Monday, April 18th, marked the an
niversary of the moving of Barlow
tower from Blackbird to Townsend
which event occurred in 1912. 1t is
recalled that at that time Mr.. w. A.
Watson was the day operator there,
and he had nothing to do from nine
o'clock until one o'clock, P. M, as the
moving of the tower was then in pro-
gress. The tower was taken to Town
send from Blackbird by the wreck
train, the structure being lifted by the
derrick and was swinging similar to
a bird cage, when carried around, as
the wreck train moved slowly to
Townsend. A cement foundation had
been placed there for it a few days
previously and big force of men
hustled as much as possible to have
the tower IN full operation by one
o'clock as per schedule Of the men in
charge but it was in readiness by 1890
and resumed operation promptly at
Done o'clock, as though there had been
no interruption to the block service.

the Pan-German newspapers as a

Journalist Scored

Anatole France said that actors
have the vanity and brains of pea
cocks. From which it follows that
they are not adept at repartee. A jour
nalist and an actor become involved
in an argument as to the intelligence
Of the stage craft. To support his
case, the Journalist quoted the state
ment by France. The discussion was
long and heated, the actor finally ac-
cusing the journalist of lack of in
telligence because the latter denied
possession of brains to actors He
said: "Now 1 know what it means to
have a peacock brain" To this the
journalist retorted. "Then you must
have learned through introspection."

WARNING POULTRY SHIPPERS
Several Recent Complaints Cause Bu-
reau of Markets to Caution Shippers

Several Recent Complaints Cause Bu-
reau of Markets to Caution Shippers
The Bureau of Markets of the State
Board of Agriculture again desires to
caution the shippers of Delaware,
particularly the shippers of poultry
and eggs, against selling with a prom
ise to pay upon receipt, or consign-
ing their products to dealers whom
they do not know. This bureau has
recently been called upon to investi-
gate dealer from one of the nearby
cities, who offered several of the egg
shippers in Delaware from two to
three cents above the market prices,
agreeing to send check as soon as
shipment was received. In this par
ticular instance, the individual who so
licited these shipments represented his
concerns as being in business for more
than twenty-five years, stating that
his house was bonded, gave bank ref
erences, and otherwise represented
himself to be reliable. Several Della
ware shippers made shipments of
eggs to his firm, and not receiving
payment, complaint was made to the
Bureau of Markets. When w. T. Der
ickson, chief of the Delaware State
Bureau of Markets, called at the
above mentioned dealers place of bus
mess, he found the door padlocked and
was not able to get any information,
either regarding the individual who
made the purchases, or the firm; and
while a vigorous investigation is be-
ing conducted by the Bureau Of Mark
cts at this time, it is very doubtful
whether or not the shippers will re-
ceive payment for their products. Mr..
Derickson again desires to call the at
tention of Delaware shippers to the
fact that the Bureau of Markets is in
position 10 furnish information re-

shippers to make use of this service
before making shipments to unknown

Rurean of Markets at Dover would
have saved Delaware shippers several
hundred dollars.

RIALTO-"His Jazz Bride.

Peck-MillS Jazz Orchestra and ever
popular Kate Smith in the latest song
hits stand out in the bill at the Riaito
this week Miss Smith and the muSl-
cal boys furnish all the pep and enter
tainment which is lacking in the film
feature, His Jazz Bride" slow
motion film version of an insipid news
paper story, THE Flapper Wife," who
tapped her way through countless
chapters of sordid tlirtations when she
made her debut serially.
The plot of the picture story. II any,
deals with four dumbells, male and
female. the dumbest being the male Of
the species, who allow their jazz.mad
mates to ruin them financially by
ridiculous extravaganza.
1t is hard to imagine man as spine
less az Dick Gregory is pictured, and
it is difficult to decide whether he in
spires most with pity or contempt.
Certainly he offers no food for the ad
miration one expects to feel for the
hero of romance. Matt Moore suffers
through the role.
All the usual things happen to this
wifedriven husband and his friend,
Alec Seymour, as the two wives pro-
coed on their pursuit of pleasure. A
great tragedy in the form of boat
wreck brings the jazz bride to her
senses and makes of her a model wife.
The brightest spot in the picture is
the glow from the burning pleasure
boat as the wreckage goes up in flame
and smoke.
Marie Provost interprets the part Of
Gloria Gregory, the jazz bride: Mabel
Julienne Scott is May Semour, and
George Irving is Alec Seymour.

The majority, perhaps, will regard
the ending as unhappy. The question.
however. depends upon perspective.
and in this day Of dancing mothers
perspective is much altered. The
problem sought to be solved in the film
is whether the mother shall return to
her selfish daughter and her selfish
husband to be their anchor in life's
typhoonS or whether she shall cut
loose from it all and be selfish on her
own. She takes the latter course, and
another marriage goes on the rocks.
Just how much damage the rupture
Of the Westcourt marriage amounts TO
in ones opinion will govern ones de-
cision that the ending is happy or I'M
happy.
The story of Dancing Mothers"
should be well known by this time.
Briefly, it is the biography of beauti-
full mother who gets tired of staying
at home while her husband and daugh-
ter dash around to night clubs. Dis
guSted. she takes a flyer in JaZZmanld
herself, and likes it well enough to
remain until she steals away from the
daughter heart breaker, Jerry
Naughton. The husband, taught
lesson, decides to chuck his mode OF
living and reform, but it is too late.
The husband loses, the daughter loses,
the mother loses and the lover loses
but the value of what they lost Is a
matter of individual opinion.
The films worth is enhanced by
some fine characterizations, notably
those of Alice Joyce, Conway Tearle.
Clara Bow and Norman Trevor-as

respectively. It also has the advantage
Of excellent setting and direction.
