The Stanley Company of America,

This theatre represents Stanley Com

forms to the standards that have been
set by the Stanley organization. The
modernized Aldine will be opened with
appropriate ceremonies. Its initial
program will have as its photoplay

The Seaford Volunteer Fire Depart
ment has purchased a new Seagreaves
fire engine, costing $4,000. This will
give them two Seagreaves engines,t the
other engine, which is larger, costing
S11,75O. With the purchase of the adj
ditiOnal engine, ten new members will
be admitted, giving the department a
roster of about 65 men. The new en-
CINE will pump 500 gallons of water
per minute from the fire plugs and
400 gallons per minute from the riv-
er. The larger engine has capacity
of 1000 gallons of water per minute
from the fire plugs and 900 gallons
per minute from the river. The small
er engine will be used for the rural
districts. The firemen will also pur-
chase $50 additional feet of 21a incl
hose.

All the world knows that Abraham
Lincoln held the North and South
united, but it may not be generally
known that the railsplitted linked the
East and West, even though he did
not live to see the realization of his
dream. The Great Emancipator was
dead when on May 10, 1869, the crude
engines of the Union Pacific and Cen
tral Pacific railroads, touched noses
at Promontory Point, Utah, cOmplet-
ing the tranScontinental rails, but
without Lincoln the project could not
have been carried through to compile
tion. The pathos of the achievement
as we'll as the humor have been rec
orded on the screen by William Fox
in a superproduction call "The Iron
Horse" George OBrien and Madge
Bellamy have the leading roles in q
notable cast, and John Ford, the di-
rector, has used in addition a regi-
ment of L. S. cavalry and and tribe
of Indians. The historical accuracy
of the picture has been assured by
basing every scene upon an incident
which has been faithfully recorded by
eye-witnesses. The story opens will

Portable StoUe Was
Ben Frdnklin's Idea

The first stoves were simply hot
stones. In using his flint knife, man
evidently discovered that stone held

discovery. Huge round stones nave

used for purposes Of cooking food.
Some are fiat. some cOncave. A large
Dot of a later period has been found
containing several smooth, round
stones. 1t is believed that early man
heated water by dropping hot stones
into it. In early times the fire was
built in the center Of the cave and for
long time the cook occupied the
center of the home. But later the hre
was moved to the side of the home

When Barrett Wendell
Was Reused to Anger

For all his scholarly dignity. Bar
rett Wendell, Harvard professor, now
and then lost his temper and especially
at football games. In his biography,
N. A. DeWolfe Howes recalls an occa-
sion when Doctor Wendell and his
daughter were greatly annoyed by an
excited fan directly in front of them,
who kept leaplng up and cutting off
their view.
When protests proved Of no avail,
Wendell appraised his PROFESSIONAL cane
and brought It crashing down on the
mans head, breaking his hat.
A roar of laughter went up from the
delighted students who witnessed the
incident, increasing when the man
turned around shouting furiously:
"WhO did thatT
II did," replied Wendell calmly
Come out and I'll buy you a new
hat"
They exchanged cards and were gone
from the game long enough to make
the necessary purchase.

Value of SeIf-ControI

Self-control is self-direction, as well
as self-restraint. The engineer controls
his engine not simply by preventing it
from running off the track or from
colliding with an obstruction. 1t is
rather by making it do the work for
which it was constructed and intended
in pulling the train and getting some
where-that he establishes his reputa-
ton as an efficient engineer. Once
give the boys and girls this positive
side Of the matter of self-control and
you set them on the path to develop

of success. Do not be a prohibitive

SetpinR Machine Inpentor

The father Of the modern sewing
machine was Elias Howe, who died in
1857. The patent for his first machine
was taken out in 1916, and its prin-
ciples still form the basis Of most mod
ern ones. Howe came from Massaehu-
sets, and earned his living in a fac
tory for making cotton machinery but
the honor Of inventing the first sewing
machine is not entirely American,
since various clumsy machines for
sewing leather and stuff had been
evolved previously in England and in
France. Howe visited England, but
only managed to sell his patents for a
bagatelle of $1,250 The descendants
OF his machine can do anything from
button-holing and darning to the finest
embroidery.
