The Moderation League reports
that drinking sin the South" has
increased 120 per cent in thirty
four cities, under prohibition.
Why pick out the South? There
is no more drinking there than
elsewhere. In any part of the
United States you can drink as
much as you like. The only trouble
is that what you drink in the way
of whiskey is a little worse poison
than it used to be.
"Why," asks a newspaper man,
"do You say it would be less dam
gerous for the Shenandoah to go
to Spitzbergen and hunt for
Amundsen than to go from Lake
hurst to Minneapolis and back?"
ANSWERS Because at this time
of year crossing the Atlantic with
the prevailing winds helping, go
ing on to Spitzbergen from Eng
land, with the Patoka waiting
there as a base, and exploring the
Arctic Ocean a few hundred miles
north would be simple. 1t would
only mean flying the big Shenan-
doah in the midsummer climate of
the Arctic, at no great distance
from her base.
A trip from New York to Mime
sofa and return through the zone
of midsummer thunderstorms will
be sufficiently safe, as helium does
not explode or burn. But it would
be more dangerous than a trip to
Spitzbergen and or North at this
season.
Careful inquiry in restaurants
shows that corned beef and cab
bage is the favorite food of the
American public.
Four thousand five hundred and
twelve votes behind came the
vegetable dinner. Nevertheless,
corned beef, excellent for chose
that live by their muscles. is not
good for thinkers.
Any process that makes DE-
CAY difficult also makes DIGES-

beef, or salt pork, your brain can

As YEARS OF BUSINESS SUCCESS
From Modest Beginning ]. 7. Mullin
< Sons, Inc, Has Become Second
in Size in America

Forty-five years of business success,
with continued development from the
very beginning, and with the absolute
confidence of the people of Whining
ton continually, is the splendid record
of James T. Mullin & Sons, Inc, whose
establishment, at the southeast corner
of Sixth and Market streets, is not
only a monument to its founder and
those who have succeeded him, but
also a cause for pride on the part of
the people, the city and this entire
trading territory. The building as it
now stands is the second largest in
the country which is devoted exclu-
sively to the handling of mems wear.
AS complete outftter for men and
boys the Mullin establishment has few
equals. The scope of the business
can be grasped from the amount of
space devoted to it. The building is
block long, Market street to King,
and runs back on Market and King
streets as far as the old Town Hall.
The business has grown to such
proportions, as family partnership,
that it has now been incorporated, the
owners, however, being members of
the family and descendants of the
founder. The corporation is capitaliz-
ed at $45O,OOO, fully paid up. J. Paul
Mullin, who, ever since the death of
his father, John S. Mullin, has been
the active head of the store, is presi-
dent of the new company and manager
of the business, devoting his entire
time to it; Dr. John H. Mullin is vice
president; Midsummer Mullin is sec
retary, and Ruel S. LoOmis, who has
been connected with the business since
boyhOod, is treasurer. These officers,
with J. Townsend Wickersham, treas
urer of the New York Shipbuilding
Co., of Camden, N. j., comprise the
board of directors.
The incorporation, it must be under
stood, has no significance, as far as
the public is concerned, except that
it means a more aggressive enforce
ment of the policy that is accountable
for the development and success of the
business. The same general basic
principles will be followed.

KENT LEVY COURT MEETS
Willow Grove Men Enter a Protest
Over Proposed Road Route

Over Proposed Road Route
At the weekly session of the Kent
County Levy Court last week large
delegation of residents from near
Willow Grove appeared before the
court, with their attorney, r. r. Ken
ney, protesting against the proposed
change of the route of the highway
running through Willow Grove to the
Maryland line by way of SandtOwn.
It appears that the first route was
through the town ow Willow Grove,
where there is at present part of a
road Because Of certain conditions
the State Highway officials thing it
would be more expensive 60 run over
the route first proposed, and have
suggested that the road take a course
at one side of the town, but will do
nothing until the Levy Court has
passed on the matter. The court Wis
tied the scene of the proposed change
and will report their findings at next
weeks meeting. The Rev. Theodore
johnson, colored, appeared before the
court, asking for a permit to hold
campmeetng at Jones Neck cOlore'
church from September 20 to 27. Th'
permit was granted. Reports of re
ceipts of county officers for Angus

This looked like lot of space, to
the outsider, to be required for

still it was not enough. Accordingly,

as an addition to the store This not
only doubled the space, but also gave
new front on King street, the city's
main curb market thOroughfare, and
an unbroken display front on Sixth
street At the some time the original
building was remodeled to make it
correspond with the addition
Ever since that time the entire

1t has been the policy of the com

only men of high standing in the COM

among the city's leading tradesmen on
their own account, their ability due, in
many cases, to the training they re-
ceived and the precepts set at the
Mullin store. It has always been the
custom of the heads of the establish
ment to take a friendly interest in the
employees. In fact, it has always

STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
OPENS FOUR MORE ROAD BIDS
ROAD FROM HARTLY TO MARY
LAND LINE TO BE BUILT
Also Approach to RehObOth, Filling in
the Last Gap Over the Newly
Built Bridge-Other Roads

Opposition to the elimination of two
grade crossings in Sussex county was
contained in two petitions, signed by
residents of Bridgeville and vicinity,
which were presented at a meeting of
the State Highway Commission held
at Dover, Wednesday. One petition
contained the signatures of IS resi-
dents and the other was signed by 81
residents. l. B. Sinclair, superinten-
dent of the Delaware Division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad and several
other railroad officials were present.
They had with them plans and blue
prints concerning the elimination of
the crossing at Bridgeville.
JIM. Tunnell Heads Sussex Delegation
James NJ. Tunnel, of Georgetown,
appeared as spokesman for a delega-
ton relative to the Gray's crossing at
Bridgeville, The principle objection
to the elimination of this crossing was
that the road is heavily travelled and
its removal would necessitate a longer
drive in taking produce to market.
ne opposition TO the removal OF
Elliott'S crossing was not as pro-
nounced and would probably be ac-
ceptable if a road was provided along
the railroad to connect with another
crossing. There was no opposition to
the elimination of the Hamburg cross
ing at Bear Station, and no one ap-
peared to protest against its ehmina-
tion. This crossing is in New Castle
county. The consideration of the
elimination of the Mill Road crossing
at Porters was also concluded without
any opposition being voiced. No def
mite action was taken by the COmmis-
sion and the decision will be made at
ter further Investigation concerning
the crossings where the removal was
opposed.

Reads Like a Romance

The origin and development of the
Mullin business reads like a romance.
James T. Mullin, one of the most sub
stantial citizens of West Chester, Pa,
in 1862, started a store there in a
modest way, locating at No. % West
Gay street. Subsequently he took into
partnership his son, the late John S.
Mullin. The business prospered. The
firm in a few years saw the wonderful
possibilities of Wilmington, then, as
now, being a hive of industry and
growing rapidly. Accordingly, on
March 25, 1880, the firm opened a store
of modest proportions at No. 9 East
Fourth street, Wilmington. 1t did not
stay there long, for it grew, and grew,
and kept on growing so rapidly that
larger quarters were necessary.
Prior to that time the Saville Build
ing, an imposing four-story structure,
at the southeast corner of Sixth and
Market streets, had been erected by
the late Alexander Sayville, for his
own mercantile needs. However, at
the time the Mullin firm was looking
about for larger quarters, the Saville
Building was available and it was
taken over. At that time the new
occupant of this building used only
the street floor. For many years one
of the most popular restaurants in
town was located in the basement,
with wide exterior stairway en-
trance from Market street. The sec
ond floor for a long time was a bill
lard parlor, operated by a tenant
while the other floors were used fol
different purposes. Gradually, how
ever, the Mullin concern found il
necessary to expand and from time
to time the tenants gave way to the
necessary encroachment of the owners
of the building.
