Tests have been made in Washing
ton and elsewhere, showing conclu-
sively that hard-surfaced roads mean
thousands Of dollars saving for the
owners Of cars. There is no differ
ence in consumption Of gasoline be-
tween asphalt and concrete roads;
but between these and gravel roads
in good condition-the consumption
is from 10 to IS per cent greater.
The same holds good in economy OF
tire and other automobile wear and
tear. Good roads hard-surfaced rap
idly pay for themselves.

tinctive Pictures great features OF
1928, distributed by Goldwyn, is COM
ing to the Nixon Theatre on Monday.
This picture is one of the most spec
tacular stories of the South Seas re-
leased this year, and promises to be
at the top in beautiful and artistic
photography of Southern Pacific and
Chinese scenes.
"The Ragged Edge" is by Harold
MacGrath, an author Of international
fame. The story is of "two young
FOOLS" one running away from injus-
tice and the second from justice. They
meet in the city of Canton, China. The
boy collapses in the hotel lobby and
is nursed back from the ragged edge
of death and destruction by the girl.
These two waits of fate marry. They
are befriended by South Sea trader,
who takes them to his faraway is
land. The husband, however lis kept
from his wife by sinister shadow
that lies across his remorseless con-
science-he is a fugitive and believes
it unfair to mar her life. But in a
series of breathless episodes they are
finally brought together. The hero
role is ably played by Alfred Lunt,
known as one of the handsomest act
ors on the stage today. He is best

80 Boys and Girls in
Club Work Course

After four days instruction and
pleasure the eighty boys and girls,
members of various clubs in the three
counties, who attended the Short
Course at the University of Delaware,
last week, returned to their homes on
Saturday. State Club Leader, A. d.
Cobb, mapped out program this year
with the idea in view to develop lead
ership among the young club members
so that they could assist their fellow
club members when they returned
home.
Earl Meredith, of Greenwood, and
Grace Souders, of Pennington, two OF
the club members, spent most OF the
week at College Park, Nd, as guests
of the Boys and Girls Clubs OF that
State who were holding their short
course at the University of Maryland
at the same time. The Maryland
clubs sent three of their number to
Delaware, the plan being to exchange
ideas on the work.
In many respects it was the most
successful Short Course that has yet
been held and this line of work among
the sons and daughters Of farmers is
bringing good results.
Owing to many counter attractions
such as Big Thursday at Bowers
Beach and Oak Orchard, the attend
ance at Farmers Day last Thursday at
the University of Delaware Expert
ment Farm, Newark, was not near as
large as usual. Those who did attend
however had a pleasant day. Address
es were made by Dean Charles A. Nc
Cue, Professor H. J. Baker, director
of extension in New Jersey and Josiah
Marvel, of Wilmington. Mary Jones of
Georgetown and Edward Under, OF
Greenwood, two club members also
gave talks telling what the clubs are
doing for the boys and girls of the
State.

''THE FAITH HEALER"

Several extraordinary features in
connection with "The Faith Healer"
which will be shown at the Plaza
Theatre next Wednesday and Thurs
day make it one of the most notable
examples of the screen art produced
by George Melford this season. The
play was written by the late William
Vaughn Moody, a playwright of note.
The theme is one Of the most compel
ling ever conceived by dramatist,
and it discusses the problem Of wheth-
er man with great work or mis-
sion in life should sacrifice the joys
and pleasures of life, even love it
self, and devote all his energies to his
mission. The story presents in clear,
truthful form the great truth of heal
ing by faith. A beautiful romance is
developed in the story. The picture is
one of great emotional and dramatic
intensity.
