order the thing done.
The public will appreciate such a move.

FEW WILL CHANGE
HOMES ON MARCH IS

DWELLINGS in Wilmington are so
scarce that houslSecpors who desire 90
move are afraid to give up their pres-
ent houses and as consequence there
promises. TO be very little moving on
March. 25 compared to what there gem
orally IS az that time OF the year
Real estate agents an over the city
say they have never received so few
notices from tenants who propose to
move since they have been in business
1t is almost impossible. they say TO get
a desirable dwelling IN any section OK
the city. and on this account the ten
ants will not give up the houses where
they have been living for fear another
house cannot be secured.

deal to do with this state of affairs.

Chicken Raising Profta-

Chicken raising has become a sort

In many cases it also proves very
profitable and It would probably sur
prise the average citizen il they knew
what an Immense profit is made from
several hundred, chickens during a

Some years ago there were few who
could be termed as chicken fanciers
in the city but recently a number of
others have gone into the business on

The work on hundreds of dwellings
which were to be completed this month
has been delayed so long by the bad
weather that they viii not be ready
for occupants probably before the lat
ter part Of April.
Many families had arranged to take
these new houses. but knowing they
are not near completed, refuse to give
up their present homes. The great ma
iority of the dwellings IN course of
erection are In the vicinity OF the new
railroad shops.
What Is troubling the tenants most
OF an Is the fact that the scarcity OF
houses has caused an increase i'm rents.
There are few renters who have not re-
celved notice OF an increase Of from 81
