WINDSOR MINSTRELS
MAKE BIG HIT HERE

The Windsor Lodge Ministries came
over TO Detroit, Friday night, and
gave their performance in the audi
forum of the Masonic temple, under
the auspices of Detroit lodge, No. 2,
F. & A. NJ. The big hall was filled,
many having TO stand. 1t was the
fourth show given by the Ministries
this. year, and they gave little evi.
dence of being an amateur organiza-
ton. Each member carried out his
part in professional style, and the
audience was well entertained from
start TO finish The boys" revealed
an innovation in the first part, using
a southern wharf scene, in which
they impersonated "darkies" on a
frolic, instead OF the conventional
dress suit effect, which has so long
served for a minstrel opening. The
change was keenly relished by the
Detroiters.
The end men used local hits TO ad-
vantage. and the soloists and chorus
work reflected credit on the club. DR..
l.. ID. Hogan, who sang the new song,
"Harbor OF Love-" Fred Lodge, 'Sil-
yer Threads Among the Cold" and
Ed Wilkinson, Bonnie JEAN" were
especially pleasing: Among the end
men, bill" Woollatt, Mac Campbell
and Andy" Dalziel carried off
honors.

with his magic and ventriloquism,
while the Varsity Glee club gave a
number OF selections.
The second part was a sketch, en-
titled The Hotel De Rotten" and 1t
was full of good, clean comedy,
featuring a make-believe elevator in
operation, serenade by burlesque
band. and the singing OF General
Haydtack" by Ed. Parsons. The song
was warmly received, number OF
elcores being requested.
A pleasing feature of the evening
was the singing of a verse Of the
British national anthem by the audi
ence at the opening of the perform
ance, the words being printed on the
programs. In closing the show the
Ministries sang MY Country, 'Tis OF
Thee"

The item has been approved by the
council committee. -
The park department has used a
combination OF Kentucky rock and oil
on the boulevard. The initial cost is
said 10 be way below the average
cost OF asphalt paving, but II requires
considerable money to keep IL up.
This year the commissioner plans t.
use asphalt macadam wherever its
use Is practicable. The material Is
used extensively in Chicago and is a

ment than the rock and oil combina-
ton.
The asphalt macadam pavement
costs approximately sc cents a square
yard to put down on the boulevard,
including cost of labor and material
Paving experts who have examined
the material laid In other cities say
that the life OF the pavement Is about
four or Ave years. The material is
considered by some to be more suit
able for boulevard purposes than the
regular asphalt paving OF city streets.
Figures obtained In the department
of public works show that the aver
age cost to the city OF manufacturing
the material and laying one square
yard OF asphalt paving in the street.
all charges figured in, is $l.25. The
life OF this pavement is 10 years.
1T Is true that the original cost
of rock or asphalt macadam is com.

council committee on streets. THE
cost OF that sort of pavement in 10
years will be found to run way be-
yond the cost of the city asphalt paw

for maintenance in that period OF
time
The aldermen suggested that the
park and boulevard department could
have saved considerable money by
buying an asphalt plant similar 70
that used in the department of public
works.
The question of paving the boule-
ward with some other material than
crushed rock came up year ago and

The new extension of the line of

some time ago, but operation of cars
over the extension has been delayed

The new line extends from the pres

feet, and when cars are operated over
the new line it will be a great bene-

GLYNN TO MAKE EXHIBIT
At CHICAGO LAND SHOW
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SHOW
IN THE CITY TO CONFER
WITH CITIZENS.

J. H. Mahoney, representing the
Chicago land show, which is to be
held this fall under the auspices of
the Chicago Tribune, spent yesterday
in the city and during the day con-
ferred with a number of Brunswick
citizens in regard to an exhibit at
the show by Glynn county.
Brunswick and Glynn county made
an excellent exhibit at the land show
last year, which resulted in much
good to the city and county. 1t gave
the county a big advertisement, and,
as direct result, two Or three new
citizens have been added to the city's
population.
Mr.. Mahoney was assured yesterday
that the county would again make an
exhibit and space will probably be
secured during the week Many other
counties in the state are reserving
space for an exhibit. Mr.. Mahoney
states that every indication points to
a successful exhibition this year, a
number of states which were not rep
resented last year having signifed

MANY HAVE BEEN ARRAIGNED
FOR VIOLATING ORDINANCE
KEEP TO THE RIGHT" LAW is
NOW BEING RIGIDLY EN-
FORCED BY OFFICERS.

Many people have been arraigned
IN the municipal court during the
past week charged with violating the
keep to- the right" ordinance of the
city, which, though it has been a
l-.n for many years, has never be-
fore been enforced. The effect of the
enforcement of the ordinance is now
be.ng noticed and seldom can a ve-
hicle of any kind be seen on the
wrong side of the street.
Many of those who have been ar
raigned during the week have been
made to pay small fines or dismissed
with orders not to appear again on
the same charge.
1t is evident, however, that some
of the officers are misconstruing some
portions of the ordinance, and they
are resting under the impression
tha in no event is a vehicle allowed
on the left side of the street. For in
s. arce one or two hack drivers have
been arrested when they had passen-
gers to carry to certain place which
mace it absolutely necessary for them
to drive for a short distance on the
left side of the street. This is not
considered a violation and it is prob
able that the officers who have made
such arrests will be better posted on
the law.
The ordinance, however, in its en-
tirety, is a good one and many ac-
c.~,n,s viii be ayerted by its strict
enforcement.
