MORE CARS GOING ABROAD
'Ferrying" of Tourists Autos In
creases 22H Per Cent

Washington. - Prosperity is re-
turning-at least to the American
tourists.
The foreign travel division of the
American Automobile association
has reported that 221a per cent
more cars were shipped abroad in
the ten month period from January
l to October 81 than in the CORE
spending period of 1888.
Likewise travellers from AZ states
had their cars "ferried" across the
ocean to 80 ports in Europe, Asia
and Africa.
Political uncertainties or cur
rency fluctuations apparently inter
fered not in the least with the
pleasure and comfort of motor trav-
el abroad in 1884, Thomas P. Henry,
Detroit, president Of the associa-
ton, said. Facilities and ease Of
motor travel were more favorable
than ever before, he added.
Most American cars shipped
abroad were lightweight and low
priced. indicating a desire to econ
omize on gas and oil. The average
duration of tours this year was GO
days, compared with so days in for
mer years.
Reduced cost of transportation,
coupled with more efficient handling
Of automobiles by steamship COM
panies, the association said, made
up for the increased cost of gas
oline and oil in foreign countries.

those who knew him well and
found him a kindly, human
man with appreciation of the
finer things Of life. Especial
ly will his deeds in setting up
a system in Delaware for old
age pensions, be remembered.
In this he was closely inter
ested in the State Welfare
Home, Smyrna, an institution
that had his interest and CO.
operation from the start. The
flag and staff he so generous
ly presented and the fine radio
equipment that affords so
much pleasure for the inmates
of the Home, will continue to
be reminders of his beneficent
acts. Alfred /. dupont was a
man who enjoyed life and
lived it to its fullest. He built
up huge fortune and like
other members of his family,
did good in ways he enjoyed

humanity and making those

Better Rural Roads

This is the season of the
year when it becomes most
apparent that great strides
are still to be made in the i'm
provement of farm to market
roads-roads that mean much
to every merchant and resi-
dent in a community where
farming is the principal busi-
ness.
While highways of which
we are justly proud have been
constructed to connect metro
politan centers, every spring
brings unpleasant reminders
that country roads for the
most part are still Of the type
that become rutted and mud
dy-probably impossible at
times for several days or
weeks each spring, depending
on the season. Increased use
of trucks to transport farm
produce makes the need for
better roads more pressing.
Fortunately, progress in the
science of road building brings
the vision of a complete net
work of hardsurfaced rural
roads within the realm Of pos
Sibilities. Stable all-weather
roads, developed through soil
studies by the U. S. Bureau Of
Public Roads, and constructed
by the proper mixture of local
materials and calcium chlor-
ide, are inexpensive in first
cost and greatly reduce the
cost of maintenance.
Hundreds Of miles of such
roads have already been con-
structed principally in Della
ware, Michigan, Indiana, Min
nesota and Ohio, and the
method of construction is rap
idly becoming standardized.
AS with every other COM
munity improvement project,
the goal cannot be reached at
once. But "Better Rural
Roads" is an aim which every
civic and farm organization
should include in its program
for community improvement,
and is an objective which
should have the support of
every resident Of a rural com
munity or village. Safe, hard
surfaced rural roads are a def
mite business asset to every
community.

the next year, but that season was
not to be compared with the first, so
he left at the end Of the third week
for Broadway
While in Washington, De Wolf
Hopper appeared at many MONDAY
luncheons, always reciting his per-
ennial Casey at the Bat" He once
told an audience he had given this
sbout $1,000 times. So many. in fact.
that most people gave him credit for
authorship.
Later, it was learned the author
was Ernest L. Thayer, known to his
friends in his home town of Wor-
cester, Mass, as Phinney Thayer. He
was San Francisco newspaperman
at the time he wrote this verse.
1t also developed later that a
Washingtonian, Dan Casey, was the
hero of the base ball epic
Il never did claim to be the writer
Of Casey" De Wolf said, afterward
"All said was the reciter."
And what a reciter. With his bull
like voice he put everything he had
in that one piece" and though he
rated himself as an actor and comed-
ian with a tendency always toward
Glowing, the theatrical world always
will remember De Wolf Hopper as the
man who made Casey" famous.

BY JOHN J. DAILY.

About this time 10 years ago, the
De Wolf Hopper Comic Opera Co.
was flourishing on the boards of the
old Polls Theater on the south side
of Pennsylvania avenue. between Four
teenth and Fifteenth streets.
At that time, he was in his sixty
seventh year and celebrating his
advent into second childhood" as
he expressed it. All his later life he
had been ambitious to have his own
company.
Why 1 can't fail" he told his
sponsors. If only my ex-wives come
to the performances we'll have packed
houses always"
The Gilbert and Sullivan operas
appealed to the old time clown-a tor
and his favorite role was that of The
Pooh-Bah in The Mikado."
Once the announcement went out
that Polls was to be the scene of De
Wolf Hopper's 'foolishness, the
S. r. o. sign went up almost imme-
diately. For eight solid weeks IL one
season, 1925. the operettas were pro-
nounced successes. Though Polls was
a barn-like structure, with some 5000
seats. the management managed al
ways to sell out"
Armed with this success behind
him, De Wolf came to town again
