vANDERBIT'S START IN LIFE.
Actor Tells How Founder of Fam
lily Began Career.

Douglas J. Wood. who plays the role
of Cornelius Vanderbilt IN Little Old
New York" at the Plymouth Theatre.
spent considerable time before the play
opened delving into the history of the
family whose name he bears on the
stage. One OF the anecdotes he I'M
earthed In a volume from the Public
Library tells OF the Incidents that led to
young Corneliuss debut as a ferryman.
Twenty-six days before his sixteenth
birthday young Vanderbilt, wishing to
embark In the ferry business asked his
mother to lend him 500 to buy sail
boat. To test his earnestness she told
him that II he would plough, harrow and
plant with corn an eight acre lot (part
Of the Vanderbilt Staten Island FARM
before his birthday she would lend him
the money.
Vanderbilt induced his young cronies
to help him, promising free rides on his
boat as their reward Within the twenty
six days the task had not only been ac-
complished. but the lads had built a
wall OF stone about the place, increasing
the value Of the plot by $500. Thus be-
gan the fortune that threaded so much
of America with steel rails.

Lakewood Active
for Autumn Season

LAKEWOOD, Oct. with the opening
Of the Laurel House yesterday this re-
sort began what promises to be very
euccessful season. The Laurel in the
Pines this year established precedent
In keeping open all summer. The re-
suits were gratifying, presaging time
when Lakewood may be as we'll known
as a summer sojourning place as 1t Is a
winter resort.
Another feature attending the autumn
season was the opening OF the Country
Club of Lakewood. For the last eigh-
teen months q corps of worlSmen have
been busy laying out an entirely new
course over the old links and while the
work In not entirely completed soJourn-
ers are playing sixteen hole rounds. The
remaining holes will be finished by No

tournament, which has not been held TOT
two years. Until such time a. the club

will be begun next spring, club quarters

the links
Regular season sojourners were struck
by the real estate and building activity
which is going on and has been In prog
ross during the summer. Aside from the
several new hotels and boarding houses
which have been erected there are three
large tracts which are being developed
for residential purposes. These are re-
stricted residential sites and as soon as
the new houses are complete there VIII

leading airplane manufacturers.
The frail spruce and linen ship that

Germans, almost every aeronautical

There Is little comparison between
the JIG and the old type plane.
The only type Of airplane that was
successful prior to the JL-6's appear
ance was the wood and linen biplane.
The wing beams. the long fuselage.
the engine bearers, the struts, the
under-carriage were made of either
spruce or ash and the wings were
covered with Irish linen. The fuse
