"rhe Thirteenth CHAIR


To say that play did capacity
business for an entire year is often
looked upon as exaggeration, yet the
truth is that there are probably many
people in this city who actually were
unable to secure seats to see "The
Thirteenth Chair" during visits last
year to New York. The mystic melo-
drama, which will be presented by
William Harris, Jr.. its producer, at
the Grand, Monday became sensa-
ton the night it was produced in
New York, and during the year it
played at the Forty-eighth Street
theater the management estimated
that nearly half again as many peo-
pie as did see 1t would have done so
had the capacity Of the theater been
greater. "The Thirteenth Chair" is
from the pen of Bayard WELLER,

j. S. TRUCK CONVOY
TO AID GOOD ROADS

Much good will come TO the move
ment for national highways through
the Army Motor Truck Tour now being
made across the country by two units
of the Motor Corps" said Windsor T.
White, vice-president of the CONNER
cial Vehicle Division of the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce.
recently.
"a few years ago the effort Of a sin
gle passenger car to cross this conti-
nent was considered extraordinary.
During the war the need on an ef-
fective agency of transportation 10
supplement railroads called particular
attention to the fact that better high
ways are necessary from military as
well as a commercial standpoint.
The present trip of army men
across the continent will furnish US
with a valuable set Of information re-
garding road conditions and operating
costs and other factors which enter
into highway transportation, includ-
ing the need Of trained corps of
operators.
''How important a factor the truck
is in modern usage was indicated by
Secretary of War Baker in his speech
made in Washington on the morning
of the departure of the convoy for
San Francisco.
After reviewing the vital part
which the motor truck had played in
the war. turning it from a question Of
static conflict to one of motion at one
of the most critical moments, Secre-
| tary Baker passed on to a discussion
Of our highway needs in this country
as a means of permitting the efficient
! operation of highways transportation
MI
brought out not only as a military but
! from a commercial standpoint by the
present tour, which, while it is travel
| ing over the best transcontinental
roads we now have, will still, follow
many stretches of slow and tedious If
not dangerous going.
"Out Of this will come strongly
crvstallized sentiment for a national
highway system as one Of the things
necessary to the welfare Of the people
Of this country.

DADDY" GOOD-BY

Don't leave me, daddy" was the

sembled last evening at the Lafayette
Hotel to bid godspeed to r. P. Jones,
manager Of the Washington branch Of
the Ford Motor Company.

and West Virginia came to pay tribute
to Daddy Jones as he was ahec-
uonately known.

assume charge Of the office at Cam
bridge, Mass, a much larger field than

The banquet really was in the ma
ture OF Speed the Parting and Wei
come the Coming Guest" as w. ..

Washington dealers, as this city is his
home. He formerly was here as as
sistant to Mr.. Jones.

OF the esteem in which he was held

presentation. Mr.. Jones took occasion
to deny, on behalf of the Ford Motor
Company. the rumors that have beer
persistent of late that the General
nfh nj
zation has acquired any Of the stock
OF the Ford company. On the con
trary Mr.. Jones stated that the Ford
company had now secured every dol

FIRST BORN
IN QUINCY
Daniel Wood Celebrates Ninetieth
Birthday in City Founded by
His Father Nearly Gen.
fury Ago.

QUINCY, Ill., Feb. 10.-Daniel
Wood, the first white child born in
Quincy and the son Of John Wood,
founder of Quincy and one time gov
ernor of Illinois, was host to many
friends who visited him in Anna
Brown home Sunday and congratu-
lated him on his good fortune in
reaching his ninetieth birthday IN
good health and strong mentality.
A lover of nature, Daniel Wood
spends much time in the city parks
enjoying the flowers and the bird
life. On pleasant days he walks
down town and the squirrels in
Washington park climb boldly into
his pockets searching for the food
he brings them.
He is the eldest son of Governor
John Wood and was born in log
cabin at the foot of Delaware street,
when there were no other cabins on
the site Of Quincy. He can recall
when his father moved into the new
