FREDERICK STREET PAVED

The new pavement of Frederick
street between Broadway and Wash
inpton street was completed last night
and will be opened to the use Of the
public in a few days. The work was
done by Herman Loeffel. the contrac-
tor.
The material used for paving of this
street caused two residents and prop
erty owners on Frederick street to file
a complaint with the Mayor and re-
uucsted him and the Street Commits
sioner to look after the matter. The
compliments were p H. .Boyce, 426
North Frederick street, and G. W.
Setback, 424 North Frederick street.
The matter was, however, straightencd
out to the satisfaction Of all the par
ties concerned.
Boyce and Setback thought the mix
ture Of the material was not up tc
standard, because the gravel used
seemed to be too fine. Reports OF sev-
eral expert highway engineers were
read to both complainants showing
THAT the finer the gravel used the moct
solid the pavement would be.

The Eternal Question.

Is there anything the employer of labor hates more than the eternal question?
 A dentist told me the other day that he should have to get rid of his assistant. She seemed sweet, willing little thing and I asked him why.
 Because she asks so many ques- tions," he said. Tt seems as if I should go mad sometimes if I had to answer another question:" The Eternal Question Is The Thought
 less Question.
 "The other day." he went on, 1T asked her to do an errand on B street (naning one of the best known streets in the city). She said, What street? The one over back? Now there isn't another street in the city and she must know it. What under the sun should make her ask mo that Question?''
 What indeed, but just habit?
 The eternal question is always the thoughtless question.
 Easier To Ask Questions Than To
 Think.
 It is easier to ask questions than to think, and so the person who fol- lows the line of least resistance gets into the habit of responding to every request of his employer by a string of questions. Some relate to things he needs to know but might have thought out If he had tried. Others like the one the dentist quoted, are absolutely without any excuse.

CHAPLIN WEEK IS
 MEETING WITH FAVOR

First nighters'' who itnessed the Mutual roaring comedy of gypsy life, ''The Vagabond,' the new Chaplin film, last night at Keeney's were still laughing today over the amusing comedian and his select company, and if the advertising given the picture by them is at all effective there will be a big crowd on hand every day dur ing the balance of the week. ''The Vagabond" is to be shown every af- ternoon and evening including Satur- day. Chaplin weeks are exceeding ly popular with the Keeney patrons and from a box office viewpoint they are indeed successful. Keeney's has the exclusive rights to the films in New Britain and the Chaplin de- voices flock to the playhouse in large numbers while the Mutual comedian tops the program.
 "The Tighter Rein'' the second chapter in the "Who's Guilty" series, in which Tom Moore and Anna Mill son are seen at the head of an all- star company is to be another big attraction for tonight. The serial started last week and created con- siderable talk throughout the city. 1 Wednesday, Garter DeHaven will
 be seen in From Broadway to a
 ''white way rounder worked his way into a foreign kingdom.
 There are to be shown several Universal films daily in addition to three high class vaudeville acts.
