WARDEN REAL HERO
TO HIS PRISONERS
Sam Hill Given Surprise Party
by Local Convicts in
Missouri Goal.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo, Feb. 5.
Sam Hill. warden OF the Missouri
penitentiary was in his Office this
afternoon when a convict runner
appeared at the door.
The boys want you down al the
chapel" ne said.
The warden went 10 the chapel.
Ii was packed. Virtually every one
of 1900 prisoners was in his seat
for the weekly movie show. The
usual announcements were being
flashed on the screen AS the war
den entered. the buzz of converse
ton stilled.
Suddenly on the screen:
Three cheers for our beloved
warden"
Tn one great movement. every
man in the hall leaped 10 his feet
and began cheering. Amid the din
a life-termer seized the warden 10y
the arm and dragged him down an
aisle 10 the stage. The convict or
chestra struck up THE Star Span

frOi1pt reverence TO OOlOrS.
No army ever came 10 attention
with more snap than this army OF
outcasts. They stood reverently
silent as the orchestra played the
national anthem. Then pandemon-
ium. The galleries and lower floor
quaked under the thump Of thous-
ands OF feet. and the roar Of cheer
was deafening. II continued until
the warden was dragged out onto
the stage.
Silence again. Warden Hill was
speechless. He stood looking out
over the crowd moment then
stepped back with a wave of his
broad brimmed hat This swelled
the noise The warden was grow
ing nervous. He tugged at the arm
of o. 3. Barton. i'm charge Of the
prison commissary. Barton stepped
out to the edge Of the stage and held
up his hand

LASALLE

From French heels 10 moccasins,
from orchids 10 pine trees. from
ball rooms 20 log cabins, the story
OF vivid contrasts IN Iige and OF
the realities which are the same
with rich and poor. the sophisticat-
ed and the uncultured. "Conceit"
is the second and most recently re-
leased Of the SeTznick series Of mas
terpieces. and il is now offering La
Sale patrons an exceptional treat
I'm the way OF lavishly produced
photoplays with plots taken from
real life.
The story surrounds a man whose
whole character might be summed
up in two words, conceit and fear.
II is conceit that makes him Tur-
chase as his wife the society belle
his riches procure for him, it Is
cruelty and selfshness that makes
him neglect her. but it is lack Of
courage that keeps him from inter-
fering when he sees her developing
an affair with another man.
Going on a hunting expedition he
encounters a beauty of the wild
woods. Again conceit tells him it
is easy to take her from the man
she lives with: again il is fear that
makes him refuse the issue and
which brings a sneer OF contempt
10 the girls face. Realizing his
weakness, the man starts out to
conquer Il in order to win this girl
but the results Of the steps he takes
are surprising even 20 himself.

In clearing out the garret of an old
home in North Milford, John Curry
came across an old quart fiat flask
glass bottle, which is something of a
curiosity. On one side of the glass
is a profile of General Washington,
surrounded by the words, "Father of
His Country" On the opposite is a
profile of General Taylor, encircled
with the words-"General Taylor New
er Surrenders." The glass is of a
semi-clear grade and the workman
ship is excellent. 1t was made at the
Dyottville Glass Works, Philadelphia,
which is disclosed by the letters blown
in the glass. John Curry has been
offered SIS by curiosity dealer for
the bottle-but thinks that possibly il
may be of greater value to some col

NO SUMNER DUCK SHOOTING
Closed Season Will Continue While
Longer DEGREES U. S. Senate

The close season on wood ducks,
which has been in effect since 1918
under the provisions of the migratory
bird treaty act, will continue during
the hunting season this fall, according
to the Bureau of Biological Survey of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. These birds may not be
killed anywhere in the United States.
The wood duck, or summer duck as it
is commonly known in many localities,
is one of the most beautiful of native
game birds, and breeds practically
throughout the United States. Former
ly it was threatened with extinction,
but under the protection afforded by
the migrator bird treaty act during
the past few years its numbers are
now beginning to show an increase.
Elder ducks and swans are also pro-
tected throughout the year.

dents Of lower New Castle County,his
age being 80 years, died of general de-
bility at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. William Reynolds, near Black

year, but up until a few weeks be-
fore the end came was able to walk
around and go on short trips to see
his relatives and friends, especially
those of whom resided in the imme-
diate neighborhood of his daughters
home. He was a Civil War veteran,
having been sergeant. Mr.. Stats
who has been a resident of Blackbird
for many years, was of a kindly dis
position and his many good traits of
character, as known in his daily life,
were a pronounced factor in his per-
sonality that steadily gained friends
and was bound to hold their friend
ship. His wife died several years ago
but besides Mrs. Reynolds, he is sur
vived by another daughter, Mrs.Stan-
ley Matthews, of Still Pond, Nd, and

LINCOLN HIGHWAY LEADING
|. INTO NEWARK DELAYED BY R. R.
OVERHEAD BRIDGE AT LAM
BROOK HARDLY STARTED
Was to Have Been Finished August 1
and Then Sept-COunty Ready to
Lay Road When R.R. Finishes

Lay Road When R.R. Finishes
Dissatisfaction is becoming general |
over the delay by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, in construc- |
ton of an overhead bridge over the
new Lincoln Highway, at LumbroOk,
Just outside of Newark. Not only is |
the travelling public put to much in
convenience by inability to open the
new road into Newark because of
tardy bridge construction by the rail-
road company but many automobile
touring parties who ordinarily would
visit Wilmington and stop and pos
sibly shop in that city are now shun-
ming the city and taking the Kennett
Square and Oxford route, rather than
bump their way over the old road out
! side Newark.
There is a general feeling that the
railroad company, which has been
doing practically nothing on the over
head bridge work since August Z,
should be compelled to finish the
bridge at once. County Engineer
Grubb is ready to open the new road
into Newark three or four days after
the railroad company finishes the
overhead bridge.
County Engineer Grubb last week
sent a letter to Richard Mather, dis
trict engineer of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company at Baltimore,
suggesting that ne increase the pres
1t gang of four men, one of whom
, is a cripple, at work on the overhead
bridge being erected by that company
t at Lumbrook. The present gang of
. four men was placed at work on the
| improvements on Tuesday, but accord
: ing to road supervisors employed by
/ the Levy Court, they cease work at
. o'clock in the afternoon.
Engineer Grubb said that because
of the delay on the part of the rail
road company in furnishing the
: bridge rails it would require at least
= another month before the stretch OF
f new roadway at Lumbrook construct
ed by the county could be opened t
1 the public.
In his letter to Mr.. Mather, Mr.
o Grubb also requested that the force
o of men at work on the new bridge bC
v worked longer hours, whereby tn,
, project can be hurried to completion
: The schedule as prepared by tn,
railroad company and approved b!
- the county engineers office, required
f that the new bridge being built b!

A New Chemise, So

This charming new envelope
chemise is on straight lines, ex-

side, of circular panel. The
Rosa thus serves two purposes
that of the regular envelope
chemise and of the short under
petticoat that most discriminat-
ing women like to wear. Being of
soft batiste in a woven self
check, the slight fullness at the
lower edge is by no means bulky.
The Rosa is finished with a

lace; hemstitched shoulder straps
and a ribbon bow. In pink or
