the thirtieth century, for we
should be another ten centuries
evolving eyes that can behold so
much of charm and fairylikeness.
There are wood nymphs, water
spirited, forest kings and fairies
just as truly as there used to be
grand dukes and bold knights, but
our eyes are so blind that we do
not see them after we are 5 years
old. We grown-ups are atrocious-
ly stupid. We start out wisely
but before we are years of age
we have lost the way in all of
this laundering maze of unrealit-
les that other blunderers have
taught us to call the facts of life.
ANY truly wise person would go
shooting fact on sight.
You know for instance how
much truth and reality there is in
tBlue Bird for anybody still
young enough for the actual wis
dom of life. Well, there is the
same precious substance in the
beautiful picture of "Undine." It
was made on Catalina Island and
the only thing more beautiful
upon this planet of ours than
the hills and wales of Santa Cata-
lima are the dreamy blue waters,
the crystal caverns and the
bright marine gardens that sur
round that blessed isle. A setting
of surer magic or of purer charm
was never exploited by the max
ers of a beautiful film.
Perhaps you have seen the fiv-
ing fish from the swaying launch
es between Z and 8 at night. 1t
so, you know some of the moon
light witchery and gentle mad
, ness of this picture. The whole
delightful story and film should
be made into murals and ceiling
decorations for the finest palace
in the world.
There is not time to tell you
the story and indeed the tale
night be carried to a further
and happier ending had Udine be-
longed among the mortals, which,
of course, she did not, but you
have my word for it that this is
a picture that every baby in New
ark ought to see, and we would
have people as beautiful as our
city if all the grCwn-ups might
see it with the same eyes of glad
hess.

Chief Justice Pennewill, the
chief speaker of the afternoon
dwelt upon the ideals of citizen
ship, which should build up and
not destroy, which should act and
not rest idly content with existing
conditions when those conditions
were bad. He condemned public
criticism of public Office, saying
efficient service must depend on
the men who give it," and that the
people themselves by their mac
'tivity in public affairs and pri-
mary elections are to blame for
most of it's wrongs. He said that
all men and especially the bust
ness men should prepare them
selves to take an interest in the
government and in the affairs of
the city and the state. He blamed
the lack of interest as being the

while the great nations of Europe
are locked in the death grip of
bloody warfare, their beautiful
and historic buildings crumbling
into dust, we should realize, as
never before, that we can best
serve our fellowmen by cultivat-
ing the arts of peace, building
and improving, rather than by
destroying. Let us then hope the
latter shall always be our good
fortune and that this building
may stand until it crumbles
under the ravages of time, or in
the march of progress a future
generation shall decree that it
has served it's usefulness and re-
place it by another, although not
more beautiful in form and fea-
ture, better suited to its needs
and purposes.

BEAUTY AND HAPPINESS
Theme of Picture to be Pre-
ented

"Undine," the picture to be
given at the Newark Opera House
next Friday evening, was the one
selected by the managers of the
new Palace Theater, Seventh and
Broadway, for their opening last
February. The picture as well
as the new theater attracted large
crowds night after night. One
writer after viewing the picture
says:
There is some dispute as to
whether the story of "Udine" be-
longs to the Greeks or to Morse
folks lore and after seeing the
picture, | am inclined to ignore
the past and to say that all CUES
ses are wrong. "Udine" does not
belong to Latin or Greek or Morse
men, nor to mythology nor to any
age that came after it, but in
stead it belongs to something like

Baker lives in Amherst, Mass
achusetts, on a farm. He writes
during the morning hours, and
works about his farm during the
afternoon. Until recently he was
an editor of the American Maya
zine. The necessity of finding
copy for this magazine says Mr..
Baker, produced David Gray
son. l was always fond of ag-
riculture and wished to write
something different from muck
lacking stuff. l began to write
Adventures in Contentment, and
sent the articles in to the maya
zine under pen name. Not one
OF my associates knew that David
Grayson was Ray Stannard Baker.
There was but one man in the
secret, Ambassador Walter H.
Page, who later collected the
articles into a book and publish
ed them. They were published
abroad and met with such favor

Newark High Concludes
Successful Season

Newark High School baseball
team closed the 1916 season last
Wednesday, when the club de-
feated the Dover High School
team by the score Of 3 to 4. The
boys have had a successful sea-
son, winning six and losing only
three games. Two of the defeats
were by the strong Goldey Col
lege team of Wilmington.
The club won from such teams
as Wilmington Conference Acad-
envy, Elkton, North East, DUPONT,
and Dover. In Ewing and Ritz,
Newark claims to have the best
high school battery in the state.
Ewing is a big southpaw who
with more experience should
make a crack pitcher. He has a
lot of Smoke" good curves and
control. This was the first year
that he ever did any pitching,
and in several games he famed
from II to Is men. Ritz proved
big help to Ewing, as the for
mer has had considerable more
experience, he having caught for
two or three years on the high
school team and also played on
the Newark Delaware-Maryland
League club last season.

CITY COUNTY BUILD
ING DEDICATED
Governor Miller and Chief
Justice Pennewill among
the Speakers

The new City and County
building, costing approximately
S1,4OO.OOO, was dedicated with
formal exercises last Saturday
afternoon. The time since the
tlan was entered upon until the
completion of the erected building
covers three years. The new

five stories high on French street.
The structure is built of steel,
granite, and sandstone. The eX-
terror is Webb pink granite the
interior Indiana sandstone, trim
med with imported marble. The
big corridor is faced with Ken
lucky granite. The magnificent
staircases are ofmarble with
ornamental bronze balustrades by
The Tiffany studios. The City
Courst room and the County
Court room are full paneled in
black walnut. The building is
pronounced one of the finest in
any city of like size in the coun-
try.
Governor Miller in his address
at the dedication exercises eX-
pressed the trend toward greater
city developmnt. He said:
eve are here today to dedic9
this magnificent building which
has been erected to meet the re-
uuirements of the citizens of our

constructed in all it's details, its
architectural effect is pleasing to

HILL INTERESTED IN
SOUTH DAKOTA ROAD

Louis w. Hill, son of the late
James j. Hill, and president of
the Great Northern railway, is
the present owner of the South
Dakota Central railway, which
was sold on June 12, under or
ders of the federal courts. C. O..
kalman, in whose name the pur-
chase was made, is acting as
agent for Louis j. Hill in this
deal.
Whether the road will be
merged with the Great Northern
line is not yet positively known,
but it probably will. If it does
the Great Northern will then
have connection between its
branches in the north and south
parts of the state.
