been graded and bridges and culverts
built (but not according to contract)
and the state road department have
contracted to put in the base but are
extremely slow in executing it. In
fact have not started. They also
agreed to put on the finishing coats
and complete the road when funds
may be available which may mean
little or much.

BURT DEMANDS AN
ACCOUNTING FROM
ROAD DEP ARTMENT
Says Road No. 3 Being
Consistently Ignored
by State Board

F. NJ. Burt, of DeLeon Springs, in
signed article in the DeLand News
demands that the State Road Depart
ment state why it has not carried out
it's agreement to construct that Sec
ton of the road between DeLeon
Springs and DeLand, and why it is
consistently ignoring all appeals for
aid for the entire st. Johns Scenic
Highway. He says:
The road department has the acts
and commissions of their predecessors
to contend with; they have various
influences brought to bear on them
that tend to scatter their energies
and funds; and, criticism that is just
and UNJUST. However, we all have
our troubles and, at this stage of the
game they know or ought to know
that with the funds now available or
that will probably be available for
long time to come that all state and
state aid roads will not be standard
lied their entire length for many
years, and, that the logical and prac
teal plan is to concentrate work up
on the main state roads known as
roads l, 2, 8, 4, 5, 6, and 8 and re-
fuse to consider any new projects un-
til those roads are finished.
It is also known that of the state
roads, Nos. 2, and are the ones
which accommodate the most travel
and will for years to come. 1t is also
well known that these three roads
are in had condition. That is, road No.
2 is in poor condition between Ocala
and Lake City, large extensive
stretch; road No. from DeLeon
Springs to Jacksonville is in bad
shape in some links but for a COM
paratively short distance; and, road
No. from Ormond to Jacksonville,
long expensive stretch is in poor con-
dition.
Judge H. B. Philips, chairman of
the state road department, in an ad
dress to the American Automobile
association delegates, in January said
in part, that there could be built in
one year system of roads that
would enable the people of Florida to
travel in comfort to south Florida
not hard surface them-but get them
in condition for travel. He mention
ed roads 2 and 4 but said nothing
about road No. 3. By looking at the
state road map it will be seen that
road No. 3 is the shortest route; goes
through the most populated and pro-
ductiye land, and, can be made safe
and comfortable to travel from Jack
sonville to DeLand with less expen-
diture of time and money than any
other route South of DeLand the
roads are in servicible shape to trav-
ell over to Orlando and from which
point the traveller may proceed over
good roads to either the West or East
coasts or central Florida. Road No.
8 is not only a state road but is an
Interstate road as it connects with
road No. running from Jacksonville
to the Waycross road at the Georgia
line and with road No. l running
from Jacksonville to Lake City and
thence over road No. 2 from Lake

The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-01-01

TVERBODY knows what bril-. F, liant social triumph Mrs. Cor
 nelius Vanderbilt scored on her recent extended visit to England. For months the cables were kept buzzing with reports of the favor with which she and her daughter Grace and her distinguished husband were received by some of the mightiest of England's titled nobility and how they were showered with attentions, even by the royal family itself.
 But to think that it was all easy sail ing for Mrs. Vanderbilt-that she did not encounter many embarrassing and discouraging difficulties in her progress over England's social seas-is as far from the truth as the Vanderbilt family's humble origin is from its present power and affiuence.
 Since the return of the Vanderbilts to America many facts are coming out which plainly show how many embar- rassing, disheartening and often really humiliating difficulties Mrs. "Corny" had to contend with in the task of lift ing herself and her family to a lofty po-
 The inside story of Mrs. Vanderbilt's recent career abroad, as told by other Americans who had the opportunity of watching it at close range, is an inter- esting revelation of the countless dfi- culties one of our society queens has to face when she goes hohnobbing with lords and ladies, dukes and duchesses, kings and queens.
 With all her millions, all her matronly charm, all her well known talent for so- cial life, Mrs. Vanderbilt found it no easy matter to. smooth out some of these difficulties. There were many which were 50 perplexing and so full of em- barrassment for her that they are not at all pleasant to recall.
 Perhaps the worst of the embarrass- ments which Mrs. Vanderbilt had to en- dure during her stay in England is the one that came on the occasion of what is heralded as her greatest triumph the dinner party at which she and her husband had as their guest for the first time the Prince of Wales.
 When the Prince said that he would be glad to accept the Vanderbilts' hospital ity and sample the cooking of the corps of chefs they had brought with them from New York, Mrs. Vanderbilt was delighted. To have the Prince as din ner guest would go long way toward making the family's position in Eng lands highest social circles secure, and she was particularly pleased over the advantages that might accrue from this honor to her daughter Grace.
 Perhaps-well, nobody can blame such
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-01-01

an ambitious mother as Mrs. Vanderbilt is for secretly building some hopes on the well known fact that a marriageable daughter often finds the beginning of her love match at the family dinner table and that not Ninfrequently it is the guest of honor who is captivated by her charms during the leisurely progress from soup to nuts.
 Of course, Mrs. Vanderbilt understood perfectly we'll that when royalty deigns to accept an invitation to dinner or any other function it is only on condition that the hosts submit in advance list of the other guests. This precaution is al- ways insisted upon in order that royalty may be assured of just the sort of com panionship it likes best.
 As you may be sure, General and Mrs. Vanderbilt took the greatest pains in preparing their list of invitations for the Prince of Wales's approval. They went over it again and again, calling their daughter into consultation and seeking the advice of friends who have had more experience with the Princes tastes in the matter of dinner-table companions.
 When a messenger from the Prince returned the list of invitations Mrs. Vanderbilt was overjoyed to see that he had not stricken out single name. But the next minute her joy changed to dis may when she saw the names of the two young women whom the Prince wished to have added to the august assemblage of lords and ladies, great millionaires and fashionable debutantes who the Van derbilts were to invite to dine.
 It was the Dolly Sisters-the twin dancing stars who were then twinkling nightly in London musical comedy pro- duction called "Ths League of Notionsl"
 To say that Mrs. vandeNlt was dum- founded is an all too feeble description of her state of mind.
 Of course, she knew perfectly well who the Dolly Sisters are. Both in London and New York she had often attended theaters where they have been appear ing, and like millions of other theater- goers she has long been an admirer of their graceful dancing, their petite fig ures, their charming, girlish ways.
 But the acknowledged ability of Ros- zika and Yancsi Dolly on the stage is one thing and their presence at the most important dinner party the Vanderbilts ever gave is quite another. The mere thought of their being included in what was to have been the most exclusive list of invitations she had ever issued was enough to send Mrs. "Corny's" aristo- cratic eyebrows flying upward as far as they could go.
 The Dolly Sisters! Why even the mil lionaire under whose patronage these

ous mistake in the management of their knives and forks
 But the Dolly Sisters fell from the height to which they had risen in Mrs. "Corny's" estimation as soon as the Prince of Wales arrived. No sooner had the Prince paid his respects to his host and hostess and their daughter and made a rather casual round of the guests than he retired with the vaudeville twins, one

bilt, Miss Muriel Astor and other fash ionable debutantes, who had boon look ing forward to pleasant tete-a-tsts with the Prince, were left to amuse them selves as best they could with tho other guests. And poor Mrs. Vanderbilt, after having humbled her pride by inviting these young ladies of the stage, was forced to lower 1t still further by the complete monopoly she saw them making of her guest of honor.
 But there was still greater embar- rassment awaiting her in what should have been her hour of unalloyed tri- umph.
 The editing of the list of invitations is not the only privilege . member of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-01-01
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, who had to keep her dinner guests waiting until everything was cold while
 the Prince listened to the
 chatter of the Dolly twins

twin stars are said to have made their original appearance on Broadway-the late Diamond Jim" Brady-ncver moved in those ultra exclusive circles where the Vanderbilts reign.
 Of course, Mrs. Vanderbilt reserved her expressions of surprise and dismay for the ears of her husband and daugh- ter. Outside the privacy of her hone there was nothing for her to do except look pleasant and pretend there was nothing she liked better than having the dancing twins for her guests. She un- derstood that a request from royalty is virtually . command, and to refuse to obey it would be a thing unthinkable.
 So Mrs. Vanderbilt swallowed her pride and duly dispatched invitations 10 the pretty dancers. Whatever hope she may have nursed that they would be un- able to be present was killed when the Dolly Sisters promptly accepted
 The night of the great dinner came, and among the first of the guests to be ushered into the Vanderbilt drawing room were Miss Roszika Dolly and sister Yancsi Their hostess was greatly re- licved to seee how charming the twins were and how well bred their manners. They were gowned quite as attractively as any of the rich and fashionable de- butantes. In the way they behaved Mrs. Vanderbilt's discerning eye could not see the slightest indication of any danger that they would be guilty of some griev-

 Soon from this cozy retreat was heard the ? sound of girlish gig gles and manly laugh ter that told of good stories, amusing sx- periences and spicy bits of gossip being ex- changed. Apparently the Prince and the vaudeville twins were on terms of as easy fla miliarity as if they had been old college chums.
