WANT A NEW ROAD

A delegation Of more than score
of the leading farmers Of Broad
Creek and Bethel appeared before the
County Commissioners, Friday, ask
ing for a road. 40 feet wide, leading
from Bethel to Broad Creek the
road will be about two miles long and
the right of way will be given by the
adjacent land owners.
1t is hoped to soon start work on
the project which is expected to bene-
fit many farmers in that section, as
Broad Creek is the only freight ship
ping point between Laurel and Seaford
being two miles from Laurel and four
miles from the latter town.

Art Gems Of Nations
Capitol Are Retouched
After Half a Century

Washington, Aug. l6.-After more
than SO years of service the mural
decora tons in the United States
capitol are being given a new dress.
When the republicans returned to
power in congress they made some
radical steps in the matter of main
tenance of the Capitol and one of the
most radical was the issuance of an
order that the mural decorations be
redone. For more than 80 years
Brumedi, an Italian aratist, worked
on mural decorations of the capitol
building. The work was completed
during the Civil war times and has
not been touched since. An aartist
is nov at work retouching all of the
mural decorations and bringing out
some of the works of art that have
gone unnoticed for years tetause of
heavy coats of dirt. Whether this
artist will be able to finish the work
is matter of political conjecture,
because it is estimated that it would
take FIVE years to complete the
retouching, and who knows whether
the republicans will remain in office
that long?
Another radical step by the repub-
licans was the opening of the mar
BILE baths in the senate office build
ing. Democrats kept these baths
nailed ur tight and contented them
selves with the large marble bath
tub that was used by Webster.
Now the more modern baths with
fine marble swimming pool are
open every day and of course, Sat-
day NIGHTS.

The summer home Montreal, N, C.,
Of Mrs. J. Wilbur Chapman of ia
maica, L. l., has been dedicated as
a gift to the Mountain Treat asto-
citation as the vacation home for

The gift was a memorial for her

whose activities had taken him to
every civilized country in the world.
nr. Chapman, until he died, short
time ago, was vice-chairman of the

DR.. Chapman had taken a promi-
nent part, made the address of dedi-
cation.
Mrs. Chapman opened her home

expense, so that several hundred

was so successful that she decided
to establish a permanent memorial.

has been invited.
Aviator. A. ]. Nielsen will make
flights over the park as a part of the
celebration. He has been making
daily flights at Manawa for several
weeks, carrying a number of passen-
gers.
: The warm days of August con-
tinue to bring crowds to Manawa,
where the bathing is the best in
years. The park itself is more
beautiful at this time of the season
than at any other, because the large
beds of flowers lining the walks and

are looking their best.

FORMER SLEUTH
DETECTS WAY TO
BEAT the MARKET
Once Officer of Chicago De-
tective Department, Now
Can Sign Name to $780,
600 Check.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Four months
ago Walter J. O'Brien struggled
for a living as a detective. Out
side of his work and his home, the
detectives world was limited to the
corner lunch room at the noon hour
and an occasional movie with his
wife of an evening.
Today O'Brien can sign his name
to a check for, half a million dollars
without fear of overdrawing his
bank account. He has ceased work
as a detective and has stepped forth
as a man of means. He is Chica
COS newest financial wizard.
On a figurative shoe string, the
former policeman and detective has
cleaned up a fortune estimated at
$75O,OOO within the last few months.
The story of his sudden rise to
wealth is a romance of the stock
market
Scorns Tips; Plays Safe.
He doesn't plunge with his money;
rather he proceeds guardedly and
plays no tips. His system of play
ing the market has insured him
against a single loss to date.
Pursuit of an investigation as a
detective into the merits of a GER
tain stock led him into the market
and made for him his fortune. Out
of an investment of $1,000 he took
single profit of $250,000 on the
r.ro,o+b of ,~for,,,t;o, ~, , carta; ~
stock gathered for a client of his
agency.
He doesn't worry any more
about making both ends meet at
the close of the month. Only the
other day he cancelled his $1,000
life insurance with the Policemen's
Benevolent Association and took
another policy for 100000 in one
of the large insurance companies.
Wealth Brings Wife Joy.
Mrs. O'Brien, too, basks in her
husbands wealth. She has moved
from the cramped apartment that
used to be the bane and worry of
her young life into spacious sum-
mer home at one of the big sea-
shore resorts. O'Brien bought and
paid for the place out of his stock
market winnings. There are serv-
ants now to look after the work that
formerly kept Mrs. O'Brien busy.
The high cost of living no longer
bothers her. She has ceased track
ing down the bargain counters.
Friend husbands handy check book
now pays for the tailored gowns and
frocks that take the place of store
garments.

"Bigness" Keynote
Of Superb Circus
MAY WIRTH COMING WITH
BIG CIRCUS.

An entire stable of horses is car
ried by May Wirth, famous bareback
rider, who is this season touring
with Ringing Brothers and Barnum
& Bailey Combined Shows, and who
is the foremost of the great con-
solidation's array of equestrienne
stars. Miss Wirth's stable numbers
IA steeds of Arabian and Australian
stock. They are divided between
the lighter and swifter type of
equine and the broad-backed whites
and dapple-grays. t
The speed at which Miss Wirth
works her mounts while performing
in the ring, requires a frequent
change of horses. Otherwise they
would become dizzy. 1t is the
rapidity with which Miss Wirth per-
forms double somersaults, "flips"
from one galloping horse to an
other, cart-wheels from ground to
mount or jumps from the ring floor
to the back of swiftly moving steed
with baskets tied to her feet, that
make this remarkable girls riding
supreme among equestrlennes. She
is the greatest woman rider that
has ever lived.
Miss Wirth is but one of the great
features selected for presentation in
the stupendous program of the
Ringing Brothers and Barnum &
Bailey Combined Shows. "Bigness
and quality" is the keynote of the
great combination. There will be
more of everything" than has ever
before been presented the Ameri-
