CITIZENS TALK
OF ESTABLISHING
COMMUNITY CENTRE
Nearby Town Starts Simila,
Work Under Auspicious
Circumstances

Some of the interested residents
of the town are talking Of the pos
sibilities Of establishing here COM
munity centre with headquarters
somewhere in the heart Of the town.
Plans for the affair are still in
nebulous state but it is expected,
will be formulated in the near
future. The success Of the "Gym'
class conducted for ten weeks un-
der the auspices of the Y. w. G. A.
has convinced many that this could
be done. The example Of a neigh
boring community lends feasibility
to the movement.
Newport has organized a Com
munity Service group to carry on
work similar to that done in Will
mington and elsewhere. The initial
step was the informal opening Of a
playground for the town on Thurs
day. A special play period was
held for the young men and women
of the community on Friday even
ing.
Harold Keats, executive officer
Of the Wilmington Community
Service, delivered an address in
which he described what had been
accomplished in Wilmington by
his organization. He told Of the
advantages Of recreational activi-
ties and urged the Newportites to
lend their heartiest support to the
project now under way.
Fay H. Marvin has been appoint
ed director of the community work
in Newport with Miss Leila Lyman
as his assistant. Mr. Marvin was
formerly physical director of the
Sheriff. Public Schools, leaving
that position to accept a similar
post in the Depew, N. Y, schools.
For two years Mr.. Marvin was also
swimming instructor and coach of
a New York Home and School
League His athletic activities
have been varied and the residents
Of Newport feel sure of his ability
to direct community work there.
Before this town took charge Of
its own recreational affairs it was
assisted in all such matters by the
Wilmington Community Service.
Sing leaders, playground directors
and other members of the person
mel of the Wilmington organiza-
tion were sent to Newport when
ever needed. Newport Is the first
of the smaller towns in this vicinity
to take up the responsibility Of
community work modelled after the
organization in Wilmington.

MAKES APPEAL FOR
SALE OF BONDS

Because Of the failure of the
effort to sell $4,000 Of New Castle
county bonds at par with which to
pay for the improvements to the
B. & 0. bridge, a committee Of the
Chamber Of Commerce is appeal
ing to few local financiers to come
forward and buy these county
bonds, so that the payment for the
bridge work may not embarass
any one. The committee has been
successful in selling $4,000 Of the
bonds and hopes, through this ap-
peal to dispose of the entire
amount. A copy Of the letter con-
tanning the appeal, reads as fol-
lows:
''Dear Sir: The Levy Court Of
New Castle county has issued an
advertisement, asking for bids for
an issue Of 41a per cent 81, 900
bridge improvement bonds, the
proceeds from which is to be used
for putting the old B. & O. railroad
bridge over the Brandywine at du
Pont street, now owned by the
county, in condition for general
traffic in accordance with an au-
thorization Of the recent session Of
the General Assembly.
"The authorized issue was limit
ed to $4,000
lowing to the present condition
in the bond market, the only bid
obtained was for $55,327 for the
entire issue Of $4,000 worth of
bonds, or at a discount Of 17.42 per
cent.
cit has been decided by the au-
thorities that this bridge should be
completed, if it is possible, before
the Washington street bridge is
closed to traffic and that there
should be reinforced concrete guard
railsused instead of the old iron
ratings taken from the Washing

Lincoln's Gettysburg
Speech Unnoticed By
New York Times

In a recent issue, The Nation,
commenting editorially on the New
York Times merry habit OF con-
tradicting its news m it's headlines
made some guesses at how the
Times would probably announce
such a matter, say, as Llncoin 5
Gettysburg Address. "More than
likely" that editorial concluded,
"its heavy headline on the Gettys-
burg occasion would have been
Everett Delivers Mastery Ora
tion;' and a subhead would have
announced that President Lincoln
Also Spoke. - A hardy contribu-
tor has dived into the files OF the
Times and has brought up pearls.
We were truer than we knew. me
actual headlines for November ~,
1863, were as follows: "a Solemn
and Imposing Event. Dedication OF
the National Cemetery at Gettys-
burg. Immense Numbers OF Visl-
tors. Grafton by Hon. Edward
Everett. Speeches of President
Lincoln, Mr.. Seward and Governor
Seymour" The address by Everett
was given in full and it was elabor-
ately analyzed as a "classlc and
ornate oration." No comment on
Lincoln s speech was thought nee
essary, but the day before there
had been this much about: "Presl-
dent Lincoln's brief address was
delivered in a clear, loud tone OF
voice, which could be distinctly
heard at the extreme limits Of the
large assemblage. It was delivered
(or rather read from sheet OF
paper which the speaker held IN his
hand) in a very deliberate manner,
with strong emphasis and most
business like air. -
It is but just to the Times to say
that it was in good New York com
pany by such obtuseness. The
Herald published the full text OF
Everett's speech and omitted Lin
coin s, without, indeed, any other
reference to the President than to
say he had been at the cemetery
The Tribune gave the full text OF
both speeches but OBVIOUSLY saw
nothing particular in Lincoln S.

"The amount bid as above will
not provide sufficient funds for
doing this work and all of the ef-
forts heretofore put forth to get
this bridge put in condition for
traffic before the closing of the
Washington street bridge will have
been wasted.
"It is absolutely necessary to
raise the required funds in some
other way, hence this application to
you.
"It is the thought of the under
signed committee, cooperating
with the Levy Court in this matter,
that there is a sufficient number of
public-spirited citizens, interested
in seeing this work put through to
speedy completion, willing and
able to subscribe to a small number
of these bonds at par and thereby
render great public service.
"The income from these bonds is
exempt from Federal and State in
come taxes and they should sell
above par when the general condi-
ton OF the money market i'm
proves.

Opera House Offerings
Innocence and Youth Featured
In "The Pointing Finger

l.
In "The Pointing Fanger"
A story that breathes the atmos-
phere Of innocence and youth, OF
girlish longings, Of romance, OF
quiet humor and occasional heart
throbs is promised in "The Point
ing Finger a Universal feature
starring Mary MacLaren, which is
booked for the Opera House this
week.
In this photoplay, adapted from
a. magazine story by Frank r.
Adams, Miss MacLaren appears as
the oldest waif in the Orphanage OF
Brotherly Love, whose heart is torn
between love for the tiniest tot III
the institution and a desire to
escape to the outer world and away
from the drudgery Of the asylum.
Her flight from the oprhanage is
unmolested by the dishonest super
intendent of the institution, who
wishes to fasten on her the guilt for
a robbery he has planned. She
comes to the city in search OF en-
ploment, her last hope for a posi-
ton is almost shattered when the
eccentric collector tells her she is
too young and good looking for the
place. She disguises her appear
ance and as a trump obtains the
coveted employment. How the new
found happiness is nearly snatched
from her by cruel circumstances
and how she finally reaps the re-
ward of innocence and devotion
make each incident in ''The Point
ing Finger" a source Of enjoyment.

MacLaren s leading man in her last
picture, "Bonnie, Bonnie Lassie, y

penetrates her disguise and offers
her happiness; Johnnie Cooke ap,

assistant; little Camilla Clark is

meet again.
The Second Meeting
The orphaned Limehouse girl gets
4 Job in a jam and tickle factory.
After an employees picnic she is
driven home proudly in glorified
flivver by a young admirer and fell
low pickle-moulder when high-pow-
cred raceabout crashes into the small
Ter machine. The reckless driver of
the racer is Lady Dorothea, and her
passenger the very indignant Lord
Kidderminster. He is nightly graf
flied that the girl in the flivver, Sally,
is no more than slightly injured.
Dorothea, in atonement for her fool
hardness, sees that the poor girl is
given proper hospital treatment; and
later Sally's face so attracts her at
tention that she places Der as mo-
diste's model in Perry's, one of Lon
don's smartest shops.
AS a matter of fact, DorOthea ex-
acts a certain premium from Kidder-
minsterfor her benevolence-she calls
upon him to pay Perry a guarantee
for taking Sally, and she also con-
trives for Kiddie to buy her a new
hat. Sally, overjoyed at the new po-
sition, the glamour of her surround
ings and the hitherto unimagined
exquisiteness of the gowns she wears
for exhibition, thanks Lord Kidder-
minister with simple sincerity that
embarrasses him immensely. Joe
Mosenstein, manager of the Verandah
Theater, sees the girl and Kiddermin-
ster's interest m her, and asks them
both to Bohemian revel he is Civ
ing that evening.
At the entertainment, Sally, elated
by the hilarity-though somewhat
shocked at the promiscuousness of
some Of it-dances for the crowd, as
she used to down in Limehouse to
the tune of a street organ. Mosen-
stein is quick to see her ability and
persuades Kidderminster to back the
girl in a new revue. At the party
the young peer, somewhat flushed
with wine, tries to. make love to Sally,
but she is not responsive to alcoholic
affection.
Sally Makes Good
Her former friends from Lime
house are quite dazzled by the trans
formation of plain Sally Shape into
Sarita Mainwaring-the name Mo-
senstein has chosen for her to use
in his show-and they are vaguely Of
the impression that there is some
thing reprehensible about it. Johnny
Doone, who bore the glad tidings of
Sally's family tragedy, has joined the
Salvation Army; and in the stars
dressing room, where they all have
tea, he begs his cid playmate to en-
list as his wife. Then Sally con-
fesses that she is in love with Lord
Kidderminster.
