On Friday, March 16, there was a
poem printed in your paper written
by a party who calls himself "Har-
besOn Tennyson," and for which
am receiving the credit for writing.
In the first place, l was never a
poet, and I had nothing whatever
to do with that poem; either in
composing or having it published
I suppose there are some who real
ly know the author, and the others
who do not think 1 am; judging
from the prominent part I seem to
have in the poem. To spare myself
further injuries, will you kindly
state for me the information as
stated above. Thanking you in adj
vance for this favor, and wishing
you continued success in one of the
best papers we have ever read,

BRINGING UP FATHER
IN POLITICS

A new style of musical comedy
has been established in the latest
triumph, bringing Up Father In
Politics." which is to be the next
stage attraction at the New Plaza
Theatre Tuesday, March 9th, with
the customary matinees. The offer
ing, as it's title indicates is based
on the famous cartoons of George
McManus. Not so long ago some
body made the assertion that these
comics were a national institution
and as essential to the happiness
of the community as the laws of
the land. Millions of folks have
been set a laughing through the
antics and exploits of those fam
Gus, yet beloved characters-"Ji Jiggs
Mahoney," Maggie, his termagent
wife, and "Dinty Moore" In this
up-tO-the-second vehicle this trinity
of favorites will have plenty of
scope to demonstrate their ideas of
disseminating fun and adding
brightness and joy to the world.
Maggie" has aspirations. She
wants Jiggs to be either president,
governor, mayor or hold some such
high Office within the gift of the
citizens of these United States. So
he enters the political arena as
sisted by "Dinty" who succeeded in
upsetting Maggie's greatest dreams,
but eventually contributing a salts
factory announcement. If you have
grown in avOirdupOis or become
mentally alert through the humOr,
screams, revelry, or tribulations of
the renowned "Jiggs" in the realm
of the dailies, you will no doubt be-

a penalty was charged for failure
of the contractor to complete a
stretch within the specified time.
Usually, the contractor found
some excuse for asking for RELIEF
from the penalty.
Under the new plan, the contrac-

he usually strives to complete the
work in as short a time as possible.
The hobo menace along state high
ways, that is, those pedestrians
who try to beg a ride from truck
or automobile, is becoming such a
hazard Mr.. Buck has ordered signs
made on which these pedestrians
will be urged to walk facing traffic.
According to State Highway po-
lice and the records of accidents
along highways in Delaware, this
class of pedestrians is becoming
more numerous. And so are the
accidents resulting from his walk
ing on the highways. Mr.. Buck be-
lieves that a majority of the high
way pedestrians will comply with
the request to face traffic and thus
reduce the number of injured and
killed in accidents of this character.

 Characters that one meets every day abound in this new photoplay J. Farrell Macdonald, who leaped into fame by his portrayal of Cor poral Casey in "The Iron Horse, plays Joe Heller, the husband who stands for anything" from his wife. Macdonald is bound to en- trench himself to a still greater degree with the public by his latest performance. His comedy scenes brim with acting of the stellar brand.
 Virginia Valli plays the role of Louise Heller, the daughter who lacks a sweetheart and who does not have even a "once-in-a-w 7" But she finally meets a young bank clerk, played by Allan Simp- son, and the two fall in love. The romance is jeopardized, how ever, by the girls mother, who declares to the lowly-paid clerk that her daughter has been bred in the lap of luxury. Owing to this misrepresentation on the part of the mother. the young man ae- cides that the one he loves is be-

The publicity director reviewed the
story OF Hoover having been placed on

explained. how. under the English Law
Mr.. Hoover's name appeared on the

Prior to 1918. when the election laws
