Plan Appropriate Marking
of Spot Where Washington
Crossed Delaware River

u
The project for marking the spot
where Washington crossed the Della
ware as reached by stage In both
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It
first gained real shape seven or eight
years ago, when the Washington's
Crossing Park commission of New Jer-
sey prepared plan for grandiose
memorial. Land was to be acquired
on each side of the river, laid off into
fine parks, and splendid memorial
bridge built. The commission actu-
ally spent some $4,000 in buying 100
acres on the New Jersey shore. To
its powers the state department Of
conservation have now succeeded, and
they propose more modest memorial.
The 100 acres should be sold, the
house of the Ferryman McConkey, who
supplied the patriot army with boats,
should be bought and restored, and the
entrance from the river to the old
Pennington road should be marked
with an arch. This will cost nothing
like the $25O,O00 original outlay, and
! $4,000 annual maintenance required
for the original plan. Meanwhile a
commission has been appointed to
canvass the possibility of acquiring
land at Taylorville. Pa, to be develop.

With Queue Custom Passe,
Shanghai Doctor Predicts
Chinese May Raise Boards

Most of US have wondered why the
Chinaman. in distinction from other
men, does not grow beard. OF course,
some members of the race who belongs
to the male persuasion are exceptions
to the rule But the great majority Of
Cinnamon have no hair upon the face.
DIR. A. M. Dunlap Of Shanghai, who
has given considerable time to the
subject, holds that the old Chinese
custom of wearing queues consumed
all of the energy provided by nature
for the raising of hair. And now that
| the queue is out of fashion, Doctor
Dunlap thinks that boards may begin
to grow. Writing in an American med
ical journal of recent date, he tells
some very interesting things about
the Chinese barber, the styles in hair,
| etc.
| "The nationwide cutting off Of that
Manchu invention-the queue has Gre
ated new class Of modern BARRIERS.
do not mean to say that the barber
Of old China has passed, with his prac-
| tees, which remind us of these Oc-
cidental BARRIERS in ancient time. Even
in as enlightened city as Shanghai
they are constantly to be seen on the
street corners.
To-day these old men can be seen
with their washstands, basins and a
| single towel which does for everybody
| on the shady side of the street in sum
mer and on the sunny side in winter

Speaking at dinner Senator James

to the trials and tribulations Of the

story:
In the early days an autoist drove
up Ito small ferry where the charge
for horse transportation was Is cents
for a single team and 40 cents for a
double team. He was about to go on
the boat, when the captain told him
he would have to wait. Three times
the ferry went back and forth across
the river, and finally the motorist be-
gan to get impatient.
Cant take We over yet" declared
the captain in response to the others
demands to be ferried across. "Yer
the first one O. them things that ever
come down here an ! don't know what

An Unfortunate Guy.

Maj. Frederick Palmer, press cen
sor and novelist, said at dinner:
II am astonished at the high prices
which prevail here in America. In
England and France the high prices
are understandable. They are caused
by the submarine. Here their chief
cause seems to be the profiteer.
II was lunching with a friend of
mine the other day when his wife laid
before him the bills for the weeks

with a wry face. Then he said:

LEFT WINDOW OPEN
AND DEATH RESULTS

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 16.-Through
forgotten window blind, revealing two
figures entering a lighted bedroom,
Elmer Hupp, wealthy oil producer,
saw, last night, that a man had in
vaded his Lake evenue home in his
absence. The unexpectedly returning
husband ran in, found the hiding place
of Charles L. Joyce and shot him
dead. Joyce was thirty-fve and I'M
married.
These events were related today by
Attorney William L. David, counsel for
the oil producer who is in the county
Jail charged with first degree murder.
It was the story Mr. Davis indicated
Hupp would tell when on trial for his
life. The 'unwritten law" will be in
voked.
"The death of human being is a
terrible thing on a mans conscience .
Hupp said today in the Jail "But I
did the only thing possible Joyce had
been warned l told him he was MAX
ing things unpleasant in my home, and
he knew he was not welcomed here.

when I was seventeen. I've always

My wife and daughter have been ev-
erything to me. Just last October I
gave my wife 100000, of which SIS, 1000
was in Liberty Bonds. 1 paid $4,000
for our Lake avenue home, so my
daughter could be near her school.
