'The Couered Wagon Definite
 Story or The Old Oregon Trail

tains were almost invariably elderly men, probably exactly of the type of Molly Wingate's father, as portrayed by Charles Ogle in "The Covered Wagon"
 The family and communal life of the central regions was taken up bodily, so to speak, and transported west Nothing quite like it in mod ern days, though the comparatively recent irruption of Iowa into south ern California offers a faint resem- blance.
 Many a migrating housewife or daughter learned to drive as skill fully as her husband or parent. Of such was Molly Wingate, the pretty wagon driver who is the heroine of the play, coming to the Jefferson theatre MondaA night. November 19, with daily marnees thereafter. One of these self-reliant pioneer girls often held the reins all day, then helped her mother with the cooking and the chores at night. To the small brother-Jed Wingate in this case were assigned the care of the cows and the job of whipping up the heavy-footed oxen.
 The caravans always camped near water f possible. Cooking was done on wood fires made in the open. The larder was a corner of the prairie schooner. and the diners ate around the camp fires. After the meal. banjo playing, dancing and singing entertained the younger folk.
 The doctor, the minister, the black smith, the wagon mender, and the veterinary were important members of every outfit Babies were born under the canopies. Deaths and burials occurred. Young folks got married Tn fact. life went on awheei exactly as in these nomadie Aryon communities of the Old World, from whom. the pioneer forty-niners were remotely sprung.

NE w BUILDING FOR' SLEyPROJECTE:D.
Citizens Boost Proposed New Unit Of Howard
 School
ENsLEY BUREAU THE AGE-HERALD

 i It was stated in Ensley Saturday that there would be erected on the corner of Avenue r and Nineteenth street two-story building by Jack , E. Lindsay, the construction to start within short time That the upper floor would be used exclusively for physicians and that several leases have already been executed was also understood as one ofsthe develop ments in that improvement The lower floor, it is stated, will be oc cupied by drug store
 The site is a portion of the half block from Avenue to the alley on the north of which stores have been | or will be erected for the account of Jack Lindsay. Three of the stores are now nearing completion and will be occupied within 30 days. On ac- count of leases on the remainder of 1 the property to the avenue, no con struction can begin until these ex pire. This is said to be the req son for delay in construction. The site in question is now a desirable one, but will be even more so when the gap Is completed in the Eighth ave- nue road from Owenton to Ensley Traffic taken off Third avenue by the Eighth avenue road will most likely turn west at Avenue F and Eighteenth street. thus throwing this corner into a strategic location so far as traffic is 'concerned. It is also stated that the road from Fairfield and Pratt City on which this store will be located will effectively i'm prove that situation.
 From all indications this construc- tion is expected to be the forerunner of additional work for 1924. Plans already under way or in projection would indicate that Ensley will be a kNNY a1@A building is concerned. At this time the construction includes several stores and the Presbyterian church. to be followed by the Baptist church costing s150000. There Is expected to follow the Howard High school, which will necessitate the construc- tion of at least two dormitories, while the Kiwanis club and others in Ensley believe that a Y. NJ c. A. or similar association will be under way during the early part of the year. These projects do not take into con- sideration plans for an athletic grounds or two new schools that are destined for Ensley, on which work is expected to start soon. -Construc- tion of homes in the meantime con- tinues without let-up, providing hum dreds of men with work and also de- veloping the residential sections of Ensley at an amazing rate of speed.
 In this connection, it was gratify- ing to local business men to receive information during the past week that industrial Ensley is In tip-t top shape for 1924. That the furnaces and steel plant will be just as busy as they can be for the new year is evidenced by statements made infor- mally that orders on hand at this time are sufficient to provide opera tions for the greater part of 1924 whether any more are received or not. This is also expected to prove true of other industrial operations in this section.

MEETING poSrpn,NEn

The committee from the Kiwanis club scheduled to meet Saturday morning to begin an inquiry into means of handling that work, found that the football games had proved irresistible to several of the mem bers, hence a postponement until Monday at 10 o'clock was ordered. Chairman D. P. Knapp, said Satur- day that interest in the Ensley- Woodlawn game and the Centre Auburn game was shared by nearly everyone in this city and the meet ing was called off, It was an- nounced that the members of the committee would meet Monday and that active steps would be taken to thresh out the long deferred T. M. C. A, proposition and that until a permanent building was available it would perhaps be found consistent to provide temporary measures
