Former Newark Boy
Makes Name for Himself
AS Art Director to
Philadelphia Publisher

Edward S. Holloway, whom many
Newarkers remember as a boy and
youth, has made a place of interest
and Importance for himself with the
Publishing House of j.. b. Llpplncott
Company, Philadelphia. Mr.. Hollo-
way came to Newark very young,
when his father, the Rev. Charles IL.
Holloway, became Professor OF Lam
guages and Mathematics at Newark
Academy. The son left Newark early
to undertake business life, but being
attracted by Art, studied two or three
years of nights at the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts, and de-
veloped into Landscape and Marine
painter and exhibited his work IN
many galleries. Being also lover of
books he began designing book covers
for the Lippincotts, and eventually
became Art Director for this Com
pany, a post that he still holds. He
also often makes arrangements with
authors for the issuing of their books

Wilmington Invites
Suburban Shoppers

Wilmington merchants will inaugu-
rate, under the auspices of the Mer-
camille Section Of the Chamber of
Commerce, series of Suburban
Shopping Days, commencing with the
initial event Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, November Z, 8 and 9.
All over the Delrarvia Peninsula the
purchasing public has learned to an
ticipate and take advantage of the
semi-annual Dollar Days which are
held under the same auspices, and
these events have received the justly
deserved confidence and patronage of
the people within hundred miles of
Wilmington.
In establishing the Suburban Shop
ping Days, they will observe them as
regular events, though at what inter-
walls has not been decided, but they
are solely for the purpose of inducing
the rural purchaser to visit that city
when shopping, instead of going to
Philadelphia or Baltimore. Whining
ton merchants can and do offer their
customers equally as good merchan-
disc as may be found anywhere, and
at prices that will compare favorably'
with any in effect elsewhere.
Wilmington merchants do not de-
sire to open competition with rural
merchants, but they do desire to be-
come acquainted with the people of
the rural communities, and to have
them make their purchases on the
slogan, "If You Cannot Buy 1t AT
Home, Buy 1t In Wilmington"

through the Lippincotts, and plans
and supsrintends the preparation of
some of the handsomest publications
of the House. AS an authority on
interior decoration he became joint
author with H. d. Eberlein and Abbot
Mcclure of an elaborate book entitled
"The Practical Book of Interior Dec
oration," with 800 illustrations. The
book has been widely sold not only in
America, but in England, Australia,
and Japan. Mr.. Holloway is a con-
tributor to "The House Beautiful
and to "Good Furniture" He'is now
finishing a volume on the furnishing
of small premises to be published next
year by the Lippincotts. He continues
painting and regards that as perm.
anent and especially congenial part
of his life work. Mr.. Holloway's
father is living at the age of 80.

MORE ROADS
IN PROSPECT
Congress Solving Unemploy-
ment Problem

The action of the House Of Repre-
sentatives at Washington yesterday
in adopting the conference report on
the federal aid roads bills means the
revival of road construction in Della
ware. The adoption of the conference
report means that $365,625 will soon
be available for road construction in
the State.
As agreed upon in conference and
approved without a recorded vote the
road bill appropriates $75,0OO,0O0
from the treasury to be matched by a
like sum from the several states. Of
this amount 25,OoO,OOO will become
available January l next.
The conference report said."it aoas
deemed Wise on account of the unem-
ployment situation throughout the
country and the fact it is a favorable
time to secure contracts for the con-
struction of roads at greatly reduced
COSTS"

SUPPORT the Library

While there are no complete
returns, the Library Drive
seems to be meeting with sue
cess. The campaign will continue
through this week and those IN
charge feel encouraged at the
response being made.
It would be an interesting
study in Social Science to see
what section or profession OF
the town responds most liber-
ally. Naturally one would sup
pose that those who used books
most, knew and appreciated
their value, would be the ones
most enthusiastic in the building
up of a public library. That
really those who needed the IL
brary least would support 1t
most. There are many residents
of Newark, perhaps our great
est readers, who do not belong
to the library. They either buy
or secure elsewhere their read
ing. But that in no way eXcludes
them from participation in the
drive. To them should come the
greatest appeal. To those who
know books and love them,
comes the greatest responsible
ity in making available reading
for those not yet so appreciatlve
of their beauty and worth. So to
those who do not need nor desire
the benefits of membership, an
appeal is made for funds to
better equip the library to1
those who have no other access.

Doughboy Pluck

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was
talking at dinner upon doughboy
pluck. "A doughboy," he said, got

What 1t Means To
Be a Hollandel

Tn view of Hollands taking part in
the Arms Conference, and sending
delegation to this country, an article
in the Outlook for October goth, by
Edward w. Box, is particularly inter
esting. Mr.. Box introduces his ar
ticle with an anecdote of Theodore
Roosevelt:
A friend asked Theodore Roosevelt if
he knew certain man with whom he
was to be associated in large business
transactions.
"very WE'LL" answered Colonel
Roosevelt.
"Can l depend upon him?" asked
the friend.
depend upon him." echoed the
Colonel. "You certainly can. He's
Hollander. Do you knew what that
means?"
Colonel Roosevelt's remark recurred
to me many times last summer while
travelling through the Netherlands.
We quote few of the incidents
which Mr.. Box relates from his own
experience:
l asked the hotel PORTER to change
bank note of large dimensions.
Certainly" he replied; he would
. send the change to my ROOM Shortly
boy appeared bearing tray heaped
with bills and silver, the boy having
his palm on the pile to prevent the
bills from being blown away. The
money must have felt good to the
touch of a poor boy!
as that not rather a risky manner
of sending money to guests?" l asked
the PORTER afterwards.
"Why do you think so, sir? What
could happen to it?" he asked in per-
feet astonishment. I took the veil of
silence.
"I owe you for six hours. l think
l said to the driver of victoria.
''Less one-half hour spent in har-
Messing, sir" was the quick response.
l. .t
On the station at Basle, upon enter
ing Switzerland, we assembled some
ten pieces of luggage and wondered
what we should do with it while we
went into the station for breakfast.
"Shall I look after these for you?"
asked station porter as he approach
ed our party. The tourist conductor
with our party looked the man over
and asked, "You are a Hollander?"
81 am, sir" answered the man in
Dutch.
a1You will not leave this baggage?"
he was asked.
"No, sir: will be here with the
baggage when you RETURN" was his
answer.
reminded our conductor of the
value of the contents of the luggage.
81 know" he replied; "but this man
is Hollander," and then, curiously
enough, he asked the question Of Col
onel Roosevelt-"Do you know what
that means? 1t means absolute hon.
esty. He will do exactly as he says"
Il have Travelled now for over thirty
years." said our conductor at the
breakfast table. 81 have been in
every country in the world except the
United States, and not only once, but
twenty, thirty, forty times. l know
the. peoples of Egypt, of Asia, of
Arabia, as l know those of every
European country, And 1 say this to
| | h.
other country in the world as l would
a Hollander."
That is high tribute" I re-
marked.
"The absolute TRUTH" was his an
swer, "and every experienced traveller
will tell you the same"

LEO DIEGEL BACKS
OUT OF GOLF TRIP
Tells Friends in California He
VIII Not Go Abroad With
American Professionals.
BY KERR y. PETRIE.

Just because he saw fit TO change
from the old Schenectady putter to the
gooseneck type of club 1t does not neces-
sarily follow that Leo Diegel is all set
for that trip to st. Andrews with the
party OF American golf professionals
Take 1t from one who has been much
with the Detroit star during his sojourn
on the Pacific coast the voluntary
banning by Leo OF the mallet headed
type OF club has no special significance,
save perhaps. that II may mean that
Leo probably felt change was due. In
any event Diegel is not going abroad, at
least not this year.
Diegel left Los Angeles last Thursday
en- route for Pinehurst, N c.. where he
Is TO take part In the United North and
South championship, and from there he
viii go back to Detroit, where he will
report TO the officials of his new club,
Lochmoor. Leo has explained that ne
this is his first really big Job he Is par
ticularly anxious to make good show
ing and this he has given as the reason
FOR the emphatic announcement made in
Southern California to the effect thar
IL viii not accompany Jim Barnes, Wal
ter Hagen and the others who are going
over 10 try for the British open crown.
Leo Is not overlooking the one best bet
in the championship ornament but,
while he may indulge his fancy some
day, he declares that another season at
least will have to come and go. Still
Leo has lots of time for he is only p.
He has planned to return to California
and Pasadena next winter.
