Smith Of This City, Whose Father
Was a Cousin to Clara Barton,
Founder Of the Red Gross
The little schoolhouse in Borden
town, N. j., where Clara Barton,
founder Of the Red Cross, once
taught, is to be preserved and as far
as possible put in the same condi-
ton as it was when she was teach
er there more than 60 years ago. An
outline Of the plans for this work,
as published in New Jersey news
paper, has been sent by friend to
Mrs. Charles E. Smith Of this city,
formerly Miss Ella Barton, whose
father, William c. Barton, late Of
Windsor, was q cousin to Clara Bar
ton.
Years ago Clara Barton taught
school in Massachusetts,, and she
often used to visit in this city and
vicinity. From Massachusetts, she
went to New Jersey, where she was
instrumental in organizing the free
school system in that state. 1t is
a source of qualification to all to
learn that the people Of New Jersey
are making this move in her memory
The item published in the New Jer-
sey paper tells in an interesting way
| Of the plans being made for this
work. 1t reads as follows:

"Doug" More Than

There may have been gloom in the
hearts of some of the audience at the
Colonial theater before the show
started yesterday afternoon. we
don't know, Of course, what private
worries and troubles people may
bring to a theater with them. But we
are sure that nobody took any gloom

in the world was at the Colonial. The
mouse was packed to the doors at all
performances, and he was IN wonder

If the Fairbanks picture is a sam

Fairbanks has never been seen in a

that that is saying something.
The new picture starts with rush,
goes on with a rush and ends with
rush. It is action, pep and go all
the way through. 1t is a wholesome
picture full Of good, clean fun and
humor, up-to- the-minute in it's ap-
peal, and as prettily made a film as
We have seen in many day.
The story concerns one William

lives on thrills and excitement. Why:
Because he has a secret sorrow and
he forgets his troubles in the ad-

MAURITANIA HAS
ROUGH VOYAGE
Brings 1900 Passengers Across :
Dropped Into Sea All
Over Once

NEW YORK, Dec. 26. - The steam
ship Mauretania arrived here yester-
day. The Mauretania left Cherbourg
Dee. 19, and Notwithstanding exeep.
tionally rough weather made the run to
this port in less than seven days. There
were more than $500 passengers on
board, and from sone Of these it was
learned that on last Monday the yes
sci suddenly dropped from the the top
of mountain high wave' into a
deep trough of the sea. The shock of
the impact caused the liner to shake
and quiver from stem to stern. Many
of those on board asserted that she
went completely under.
Christmas eve was celebrated on
board. A tree was provided for the
children, concert was arranged, and
a special Christmas eve dinner was
served.
Among the passengers was Fred II.
Sereaton, foreign representative of q
New York department store He has
been abroad since October investigat-
ing for his firm trade conditions in
England. Belgium and France He
said that England particularly the
northern section, is rapidly recovering
from the effects of the war. Mills
handling wool and cotton products
arc booking up almost year in ad
vance, and the factories of Scotland
are enjoying what might be termed
unusual prosperity.
/ France, he added, also is picking
up rapidly Raw materials are needed
but systematic return to normal condi
tions is rapidly bringing the country
back to pre-war conditions. The Low
rate of exchange, he added, is one Of
the greatest handicaps under which al
of the European and continental coun
tries are struggling.

PRISONER SHOWS
SOME IMPROVEMENT
William Harris, Who Became Mental.
" Unbalanced in Newfane Jail,

William Harris of Boston, who recently
became mentally unbalanced and threat
ened to kill the jailer at Ncwfane, where
he was taken to await trial on the charge
of committing burglary in Wilmington,
has shown much improvement the past
few days. 1t was States Attorney f.
W. Gibson's intention to have Harris
transferred tn the state asylum at Water
bury but if Harris continues to improve
it is probable that charge will be made
against him for a crime less than burg
larry. possibly petit larceny. Then, in the
event of Jail sentence, he would be able
able to return home in comparatively
short time. Harris went to Wilmington to
work on u lumber job, but didn't like the
job and quit work and is said to have

to have taken only shirt.
