THE GOVERNMENT OF
THE WAGON TRAINS

In the perturbation of Emerson
Hough's story, "The Covered Wagon"
which comes to the Jefferson theatre,
Sunday, September %, for limited
engagement of four days, with daily
matinee, an interesting point is
brought forward regarding the organ
ization and government of the wagon
trains in the pioneer days Mr.. Win
gate is the captain of the train con-
cerned in ''The Covered Wagon" and
in many episodes in the course of the
pictured narrative the fact is clearly
revealed that he is in supreme COM
mand and that his word is law. To
many persons, who have thought of
the migration to the West as simply a
mad, unorganized rush of settlers and
gold-seekers, this apparent despotism
of Captain Wingate may not be un-
derstandable. Yet in this, as in all
details of his story, Mr.. Hough was
true to historical fact.
The great wagon trains that made
the journey from the Missouri river
to the coast in the forties and fifties
were always under the command of an
elected captain, and to him was given
as complete authority as the authority
exercised by the captain of ship on
the high seas. This was absolutely
necessary because of the perils of the
enterprise, which could not be met
and overcome only by concerted effort.
Each wagon train was, for the time
consumed in the usually
about six months-a little world en-
tirely cut off from established law,
and it was therefore necessary that
each train should have government
and ruler of its own

THIRD STREET
CELEBRATES
ENORMOUS CROWD TAKES PART IN JOLLIFICA-
TION FOR TURNING ON LIGHTS FIRST TIME
ON HAMILTONS NEW WHITE WAY"
Beautiful Decorations, Dazzling Illumination, Musi
Everywhere, Dancing and Fowery Oratory Make
Occasion One Big Night

Zone big night, glorious night, we
put it over big" that is what the
merchants and business men of Third
street are saying to each other. AL
though it all took place on Wednesday
night they are still saying it and
slapping each other on the back and
congratulating themselves on the big
success of the celebration and iollif-
i cation of the turning on the first time
of the new lighting system on North
and South Third street, creating what
is already popularity termed "Hamil-
tons New White Way"
And well has this hustling "up-
and-doing crowd of business men and
merchants reasons for rejoicing
Thousands and thousands of people,
those who were there, agree with the
Third Street Business Boosters that it
was one big night.
AS early as six o'clock, when all
vehicular traffic was stopped from
entering Third street, between Dayton
and Sycamore streets, the crowds be-
gan gathering until at 7:30, when the
firing of bombs signalled the turning
on of the new lights, the moment long
looked forward to and waited for by
the Third street business men and
merchants, Third street from Dayton
to Sycamore streets was packed with
the wondering throngs.
For what seemed an age, when the
lights were first turned on, there was
absolute quiet and then was heard a
great murmur of abs and obs as the
people, as though struck with the
beauty and the brilliancy of the daz-
zling new lights, seemed to wake from
dream to reality and then was let
loose a mighty roar and sound of
cheers from Dayton to Sycamore
streets that could be heard for miles
as the people gave vent to their ap-
proval of the finis to the long efforts of
the Third Street Business Boosters.
Immediately after the turning on
of the new lights a half hour was
given over to rejoicing and hurrahing.
This period took on the nature of a

That's what they thought said
the gray pony. But just one beast
got just one stripe; and that was just
where he didn't want il. All that most

We Women
THOSE WERE THE DAYS."
BY BETTY BRAINERD

I wonder what kind of days the first
DAYS in this country were.
The Mayflower arrived in 1871.
Miles Standish met a young lady he
was strongly attracted TO and LOngfel-
low celebrated the courtship in verse.
What did Priscilla think of those good
old days? Or would she have preferred
20 live today:
In those days walking was not q
popular diversion for young people. The
Indians were not altOget~-. happy to
see the early Americans. and they had
habit of running walking parties with
their bows and arrows. In this respect
at least. those particular good old days
were not very good days.
Fashion magazines did not circulate
Priscilla was out Of touch with the new
es. STYLES from Paris. There were NJ
beauty shops where one could hav'
ones hands manicured and have a per
manent wave IN ones hair. Face pow
der and rouge had not come into exis
fence: besides. the Indians had contro
of the paint market.
In those days a girl did not know tn
: pleasure Of a powder puff or the Joy
of a vanity case. And in these specia
respects those days were not very goo'
days, either.
The days of Martha Washington wer
not much better. Our grandmother
DAYS were an improvement. And on
mothers tell us there were some othe
days-in the days of their girlhood-
that were the days Of days.
But am afraid that these days "
live in arc just about the best of a
days.
For today the radio brings Paris an
all its fashions into the parlor; we al
told how to become beautiful by u
radio: we listen to love songs on IL
RADIO: we are served with all the new
and scandal at breakfast, lunch and dill
ner-all our needs are satisfied by mo-
ern invention, efficiency, and industr
We have everything that Priscilla d.
not have and a million and one oth'
things besides.
These, most assuredly, and not thos
are the DAYS.
