city is we'll supplied with garages, which
are large and commodious and well pay
ing.
The city has the auto fever and the
hope is expressed that some day fine
boulevard will he built between that city
and the National Capital. That it is an
enterprising city is illustrated by the
fact that the municipal authorities are
equipped with motor ambulances and
patrol wagons, which fly about the city
regardless of the speed laws. In fact,
Richmond has a more liberal law than
this city. Motorists are permitted to
operate machines at fifteen miles an hour,
and arrests only are made when speeding
is so fast as TO make life and limb dan
gerous They have only few men
mounted on motorcycles to chase the
speed tiends and arrests are infrequent.
The roads through the parks are well
constructed, and Monument avenue is the
main boulevard in the evenings for mo-
florists who indulge in this pleasant pas
time during the evening hours.

There were only two points on the trip
which came in for severe criticism They
were Mount Crawford and Winchester,
where speed traps were set and into which
several unfortunates fell. Thanks is due
to the mayor of Winchester, who through
his Observation-Disclosures several of those on
the run who We're arrested for slightly ex-
ceeding the speed limit unintentionaly
were released. At Mount Crawford stop
watches were in evidence, and as re-
suit the town was strongly censured for
such action by the tourists. The motorists
had some friends who warned them of the
existence of the speed trap, which warn
ing was needed by all. In nearly every
small town the motorists We're urged to
beat it, but there was nothing doing
after the experience at Mount Crawford,
and consequently the residents of those
towns who lined the road and expected
to see a road race down the main street
were sadly disappointed, for they were
not running any chances, although some
of the towns would have permitted it,
Outside Of these two incidents there was
nothing to mar the pleasure of the trip
which was thoroughly enjoyed at every
stage Of the journey. The towns are all

Following considerable anxiety as to
whether or not he would arrive, owing
to the report of his being al In an Ann
Arbor, Mich, hospital Mr.. Seumas
MacManus arrived in the city Monday
evening from Joliet, ILL.,, to fill his en-
gagement with the Twentieth Century
Club, which was entertained at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. w. McCreery.
There was very large attendance of
the club.
The president, Mrs. c. C. Urine, gave
a brief address of welcome, and intro
duced the speaker, who, when asked
later by some one as, to how many
years he had been in America, was
quick to make it understood that he is
still resident of Ireland, Donegal
county. Mr.. MacManus has been in
this country since last September, fill
ing numerous lecture engagements. He
is an entertaining speaker, with all the
wit and charm of the cultured Irish
story teller. His address was upon the
subject of Irish Folk Lore and Fairy
Tales He introduced his subject by
speaking of the fondness of the Irish
for fairies, and explaining their be-
lief as to how the fairies came to exist.
The legend runs, he says, that when
Lucifer was expelled from heaven,
those who sided against him remained
in heaven. and those who sympathized
with the fallen angel were banished to
hell with him, but those remaining
neutral were sent to earth and became
known as fairies. Mr.. MacManus spoke
of how the Irish still love to relate the
legends and folk lore of their country,
and himself recited several delightful
fairy tales He closed with the hum
orous story known as The Adventures
of Billy Burn
Following the program light refresh
ments were enjoyed, the guests being
served by Misses Hazel Willard, Fannie
Sandoe, Margaret WATSON. Eta Mason,
Edna Garvin and Ruth Balch, daugh-
tiers of club members. Pink carna-
tons and cyclomen were used as dec
orations.
Guests present from out Of town were

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA

Scientists are now agreed that the
eczema germs are lodged not In the
outer skin or epidermis, but In the IN
ner skin. Hence, a penetrating liquid is
required, not an outward salve that
clogs the pores.
We recommend to all eczema pa
tients the standard prescription OH OF
wintergreen as compounded in liquid
form known as D. D. D. Prescription. A
trial bottle of this D. D. D. Prescrip-
zion, at only 25 cents, will instantly
relieve the itch. We have sold and rec
pmemnded this remedy for years, and
know of wonderful cures from its use.
We recommend it to our patrons. NC
