is scheduled to last six months. This
travel by the crown prince is unusual
and important.
1t is the climax of an education
which probably has no like in this age
For nearly 20 years the best minds of
Japan have been concerned with his
upbringing and training.
1t is the first time that a japanese
emperor or an heir to the throne has
ever left Nippon.
Its importance lies in the fact that
Its results cannot be foreseen. either
upon Hirohito or upon his nation.
For example: HirohitO is educated
and intelligent. But he knows the
world outside of Japan only at second
hand. That outside world must be
seen to be appreciated. What effect
will this appreciation have upon the
man when he shall come to rule over
japan?
To most of the japanese their ruler
Is more than n mortal man, notwith-
standing the government is cOnstitu-
tional monarchy. Europe, just now. is
an eloquent object lesson on the SUBJ
ject of the divine right of kings. Will
Hirohito elect to rule as man or as
n god?
All this is interesting because prece-
dent has been abandoned in the case
Of this particular crown prince. He
is the first of his kind to wear specta-
cles. He has worn glasses since child
hood. When oculists prescribed lenses
for his near-sighted eyes, there was no
precedent. But precedent was made
then and there.
The prince is making his journey
aboard the old battleship KatOri, ac-
companied by the Kashlma, virtually a
sister ship. Their displacement is
about 10000 tons each, and speed
about IS knots. Both are now obsO-
lete as fighting ships. The commander

the japanese navy.
Hirohito was born in the thirty
fourth year of Mill. that is, in the
thirty-fourth year of the reign of his
grandfather. the emperor Mutsuhito.
By our calendar the date of his birth
day is April 20, 1901. Although from
his birth 1t was expected that Prince
HirOhito would one day become en-
peror, he has been the heir apparent
only for the last eight years. He was
designated crown prince In August,
1912. a few days before his father, the
Emperor Yoshihito, succeeded to the
throne on the death of the Emperor
Mutsuhito.
A month after his designation as
crown prince, this youthful emperor
wns gazetted an officer in both the
army and the navy. AT the age of
eleven. Prince Hirohito became an en-
sign In the navy and sublieutenant
in the army. In both branches he
was advanced grade on his thir-
teenth birthday, and he became ca ,
tain in the army and a senior lieu' IN
ant in the navy In the fall of 1915,
when he was formally Installed as
crown prince with great ceremony. To
day he wears the army uniform OF
major and in the navy he ranks as
lieutenant commander, having been ad-

.ELETON ROAD WAR ENDS
WITH VICTORY FOR. STATE
IS FOOT STRETCH ON MAIN ST.
OF THAT TOWN TO BE PAVED
Town Authorities Finally Give in Af-
ter Hold Up of UncOmpleted Section

The war between the Maryland
State Roads Commission and certain
citizens of Elkton is at an end. The
commission won, and the main street
of Maryland's Gretna Green now will
be paved.
The Roads Commissions sign ex-
planning the reason for the fued has
been hauled down. Now the commits
sion, always ready to help a fallen
enemy, is preparing to wipe out the
towns eyesore, known as "Clayton's
hole"
Much Of this may be Greek to the
average person, but the citizens of
Elkton who have daily lodged the un-
finished 75-foot section on Elkton's
"main street." at the corner where
Richard Deibert's store is located, and
the officials of the State Roads Com
mission understand it thoroughly. To
these parties it has been a cause of
much pickering; in fact, the cause for
a lawsuit which ended Elkton's chance
of having a completely paved "main
street" When the State Roads Com
mission was paving the street it saw
chance to avoid accidents, and wild

inches from the property of Richard
Deibert. Deiber said no. He not on
ly said no, but he followed it up by
engaging Joshua Clayton, lawyer and
politician, to file an injunction against
the commission. When the commits
sion saw ELkton split factionally over
the issue it settled the matter by leav-
ing the 75-foot stretch of road unpav-
ed and large sign explaining just
why it wasn't paved. This sign gOl

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES"
Tale of Adventure by Land and Sea
In Picture Form

In Picture Form
The days of the gold rush-to Cali
fornia, to Alaska, to Australia-with
their loosing of human passions and
weaknesses, their return to the primi-
tive ways of living and fighting, form
one of the most absorbing and dra-
matte periods in recent history. For
most of the present generation only
word picture of that era is vouchsaf-
ed. The real spirit of adventure and
hectic atmosphere of the gold days is
to be brought back, however, in all
their original colors, with all the
glamour which surrounded them.
dead Men Tell No Tales" a Vita
gaph-TOm Terriss Special Production
of the famous novel by Z. w. Horn
ung, is to resurrect these thrilling
times for the screen. The production,
with an all-star cast, is to be shown
at the Opera House on Friday and
Saturday. Besides its historical in
terest, the picture is by far the most
vivid, most fascinating tale of adven-
ture which has made its appearance
on the screen for some time. Those
who respond with quickened pulses
and who does not ?-to swashbuckling
stories of the sea, of battles against
tremendous odds and toying of human
lives will welcome the production with
open arms. The plot of dead Mer
Tell No Tales" is dramatic in the ex
treme, with suspense, counter plot ant
love interest. 1t would be melodra
matte if not for the fact that sucI
things did actually happen when al
the world was seized with the gol,
madness.

TEACHERS UP STATE ARE PAID
Salaries of All School Teachers Paid
Except the Tardy Ones

Salaries of all the school teachers
of rural New Castle county, with ex-
ception of five or six, have been paid
up to the close of the school year, it
was stated today by Wilbur H. Jump,
county superintendent of public
schools. Delay in payment of the five
or six, Mr.. Jump said, was due to the
teachers having failed to send in their
annual reports early. These reports
have to be approved by A. r. Spaid,
State Commissioner of Education, and
by the County School Board before
check is sent for salary. The new
State Board has asked for an inven-
tory of the assets and liabilities of the
retiring county board and the figures
are now being prepared, so as to be
ready on Friday when the State Board
will officially assume its duties. 1t is
not believed, according to statements
made at the office of the County Board
of Education today, that the expected
deficit of the county board will exceed
$1,000 or $4,000, which is amply COW
cred by the outstanding overdue taxes
now being collected by the Levy Court.
Because of the uncertainty which has
arisen under the new school laws and
the action of the new State Board of
Education, contracts for the county's
teaching staff for the next school year
have not been made. There have been
152 teachers on the county rolls this
year and the monthly pay roll has
averaged approximately $4,000.

Bees Eaten for Revenge.

Bees are usually employed as manu-
facturers of honey, which is every
where considered delicious food, but
there are places where the bees them
selves serve as a food.
The negroes of Guiana, when stung
by bee, proceed to catch as many as
they can and in revenge eat them. 1t

CHAPTER X.
The Stonjnd,


Never before since he had taken up
his work of redemption had Philip
MacCauley found the hours so long
and so difficult to live through. Day
after day he canoed to the place Tony
had promised to meet him. only to re-
turn to Ithaca more at sea than ever
He had the sickenlng idea that the
girl he had grown to love was again
in the clutches of her brute Of ia
Their and Reginald Brown.
Tony, too, began to lose the high
spirits that had returned almost i'm
mediately after her escape from the
cana! boat. The gray eyes grew dark
ly clrcled, the lovely mouth seemed to
have lost the power to smile.
Paul PendlehaSen noted all this with
apprehension. He questioned the girl
time after time, asking her If she felt
well, if there was anything she wanted,
but she always replied in the negative.
One day after they had had their
dinner, he sat looking at her curiously.
She was close to the window reading
a book, when he caused her to look up
by calling her name.
run downstairs, Tony dear" he
went on, "and tell my brother to come
up here before Office hours, will you,
honey?"
The girl rose, laying aside her book.
She dreaded venturing into Mrs. Cur
it's presence and shivered when she
remembered the critical Katherine who
looked her over with supercillous tole-
ration whenever they happened to
meet. But she made no complaint and
went slowly downstairs.
The dining room door was closed. but
the sound of voices from within told
her the family was at dinner. She
opened the door slowly and stepped
inside. For one moment her vision
was obscured by the fright that sud-
denly took possession Of her. AS the
blur cleared from her eyes, she saw
John Pendlehaven smiling at her. Then
a sharp ejaculation from some one else
swung her gaze from the Doctors face,
and II settled ou-Philip MacCauley.

II was because she had passed
through such a dreadful night and was
so terribly tired that she cried a little
as a child cries after 1t has been cruel
ly punished.
Paul Pendlehaven let his thin hand
drop on the frowsly head. Tears stung
his own lids like nettles.

pretty child, I've waited all night for
you. My God, what's happened to

Tony covered her face with her
hands.

moaned. II can't tell anything now.

Sudden strength came to Paul Pen
dlehaven. He sat up straight and
forcibly lifted the pitiful hurt face so
he could look at It,

mand you to tell me what happened
to you. Tell me instantly. If knew,
l could take steps to punish the ruftian
who dared to do this thing"
That was just what Tony didn't
want. Hadn't she sworn to Edith In
the presence of the infinite Christ that
good Shepherd who had given up His
life for His sheep, that no matter
what Uriah did she wouldn't peach on
him?
The tears were still rolling down
her cheeks from under lowered lids.
"You have so helped me, Tony" con-
tinued Pendlehaven, "and yet you re-
fuse to let me do what I can"
She tried to think Of something to
comfort him.
but sometimes daddies and hus-
bands beat their women folks" she ex-
planned.
"Then your father whipped you"
quizzed the doctor.
"That I can't tell" said the girl
Don't make me. Oh, Lordy,
I'm all tuckered out"
1t was of no use to put questions
any more, thought Pendlehaven. He
was persuaded that her father had
done this dreadful thing.
At eight o'clock, when DR.. John
Pendlehaven softly entered the sick

room he found his brother In sound
s!umber, and Tony Devon, her face
discolored with bruises, fast asleep in
the chair by the bedside.
1t was a stubborn Tony that faced
Doctor John that morning. Adroitly he
tried to draw from her the reason for
her extreme paleness, for the dark
marks stretched across her face, and
the meaning of the shudders that sud
denly attacked her.
II can't TELL" she reiterated in dis
tress as she had to his brother "Please
don't ask me-"
That her mother was dead, she firm
ly believed. This she did tell the doc
tor between many sobs and tears.
"Tll never see her ever any MORE"
she told him TREMENDOUSLY. "And II
you'll let me, I'll live here forever and
forever and take care Of Doctor Paul"

you had seen how he grieved last
night, you wouldn't have made that

EYES," said Tonnibel, honestly, "but

Philip, OF the hours he had held her
against his breast, Of the kiss In the
mornings dawn, and she fell into
bashful silence.
When Doctor Pendlehaven told Mrs.
Curtis that Tony had returned, her
face drew down In sulky frown.
"But we needn't care" Katherine
said afterward, "she doesn't bother us
much. For my part I can't see how

a thousand women came to town as
delegates to some sort of a talkfeSt,
and the citizens were asked to furnish
them with board and lodging during
their stay. These danes came to town
logged out in purple and fine linen and
bespangled with precious stones, and
most of them had money in every
pocket, yet not one of them thought of
going to a hotel and paying her way
like a little man. In the bunch were
the wives of bankers and laundrymen
and editors, and other VIGOROUSLY
wealthy citizens, and they were such
poor sports that they were willing to
accept a handout rather than loosen
up a few bones at the caravansary.
There were six of these female del
egates at our house. Aunt Julia goes
the limit when 1t comes to hospitality.
When she first heard that the women
of the town were expected to take care
of the delegates she said she would
take care of two of them. A day or
two later she sent word that she could
provide for four and then she conclud-
ed she could handle six, and if she had
had few more days, she'd have vol
unteered to take charge Of the whole
convention. She's a good sport, even
If all the rest of the women are four
flushers.
"The six women arrived on time and
the look of them gave me chills and
fever They were fierce old relics with
tortoiseshell combs In their hair. l
was hoping our delegates might be
young and attractive, but these women
all had false teeth and large feet.
81 was expected to live In the COW
stable during their stay, and before
they came protested bitterly, but af-
ter seeing them l was perfectly salts
fed with the arrangement. Aunt Julia
actually gave up her comfortable bed
room and slept on cot in the kitchen.
She had been busy for days fixing up
things so the women would be comfort
able.
"You should have seen those six
women when they came down for
the first morning they were
there. They looked as sour as though
they had just been given ten days on
the rockpile. They began grumbling
among themselves, taking care to talk
loud enough for Aunt Julia to hear.
One said she had always been used
to a good big pillow, and she couldn't
sleep on a pillow the size Of pin
cushion. If strangers ever stayed
over night at her house, she said, they
would be given real pillows, and not
craven images.
another old hag said the bed she
slept In kept her awake all night with
it's creaking and groaning. It evidently
needed oillng. She didn't believe that
any woman with proper self-respect
would let a guest have such bed.
Aunt Julia listened for while, and
I could hear her teeth grating like a
coffee milt. After a while she went
upstairs and gathered all the hand
bags and other traps belonging to those
beldames, and put them on the porch,
and when the women were done eat
ing she led them out and showed them
their junk, and invited them to go
down to the railway yards and find
lodging in a box car"
