PROHIBITION TICKET.
Question Whether Endorsement Was
Given to All Approved Candidates.

Some Prohibitionists today declared
that the Prohibition State Convention
yesterday did not "really endorse" certain
nominees of the two dominant political
parties, but merely regarded them as
acceptable and satisfactory"
The committee on nominations re-
ported that said nominees were "ac-
ceptable" and satisfactory" and the
convention adopted the report. Every
Evenings correspondent and Others con-
sidered this equivalent to endorsement,
and the fact that the names of said nomi-
nees will be put on the Prohibition ticket
strengthens this opinion. Others who
auibbled over the word endorsement"
said the convention cleft said nominees to
the individual voter" Only in one in
stance, relative to the Republican nomi-
nee for insurance commissioner, WAS a
motion made to endorse. Other nomi-
nees will be interviewed, and if ''ac-
eeptable" and satisfactory" they will be
put on the Prohibition ticket, or the
''places will be left open."

CANAL TRAFFIC

Special Correspondence Of Every Evening
Delaware City. Sept N.--Depesssed

slight falling of In trafYic through the
Chesapeake and Delaw4rc canal. Me!-

A few tomatoes are atill paaing through
the canal frufn ppinta in New jersey To
Baltimorc. Md. The passage Of the tomA-
toes through the canal hes brought UP
an interesting ule@tion That is that the
New Jersey growers have been shipping
their product tn Baltimore at lair pro-
fit, while many of the farmers IN this state
let the tomatoes remain on the vine and
plowed them under ~ they could not be
picked and shipped at a profit.
This peculiar situation is result OF
the New Jersey farmers last winter CON
tracting for the crop, while the Delaware
farmers. with notions OF ing prices IN
view, are said 70 have held of from the
contracts. Others claim that it WAS the
packers who would not make contracts
Tor the crop. The fact that New jersey
tomatoes passed through tho canal, how.
ever. indicates that the packers must
have contracted for some Of the crop.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL ONE IF MOST
 BEAUTIFUL STRUCTURES |NWORLD

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s-The Lin coin memorial. the gift of the nation to the memory of Abraham Lincoln. is one of the worlds most beautiful struc- lures and the greatest shrine of the man who saved the Union. Impressive in It's simplicity, the memorial prob ably is the masterpiece of all public buildings and memorials in the United States. It stands in Potomac park fac ing the Washington monument and it's construction was begun on LincoIn's horthday anniversary in 1914. The total cost has approXimated $3,0O0,00O.
 This monument to Lincoln is a large rectangular building of white marble. designed by Henry Bacon, a New York architect. It has beautiful setting on direct east and west line with the Washington monument and the nations capitol and rises IA feet above the level of the park. It is composed of four principal features-a statue of the man. a memorial of his Gettysburg address, a memorial of his second in- ausural address and a symbol of the

union of the United States.
 The most important object in the memorial is the statue of Lincoln in marble by Daniel Chester French a New York sculptor, placed in the cen tral hall where, by virtue of is impos- ing position in the place of honor. 1t predominates all else. The statue is colossal in size and yet distinctly per sonal. It represents Lincoln, seated, in thoughtful mood, and is the first thing that meets the eye as one passes through the immense colonnaded en- trance. Smaller halls, one at either side of the central hall. contain monu- mental tablets Tn which deeply incised letters reproduce word for word Lin coln's Gettysburg address on the left wall and the address made by him at his second inauguration on the right wall. Above these are two large mural paintings by Jules Guerin a New York artist, one typifying Emancipation and the other typifying Reunion Their production occupied three years time.

DriUeS Marrnon From
 Factory to DenUer

Tom Roberts of Denver sells motor cars but he drives them on long jour neys for recreation. to find out how they are built and to learn their max mum or minimum performance. Every time Nordyke and Marmon company introduces new model or design Rob
 erts goes to the Indianapolis plant and drives home one of the new type cars. When the Marmon speedster was in- troduced a short time ago MT. Roberts went to Indianapolis with his small son and drove a speedster back to Denver
 He accomplished the 1400 mile journey in three days actual running time and did no driving at night
 The first day while the car was still
 new he did not attempt to speed be- yond a 27-mile average gait, but the following day when he knew the car was thoroughly limbered he "gave it
 the gas" and at times averaged be- tween 50 and 60 miles for long dis 1 tances, over roads which he reports 10 l be the finest he has ever seen.
 In spite of the high speed for the
 greater part of the journey and the | fact that the car was a new one which
 ordinarily does not produce as great l fuel economy as does an older car, Mir. | Roberts made a gsoline economy rec ord of better than IA miles to the gall | lon. Aside from changing oil at Kan
 sas City for the good of the motor, the
 car used but three quartes of oil in the entire journey and it arrived in Denver
 in the very best of condition. Because of the trip Roberts says that for a
 uw-passenger car this new speedster is
 a very adequate and comfortable ve- l hicle for long distance touring, and that it has all the speed the sportiest motorist desires.

Here's Good Method
 For Washing Ca,

washing motor car to maintain it's Ene polish and luster is like polishine your best furniture. As much care should be taken with the one as is gen. erally taken with the other, Otherwise your car will soon have that old. worn JOCK which you do not like to see even on other machines.
 To maintain the newness Of vour car therefore. the first essential is to wash off the mud and grease as soon as it accumulates. If the mud is not washed off as soon as possible. its alkan con tent would tend to leave fneradica ble spots on the polished surface.
 Do not rub off the mud, but give it a thorough wetting by applying a loose pressure of water from the hose. Wa ter under heavy pressure, would drive the grit and dirt into the varnish.
 In cleaning off oil, use separate sponges and chamois for the body and tho chassis. In this way the heavy road oils and tars that gather more freely on the underbody will not come
 in contact with the highly finished sur face.
 Lukewarm water is best for this use It should never be hot, because the varnish is liable to crack and the color | disappear. For the same reason. the hood should not be washed while it is heated.
 To remove the hardened grease from around the frame and brakes, use kero- sene oil on clean piece of waste. The kerosene oil should then be we'll wiped | off
 l Soap should be used only when necessary, not to make the job of washing easier. Soft water alone can do most of the work, but where that will not suffice, only a choice soap should be used. One compounded on | a base of linseed oil is best. 1 In drying the body, after washing, a clean chamois should be applied. All | the rubbing should be done in a straight line
 ! The chamois can be kept clean by washing in soap and water, but be sure
 to wash out all soap before it is put | up to dry

inclosing these memorials is a magnifi- cent colonnade forming a symbol of the Union, each column representing ore of the 36 states existing at the. time of Lincolns death. On the outer walls above the colonnade and supported at intervals by eagles are AS festoons, one for each state existing at the present time.
 At one end of the great axis, planned over a century ago. is the capitol of the nation, which is the manument of the government, and a mile westward from the capitol is the 555-foot granite shaft which is the monument to George Washington Now, on this same great axis half a mile west of the Washing ton monument stands the Lincoln memorial. This completes an unparalled composition, triology which imparts to each of it's manuments a value in addition to that which each standing alone possesses.
 More than a dozen years ago Poto- mac park, one of the most important units of Washington's great park sys- tenn and which lies along the Potomac river, was first suggested as the site for a memorial to Lincoln. The late John Hay, one of Lincoln's secretaries and biographers and later secretary of state of the United States, favored its selection. In expressing his approval he wrote:
 "As I understand it, the place of honor is on the main axis of the plan Lincoln, of all Americans next to Washington. deserved this place of honor He was of the immortals. You must not approach too close to the inn mortals. His monument should stand alone remote from the common habita- ton of man, ;.part from the business and turmoil of the city-isolated. dis tinguished, and serene. Of all the sites. this one, near the Potomac, is most suited to the purpose"
 By means )f terraces the grounds around the site are raised until the

The American people make greater use of their railroad transportation fa- cilities than any other country. Each year our railroads perform a freight service equal to the transportation of 4,00O tons one mile for every man, woman and child in the United States A comparison with other countries be- fore the war would show 631 tons in Germany. 430 tons in France. 349 tons in Austria Hungary, and 3I1 tons in Great Britain. The railroads of the United States perform a freight service per capita more than ten times the average of the European railroads.
