"What were you and my brother

you had not seen him again after

"Why - why, what do you

the answer. :,
"Just what l said" he answered
coldly. "You were carrying on a

Growing Traffic on Highway

Experience has demonstrat-
ed the tremendous value of
multi-lane highways near cit
les not only to move present
day motor traffic speedily and
effectively, but safely. And
more than ever has practice
justified the dual highway for
main trunks and to receive OF
distribute traffic. When the
Dupont Boulevard was con
verted into wide dual road
ways Immediately south of
Wilmington, with numerous
channels, for the ever increas-
ing number Of autos, many
persons felt the project was
an example Of questionable
spending to provide employ
ment under a made-work pro-
gram.
1T may have cost more"
comments the Morning News,
"than usual for such con-
struction, but that was justi-
fed BY its beneficent purpose.
But who will say the wonder
full highway between Will
mington and State Road has
not proved its worth and
more in expediting traffic,
particularly the north-bound
trunk into which home-com-
ing cars by the thousands
pour from lower Delaware
and Route 40 at State Road?
1t is almost inconseivable
how such a procession Of
autos could be handled with
out the present number Of
lanes south Of Wilmington.
"The same sort of a traffic
burden is developing on the
Capitol Trail between Will
mington and Newark. At
tendance of thousands of per-
sons at the Stanton races has
imposed additional conges-
tion. The State Highway
Commission has recognized
the urgency of widening that
highway. Citizens hope that
a modern traffic way, prefer
ably a dual highway, will be
built eliminating numerous
curves and bottle-necks will
supplant the present Capitol
Trail. Time will justify that
project, too"
Smyrna times., 1937-07-22

a body of tradesmen by day, who
made wholesale robberies from
French museums and churches by
night, revealed that the art trade
Of London, Paris, and New York
unfortunately included members
wh.o were ready 20 become receiv-
ers of stolen property. The head
of the gang, Antoine Thomas, who
received a heavy sentence, boasted
at the trial that in two years he had
made profit Of 10000 pounds
(about S40O, ,0OO.
Steal Substitutes.
when in 1926 Romney's superb
portrait Of Mrs. Davenport made
the record figure of 60,800 pounds
at Christie's rooms few present at
the sale were aware that it was
nearly secured by a band of art
thieves. The owner Of the picture,
Sir William Bromely Davenport,
leaving his London fiat unoccupied,
had the picture sent to his seat in
Cheshire, another picture being sub
stituted. Soon after his departure
burglars entered the fiat and ripped
the substituted picture from its
frame; nothing has been heard of
it since. There is no question that
the thieves thought that they were
stealing the Romney.
''The famous manuscript known
as the Cardigan Chaucer, stolen by
a Belgian refugee from Lady Car
digan's seat, Deene Park, was miss
ing for nearly ten years after the
theft. It was found in the library
Of college near New York.
"A member Of the family CHANGED
to read a paragraph in a Scandi-
navian paper that the manuscript
had been bought by an American
college Investigation followed and
it transpired that it was first sold
in London for so pounds, purchased
by New York buyer for $50 pounds
and resold to the college for 4,OOO
pounds. It was at once handed back
ana later Sold Dy auction.
Morgan a Victim.
''The late John Pierpont Morgan
was on more than one occasion the
victim Of art thieves. He bought
for large sum the famous cope
stolen from the cathedral at Ascoli
from a dealer who had acquired it
in the ordinary course of business.
When its history came to light Mr.
Morgan at once presented It to its
rightful owners, the Italian govern
ment. The thefts Of Gainsborough's
portrait Of the Duchess Of Devon
shire and Lenardo's Mona Lisa
both Of which pictures were fortu-
nately recovered, are too familiar
to need recapitulation.
During the present century the
Victoria and Albert Museum, the
London Museum, the National Por-
trait Gallery, the Wallace Collec-
ton, the Guildhall Art-Gallery, the
Royal Academy and the Painted
Hall. Greenwich. have all suffered
at the hands Of art thieves.
ITO prevent thefts from museums
is by no means an easy matter.
Visitors naturally object to too close
a surveillance, and if the present
system were strengthened visit to
a museum would be robbed Of much
of its feeling Of freedom from re-
straint. The area Of some museums,
too, makes it practically impossible
for the staff to watch every exhibit.
There are, for instance. at the Vic
toria and Albert museum, several
miles Of galleries, and a few min
utes alone is unfortunately al-suf-
fcient for the thief to carry out his
plan"
