neighborhood to call him otherwise.
So "Tex" it became and "Tex" it has
been ever since.

1.-THE bridge is bound to come even
tually. There is a public demand for
it on every hand that will not go
unanswered. In my short experience
in Congress I have conferred with
many of my colleagues, and I have
yet to find one who is not sympathet-
ic to this project. They all feel that
it would be one of the greatest bene-
fits that could be given to eastern
section of the United States.
From a postoffice and post roads
standpoint there is a real need for
this bridge. 1t would assure proper
mail delivery at all times, and at all
seasons of the year; whereas, in the
past, on many occasions, there has
been no mail delivery. In bad wealth
er it would save a drive of 100 miles
around the head of Chesapeake Bay
to reach a given point in southern
Delaware"

GINGER ROGERS
IN A MUSICAL
AT THE MARVA
Will Be On The Boards Three
Nights: Monday, Tuesday
Wednesday, 12-13-14

The high velocity romance Of two
famous people lends a melodious
theme to "Shall We Dance" RKO
Radios new Fred Astaire- Ginger Rog-
ers musical.
Unlike their earlier offerings in
which the two dancing aces were seen
as struggling aspirants for fame, the
new picture starts out with both por-
traying stars at the top of their re-
spective fields. Astaire as world
renowned ballet dancer, Miss Rogers
as an equally well-hown revue ar
tiste.
Because they are so famous, their
every action becomes news. Conse-
quently, when Astaire's manager care
lessly gets rid of an importunate wo-
man by telling her that Astaire is
married, the rumor spreads like wild
fire, and when Astaire and Miss Rog-
ers are seen together on transatlan-
tic liner, it is assumed that Miss Rog-
erS is the secret bride.
The resulting avalanche of public
ity makes for hilarious complications.
especially when the two are assigned
to adjoining suites at New York
hotel. With such noted funsters as
Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore
in the featured cast, the comedy ele-
ment in the picture is said to be fast
and furious and deft to balance the
romance of the story.
Spectacular dance numbers, with
Harriet Hector, Americas leading bal
lerina, adding her tersichorean talents
to the work of the two stars, and SIX
song hits written by George and Ira
Gershwin, make up the high lights Of
the film, which is being hailed as the
finest of all Rogers offerings
Mark Sandrich directed the Pandro S
Berman production.

THE BAY BRIDGE
PROJECT REFUSES
TO REST: EASY
Delawarean Now Wants To Get
Behind Proposition If The
Marylanders Will Work
PROPOSES BRIDGE FROM
s. POINT TO STEVENSVILLE

1t seems that the project Of build
ing a bridge across the Chesapeake
Bay will not down. The Baltimore
Sun of Wednesday contains the fol-
lowing:
Representative Allen @(Dem., DELI
author of bill to provide for the con-
struction of highway bridge across
the Chesapeake Bay from Sandy Point
to Stevensville, Queen Anne's county,
says, eff the people of Maryland will
get behind this project we will build
a bridge across the bay"
The bill seeks an appropriation OF
$40 ,O0O, 900, but the Representative
said this could be amended to provide
for not less than $2O,0O0,OOO. The
span would be constructed under the
Bureau Of Public Roads, Department
of Agriculture.
Mr.. Allen said:
There has long been real need for
such a bridge and the question as to
why it has not heretofore been built
can be best answered by the citizens
of Maryland. 1t is now a national
issue, however, and the bill I have
introduced providing for its construc-
ton is as much an emergency bill as
ever has been introduced in Congress.
1.-THE project is most certainly eco
nomically sound and the small amount
of money involved for the great
amount of good that will result will be
returned to the Government many
fold in the future generations to
come"
Mr.. Allen added that, if the bridge
is constructed, land values on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and Della
ware would increase not less than $5
an acre.
"In my opinion, such span would
result in the establishment of addi-
tional seashore resorts along the coast
in the two States" he said, and con-
tinued:
$50 strongly do believe in the real
merit of my bill that intend to work
for its passage every minute of my
stay in Congress. If my efforts in this
direction are helpful to this project I
will consider my time well spent.
"Not only would this bridge bene-
fit the citizens of Delaware, but also
those living on the entire Eastern
Shore of Maryland and Virginia. In
giving quicker transportation to this
area it would benefit every State in
the Union east of the Mississippi riv
er."
Mr.. Allen also said: 81 consider this
bridge a real military necessity. In
support of this statement l under
stand that very recently a group of
high army officers visited Lewes, Del,
to look into local conditions, and in
spected sites in the vicinity of Lewes
for the purpose of establishing a new
army coast defense unit.
"While no official announcement
has been made that Lewes will be
made the headquarters for this new
link in our coast defense system yet,
the strategic location of Lewes at the
mouth of the bay is expected to car
ry much weight.

Indeed, it could hardly be called
nest-a mere little depression lined
with a few dead leaves and little,
a very little, dried grass. With no
eggs in it, it didn't look like nest
Had you happened that way, you
wouldn't have noticed it. Had you
looked right at it you probably wouldn't
have recognized it as nest.
Those who like elaborate nests
can build them If they want to, but
it would be waste of time and worse
for us to do thing of that kind" de-
clared Mrs. Longbill.
ut would be a lot of unnecessary
work, and that is something I never
did believe in," replied Longbill, but
I can't say that see it would be any
worse than that. In fact, if it were
not for the work OF building it, I
think a nice nest would be fine"
"Oh, you do, do you? Well, I don't"
retorted Mrs. Longbill. Surprising
we built what you call a nice nest,
How long would it be before that nest
was discovered? The first one passing
this way would see it. They couldn't
help it, in these surroundings. This
isn't much of a nest to look at, which
is exactly the way I want it to be.
The less it looks like nest the better.
DO you see what I mean?"
Longbill nodded. Il guess you are
right, my dear" said he. You usual
ly are"
There is another point" contin-
ued Mrs. Longbill. Our babies are
not helpless, like the babies Of those
who nest in trees or bushes They
can run almost as soon as they are
out of their shells, and, as you very
well know, we lead them away at

| once. Woodcock babies have no use
for nest, and certainly the eggs need
nothing more than this"
This ended the matter. In due
time four eggs were laid, and then
began the long, patient sitting on
those eggs, to keep them warm until
the babies should appear. The Long
bills took turns, one covering the
precious eggs while the other hunt
ed for food and had change Of scene.
Even after the eggs were laid Long
bill continued to be a little doubtful
of the safety Of that location, but Mrs.
Longbill's confidence was not in the
least shaken
1t was the day after the fourth
egg was laid that Mrs. Longbill and
her confidence were put to the first
test, the severest kind Of test. Long
bill saw it, and after that he had no
further criticism to offer in regard
to Mrs. Longbill's choice of a place
for that nest.
Longbill was hunting for worms in
soft ground at the edge of the alder
thicket just little way from the
mound where the nest was. He was
busy, was Longbill, drilling holes in
the soft earth after worms he knew
were there, but not too busy to keep
watch. So 1t was that he saw Reddy
Fox enter that little swamp and begin
to quarter back and forth through it.
Hunting for u.s." thought Long
bill. He knows we have returned
and he knows that we are living In
this little swamp. He knows, too,
that we are among the first to nest,
and he hopes to find that nest and
surprise one Of us on it. wish that
nest was hidden better"
He saw Reddy turn toward that
little dry mound with the clump of
small birches, and his heart sank.
Yes, sir, his heart sank He wasn't
so fearful that Mrs Longbill would
be caught, for he had no doubt that
she saw Reddy and she could take
to her swift wings in time. But when
she did Reddy would discover the
secret of the nest and eggs.
Longbill held his breath Reddy
was so close to Mrs. Longbill that
it looked as if he might step on her.
Why, oh why, didn't she fly? Reddy
crossed that little mound and con-
tinued his hunting in another part
of the swamp. Mrs. Longbill hadn't
moved. She had stood the test of
her courage and her confidence
