He wants to Know.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-In his letter anent Poor Old
Central Ave" published last week,
Neighbor Gardin pictured its condi-
tons in a far milder way than is
done in general conversation by those
who have occasion to travel on
this disgracefully-k thoroughfare.
There are quite few roads in this
vicinity that do not reflect any credit
on our Board of Freeholders, but
none of them in such wretehed re-
pair as Central avenue.
BY the way, what are the duties
of this august board? Are they sup
posed to be merely ornamental and If
so, do they fill the bill? I'm only
an ordinary citizen of the county
but l have an idea that the free
holders were elected to do some
things in connection with county ad-
ministration and among those things
the proper maintainence of roads is
not the least. Am / right or wrong?
Seems to me that our Borough
Council ought to stir some one up in
this respect. A considerable part of
Central avenue is in the borough, and
the taxpayers residing along its line
are untitled to the same privileges
as those in other parts of the borough.
Other streets have already been oiled
for general comfort, but no one has
noticed any oiling on Central avenue.
OF course, I'll be told that's CUP to
the county" but may I ask our Bor-
ough Council why they don't try to
get the county to attend to it.
The other day sprinkling cart was
seen on this avenue. The driver
carefully watered it down to about
ninety feet beyond the junction OF
Campbell avenue, then turned around
and drove away whistling. Wasn't
he supposed to water the street to
the confines of the borough? If not
why not, and by whose orders.
I'm asking a lot of questions,
know, but / could ask a good many
more and | don't believe there /:
a borough or county official wht
could truthfully answer without ad
hitting negligence on the somebody.
Now who is the somebody" and how
can we get whack at him? II
love to know and there are Others.
Sorrowfully yours,
S. QUINN.

1912.
Coronado was born in Spain about
1900, and accompanied Antonio de
Mendoza, first viceroy of Mexico, to
that country in 1886. Here he married
wealthy woman and became gov
ernor of the province of New Galicia.
After his two years. of wanderings
over this strange southwestern land
Coronado drops out of sight. He is
supposed to have died in 1545.

LETTER
SEC. DANIELS HELPS MOVIES
BY n. p. WALKER
Star star Correspondents.
Star Bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
WASHINGTON, July Is.


WASHINGTON, July Is.
Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
navy, is newspaper owner, and
knows the value of advertising. So a
few weeks ago. when an enterprising
moving picture producer suggested to
him plan for advertising the u. S.
Navy. and reminded Him that Mayor
Gaynor of New York, had set the
pace by posing for an Edison talking
picture, Daniels agreed to lend the
movie man a part of the navy for
amusement purposes.
This afternoon the big navy pic
ture was put on private view at a
theatre here, and the several reels
ground through the lantern for the
instruction of a big audience made
up of members of Congress and
army and navy officers and their
wives and families.
With the secretary of the navy
himself opening the play by writing
and dispatehing from his desk
wireless message, ordering a u. S.
battleship to proceed to mythical
Central American country and pro-
teet American lives and property, the
picture proceeded to depict scenes in
an international melodrama. There
were conspiracies, love scenes, wire
less messages, hydroplane fight, a
battle between two naval fleets, the
bombardment of a fort and it's de-
struction by a bomb dropped from a
hydroplane, land battle and two
hours of constant excitement, plot,
couterplot and action before the
American forces won final and noble
victory, and the hero, an American
naval officer, clasped triumphantly
the girl whose love his heroism had
won.
Several war vessels, an admiral of
the navy, corps of U. S. marines,
and a number of lesser naval figures,
took part in the making of the drama
for the movies. Secretary Daniels
thinks the piece, which will be
shown in the regular five-cent shows
after this week, will do a lot towards
popularizing the navy with the COM
mon people. and arousing public en-
thusiasm in the bigger navy program
of which he is an advocate.

CHAPTER XIV


~ GUILD we have sat with Rosalie
4, LIE Grange through thirty years
~ of her "mediumship,' we would
have found in all her assaults on the
secrets of the human heart a certain
sameness. There are, after all, only
a few main roads to the intelligence
of man and woman. Resale Travelled
these roads again and again, vary
ing the method only by those infiini-
tesimal shades which the artist
knows. Her approach to Senorita
Perez-known so far in these pages
as Miss Estrilla-differed in no es-
sential form her approach to a thou
sand love-lorn shop-girls, troubled
mothers, perplexed business men,
during her thirty years In her old
trade. She simply refined her
methods a little for Miss Estrilla, as
she had done always for her first
class customer"
First there was the APPROACH
mist of hocus-pocus Illuminated here
surprising fact which the medium
could not possibly know" This was
a period wherein the dupe was always
unconvinced but fascinated Some
professed to be amused and they
showed it by giggles which died pre-
maturely into long silences. Some
pretended to be unconvinced, but
they proved their dawning convic-
ton by brutal denialS. Some put
tests to her. obvious and subtle, &C.
cording to their natures. None had
ever attempted so daring and so
clever a test as Miss Estrilla with
her pretended revolver, and this was
bit of evidence, a guide-post which
would have made slender appeal to
Inspector Martin MCGEE or to any
jury who ever sat in judgment. Yet
to Rosalie, skilled in weighing fac
tors which no male policeman would
ever perceive, adept at reading whole
volumes of fact from the incidental
dropping of lip or lifting of an eye
brow, this was the most pertinent
bit of evidence she had yet discov-
cred For those who had most to
conceal, most to lose by the revelation
of their souls to blackmailer or a
spy. were the very people to put such
tests to her, and the harder the tests
she had always found the deeper and
blacker the ultimate secret.
Could we have followed Rosalie
through all those years we would
have discovered another most illu-
minating fact--this one a light on
that contradictory and complex char
acter. 1t was her impatience, as
time wore on, with certain bias
phemies on human affection which
| she had committed lightly during the
period of her beginnings. 1t is a
dreadful thing to barter with the
yearnings of departed children, of be-
reaved wives for the husband gone
before-with mans deepest and high
est-and all for the paltry fee of a
discredited profession. In her earlier
| period Resale had committed this
sin of the heart lightly, without inner
| blemish. Then-as always in youth
! her morals were the morals of en-
