OLD HOMES TO
BE SEEN AGAIN
Bucks Historic "Buena Vista"
To Be Opened on ''New
Castle Day"
TREASURES TO BE SEEN

"Buena Vista, home of Cover
nor and Mrs. Buck, will be among
the interesting homes open to the
public on the annual DAY in Old
New Castle" Saturday, May 20.
The home of the Chief Executive
of the State holds treasures of an
tiques, heirlooms of jewelry, silver
ware and paintings. Its holding
dates back to the earliest Della
wareans. Among its most priced
art holdings is an original por-
trait of Queen Elizabeth painted by
Nicholas Hilliard in 1850, who
f1ourished as a painter from 1917
to 1919. There are several Gilbert
Stewart portraits, and interesting
paintings of the children of Cover
nor and Mrs. Buck by Jessie Will
six Smith. One of the loveliest of
the old paintings is one of Anna
VanDyke, daughter of the first
Governor of Delaware, Nicholas
VanDyke, whose wedding to Kensy
Johns in Old Amstel House at
tracted George Washington as a
guest. There are also heirlooms
and portraits of the first Governor
of whom Mrs. Buck is direct de
scendant. The house was built by
John M Clayton, Secretary of
State during the term of President
Taylor, and a United States Sena-
tor from Delaware. Although the
opening Of the home of DelaWare's
Chief Executive is always an at
traction to the little Colonial town,
there are many other fascinating
and surprising attractions each
year. Amstel House, the quaint
little Dutch Colonial House which
since the past two seasons has be
come a museum for things Colonial
will be the scene of an open house
tea to be given by the Anstel
House Committee Of which Mrs.

April "A or 25, depending upon the
weather. The reason for the open
house is to present for the first
time at public view a new acquisi
ton of the old house, a "class
room" which has just been built in
the upper portion Of the house, in
which will be hung number Of
Colonial costumes, many of them
worn by eminent Delawareans.
Notable in this group, which has
just been acquired, is white
heavy silk bridal gown Of the year
1880, which has been presented to
the museum by Mrs. z. @. Lord of
Baltimore, the former Miss Ellen
Buck, the sister Of Governor G.
Douglass Buck. From Miss Emma
Hamlin, a former Delawarean, now
living in Bethlehem, Pa, comes

and gowns. Mrs. Frederick w.

with some delightfully."- formal silk
en- gowns that speak of the stately
charm Of other days while from

lection while Miss Mary Lytle,

Ontario's First Seaport
Founded 800 Years Ago

Ontario's first seaport was founded
800 years ago by Capt. Thomas James
on the shores of the bay that now
bears his name.
In the winter of 1882 Captain
James established himself at the
mouth of the Moose river, at the
southern extremity of the bay, calling
the place Moosonee. Some 40 years
later the Hudson's Bay company was
formed, and the fort of Moose Factory
was established on Mission island,
across the river.
The new fort, however, was soon
lost to the French, who took it with
out a struggle with a small force led
by De Troyes in 1856. AS the English
garrison believed the fort practically
impregnable. they had neglected even
to post; guards.
Two French soldiers succeeded, con-
sequently. in scaling the palisades un-
der cover of darkness and opened the
gates. The old fort has remained un,
changed In the last 100 years. The
factors house Is over $50 years old.
while the forge. still intact, was built
nearly 200 years ago.

Runaways Are Huge
Problem to the Police

to be for those lucky enough TO find
work, the prospect is not so alluring
as it might be-"
Nearly All Accounted For.
Captain Ayers estimates that fully
9S per cent of the girls reported miss
ing here year in and year out are
either restored TO their relatives or
otherwise accounted for. Vast num-
bers of them return thoroughly disil-
iusioned-of their own accord. Many
who had run away in fit of pique
are found in the homes of friends or
acquaintances after a night or two
of absence.
The reasons why young girls leave
home are many and varied-almost
as many and as varied as the subjects
of the individual cases, according to
Captain Ayers. Some of the stock
motives were summed by the expert
as discontentment with home sur
roundings, failures at school lessons,
desire to live ones own life," eager
ness to earn money. clothes and lux
uries, desire to 60 on the stage and
men.
AS for the stage struck girl, she is
becoming virtually non existant so far
as the missing" lists disclose. Cap
tain Ayers believes that the records
would show that out-of-town girls who
come here to make name on the
stage are not one-fifteenth what they
were few years ago. Whether the
stage has lost its lure or the fact
that so many of its people are looking
for work like folk in more prosaic
callings, the bureau chief cannot
guess. He only knows that the would
be stage beauties who claim the pro-
fessional attention of his inyestiga-
tors are becoming fewer and fewer
every year. Not one single case of a
stage struck girl was entered on the
bureaus records last year.

Philadelphia.-Fate by inheritance
or accident to live in a world of 81
lence. 100 deaf children of Philadel-
phia are being taught by methods of
scientific education to speak words
they never can hear.
Facilities for the special training,

ed by the board of education in an
effort TO save from life of isolation
those whom deafness otherwise would
make objects of charity or pity.
Some of the boys and girls at the
school were born deaf, while others
lost their hearing through illness or
accident. Unable to hear the spoken
word, they are being taught to enun-
ciate by an intensive training in vi
bration.
Though systems of lip reading have
been in use for years, officials pointed
out. they do not help deaf person
to acquire accent values.

A man in Salisbury, Maryland,

which he bought for $500.
His name is Vance Butler and he
Is gas station operator. He bought
the land on which there was an aban-
doned graveyard for $500 and set two
negroes to work clearing it. They
found a rusty pot containing the
money, gold, silver and currency
amounting to about $30,0CJ.
1t seems you never know in this

you bump up against IL.

ing treasure, discovering buried gold
as unexpected as this fortune turned
up in rusty pot in an old grave
yard.

people have found an interest that

led them TO wealth of discovery and
adventure and turned into new chan

And just so, frequently to those
who have turned their thoughts from

New York Records Show
Most Are Under IL.

New York.-Missing girls are be-
coming the biggest kind of bother to
the New York police department.
Some 2,160 of them disappeared In
New York during the last calendar
year and numbers of them never could
be found. Many wound up in police
stations or in underworld dens.
few met untimely ends-their bodies
were found abandoned by roadsldes,

slain, or in out of the way hiding
places. A stable group eloped to pre-
sumably happy marriages.

hundred II them ended their adven-

up on charges of felony-homicide,
robbery, arson, and assault.
According to Commissioner Edward
p. Mulroomy. however, the vast ma
jority of the runaways were not bad
girls, but were 'just dissatisfied-dis-
satisfied with their homes, their places
of employment, their whole environ
ment. They were not bad, they were
merely out of STEP"
Many Blame Slump.
The depression, of course, was to
blame for hundreds of the disappear
ance cases With the head of the
family out of work, the larder all but
empty, small youths crying for food,
no funds with which to buy finery or
even decent clothes, hundreds of girls
in their early high school years suited
action to prolonged periods of despair
over their plight by vanishing into the
maelstrom of city life in search of
whatever change in fortune the future
might have in store for them. Any
thing better than their present lot,
they seemed to reason.
On the other hand, Capt. John ii.
Ayers, for the last fifteen years head
of the missing persons bureau and
generally recognized as one of the
worlds leading experts on the miss
ing girl" problem. is convinced that
the depression has been instrumental
in keeping just as many would-be run
