Plan Appropriate Marking
Of Spot Where Washington
Crossed Delaware River

The project for marking the spot
where Washington crossed the Della
ware as reached by stage In both
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. II
first gained real shape seven or eight
years ago, when the Washington's
Crossing Park commission Of New Jer-
sey prepared plan for a 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 $25OOO0 original outlay, and
$4,000 annual maintenance required
for the original plan. Meanwhile q
commission has been appointed to
canvass the possibility of acquiring
land at Taylorville, Pa, to be develop
ed as park to mark the starting point

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.
DR.. A. NJ. 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
Dunlap thinks that boards may begin
to grow. Writing In an American med
zeal Journal Of recent date, he tells
some very interesting things about
the Chinese barber, the styles In hair,
etc.
1.-The nationwide cutting off Of that
Manchu invention-the queue has Gre
ated a new class OF modern BARRIERS.
I 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 Us Shanghai
they are constantly to be seen on the
street corners.

mer and on the sunny side In winter"

planned for a divorce and the young
man pledged his scanty funds to aid
her purpose.
One evening the young man called
at the girls shabby apartment. He
found her dead. An autopsy revealed
that she had died from natural
cause, q malady of the heart. The
newspapers told Of the finding Of the
body Of the young woman, and few
hours later the deserted husband ap-
peared and identified the remains as
those Of his young wife. He prom.

burial, and requested that the body
be carefully embalmed. Then he dis
appeared and never returned.

The body, with its glass-covered cot.

room, and some hours later, a mans
broken voice came over the telephone,
requesting that the body Of the girl
be held until further orders. That
night the death chamber had a visitor,
and on the casket reposed bouquet Of
roses and a note. The contents Of the
note were not divulged by the under
takers. but the body Of the girl re-
manned unburied.
That was Is years ago. Through
some mysterious potency Of the en-
balming fluid the girls body has re-
manned as 1t was In life. Twelve
times during the Is years the under

glass above the girls smiling face.
Each time the lid Of the case has
been found open and the hair reveal
