Woodfawn, Pa, where he formerly
worked John Middleton and Doc
Mowery, who went his bond, had
gone to Woodlawn to try to find him.
and during their absence Spence had
returned to Capon Road and had con-

For the first time since its OF yani-
zation. the Virginia State Highway
Commission will honor Wood toek
with an official visit today, ana there
viii be hundreds of citizens from
Ashby. Madison and Stonewall dis
trcts to greet them.
The commission comes to Il Ike def
mite action relative to chang ing the
route of the State Highway from
Woodstock via Calvary and Liberty
Furnace to the West Virginia line.
1t has been found that the feasible
route would leave the route. Cnce es-
tablished, at Liberty Furnace and go
by jerome to a point on the Orkney

rect route to the West Virginia line
and to a point where the West Vir-

on a good road not only to he Je-
rome and Western Ashby district sec

ing in the Court House today. alvo-

WATER PROPOSITION
NEARS SETTLEMENT
Town Council of Edinburg Not Party
to Injunction Suit-Work Will
Begin Soon

The courtesy, cooperation and con-
sideration shown the Town Council
of Woodstock by Mr.. S. H. Marsh
of Harrsonburg. supervisor of area
of forestry lands controlled by the
government is evidenced by his work
to give Woodstock an ample water
supply, wi h out discriminating
against any other interests involved.
Through Federal cooperation, as
is evidenced by Mr.. Marsh's work
the town of Woodstock is not only
permitted to dam Little Stony Creek
and receive therefrom an unpolluted
water supply, but the government has
acquiesced in proposed plans for the
erection of such buildigns as will be
necessary.
In short, the new water supply is
an assured matter. A recent deci-
sion of the Staunton courts guaran-
tees, almost, that the Intervention of
other interests, under the riparian
laws, is not sufficient to forestall the
carrying out of the councilmanic pro-
gram.
Edinburg, by councilmanic action,
has virtually repudiated the legal OPP
position to the proposition by dis
claiming any effort to keep Wood
stock from augmenting its water sup
ply from Little Stony Creek.
Whatever delay is ocasioned will
be solely chargeable to the courts,
which must and will act on the in
junction proceedings initiated. These
things are sometimes matters of long
duration, but they solve themselves
in time in courts of equity.
Woodstock will soon be piping wa
ter from Stony Creek Almost all of
the drinks in opposition have been
ironed out and the beginning of the
work is now awaiting legal consider
alton.
Court processes are unfortunately
slow, not only because of the tech
nicalities involved. but because in
many cases equity is delayed by
procedure.
Judge F. B. Whiting has been i'll
for many weeks. This illness has.
clogged the dockets, but
the community hopes that the mat
ter will be decided as quickly as the
facts warrant and as the Judge may
be able to consider them

 This is his first trip to Alaska, and he is enjoying it very much, he said. From Ketchikan to Nome there are twelve Ford agencies. Counting all makes there are 1883 automobiles in Alaska but as to the actual number of Fords, owing to the Territorial li- cense laws, this is unknown.
 While the Alaska field is pretty we'll covered by Ford dealers and agencies, it is the company's desire to perfect it's service and offer to Alaskans the same chances presented by the Ford interests all over the country. It is with this in view that MT. DoDnoghue is visiting the Territory. Yesterday Mr. Donoghue visited the local agen cy conducted by the Seward Machine Shop. He expressed himself as being we'll pleased with the way MT. Lech ner has handled the local business MT. Donoghue departed this morning for Anchorage where he will visit the agency conducted by A. A. Shonbeck On Thursday he goes to Fairbanks and later make the trip back over the Richardson Highway; and from Cor dova direct back to the Seattle of flee. A longer stay would be made at this time, MT. Donoghue stated al the Van Glider last evening, but ow 1 ing to the fact that he must be al the Detroit headquarters the latter part of the month. However, he is in hopes of returning next year ant aside from making the trip a busi. ness one will take the opportunity of enjoying some of the outdoor sports which he says he has heard so mucf about.

No Grease Paint Used In
 Picture Big Brother

Cosmetic dealers, who supply the grease paint for motion picture ac- tors, would find business exceeding ly dull if they had to depend on pie lures such as Paramount's Big Brother" for the replenishment of their cOffers. Here is production in which only one member of the entire cast uses makeup in exteriors and two members in interior scenes.
 Allan Dwan, directing the filming of the story, which is from the novel by Rex Beach at the Liberty Theater, is the author of the idea, and it has proven an exceptional one. Most of the characters in the play are gang sters of New York's lower East Side. In fact nearly all of the action takes place in that vicinity. So, in MT. Dwan's opinion the exact characteri- zations could not be procured with the aid of makeup. Hence Tom Moore and others have no more cos metics on their face before the came "a than they would have on Broad way.
 Raymond Hatton, who plays the part of dope fiend, is the only mem Der of the cast to wear makeup thru out, which of course, is necessary to get the correct charactc ~ization Edith Roberts, playing the feminine lead, wears makeup only in the in- terior scenes.

APPENDIX MUST BE SHOWN CONVINCE
 WOMAN OPERATION

SOFIA, Feb. 9.--Sofia has an appen- dicitis fiend, perhaps the first in it's it's history.
 More than a year ago the wife of prominent Sofia business man com plained of pains in her right side and immediately decided that she was suf- fering from appendicitis.
 Specialists in Sofia and Vienna who examined her declared she was in the most perfect health and had not the faintest suggestion of appendicitis.
 But the pains, according to the wo- man, continued to bother her and she finally persuaded Dr. Paltcheff to op- crate. She left the hospital declar- ing herself to be in excellent health.
 For year everything went fine, but recently the woman met on the street the nurse who had attended her in the hospital.
 The joke was too good to keep so the nurse informed her that the oper- ation was fake and that the skin had only been cut.
 Immediately the pains returned, ac. cording to the woman, and again she demanded Dr. Paltcheff to remove her appendix.
 The doctor is in a quandary If he does not remove the woman's appen- dix he is liable to prosecution for a bogus operation. But the woman is entirely well. He is considering the possibility of operating on a real ap- pendicitis case and showing her the woman's appendix as her own

Tests Show Collins Still Alive

CAVE CITY, Ky, Feb. 10.-Ampli- fer tests today indicated that Collins was still alive and breathing fourteen or fifteen times a minute.
 Miller and B. G. Fishback, farmer testified that rumors that Collins is not in the cave were false. They de- clared that threats to harm Miller were not from enemies, but from friends seeking to warn him of the peril he faced. Miller told how he wormed his way almost to Collins and Coollins exclaimed:
 "Oh, you and Stone are hurting me-"
 He said Collins had wet oilcloth over his head, and he begged Miller not to remove it because the dripping water hurt him. Miller testified, q could see as far down as his chest but couldn't tell how much his body was covered below that"
 He said he examined the place with an electric light, but could not see any opening.
 Collins told him he had found a very beautiful cavern eight feet deep when Miller last visited him Wednesday. Collins said he was hungry at this time and that his foot was free. Mil Ter said he found Collins in the cave on seven different trips. He declared that rocks were falling continuously around Collins, and in the passage
 He declared that Captain Topmiller land a sergeant were acting for the owner of the farm containing the cave when they prevented his entering the last time.
 Continuing his testimony before the Court, Miller said that within a few hours after Collins was found, neigh. bors were selling hot dogs and cof fee to visitors. He said that this was not so much for profit as for accom-. modation, as several hundred persons were in the vicinity for days at a time
