Passing Of Wooden Indians

am constantly getting letters
from correspondents who ask me>to
write about the disappearance of the
wooden Indian from cigar stores.
1t Is a sad story, and told too
often to be again repeated. The
Indian came as tobacco sign be-
cause he gave the white man
tobacco.
But he vanished as an advertise
ment because he was hard to get in
wood since the olden-time wood
carvers had themselves gone out Of
business. and metal Indians were
more expensive.
A cigar store in Sixth street. above
Chestnut, had the last Of the Mo-
bicans" In this town. That Indian
had taken first prize at the centen-
NAL.
Here and there may be seen an
Indian holding out a handful of
cigars, but none can compare in
magnificence with the Sixth street
brave. who disappeared only a few
years ago. 1
OF all trades and shops, only three
had signs which were universally
the same. The Indian for tobacco
shops. the striped pole for barber
shops and the mortar and pestie, and
later the vessels OF brightly. lighted
colored water In drug stores.-Phila-
delphia Enquirer.

Baby Peggy Goes Over Big In Her
First Feature Picture

It's astonishing the amount of
drama that can be woven around
the life of little child, logical drama
that has deep. human interest APP
peal: more astonishing It is to find a
child whose personality can be
moulded perfectly into intensely
dramatic situa tons.
BABY Peggy Montgomery is al
most literally storm tossed through
many reels Of drama in her first
Cniversal-Jewel production, "The
Darling of New York." which opened
yesterday at the Colonial theatre. So
carefully has the baby star been
handled throughout the picture, that
there is never a moment in the play
when the interest lags. Attention is
always conferred on her or her rag
doll which has such an important
significance in the embodiment of the
story.
There is plenty of comedy to ball
ance the drama and the entire pic
ture is filed with entertainment. A

State Highway
Maintenance Work
For Winter Months

Maintenance Of State highways Is
getting to be pretty nearly . II
month job The Highway Commits
sion each winter arranges to draw
material out and either windrow 1t
on the shoulder Of the road or stack
it in piles for future use wherever
this can be done economically. In
many places IL II possible to secure
gravel or sand for covering surface
treatment In the winter ume on q
much shorter haul than Ii the case
in the summer, due to the fact that
on many miles OF State highwa- all
gravel and sand within Q reasonable
distance OF the highway has been
exhausted. Some pits. however, are
available when hauling can be done
across frozen swamps.
At the present time the commits
sion II drawing material in Benton
and for two or three weeks have
had about q dozen teams employed
in this work, stacking gravel where
it can be handily reached In the
spring.
AZ Newcastle, on the eastern end
of the Marsh Stream bridge, So
called, on State Highway 3D." where
thesold crib work has been settling
for the last year or 3d. the CON-
mission have during the past two
or three weeks drawn large quanti-
ties OF stone and sustained the sides
of the old fill with a heavy stone fill.
Extra material Is being brought and
piled along the shoulders which can
be used for filling the crib at any
sign OF failure.
Arrangements have also been per-
fected for drawing sand along some
sections of State highway to be used
in the surface treatment OF roads
during the coming spring.
Doing hauling work during the
winter season IL advantageous In
two ways: It furnishes work for men
and teams at q season Of the year
when there Is not any especial ac-
tivity in many sections. and in con-
sequence allows this work to be done
ut q reasonable cost; 1t also provides
for doing necessary work at q sea-
son OF the year when the roads are
not filled with motor traffic. and
consequently there Is little interior
cnce with regular traffic; and above
all else. the work is done economi-
cally and after being completed is
just SO much work out Of the way
when the busy season Is upon the
department.

full whether action can be obtained
on these most important measures
at the coming session of Congress,
which convenes on Monday, the sur
plus bill is of particular interest to
Washingtonians since, in the event
of it's passage in the House. it will
end the long fight to make available to
the District the S4,43S,15492 In un-
expended taxes, which has been ac-
