ing to information reaching here. "
Dover was saved from being washed
out early last night by dynamiting
the mill pond that supplies the
electric light and water plant. Two
charges were used to save the head
gates. and rushing waters covered roads
to depth of five feet.
At present the town has barely enough
water for consumption, and in case of
serious fire would be threatened with
destruction
Late reports from Dover say that
for some hours the situation at the
state capital was critical, as the large
mill pond was ovcrhowing the banks.
A part of the dam was dynamited TO
permit some of the water to rush
through the stream flowing into Jones
river. The water continued to rush
through the stream and under the three
bridges Late during the afternoon the

Of the bridges, and again began TO over
flow the banks of the pond and go into
the town.
A second dynamiting was necessary.
The water from Jones river overflowed
the banks for miles at a depth of from
five to eight feet. The electric light
plant of the town was put out of com
mission and Dover was in total dark
ness at night. The water plant, how
ever, was saved, as the fires in the
pumping station were kept burning. The
waters last night began to subside. and
late last night it was reported that all
danger apparently had passed Had it
not been for the massive structure Of

The idea that japanese miitarism is

himself is represented as progressing
through the allotted seven ages of man,
the story Spriggles never seems to grow

some anxiety over the hero's parentage
there is not much to interest him. Sprig-

"'Spriggles"

CEEING the title Spriggles recalls the
~ story that went the rounds few
years ago about the young lady who took
her gentleman friend, Mr.. PinnOodle, to
call upon her grandmother, who was deaf
and who could not get the name, and
finally, after several unsuccessful at
tempts, laughed and said: ado you know,
it sounds just as if you were saying Pin
noodlep"
Somehow Spriggles as the title of a
story that is not intended to be humor-
Gus seems almost as funny as spin
noodle" and If we were the author,
E. Lawrence Dudley, end had been able
to write story of nearly five hundred
pages and have it published, we should
have hesitated to send it out into the
world as Spriggles.
But what is name but a prosaic
designation, such as House, Wood, Hill,
Camp or Coffinf To "Spriggles" is soon
added the name of Garland" which is at
least harmonious. "Spriggles' is the
name of boy, who runs away from as
much home as be has, and is befriended
by family called Garland The story,
which takes "Spriggies" through Boy
hood. Youth, Manhood, Lore, DC, just as
in all well regulated novels, begins with
the discovery behind the barrel by the
hearty Capt. Garland, who takes him
home with him, where the woman, we may
depend upon it such is Spriggles's luck,
is also hearty and smiling, and there are
fapjacks for supper, and the intimation
is given that there will be fapjacks
"pretty often" In Spriggles's life there
after, which is true.

REACTION FROM STYLES
 IN VOGUE DURING WAR

PARIS, March (by maiD Paris fashions this year will be "strikingly new and handsome" regardless of the high cost of living, and in the way of gowns the feminine world expects to see reaction from the war time sim plicity.
 A victory" style in women's gowns is expected this spring and summer, |says Excelsior, and evening gowns will be more elaborate than they have been since the war.
 Gowns will be longer and more or nate, it is reported, and brilliant col ors, profusions of flowers, plenty of ribbons, frills and furbelows, will be the rage. There will be no pronounced military style." The year 1919, it is said, will not see the birth of any dis tinctly new fashion, as it is only a transition period"
