seems to be the man we want. Any
one who can sit at his desk in Wash-
angton and sink submarines the way
he does is bound to become a national
hero.
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Goetz, Mrs.
Evans, of Mt. Savage, Md., and Dis.
W. K. Housel of Lonaconing, Md.,
motored here Thursday and visited
with relatives.
The Boosters met on Tuesday
evening and decided to appoint a
committee to assist the firemen to
secure the next meeting of the Fire-
men of Western Pennsylvania, at
Meyersdale.
Carl Thomas met with a very
painful accident last week while at
work near Berkley Mills, erecting a
tipple. While chopping the bark
from one of the sleepers the ax came
off the handle cutting the foot in the
instep.
The strong Atlantic ball club
went to Hyndman last Saturday and
crossed bats with the club of that
place. The home team were the
best runners and wonthe game. It
seems to have been a Marathon as
the score was 10 to 11. Fate, of the
‘Atlantics made a home run which
was the feature of the game.
On Monday, July 16th, the Salis-
bury, Elklick Branch of ‘the Somer-
set County Chapter of the American
Red Cross was formally organized.
Mr. Levi Lichliter was elected chair-
man. A large number of Salisbury
citizens wcre present at the meeting
and by their attendance and interest
showed that Salisbury understands
the nation’s needs and will stand by
to the end.
An Accident.
On Monday evening, when Miss
Fern, the three year old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Clay A. Donges, was at
play in front of their home on Meyers
Avenue, she was run down by a
motorcycle, and suffered internal, al-
though it is believed not fatal in-
Juries.
The rider did not stop and his
identity is not known, other than the
police have his license number, and
identification then is but the question
of a short time.
The accident has caused a deep
feeling against carelessness on the
street, and it is hoped may be pro-
ductive of an era of mere care on
the part of motorists and auto
Dorothy Dalton in “Wild Winship’s”
idow.
Dorothy Dalton, Triangle star, ap-
pears in “Wild Winship’s Widow,” a
smart comedy written by John Lynch
and prodced under the supervision of
Thomas H. Ince, which will be exhib-
ited at the Summer Garden, Friday,
August 3rd.
It is a play of gaety, smart clothes
and courtships. The settings are of
Virginia, including lovely mountain
vistas, the imposing southern mansion
set amnog gardens of flowers and tall
trees and the spacious ballroom,
where Dorothy Dalton as queen of
the Hunt club presents the silver
trophy cups.
The star appears in the first part
of the picture as the weeping widow
ever devout to the shrine of her late
husband. Later she is transformed
into a very witching widow intent
upon enjoying life. The change in
her disposition is due to a discovery
that her hero had been a libertine,
who had married her for her money
So she lays off her weeds, assumes
dashing gowns and enters upon a
round of social pleasures with the
purpose of attracting Morley Mor-
gan, a former admirer, who feigned
indifference in order to win her com-
pletely from her mistaken hero
worship.
“The Snarl” Stars Bessie Barriscale.
Bessie Barriscale plays twin sisters
in a new Triangle play, “The Snarl”
produced under the supervision of
Thomas H. Ince, which will be shown
at the Summer Garden on Tuesday.
For continuous suspense and per-
fection of the mystifying dual role
this play stands out as a screen gem.
Miss Barriscale has never created
finer character studies than the twin
sisters, one of noble, inspirational
charm and the other a frivolous
creature without soul.
The story, which is by Leona Hut-
ton and Lambert Hillyer, concerns
Helen Dean, who on the eve of he
operatic debut is crippled. Her sister
Marion, a vain, selfish girl, is sub-
stituted to act the part, while Helen
sings the words {from ‘behind the
scenes. Intoxicated with praise and
the admiration of men, Marion ig-
nores all detates of conscience and
morality and pursues a course that
involves the destinies of her sister,
a young millionaire and his secretary.
Charles Gunn is leading man for
the star, and Howard Hickman, Ag-
gie Herring, Thomas Guise and J.
Barney Sherry form the supporting
company. The production was di-
rected by Raymond B. West, with art
supervision by Robert Brunton.— Ady
Investigation
Will prove the attractive-
ness of a conservative enter-
prise financed and being well
equipped, well managed by
men of the highest standing.
Indications are that returns
will be quick and enormous.
