Gao. Canal Opened
To Canoe Travel
AsFar as sSeneca
Failure of Congress
To Appropriate Funds
Hampers Upkeep

Canoeists may now use the entire
length of the c. g. o. Canal from
Georgetown to near Seneca, Md,
officials of the National Capital
Parks announced today.
Canal banks along the stretch be-
tween lock 5, just above Chain
Bridge, and Great Falls have held
for several days, park officials say
They warn, however, that new leaks
might occur at any time, necessi-
tating temporary draining while the
leaks are caulked. The trouble
some section was dry for 16 years
until water was let into the canal
this summer.
Responsibility for detecting leaks
along the canal lies now with en-
rollees of two C. C. c. camps and
engineers hired as part of the c.
c. c. canal project. This, it was
learned, has been caused by the
failure of Congress to appropriate
funds for the further restoration or
VI lllC Cdlldl.
The S500000 allocated by P. w.
A. for initial restoration under the
program of the National Park Serv-
ice virtually has been used up. Only
enough funds remain to extend
sanitary and water lines to Great
Falls. Despite an income of ap-
proXimately $4,000 received annu-
ally by the Government from
Georgetown industries using the
water, Congress has refused to ap-
propriate new funds for the canal.
Park officials say there are no
lock keepers or trained canal work
men to keep the waterway func-
tioning, and they admit that I'M
expected fluctuations in the Poto-
mac River might cause considerable
damage to the canal, which might
be averted by trained employees.
The National Park Service is ex-
pected to ask Congress to provide
for the canal in 1912 appropria-
tions.

Athlete Dies In
Hanging Accident

Accidental hanging was given
as the reason for the death of
Wendell Dean Postle, Jr. aged
16, in the basement of his home
1864 Colilngswood road, Colum-
bus, Saturday night. He was the
son of the dean of Ohio State
University's college of dentistry
and grandson of the late DR..
H. II. Postle, Newark.
According to friends, the Ar
lington High school athlete had
seen a motion picture Saturday
night in which a player narrowly
escaped death by hanging.
Young Postle, it was said, went
to his home to determine wheth-
er it could be done. 1t was dur
ing this experiment the acci-
dent occurred, it was believed. A
few moments before he had been
talking with his mother, friends
said.
Funeral services were held in
Columbus Monday with inter
ment in Newark.

Ruling On
Pensioners

Funeral directors who have
buried old age pensioners who
have died since September g.,
1899, have a preferred claim of
only 5000 against the estate of
the decedent instead of the $3.50
claim enjoyed against non-pen-
sioners' estates, Attorney Gener-
al T. j. Herbert has ruled.
His opinion also holds that
Section 1887 General Code,
providing for a lien by the state
on pensioners property for all
pensions given, is inconsistent
with the general law; was pass
ed subsequent to the general
law; and so repeals the general
rule in the case of old age pen
sioners.

Muriel Kerr, Brilliant Pianist, Will
Close Cooperative Concert Series

played thirty engagements from
coast to coast. Since then she
has given six New York recitals,
appeared twice with the Phila-
delphia Orchestra as we'll as
with the orchestras of New York,
Cincinnati, st. Louis, Denver,
Rochester and Dallas, played on
important radio hours, and been
featured at such major musical
events as the Worcester Festival
SO much has been written
about Muriel Kerr's extraordin-
ary successes and musical gifts
that a few words about her per-
sonality may not be amiss. Still
in her middle twenties, her gen
eral education is far above that
of the girl of her age, and she
has read extensively and under
wise guidance. She has had the
inestimable advantage of at
tracing the attention and hold
ing the interest and friendship
of leading personalities in the
world of music and literature,
and partly through these asso-
Citations her richly endowed and
singularly mature mind has de-
veloped into unusual breadth.
John Erskine, the well-known
author, is one of those who is
taking great interest in Muriel
Kerr's exceptional gifts.
Muriel Kerr will present the
final concert in Newark's Coop
erative Associations series.

Warns Against
Job Promises

Statements by candidates for
office that they can reward
workers with census jobs were
branded at Mount Vernon as
completely lacking any founda-

District Supervisor.
"To avoid misunderstanding
or disappointment" explained
Harper, "it should be known that
enumerators will be chosen in
accordance with the fixed pro-
cedure of the census act and no
candidate will have anything at
all to do with their selection"

A Few Hints On
Summer Clothes
Given By Mare

With the first scorching rays of
the sun we all rush frantically to
the closet ara drag out what re-
mains Of last summers wear, groan
inwardly or aloud, clap our hats on
our heads and set out in quest 6
some cool clothes.
Unfortunately, that's just about
the system we do use when caught
short by the first hot days. But
those of us who buy our SUNNI. er
wardrobe in haste, have a good
three months to wilt and repent
our thoughtless purchases.
CHOOSE WASHABLE
MATERIALS
Unquestionably, the first requi-
site Of summer dress in comfort.
There are so many attractive wash
materials on the market today, so
many daintly- looking sheers, that
there is no reason why the modern
woman should suffer from the heat
Unduly.
Unless economy Is no concern
cf yours, be sure that the ma
terialS you choose are washable.
The heat being what it is, few OF
us can wear a dress more than one
day without Tubing. 1t is my con-
viction that cottonS, linens and al
lied materials are cooler than silks,
but if you have a preference for
silks. there are plenty of pretty,
cool-looking washable silks. .
The girl who STARTS out her day
in a dress freshly washed ana
starched feels better able to cope
with the problems before her than
if she is worried about whether she
looks a bit limp and dragged be-
fore the day has gotten under
way.
Another important factor to con-
slider in selecting your summer
wardrobe is whether the fabric VIII
held up throughout hard day
without looking too limp and
mussed. Printed dresses, as rule,
show m,lss less than solid colorai,
and colors look less wilted after a
few hours heat than all white.
