STRAW HATS EMPTY:
HENCE, NO OBITUARY

FOND DU LAC.-Admiratio of the
great outdoors, inspired by a magnifi-
cent May moon, led Louis Eohl to
seek rest with steel rails as his bed
springs. While ordinarily not a
single train CHANGED on this track, it
so happened that on this bright even
ing, a switch engine slowly wound its
way down the steel roadway. Nor
pheus had won Louis over, and not
even the train could disturb his slum-
Der. After the train had gone by
Louis awoke to find his fingers badly
mangled But, worst Of all, the en-
gine's wheels had crushed his brand
new straw hat. However, the otraw
hat was not on Louis head.

secretary OF the National CONNECTION
ers' Association. The savings bank
is the institution profiting most from
the closing of the licensed saloon,
said Mr.. Hughes. The soft drink
business comes second, the ice CT cam
business third, and the movies and
theatres in general fourth. It's true
that the sugar in candy is a partial
satisfaction to the craving for alcohol.

AT the MOUieS
AT THE PALACE THEATRE

Friday and Saturday-"The Fire
Eater'-Those who have watched the
rise of Louise Lorraine have propheci-
ed that this little leading woman would
some day be a star of wide popularity.
On Friday and Saturday she will be
seen at the Palace Theatre in support
of HOOt Gibson in "The Fire Eater"
throughout the picture, it is said, her
sweetness and charm are features.
Miss Lorraine has done everything
that a young actress could do to gaia
that broad experience on which stellar
success must be built She has been
the leading feminine player in many
a two-reel western photoplay and in
a great number of comedies, besides
playing supporting roles in any num-
ber of feature attractions. In "The
Fire Eater" she appears opposite the
star in a part which is said to fit her
abilities perfectly. 1t is an outdoor
story and one knows instinctively
what an attractive quality her per-
sonality will have against the back
ground of the California timber valley
that is the locale of the yarn. Reaves
Eason directed the filming of Harvey
Gates continuity of a plot evolved by
Ralph Cummins. The chief players
supporting HOot Gibson and Miss
Lorraine are Tom Lingham, Carmen
Phillips, Fred Lancaster, George Ber-
rell Walter Perry, Bradley Ward AMI
| George B. Williams.

seek Extra senators and Extra
Representatives In Tentative Bill
The next session of the State Leg
islature will be asked to give Will
mington a representation of five Sem
atOrs and ten Representatives, it was
decided by a nOn-partisan committee
meeting in Mayor Harvey'S Office Mon
day afternoon. At present Whining
ton has only two Senators and five
Representatives although it has more
than One-half of the population of the
State. The question of asking the
Legislature for increased representa-
tion was placed in the hands of a
special committee, which will take up
the question with the Republican and
Democratic City Committees. The
chairman of both parties attended the
meeting Monday afternoon. Accord
ing to a tentative bill the Ninth Ward
will represent one senatorial district,
while the remainder of the city will be
divided into four equal senatorial dis
| tricts. Each senatorial district, ac-
cording to the proposed plan, is to
have two representatives. While Will
mingtonians who are interested in the
proposed change insist that the two
lower counties have control of the leg
| islation for the State and use it
against the better interests of Will
mington, the members of the Legisla-
ture from Kent and Sussex Counties
deny these charges. Preparations are
already being made by the down-State
Senators and Representatives to fight
! the plan.

NOTED to head his own company be-

Gilbert brings to stardOm long ex-
perience on both stage and screen; in
fact, he is another of those who went

man is Barbara Bedford, who soon af-

DOVER BUSINESS MEN SHOWN
TELEPHONE HAS PROGRESSED
DEMONSTRATION BEFORE TH1
DOVER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Telephone Operators of Kent County
There-Minature Switchboard of
Latest Development is Used

The working of a central telephone
exchange was demonstrated to the
members of the Chamber of Com
merce at Dover at their meeting in the
Century Club on Wednesday evening
by a corps of experts from the Dia-
mOnd State Telephone Company The
demonstration was arranged by L. NJ.
GOucher, the retiring local manager
of the company. A miniature switch
board of the type used in the eXchang-
es, was placed on the stage and sew
eral phones were placed about the
room. Ed p. Bardo, general business
manager of the company, opened the
demonstration with an illustrated adj
dress showing pictures of the first
telephone and exchange and the pro-
gress made since the telephone was
invented. Harry Haggerty, plant wire
chief at Dover office Of the company
explained many causes for poor sec-
vice. He urged his hearers to al
ways keep the telephone in an up
! right position when using it in order
to permit clear conversation. Miss
J Rose c. Kelly, Miss Mae Drain, L. +.
Williams and Robert Whitney, all of
Philadelphia, presented the demon
stration on the switchboard. Miss
i Kelly, an experienced toll operator,
explained long distance calls with the
advantage of making person to per-
son, number to number, messenger
and appointment calls. The time Of
long distance calls is recorded by a
calculagraph, an instrument with a
clock arrangement and Miss Kelly
urged her hearers to inform the oper-
atOr at the time of making the call if
the charges on the call are desired as
this will save both the operator and
the subscriber considerable time. Miss
Drain demonstrated the handling of
local calls in the central office. She
explained that when it is desired to
call the operators attention by mov-
ing the receiver hook up and down,
it should be done slowly as the oper-
atOr receives no signal when the hook
is moved swiftly. More than five
thousand calls are handled through
the Dover exchange daily and the
method used in completing each OF
these calls was demonstrated on the
miniature switchboard.

The burned district of Pocomoke

Rumanian Train Travel
Now Has its Dangers

GALATZ, Rumania, July 25-
Some railroad trains in Rumania
are so damned with the rowing
populace that the conductors are
powerless to collect fares. Hence
the impression is conveyed that
one may travel for nothing, which
serves only to bring larger numbers
to the already overcrowded coaches.
Like most other war-affected
countries. Rumania has not enough
passenger coaches to take care Of
the throngs of people who want to
travel. The Germans and Austrians
confscated most of the rolling stock.
Passengers today are forced to ride
on the roofs, bumpers, running
boards and even on the under
trucks of the coaches. Fist fights
and alterations, to say nothing of
accidents, fatal and otherwise, are of
frequent occurrence.
