Judge Johnson. In some instances they
were accepted; in others, the court de-

Much interest Is being taken In the

MAKING PARKS READY
FOR The SUMMER Season

New building work at Shellpot Park
has now reached a point where the
public is able to get an idea OF the
number of changes and improvements
which are being made. The Jack Rab-
bit Ride, the Red Mill and the merry
go-round building are now getting into
shape so that an idea of their size
can be formed.
Just as soon as the big work is out
OF the way, James Il. Henry, manager.
will place a large force OF men at
work on the new concession buildings
and other improvements in the park.
and these will be pushed as rapidly as
possible. Just at present il is inn
possible to work on all the buildings
at once for the reason that the men
would be in the way OF each other.
Mr., Henry is devoting much of his
time to Brandywine Springs Park.
which is also being gotten into shape
for the coming season.
The new car equipment OF the VIII
mington and Philadelphia Traction
Company will enable the company to
| give better service to both parks than
ever before. The summer cars OF the
company are now being put into shape
for the season.

Workers or Which, was
his subject, and he urged Christians
to get to work and "do something for
God even if they had never done so
before"
The chorus choir of 300 voices. led

rapid mental and body development Of
these boys and girls makes tremen-
dous demands upon their vital forces.
And usually, when there is not enough

dull, scanty, brittle, lifeless-lookinr
hair and dandrum is the result. and
Mother is sure TO be distressed be-
cause OF its lack Of abundance and
beauty. a
Partisan Sage is the ideal hair and
scalp treatment for growing children
as many mothers can testify. This de-
licate and wholesome scalp vitalizer is

OF nutrition that properly invigorate
the hair and scalp dissolve dandruff
and promote healthy, normal hair
growth.
Many mothers are personal users OF

preparation that is tender and whole
some enough TO invigorate baby's SCALP
Is a preparation we'll suited for moth

LOCATION OF BRIDGE
Rehoboth Citizens Divided
AS To Where New Struc-
ture Shall Go
COURT HOLDS OPEN
MEETING ON SUBJECT

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
GEORGETOWN. April 6. ~ Sussex
County Levy Court on Tuesday after
noon granted q public hearing on the
matter of the location OF the bridge
that is to be constructed across the
Government canal at Rehoboth Beach.
Former Congressman Hiram r. Bur-
ton, of Lewes, opened the discussion
and stated, In his opinion, the bridge
should be placed north Of the rail-
road bridge. He argued that il so
located some OF the farmers would
give a right Of way through their land
and shorten the distance about two
miles. Charles S. Horn agreed with
DR.. Burton.
William J. Thoroughbred, one OF
the members OF the County Board OF
Assessment. contended that the struc-
ture should be erected south Of the
railroad. lie claimed that the south
ern part Of the beach is developing
more than the northern part and that
teams and automobiles could get into
the town TO q better advantage and
would not have TO encounter danger
ous crossings. Colonel Theodore
Townsend Of Milford, was present at
the meeting, and when called upon TO
express his views about the matter
stated that Il is the desire OF the pub
Tic to avoid crossings, and for that
reason believed that it would be much
better "a have the bridge erected south
Rohoboth is divided into two factions
on the proposition. The court reached
no decision.

SMYRNA RIVER CUTS
TO BE Started soon
New Boat to Go On Run
TO Philadelphia When
Channel Is Finished
DREDGING TO FILL
LAND ALONG STREAM

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
SMYRNA. Del April 6.-By the
first Of next month the prediction is
that work will begin to shorten and
dredge the Smyrna River route be-
tween Smyrna Landing and the Bay.
This will consist of three cuts
through lands that have been ac-
quired and turned over to the Gov
ernment and will shorten the route
about three miles. When completed
it will enable the Smyrna Steamboat
Company 10 put on a fast freight and
passenger steamboat capable OF max
ing the trip from Smyrna Landing
to Philadelphia in five hours. Re
Gently Elisha Webb, president OF the
company, purchased the Elizabeth
Monroe Smith" for this purpose, but
owing to the delay in getting the
creek improvements made and the
fact that a different kind of boat
adapted to local conditions was under
consideration, the Smith has been
sold and a newer and faster boat
will be secured
Col John Biddle, OF the corps Of
engineers of the United States Engi-
neering Office at Wilmington. has
notified President Webb that pro-
posals for doing the Smyrna River
work must be in by April 26.
Representatives OF the dredging
companies bidding on the project will
shortly confer with landowners along
the creek regarding dumping for
dredged material.
