MASK AND WIG CLUB.

Much eager interest is being shown in
the appearance here on Wednesday, May
5, at The Playhouse, for both a matinee
and night performance of Don Quixote,
ESQ.," A sleepless knight, proclaimed by
the critics who have followed for many
years, the annual production of the Mask
and Wig Club, of the University of Penn
sylyania as the very best of the shows given
The outstanding features of the pro-
duction are the magnificent costuming
and the excellent music. The dancing
too, is Of the professional kind, so finished
are the movements and so light the step
of the dancers
The scenes Of Don Quixote, Esq" are
laid in Span, and reveal an artistic con-
ception of the 'land Of soft music and
flowers" which delightful song, by the
way, was written by +. r. Tourison of
the class Of 1920 Another tuneful mum
Der is the duet, when We Have Castle
in Spain, sung by Dulcinea and Man
rico, as an accompaniment to a real
Spanish dance of graceful motion, and
charming effect.
Many people from down State expect
to come up, especially for the Mask and
Wig appearance. Newark, Georgetown,
Smyrna, Dover, will all be represented, for
the alumni Of the university are scattered
throughout Delaware, and aside from
that, everybody loves real live show,
full OF real music, real dancing and real
fun.

MARSH LANDS MUST
PAY TAXES TO CITY
Assessment Board Refuses Appeal
of Owners for Exemption
as Unfair to Others.

The owners of Cherry Island marsh
lands must pay tnses To the city. according
To the decision Of the City Board Of AS
scssment, in turning down the appeal OF

last night upon the completion Of the hear
ings of appeals. or the 10000 parcels Of
land coming within the jurisdiction Of the
board and on about ! / 900 of which there
were increases in ssessrnents, there were
only 239 appeals.
One of the results Of the attempt Of
owners of so-called marsh land To evade
the payment of taxes Is expected 10 result
in an effort 10 have the next session OF the
Legislature repeal the act under which
exemption is claimed
The land is regarded by many as some
of the most valuable IN Wilmington, and
there has been agitation for years 10 have
the owners pay taxes in proportion to its
real value. A bill which would have
brought this about, and repealed the law
under which exemption Is claimed, was
several years aeo the cause of a bitter
fight in the Legislature II wns passed
by the Senate but the House turned It
down.

claimed runs along the banks Of the Della

NEWSTRUCTURE ON
ARCHITECTS BOARDS
More Buildings Projected in Ad-
dition to Those Now Under
Way and Planned.

Alterations and additions at 6lo-623
Market street, for +. W. Pyle and Ken
nard and Company, from plans by
Brown and Whiteside, are being figured by
Haddock and Co. John l.. Healey, Smyth
Construction Co, f. W. Russom Co. and
T.. L. johnson, due may tenth.
John Canning, architect, IS making
nlans for four houses on Hamilton street,
of brick and stucco construction, two and
half stories high. 33x33 feet in size, and
also building Of four stories, 60xl20 feet,
for W. H. RYAN, Thirteenth and Wash
ington streets.
An office building at S12 King street is
also on Mr. Canning's boards, 20 be of
brick and steel, 27x75 feet, two stories, for
Mundy and Company.
L. G. MAY has plans on which he IS
taking sub-bids, for a residence and garage
at Rlyerview. The structure is 6Sx3S feet
on plan, two and half stories high; the
owners name Is not gwen.
q. W. Robinson is the contractor for a
garage for G. w. Pyle at Eighth and Har-
rlson streets.
Very active progress is being made by
the contractors for the new building of
the Wilmington Automobile Company, at
22I West Tenth street. They have put
sturdy sidewalk covering along the Della
ware avenue front, and have started a
panr ON the form work for the concrete on
the old Quaker meeting house lot on Tat
nall street, above Ninth, getting out the
beam pier and panel flats from the roof
down, simplifying storage of the ready to
use material
A new system of construction, combln-
ing concrete, frame and stucco, devised
bv Ballinger and Perrot, of Philadelphia,
architects of the Union Park Gardens de-
velopment in this city, is favorably COM
mented on in recent number of the
Building News A model house is on ex-
hibition at the Builders Exchange, in
Philadelphia, for short time.
The skeleton is erected on the stone or
concrete foundation as for an ordinary
frame structure, with studs, joints and
rafters, except that every fourth stud Is
doubled with space 3x4 between the
pair, the space being filed with concrete
to form a concrete stud. At the second
floor and roof levels, a ledger board is
placed over the wooden studs, with re-
movable sides, making form for a con-
crete beam, which joins up with the ver-
tical concrete studs, making a complete
concrete frame of horizontal and vertical
members, both reinforced. Waterproof
paper is then placed on the wood studs,
some form of expanded metal reinforce
ment over that, and waterproofed con-
crete coating y inches thick is applied to
the exterior. by cement gun, stucco ma
chine or by hand; metal lath applied on
the inside and plastered.
An entire or partial brick veneer can be
for the cement coating, tying
to the cement frame The dead air space
makes for dryness; the exterior walls are
proof against outside fire and there is an
economy in the use of materials that makes
for money saving.
