time Buster and his staff began re-
search work on "The General" until
the comedy was completed. Several
months were spent on location in
Oregon, where Civil War towns were
built, railroad leased, three locomo-
tives and scores of cars purchased and
converted into wood-burners and
equipment of the sixties, and thous-
ands of National Guardsmen and
former soldiers recruited for the bat
tie scenes. One of the big thrills n

Andrews railroad raid and locomotive
chase, vivid chapter of the Civil

motive from burning trestle into a
raging river. This scene was made at
cost of $4,000; the wreckage still
reposes in the bed Of the river near

Bruce Mock, Negro, Pays No Atten-
tiOn to Warning Signals at StGeorges
Failing to observe warning signals
and lowered gates at the St. Georges
bridge across the Chesapeake and Del
aware Canal Thursday, July 28th,
Bruce Mock, 19-year-old negro, drove
by number of other machines which
had stopped while the lift of the
bridge was raised and plunged into
the canal with large motor truck
which he was driving south on the du-
Pont Boulevard. He was trapped in
the cab Of the truck and drowned be-
fore he could be rescued. Harvey
Mock, white, owner of the truck, who
was trying to sleep in the rear of the
truck, saved his life by swimming to
shore after the machine plunged into
the water. Mock recently took the
boy from an orphanage and gave him
his name. The body of the youth
was IGCONGIGu III Tie d1l6EIlOOH Dy
William Keiser, of Smyrna Landing,
who grappled for it from early in the
morning until after 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. The body was turned over
to Coroner Harvey E. Nichols, who
later released it to Mr.. Mock. Mock
and the boy were on their way nome
to Hallwood, Va, after having deliv-
cred farm products at northern
market. A short distance from Smyr-
ma, Mock relinquished the steering
wheel to the boy and climbed into the
rear of the truck to try and get some
sleep. When the truck struck the
water he had little difficulty in getting
out but the boy was penned in the
cabin of the truck and sank with it..
When the truck was raised from the
water by the government tug Startle,
the body of the boy had become dis
lodged and sunk to the bed of the
canal where it was later recovered
Traffic along the highway and through
the canal was tied up for several
hours while the truck was being re
moved from the water. A verdict of
accidental drowning was returned by
the coroner's jury that night fol

Late summer is ths most trying

have been required.

The facts are: Gales is leading

From them you can learn the real
facts. Said the Universal recently:
