FINISH rHE SHORT ROUTE FIRST

W oULp it not be wen for the Levy Court to recon
slider its decision to complete the improved
roadway down to Kent county by way Of Newark in
stead Of by or the State road? To cary out the
proposed plan would subject the public to great loss
of time and Irritating Inconvenience as it would make
the good roads distance between Wilmington and Kent
county nine ten miles longer than it would be by
the State road route
BY filling in two or three gaps in the State road
route we should have a short and good route down
the county from the Pennsylvania State line to the
Kent county line Nor is that all The good road al
ready built from Wilmington southwark by the State
road route is much better than that built from VII
mington 10 Newark and beyond by the so-caled west
side route In fact Wilmington automobiles who
knows every foot Of both routes said yesterday that
the road TO Newark is in bad condition and that it is
getting worse every day
Most travellers by road at a loss to understand
Why the Levy Court should select tho long west side
route and neglect the short east side or state road
route and thereby subject thousands Of our citizens

vane opinion is that nothing should be done on the

Meat-Bearinu Tree,

In Mexico grows tree called the
Avocado, whose pear-shaped fruit is
reputed to be composed of the sub
stances which are to be found in meat.
1t contains about twenty per cent of
fat and many other ingredients of
great food value, and one good-sized
meat" pear is quite sufficient to make
a meal for the average man.
The reason why the fruit is so little
known at present is because it is
grown nowhere on a large scale, what
few trees there are grow round the
huts of the natives, where they flour
ish with little care and afford easy
meals for the indolent owners.
Cultivated on extensive lines ii
might have an important bearing on
that serious subject, the high cost of
living.

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura oint-
ment into the parting with bit Of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura ONT
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair, 1t is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month Is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

pressive glance.
"She is like you" slipped from him
involuntarily; then, furious at his be-

Floyd replied. They want me at the
Mercury factory, and there are some
other trips, too believe. Jessica is
going to be rather deserted; if you
happen to look her up, no doubt she
would be glad to speak to some one
besides her nurse"
Thank you" accepted Stanton, as
carelessly. Take care of yourself"
He had not reached the exit when
Floyd overlook him.

newspaper into Stanton's hand. There

But his mechanician evaded the
question.
Some people are hoodoos," ht
laughed. Keep away from them

He had not spoken Valerie Carlisle's
name, yet Stanton knew against whom
he warned. And the melodramatic
absurdity Of the idea did not preven
an odd thrill of discomfort and inse
curity, from which he took his usua
refuge In roughness.
"I'm not in the habit of hiding from
people, hoodoos or not. Goodby"

CHAPTER X.
An Interval.

1t was on the second day after his
arrival in New York that Stanton
called upon Jessica Floyd. This time
he went more confidently up the stairs
of the quiet apartment house, sure of
his right.
AS before, the little old Irishwoman
clad in black silk was waiting to ad-
NIT him; as before, he could have
cried out in the wonder of seeing this
girl who turned Floyd's candid face
to him and smiled with Floyd's gray
eyes. Only, this afternoon Jessicia
did not rise from the piano seat to
greet him, but from a chair near a
window.
