Got lot Of pep and full Of life
just like Ethel. Although Ethel
Is lot better looking"
She'll be glad to hear that.
What are your plans for the fu'
ture?"
"Oh, I'll probably have another
Azucar in a jumper I bought
back East. And think one of
my new yearlings will knock off
a couple of two-year-old stakes
next year."
That's very interesting, I'm
sure, but I was talking about
your screen future"
"Oh, that. I didn't know
had one. But I've got a little
filly by Bubbling over, which won
the Kentucky Derby"
I'D like to. But after all, this

HOLLYWOOD. Oct. 26.-"stay
young by doing young things!"
Such is the advice Of Wallace
Beery to those who develop the
idea that Genus Homo is on the
down-grade after 40.
No more insidious lie, asserts
the character star, was ever per
petrated on a credulous group Of
near-pessimiSts.
Beery, in the midst Of his role
in "Ah wilderness" at the Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer studios. says that
life has just begun for him.
"I'll never retire." he asserts.

adds to his philosophy Of youth.

that's so charming about this

TRAFFIC BEST
IN DELAWARE
Boulevard Glasgow ROa d
Junction Work Is Voted
Safest in East District
MEETING AT MIAMI, FLA.

Construction during the year of
the intersection of the dupont Dual
+! Boulevard and the Glasgow Dual
Road at State Road, for handling
heavy traffic safely, was ovted the
best handled traffic problem in the
East at the annual convention OF
the American Highway Officials
Association held at Miami, Fla. w
w. Mack, chief engineer of the
State Highway Department, VINO
attended the convention with sew
eral other engineers of the State
Highway Department, received
many compliments and answered
many questions regarding the Il
tersection and its design before arG
after the award of the rating. B.
fore the convention, the various
member engineers from different
States were asked to submit photo
graphs of the most different traffic
problem which their engineering
skill had solved during the past
few years. These photographs
were reproduced in paintings by
WPA artists assigned to the work
and were arranged as r1uraIs about
the walls of the meeting hall. They
were then judged as to the degree
of satisfactory engineering solution
of the traffic problem found by a
board of expert State engineers at
tending the convention. The ssy-
tenn of traffic lanes, lights, traffic
guide markings on the dual high
ways and warnings at the State
Road intersection was voted as the
best solution of a difficult traffic
problem by the judges in spite of
the fact that the artist who paint
ed the picture from the photograph
did not attempt to make
the painting esthetically beautiful
but confined himself to the engin-
eering phases of the work.

a mechanical bend, for instance, can
do first year high school shop work

though they may never graduate
from eighth grade.
Speaking of the success obtained
at the first school, Superintendent
of Schools Henry J. Gerling said:
Most pupils who enter the school
are defiant, surly and distrustful of
their own ability. After year, they
are cheerful. confident and self re-
specting."

cial training work is being carried
on. regular classes are also carried
on for the average pupils.

CANAL RELIC
AT CHESAPEAKE
Familiar Old Lock i'm Path of
Widening Canal Is to Be
Removed
p ROC ESS IN WORK

Chesapeake City is losing the
last traces of the old lock Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal. The
lock, through which boats entering
or leaving the waterway at Chesa-
peake City had to be raised to the
level west of Chesapeake City or
lowered to reach the canal level
east of the town, is being removed
and when this work is through
there will be no trace of the lock
remaining. The lock is being re-
moved because it is in the path of
the greater canal channel and the
old lock site will eventually become
a part of the main ship channel,
25O feet wide and 81 feet deep. The
Arundel Corporation, of Baltimore,
has the contract to remove the
lock. The sides of the lock consist
of huge rocks cemented together,
extending from the surface to a
point Is TO 20 feet below mean low
water on both the north and south
sides. The rocks being taken from
the old lock are being loaded on
scoWs and will be taken to the
Edge Moor dixie, north of Whining
ton, where they will be used in ex-
tending the dixie farther out into
the Delaware river. The old lock
at Delaware City is still intact, ex-
cept that the wooden gates at eth
er end have been removed. At the
north end of the lock, leading into
the Delaware river, a bulkhead has
been constructed and dirt filled in
back of the bulkhead for a distance
of about so feet. This lock is not
apt to be removed at this time as
1t does not stand in the path of the
new canal channel. The channel of
the canal from Delaware City to
Chesapeake City, Md, has been
dredged to depth of 16 feet at
low water. The work has been
carried out as a part of the main
program of the War De +
