feat performed by Thomas Meighan in

with the drama behind the struggle
for success in the metropolis could do
it. During the years of his stage sue
cess and his subsequent rise in pic
lures, Mr.. Meighan has probably
known intimately practically all the
celebrities Of that city. In the early
scenes Of "We're All Gamblers" the
star portrays a professional fighter on
the eve of a championship fight. His
unusually fine physique made this
easy. Later in the story he becomes
the proprietor Of a successful night
club. This required an entirely differ
ent technique. That he does a re
markable fine impersonation has been
testified to by the privileged few who
have already seen the picture.

George w. Rash, aged IS years, a
former resident of Smyrna, but for
the past several years living with his
family in Williamsburg, four miles
from fredericksburg, Md, was killed
last Wednesday by railroad motor
car on which section gang was go

about a quarter of a mile north Of the
village of Williamsburg, on the Sea-
ford-C Cambridge branch of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, the section gang
having left fredericksburg some time
earlier, going down the track on the
car toward Williamsburg. According
to statements of the railroad men, Mr..
Rash, who was said to be deaf, was
walking on the track ahead of them,
and seeing him, they blew the whistle
and shouted to warn him, at the same
time applying the brakes. They were
unable to make him hear, and because
of the wet and slippery condition of
the rails, could not bring the car to
stop in time to avoid hitting him.

British Town Factories Are

MANCHESTER, Eng, July 3d.
This great English industrial town
with its population of nearly $780,
600 presented a curiously empty ap-
pearance to the American visitors
who CHANGED to be here today.
Almost anyone could have toll
them the reason-that today the
great annual trek of millhands and
factory workers to the popular sea-
side places has begun, and that for
ten more days Manchester and all
the other great North Country in
dustrial towns will continue to be
deserted, until the workers return
happy and broke"
This annual trek, or as it is known
in England the Wakes" is looked
forward to throughout the year, and
in practically every town and Will
age clubs are formed to which every
member of the family from the head
of the house down to the youngest
working child, contributes as niue
as he or she can each week, the
amount to be spent in one great
event during the next ten days.
The seaside place most favored by
the holiday-making hands is Black
pool, for it here that they find the
best outlet for their pent-up spirits
and incidentally, their money.
