cape comes in and joins the south shore
road. From here to the tip of the cape
there is but one road. Beyond Eastman
the road swings down to the baystde to
Wellheet which has considerable har-
Dor and still retains the flavor Of its
fishing days Of so years ago. Five miles
beyond Is Truro and one notes the
hills are often bare of all save a reed
like grass and the hollows are filled
with stunted trees. From here TO
Provincetown is the only part Of the
cape that is all sand.
The main street In Provincetown Is
Commercial street and it runs for q
mile or two along the waters edge
One on side the backs of the stores,
houses and hotels face the harbor and
between them you see the wharves and
docks and the broad quiet harbor where
the Mayflower first dropped anchor In
the new world and where the compact
was signed. The town hill jumps up
from Commercial street and Is crowned
with the lofty granite shaft Of the Phi
grim Tower concentrating the hrst
landing of the Pilgrims on this wind
swept tip of Cape Cod. II the rnotorist
hasn't time for anything else in Prov
iencetoWn, he should see the view from
the top Of the Pilgrim Tower. This will
give him a better idea OF the cape and
its conformation than a whole armful
Of guide books.
Retracing the route to Orleans. We
turn westward again, this time follow
ing the north shore or the bay side OF
the cape. Brewster is a fine tree
shaded village with many fine homes.
Next is Dennis, one of the towns that
visitors always call quaint due to the
fact the town is q farming community
with small old weather stained shingled
houses that stand apart under big trees.
Next comes Barnstable, then Sandwich,
an old New England village which was
founded by settlers from Plymouth in
1887. One can look northward between
the 18th century houses, some Of which
are Sheated with implanted shingles that
are now a satin-like gray, across salt

Visit TO Boston Possible.
Crossing over the Cape Cod Canal
again to Sycamore, there are any num-
Der of routes that may be taken back
to New York. The majority Of people
will probably want to run up to Bos-
ton before turning homeward.
Plymouth Rock is the one feature in
Plymouth which no tourist ever neglects.
though 1t is by no means the only
point of interest in this frst of New
England towns. Pilgrim Hall which has
a most complete and fascinating col
lection of historical objects may well
demand the visitors attention, while the
site of the Puritan burial ground on
Coles Hill and the slate slabs on Burial
Hill tell their impressive story Of the
nardships which the first settlers
endured.
After leaving Plymouth, the route
runs through Kingston and there
swings to the right, following the road
around the famous south shore section
out Of Boston, passing through Dux-
bury, Marshfleld, Scituate, Cohasset and
Quincy.
From Boston, an attractive route back
to New York is through Weston, Way

tons and engine parts, the assertion
being made that entire assemblies, in
GLIDING piston, rings, grooves and bear
ings, can be surfaced and hardened by

Rubber Used I'm Chassis.
Further uses are being found for rub
Der by the engineers, who are putting
it into new places on the chassis to
check vibration. It's use for engine sup
ports has become common. In this
application research has found new
ways Of preserving tensils strength
and thereby frightening the life Of the
engine mounting.
A rubber mounting on the fan has
been found to make that unit quieter,
and also to function as q vibration
dampener for the engine. There is re-
ported, too, increasing interest In rub
Der insulated universal joints and in
steering gears in which rubber forms q
part of the mechanism. Rubber also is
to be used to eliminate the smaller me-
chanical joints in the braking system

more than 400 parts In one car made
Of this material.

BUMPER CROP OF APPLES
Say More Grown This Year Than
Can Possibly Be Consumed

More apples are grown in Della
ware than the consumers will ever
use, according to the State Board
of Agriculture at Dover, which is
the authority for the statement
that between 600 and 700 car
loads of the fruit have been eX-
ported since June 1. Ready mar
kets for the Delaware products
are found in Buffalo, Chicago, Can
ada and other distant points, and
each month sees hundreds of bush
els of fruit being sent there. Most
of the exports are of apples which
are used only for cooking purpos-
es. The early Yellow Transparent
which ripens early in this section,
is used for making of apple sauce
and pies almost exclusively. Other
grades of Delaware apples which
find ready markets in other sec
tions include the Williams Early
Red. Fourth of July, Red Astrac-
han, and Crimson Beauty which
are sent out of the State in large
every week.

POLITICAL GOSSIP FORECAST
Name of Josiah Marvel for United
States Senator - Hastings, An
Appointee, Also to Run

If one wishes to know what is
going on in politics these days
they have merely to go to Reho-
both and nlingle with the political
leaders of Kent and Sussex. The
warm weather apparently merely
tends to create an added interest,
for as one politician remarked
Sunday ''the hotter the weather
the hotter is politics" down this
way. One of the subjects for dis
cussion nowadays is the Senator
ial fight in the next campaign, and
it is a foregone conclusion that
Josiah Marvel of Wilmington is
going to play a prominent part in
that contest. Mr.. Marvel has been
mentioned for the Senatorship be-
fore, but this time his hat is"right
in the middle of the ring" and it
is there to stay. Anyone who ar
CUES to the contrary doesn't know
what is going on in politics. And
anyway, Mr.. Marvel admits that
he is a candidate, and that he will
be a candidate to the finish. All
of this furnishes conversation
aplenty at the gathering of the
political clans on hotel porches
and Verandas over the week-ends.
Somehow or other the Senatorial
fight looms larger than for long
time. Senator Bayard is expect
ed to be a candidate, and with Mr..
Marvel in the field there is every
likelihood of warm campaign.
Senator Hastings has announced
that he will be a candidate to sue
ceed himself, so it is practically
certain to be Marvel or Bayard
against him. And politicians are
looking forward to that as "some
fight" Mr. Marvel is one of the
best known men in the State, and
probably knows more people in
the State than any other one man.
He has been prominent in the
councils of the Democratic party
in Delaware for many years, and
naturally has many friends among
the party leaders from one end of
the State to the other.

Is Erecting Two Story Office and
Apartment Building at Dover

C. Raymond Cummins, son of
former Postmaster A. Lee Cum
Minis and Mrs Cummins of Smyr-
ma, is erecting a two story office
and apartment building on State
street, Dover, on the plot former
ly occupied by the late magistrate
E. F. Wood. The old building has
been completely demolished and
the work on the new building is
above the first floor. Harry Vane
Dover druggist, who recently pur-
chased the property at the North
east corner of New and LOCKER
man streets, is having the present
building removed and will con-
struct an entire new building.
Work on tearing down the pres
ent building was started last week
After the present building is re-
moved a new brick building will
be erected on the plot. The new
building will contain a large store
room on the first floor and four
apartments of six rooms each on

KENT CHANGERS ON PICNIC
Hundreds Attending Outing o

A farmers picnic, attended by
hundreds of persons from all parts

Voshells Pond, near Rising Sun,
below Camden, today (Wednes-
day). The picnic originally was
planned by Miss Mary Graham,
Kent County Home Demonstration
Agent, but when it was found it
would conflict with a Grange pic
mic being arranged, it was decided
to make to-day's outing joint
affair. The site selected, Voshell's
Pond, is ideal for picnic, with
plenty of shade and cool spring
water. Those attending will take
a basket supper which all will en-

The finding of the nude body of
a white man Friday in a stream
known as Puncheon Run, running
from the railroad between Dover
and Wyoming to the State road,
and also from Dover to Camden,
back of small tracts of farm land
on the Dover-Camden road, the
body evidently having been in the
water many days, caused consid-
cradle excitement, in view of the
fact that on the breast of the
mans body were two holes which
had the appearance of being bull
let holes. The body was found in
the stream back of the Campbell
farm, by Herman Allen, colored,
who works for Campbell and who
had gone to the stream for water
to water plants on the farm. Allen
on seeing the body beat a hasty
retreat to the Campbell home
where he gave the alarm. Mem
bers of the family got in touch
with the State highway police, At
torney General Wiley and State
Detective Wharton. An investi-
cation was at once started and
Coroner Hinsley with a Jury of
seven men went to the place.
where the body was found. The
corpse was viewed and an inquest
held, the jury returning a verdict
of death by drowning. AS no sign
of clothing was discovered, which
might lead to the identity of the
man, the case was closed with the
inquest and the burying of the
man as an unidentified person.
The body was badly decomposed.
During an investigation made by
State highway Policeman Vansant
and State Detective D. D. Whar-
ton, clothes We're found not far
from where the body was discov-
cred located, and in the pocket of
one of the garments was found a
note book with the name of Frank
L. Hannigan, 206 Franklin Street,
Chester, Pa. When these articles
were found the family was notified
and went to Dover Saturday. They
did not see the body but from the
clothing and other articles, as well
as the description of the man, de-
cided that it was Hannigan. The
State Highway police also had a
record of having been asked bv
the mother of Hannigan to locate
him, saying that he was subject to
fainting spells. The mother said
that he had left home more than
ten days ago to seek employment

headmaster of the Episcopal
Church Boarding School for Boys
which will be erected and endow-
ed by A. Felix DUPONT, of Will
mington, on the "Comegys" Farm
about two miles south of Middle

for the position was made by the
committee of prominent Whining
ton citizens, headed by the Bishop
Philip Cook, of the Episcopal Dio-
cese of Delaware, after months of
study and investigation of eligible
men. Realizing that the selection
of a suitable headmaster possess
ing necessary qualifications, was
one of utmost Importance to the
success Of any new school project,
the committee upon receipt of the
the place to Mr.. Pell and has just
received word of his acceptance.
The big preparatory school, the
plans of which are now nearing
completion, the tentative plans
having been accepted by the com
mittee, will be maintained by the
Episcopal Church School Founda-
tion, and will be constructed on a
plot of more than 400 acres lying
between Noxentown and Silver
Lake, about one mile from the du-
Pont highway. The construction
of the school is expected to be
completed by next summer and
Mr.. Pell will take active charge at
that time in preparation for the
entire opening in the fall. Mr..
Pen, although young man, only
Il years old, is said to be qualified
in every way to take over the re-
sponsibility attached to directing
