"GOT A U
TO SPARE,"
Crying Needs i'm Fiction.
BY Irwin S. Cobb

An English story. wherein no men
ton is made OF an elderly housekeep-
er in q rustling black silk, answering
TO the name of Meadows.
Or one in which there is no pas
sage referring to the rows OF ances-
trail portraits looking silently down
from the walls of the old hall.
Or one in which the young curate
Is lot modest and shrinking and ad-
dicted to tea
A French story where the peasant
wayfarer takes something out OF his
wallet besides a crust Of black bread
and some cheese.
A Spanish story where nobody stops
at n quaint wayside bodega and
drinks OF the sour wine of the coun.
try.
A romantic Middle Ages story in
which no richly dressed cavalier
throws a purse of gold to somebody.
A ghost story, In which no loose
shutter bangs at intervals, dismally.
A Mississippi River story. which
does not begin as follows: "The
Robert II. Lee was Just pulling out
from the Memphis wharf and the
voices of the happy darkeys"-
A Western story, In which the pro
fessional gambler does not veal
plain black. and does not have long
slender fingers and a pasty complex
Ion.
Or one where the gun fighter doe,
not draw and fire 80 quickly that the
eye cannot follow the movement.

LIKES VESTS
BOOSTING PLANS
HOweIIS. England In Portland,
Oregon, to Study Publicity
Work
PRAISES WEST FOR
AGGRESSIVE SPIRIT

PORTLAND. Oregon, July 26.-To
study advertising methods that have
brought Portland and other Western
towns prominently to the attention OF
people In other parts of the country
with the view of adopting some OF the
same successful ideas for the advance
ment of his home city. Howell S. Eng
land, one Of the directors of the Board
of Trade of Wilmington, Del, is IN the
city and is receiving the courteous at.
tention of officers Of the Commercial
Club and other semi-official organiza-
tons.
Mr.. England started his invasion of
the West a few weeks ago, and already
is impressed with the results of mis-
visit
Il often wondered what made every
one who lives here so loyal 10 this part
Of the country" he declared, but can
see why II is. There is every advan-
tage-every opportunity-here for the
young and old alike We have heard
much Of Horace Greeley's advice TO tho
young man, but the same seems "a
have applied IN many cases that have
come TO my attention on this trip TO
the old as we'll
Old Go West, Too.
II met an old woman out here who
had not been West until she was 20
years OF age. She had lived in the East
all her life--was a typical Eastern
woman. When she reached the Coast
she was in no haste TO return. She pro-
longed her visit for two years and
finally settled down and purchased a
home in which she is thoroughly con-
tent. She says she has no desire what
ever TO return East and her only re-
gret is that she did not come out to
this country at least 40 years earlier.
Similar instances have come to my
notice and | can blame no one for
wanting TO stay.
~ think that the real reason so few
persons return East when once they
come out here with the intention of
seeking a permanent location is that
the Coast produces the goods
THE progressive cities OF the coun-
try are elaborate I'm the quantity and
the style of their advertising litera-
ture, but they don't misrepresent
things Eastern persons generally find
just what they have read about Oregon
when they get here"
Oregon is Different.
Mr.. England said that a did not
take him long TO learn that things
here are different" than they are IN
the East
zone thing that has impressed me is
the audacity of your public men, the
audacity the daring, the nerve, If you
please, of those engaged in presenting
the city's possibilities Nothing seems
too difficult for them to undertake. and
the beauty of it is. they generally sue
ceed In accomplishing their ends.
1T is such spirit as this that hope
10 have the Wilmington Board of Trade
acquire through my report on tbs
cities of the Coast"

After the musical program speeches

child, whose home is within 100 feet
from the railroad tracks, managed to
elude his mother and wandered to the
tracks. Fifteen minutes later an
uncle found the childs body upon the
tracks, cut in half.
The child ran to the tracks as soon
as he got out of his mothers vision
and must have stepped directly in

baby are prostrated with grief. The
body of the baby was removed to this
city last night after Coroner Chand-

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS

New Haven, Conn., was troubled
with a most persistent chronic cough
for long time and had tried so many
remedies and prescriptions without
benefit that was discouraged. / was
persuaded by my friends to try VI
mol After taking the second bottle.
my cough left me, and ] must say
never felt better in my life. l can al
80 recommend vinol to any one in
rundown condition as the best possi-
BILE remedy"
II is the combined action of the
medicinal elements of the Gods liv-
ers, aided by the blood-making and
strength-creating properties of tonic
iron which makes vinol so efficient in
curing chronic coughs, colds and
bronchitis-at the same time building
up the weakened, rundown system.
Try q bottle OF vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be
returned II 1t does not help you.
