Effort May Be Made To Pro-
vide More Parking Space
On Front Street

City officials are making plans to
investigate the possibilities of intro
ducing 4%5-degree angle parking on
Front street in an effort to provide
more parking space for the city's
shoppers.
A preliminary investigation has
revealed that with cars parked at
an angle on both sides a lane slight
ly more than 20 feet wide for traf-
fic is left in the center.
1t is probable that with the Tide
Water Power company's buses US.
irg the street this will be found too
narrow for the pest handling of
traffic.
City officials said another plan
may be to allow angle parking on
n side of the street and continue
to use the present system on the
other side.
And then there's the parking
meter. This little device for ending
the parking problem may finally
find its way into Wilmington's
streets, according to city officials.
No action in this direction has been
taken as yet, but the time may not
be far distant when those parking
in the downtown section will have
to drop pennies or nickels into a
slot.
At any rate, the city officials are
going to make an effort to take
some measures toward relieving the
fcute traffic situation, particularly
on Front street.

COURT REPORTER
Decision in the Strange Case of
MTHE MAN WHO CHASED
THE CLOCK"
Continued From Page Nine)

FOR MRS.
CHERRY" With these words, the
Superior Court of Pennsylvania
awarded compensation to the wife
and children of "The Man Who
Chased the Clock" 1t was a most
unusual case of human interest,
where the conscientious scruples
OF an untiring employee led him to
collapse, and an untimely death.
The court held that the evidence
was complete and conclusive proof
and that twenty-five or twenty
three hours of continuous mental
work by the timekeeper in en-
deavoring to find the mistake con-
stltuted. "over-exertion." It was this
exertlon, the court maintained, that
was directly connected with, and
Of a cerebral hemorrhage.
In closing, the court made the
following pertinent remark: "The
novel feature of this case is that the
over-exertion involved was more
AASHeoA Ilidii we sec ITO
reason for holding that the over
exertion which may make an in
jury, or death resulting therefrom,
compensate, must be solely phys
ical in character"
In other words, a man can over
exert himself working at his desk,
as well as the laborer who tolls in
the street with pick and shovel.
This is the very thing that hap
pened to Bill Cherry, THE Man
Who Chased the Clock"

UNUSUAL VESSEL
IS INVESTIGATED
Effort To Launch eArmored'
Boat Will Be Made At
Nearby Sound Monday

An ursual motorboat which ar
rived here on a trailer from New
York recently was investigated
Yesterday by the U. S. Coast Guard
which later decided that there
wasn't much to it"
Just what led the coast guard to
make its probe concerning the boat
could not be learned but an officer
aboard the Modoc said after seeing
the boat he didn't feel any further
investigation was necessary.
The boat, brought here on a trail
er from Norfolk, is said to be 3 IA
fo.t scale model Of a 100-foot boat
built for the purpose of testing its
unusual bottom design. The hull i:
constructed of an interior sheet o.
steel, with a layer of cork, a layer
of tar and another sheet of steel or
the exterior. It had been described
before it's arrival herr as "armor
ed" but the coast guard said it dix
not believe the hull would be bullet
proof.
The boat carries two VS. motors
which are reported to turn up 49,
horsepower and it's owners are quot.
ed as saying the boat is capable o.
making Is miles an hour.
An attempt to launch the boa
here Thursday failed when tn,
trailer became stuck ir the mud al
Wrightsville Sound and present
plans call for the launching to be
held Monday.
The boat is 5 feet 4 inches wide
and has a draft or 80 inches.

- EULAH BARON return to Marysvile was
IL triumph. She had left one morning on
the 7.lO, scrawny. sallow-faced girl.
Her going had hardly made a ripple in the
life of the town. Not one person had come to
the station to see her off. But on the bright
June afternoon when she returned in her
own plane to open Marysvile's new airfied,
the city had declared holiday. Ropes and
policemen held back the crowds gathered to

foresight and determination that
had made her seek out Axel
Mckenna, who had flown many
times on her trip, and bluntly
ask him to stake her to an avia-
ton course, and if she proved
herself, to plane of her own. 1t
was foresight that had made her

herself to waiting on him, anus

"Of course" she had an

IAN right. You win. Get my

OF COURSE, I'll 60 to Marys-
ville," she said quickly. Write
them right away. Cancel any
engagements l have - Why, I
used to live in Marysville -
There are people there Id like to
see again"
The lines still filed past her,
men and women who would
hardly have looked at her in the
old days, now wringing her hand,
smiling, talking. But no Kathy,
no Paul! They had not moved
away, she knew that. Yet they
were not here to mark her
triumph. She could not get the
thought out of her mind. On the
way from the city hall to the
hotel she asked for a list of the
guests to be at the banquet given
that night in her honor. Quickly
she skinned through it. Paul's
and Kathy's names were not
among those invited.
"I'1l show you!" She had said
that day long ago. And now -
As she dressed, the thought
ranked. Of course they would
read about her return in the
papers, but she wanted to
watch them, to throw her
triumph in their faces. She could
not let the chance slip by. She
had to see them!
She glanced at her watch.
Twenty minutes to spare. Five
minutes to drive to their house
on State Street, five minutes
back, ten minutes to - And if
she were late, well, why not? She
was Beulah Baron. Let the
town and the mayor wait for her!
She tossed her brown head,
grabbed her black and white
cloak and gave herself a last
look in the mirror. She wore a
soft, lovely red dress; with her
once stringy hair neatly waved,
with rouge on her sallow cheeks,
she looked very different from
the plain, gawky girl who had
crept out of Marysville that
misty morning. She smiled in
satisfaction, walked down to the
first floor to avoid attention, out
a side door and into a taxi.
A few minutes later she was
standing on the steps of Paul's
house, ringing the bell. There
was what seemed to her an inter.
minable wait, the door swung
open and a woman peered out
at her in the gathering dusk.

welcome Bold Beulah, Brave

inc of a hundred flights and ex-
ploits. And when she stepped out
of her plane, roars from thou
sands of voices greeted her.
Later, after being whisked to
the city hall in the mayors car.
between rows Of cheering people,
she stood beside His Honor while
lines of people filed past: Don't
you remember me, Beulah? l

the boys and girls turn a cold
shoulder to her stunts, to her
raucous Watch me! Can you

ents look askance: What's that
wild Baron girl doing now?"
There was only one thing to
mar her satisfaction: in all the
crowd milling around her plane.
in the lines along the street,
among the hundreds shaking
her hand, she did not see either
Paul Rysing - tall, broad-shoul-
dered. red-headed Paul, the hero
of her school days - or kathy
West. little. blue-eyed. golden
haired, feminine kathy, who had
married Paul. And it was pri-
marily to see Kathy and Paul

that -"
Where is it," Beulah asked
indiferently.
"Oh. some dump l never heard
of. Let's see - Marysville -"
"Marysville?" She grabbed the
letter and stared at the head
ing. the signature, seeing again
those tree-lined streets along
which she had walked so often
alone; the little house where she
had lived; the trees, the roofs she
had climbed; the school at lunch
hour; the groups of laughing,
chatting girls and boys. She saw
herself, thin, straight haired,
lowering awkwardly on the out
skirts - and Kathy West, and
Paul - Paul, who somehow
couldn't seem to see that kathy
was just silly, soft little fool.
OHE remembered wildly one
afternoon when, riding her BIZ
cycle past kathy's house, she
had seen Kathy and Paul and
some others gathered on the
lawn. and suddenly, on an i'm
pulse, had turned in, dragged her
bike up on the piazza, and rid
den down the steps, along the
narrow pathway, through the
gate, around the house, gathering
momentum as she went, into the

smile touched Beulah's face. She shot side
long glance at Paul. You aren't afraid, bv
any chance, are you, Kathy?"
For moment there was silence, then
Kathy lifted her head, tossing her golden
hair. Eyes, l am
