SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

To Be Continued.
In bygone school days we have heard
OF Greeks and Trojans bold.
Our great. great Grandsires, too, were
stirred
By those fierce deeds Of old.
Men slashed and slew. Men planned
and tricEed.
No doubt, they said in Greece,
When once we get those Trojans
licked,
Well have unending peace.
Alas, how often all in vain
Our mortal hopes are set.
The Trojans ages since were slain.
The Greeks are fighting yet.

This is Trafalgar Square that Mr.
Pennell has projected in a maze of
lovely half-lights out of which lifts
the Nelson Column, the oterlord of
the square itself. Curious
Dark talking-"that in erecting a
monument to the greatest of it's
heroes, England should have placed
his effigy so high in the sky that no
man can possibly see it except from
an aeroplane. Nelson was intensely
human. Few great fighting men
have been less aloof. He was, as
Mr.. Bernard Shaw has pointed out,
the supreme sentimentalist. And there
he Is left alone, a secular Simon
Stylites, no man ever less resembling
that saint" And here comes w. E.

other two, to Trafalgar Square:

Queer Ceremonies at
Nuptiols of Indians

Among the Indians OF Ecuador the
marriage ceremony is a weird and tu-
multuous rite; this function begins
with a feast In which all the neigh
boring families take part At dawn
they gather around huge bowls of a
nauseous concoction known as chica,
which is a fermented and highly in
todcating drink made from the fruit
of the chonta palm. While the drink
ing is going on the bride is being
dressed. All her clothing is removed
"a short process-and she is proyid.
ed with a new skirt OF blue cloth
which reaches almost to her knees,
says H. s. Dickey in Current History
Magazine. Around her shoulders are
tied two red bandanna handkerchiefs
and across her forehead red ribbon.
Thus attired and accompanied by the
guests she goes to the house OF the
bridegroom, who is dressed in white
knee trousers with a bandanna hand
kerchief tied about his neck. Togeth-
er they proceed to the house of the
guaynaro, a sort of tribal chief who
ofhciates at the marriage. Then two
lines are formed, one of men and
one Of women, with the bride In the
center. All stand for minute fac
ing each other; then, the women ad-
vance, the men recede. Thousands
upon thousands of times this shut
fling back and forth is repeated. Oc-
casionally a dancer will drop out to
refresh himself; at times one will fall
to the ground exhausted; but the stur-
diest manage to last out the whole af-
fair, which continues throughout three
days and three nights. The most stall
wart Yumbo requires at least three
weeks to recover from one Of these
functions.

Old American Roadway

The old Spanish road, built across
Mexico In the Sixteenth century, is be
lieved to be the oldest road on the
North American continent. It was
built In the form Of letter "Y," with
the lower point Of the steam starting
at Vera Cruz on the gulf The north
ern prong touches the Pacific at San
Bias and the southern tip at Acapulco.
Because Of this road the west-bound
conveys from the Philippines were
spared the dangerous navigation
around Cape Horn. There is still evil
dence that this old trail was used by
the Indians before the spanlards
broadened 1t from pack-mule path to
a highway.

IMPoRTANT-READ CAREFULLY.

lMPoRTANT-READ CAREFULLY.
To all citizens of Delta:
Ordinance No. 2, passed May 27,
1913, provides that no papers, ashes
or trash of any kind shall be dumped
in the alleys, but must be placed in
container. This container may be
made of brick, concrete, or iron and
should be covered with a small
mesh of heavy wires to prevent burn
ing papers or sparks blowing about
that might start a disastrous fire.
The present method of dumping in
flamable debris in the alleys is un-
slightly, unsanitary, and causes a
needless fire hazard. 1t also costs
the city s150O.OO per year to haul it
away.
There are about forty fires started
in our alleys each day or over 1900
per year. Some day they viii get us.
These containers will cost uut little
thousands Of dollars. I am going to
see how many will install one in the
next thirty days. Are you going to
compel the enforcement of this ord
nance, or will you do what you know
to be your duty as a patriotic and
law abiding citizen?
When trash is burned the contain
ers should be covered to prevent
spreading.

Mayor.

ANOTHER SCOOP

PICTURE FANS

The management of the Colonial

state of Colorado at popular prices
of the Thief of Bagdad." This pic
ture plays Delta Monday, Tuesday,
and Wednesday, at both Colonial and
Rialto theatres, and opens its Den
yer run at the Victory and Rialto on
Saturday.
ID is truly a remarkable thing for
town the size of Delta to get a
great production like this ahead of
Denver. The Thief of Bagdad" is
Doug" Fairbanks latest master
production. 1t is acclaimed by critics
to be the most stupendous production
that has ever been produced.

Cutters Realize That
TUain Had Right Idea

Many years ago Mark Twain wrote
one Of his characteristic little sketches
about boy buying a jackknife. His
observation was that In the presence
Of the Infinite variety of shiny knives
which the hardware man had in his
showcase any knife that the boy select
ed from the rest looked like clumsy,
Inferior affair, but that as soon as the
boy had made his choice and got away
from the influence Of all Of the other
knives his particular knife became
precious and radiant thing of beauty.
1t was generations ago that the
great humorist discussed this topic,
but the cutters have taken the lesson
to heart at last and decided that they
have been making too many kinds of
pocketknives. Their interest in the
matter is economic; their aim is more
profits and they hope to achieve that
end by ceasing TO turn out many &c
centric varieties of knives that are
slow sale and not much good anyway.
Their meeting was, in fact, a part of
Mr.. Hoover's comprehensive scheme
for saving money by standardizing
products and scrapping unnecessary
models, but behind all OF that one sees
the eternal small boy, who is just the
same now that he was when Mark
Twain observed him relieved Of an an
Client embarrassment Free
