The death of Agnes Booth recalls to
old-time theater-goers the days when
the American star achieved her
triumphs by hard work, earnest devo-
ton to her profession and u%ncomplain-

transcontinental j~ourneyings with few
modern comforts. Agnes Booth was
famous, and her name was a household
word, before the current system of
managerial creation of a star out of
every pretty girl in her teens was per-
-fected. She carried fame into other
lands as we'll, and detracted nothing
from the histrionic reputation Of the

ried. Though an Australian by birth,
she will be ranked as an American

finger toward the girls face, but she drew
back.

tact.

most too good to be real
Several witnesses including Policeman
Deeper, testified that Annie had behaved
very badly. They said she had an awful
temper; that she tried to spit at one girl,
made a dash" for another, insisted that
the policeman was a bum and demanded
that he arrest her If he dared.
Annie, on the other hand, said she was
provoked because the proprietor Of the
place had called names and told her she
was a dirty striker and without anything
to eat"
The girl was indignant over the mag

said she thought 1t a piece of "chutzpeh,'

What will you take for a half interest

suddenly.
"One thousand dollars, sir"
""Then let us telk is over"
Together they adjourned to a neighborlng

on every essential of an ambitious partner

Within another week the young man was
himself a flourishing merchant.

EARLY STEET
WELL PAVED
Tarvia Process Used on Thor
oughfare By the Street
Department.
CURB LINES sTRAIGHTENED

The construction of the new paving
on Early street by the towns street
department. is about two-thirds com
pleted and the section of the street
between Mills street and Atno avenue
has been thrown open to traffic. The
work is being done under the direction
Of Street Commissioned Howard j.
Cole and will be one Of the big i'm
proyements Of the year in Morristown.
The first part Of the work was the
resetting Of the curb stones on both
sides of the street for its entire length.
The old curb line was very irregular,
caused by the many shade trees set
ting close to the curb and throwing
them out of line in the growthof the
trees. The curbs are all ia and the
department is now placing at the pri-
vate driveways curved curbing OF con-
crete it being found that the concrete
curved pieces could be made at much
lower cost than would be the case If
curved pieces of stone were purchased.
The street with its new and straight
curb line and the curved pieces at the
driyeways presents handsome and
uniform appearance.
When sufficient length of curb had
been set the steam roller was put on
the street and the old road bed picked
up. The good material was used in
improving Mills street from Kenmuir
avenue to Early street, the entire
length Of Harrison street and the hill
on Grant street, and many of the large
holes on the main thoroughfares
through the town were filled up with
the suitable material. The material
under the stone down down to the sub
grade line was used to fill in upper
Harrison street and part was deposited
in the low lot at the corner of early
and Mills street. The material taken
out from near Atno avenue is being
used to grade the proposed connection
between Clinton street and Clinton
place.
When the street is excavated to
within two inches of the true grade
the steam roller is put on and the soil
compressed to subgrade parallel to
the new roads contour. When thor
oughly compressed one and one-half
inch size of trap rock is spread on the
road to a, depth Of five inches and
rolled. When firmly bedded tarvia x
is applied one and one-half gallons to
the square yard.
| This tarvia X is delivered to the work
in barrels and run by gravity into ket-
ties for heating. When thoroughly
heated it is drawn off from the kettle
into huge watering pots holding five
gallons each and sprinkled on the
stone. Each watering pot of tarvia x
will cover about thirty-six square feet
of read. Immediately over the tarvia
| X is spread coat of half-inch trap
rock and it is rolled.
| When firm another coating of tarvia
X is applied, this time more thinly,
one-half gallon to the square yard and
another coating of half-inch trap rock
/. applied and rolled until firm and ther
the road is ready for traffic.
