People down at the plant are unani mous in the prediction that one- 'day Mr. Glass will lead the clan of con struction engineers in America. Any- Iway he has made a wonderful start. He is with all of ' his achievements, bite of the most, human, of the .entire punch at the plant. . ' He " has -been too Ibusy, and will be too busyy to stop to think about what he has done, and Ko give himself credit for it.' There is none of the affectation . about hfan that unfortunately comes tol many -who achieve while young.' One - gathers that he is, personally speaking, about the same Glass that he was nine years ago when he was a time checker in New York. He is married and has two children, Ethel and Elwood, Jr., He lives in Sunset Park and has hought himself a Hudson since he came down here. A. W. Gordon, assistant and office manager for Mr. Towle, left yesterday for his home in Omaha, Nebraska. Not for keeps though. He is a manu facturer of tin cans, and the govern ment needs a lot of them to ship stuff to France in. Tin cans are a rather prosaic item in the industrial life of America, but there are a Ijt of them UBed, and Mr. Gordon makes more of them than anybody else in his part of the country. Some time since he was in Washington wtien there was a minor scandal going about the unsatis factory state of the tin can used to ship butter to France. All the but ter leaked out. Gordon found out what was the matter and they want ed him to take a place in the commis sary department as major of tin cans, or something like that. He didn't want to be a major, desiring to come OOWn here and hpln tSot Ik, oVi i nvo r-r? started. The government would not "orget about his tin can manufactory, and lately they wanted a lot of them, and it is probable that-Mr. Gordon will make them. He will be back. snortly. His ant is v'g enough to run itself, with an occasional look in from the big chief. Moreover, Mr. Gordon makes candy as well as tin cans. "I guess W A dirlTi flcri-i-ra -n i- Iat. ls out here quite low enough,"- re marked Mr. Dilka yesterday afternoon n discussing the possibility of Cap jain Kidd's gold being reached down Uiere.

'lmst. if not quite, the pleas an test place in the plant, even though there , al-e all the . implements of first aid at hand to patch up the possible casualties.": Vaughn tells a story in 4 7nanner f the renowned Ralph Bingham, known and beloved all over th country as one of America's typ ical humorists. Not too much like him, for there Is too much of his own genial personality in the telling to be like anybody else. His headquarters are located in the very midst of the plant, and all roads lead by it some time during . the day. Mr. , Vaughn is always there with a welcome to any chance caller. The roads were not built by his place, they Just grew there liwe pasture paths. No one ever, knows why a path through a pasture is laid out like it is, it Just happens so. Everybody just happens by his place, drawn by the force of : personal megnetism of the keeper of the "house beside the road." ' "It( looks like folks down here can't et used to .us Yankees," said Mr Bilks yesterday. "Your cooks, for in stance. We have had two so far at our house and one of them left, the other I chased off. She didn't like to work for us. She was used to work ing for a 'gentlemans that didn't have his breakfast until nine o'clock.' I have mine at 7 o'clock and don't get home to dinner until 7 o'clock in the evening." "There is another thing that is wor rying us a. little. It is this profiteer ing. This morning there was a dele gation of our men in my office to see me about their landlady charging them a dollar a week more for board because they work at the shipyard. They don't like it at all, and we may lose them. There are sporadic ins stances of this sort of thing breaking out here, not so important in them selves, but of grave concern when it is looked at from "the standpoint of the effect on the men. They talk about it among themselves and it spreads discontent among them." The shipyard men have come to Wil mington at considerable personal sac rifice, and great Inconvenience. They are doing their part in the building of the bridge of ships, but there is a shortsighted and unpatriotic set that look at the presence of the shipyards here as merely a chance to grab some thing. Generally, the spirit is to help with every possible co-operation. The newcomers feel that, and are grate ful for it. Then there is another min ority class that displays nothing but a disposition to grab while the grab bing is good, to lay the axe -to the goose-even before she is ready to lay the golden eggs. "People like that just as well march up and down the street waving a German flag," de clared the head ' of the corporation! 'A few more days will see the com pletion of' the concrete highway to the gates of the plant.. Yesterday work was begun from the plant itself, -and.-two gangs are now bending their, endeavors to meet. The county force is now-' "working about 5t)0 feet 'from the gate on the outside, and the state convicts working with -the corpora tion machinery are working from the timekeepers office outward. When complete the road will be one of the most magnificent highways in the state.' It i-18 feet wide, eight . solid .oiKete inches thick, and will be sur faced with tarvia. The south boule vard in Sunset Park will also be re built with concrete, giving an unin terrupted roadway from the center of town to the heart of the plant. THE A TRICAL Leo Adde and his Olympia Maids have already put up a new record for hot weather business at the Royal this week. It takes a mighty good show to get big crowds during the month of July and it has never before been done in Wilmington. With the putting on of his third bill for today and tomorrow, with new specialties by the Merkel Sisters, the Lary Harmonists, the Nutty Three and the Singing Cartoonist, Royal patrons will have indeed a rare treat, as Mr. Adde announces that he has saved his very best and biggest bill for this week-end. ' Bijou Eddie Polo is the latest chapter of "The Bull's Eye," the stellar attrac tion at the Bijou today, does some of the most hair-raising stunts that have ever been registered on any screen anywhere. Polo was signed for the movies be cause he could pull stunts that no other living mortal could pull. He has co-starred in two digerent serials, but never before has he had an oppor tunity to be starred in his own name. With fascinating Vivian Reed, he is setting a new high water mark with "The Bull's Eye." c. Little Mary McAllister comes again today, with the next to the final one of her big two reel heart throb dra mas, a thrilling and tear bringing story in which the diminutive star does some of her best work. Grand ' Viola Dana,-'.'star of "Blue Jeans," in her latest .metro feature, "Breakfast Ahead," is the attraction at the Grand today. ' J ' . Charming Viola" Dana again in a role that has been especially written to suit her winsome personality al though Miss Dana is a star of brilliant and versatile attainments who askB no: odds o , any one. "Breakfast Ahead" is a story of the sea and sea faring people. Bluff old "Captain" Scudd, Eric Pixley, .his , first mate, Mike Burley the: ruffian, willing tp steer "The Wasp" upon, the rocks in order to collect the insurance, money, and the . little waif, Ruth, who grows up with the sound of the . salt sea pounding in - her ears, becomes very real to the spectator.

Fairbanks interprets the role of Ned the spirit of D' Artagan through pre natal influence, his mother having been an ardent reader of Dumas. The self reliance of the modern woman as com parjedrjrith heisterJInijas .genera tions is strikingly shown," for" in many cases' the chivalry of the modern D' Artagnan is mistaken, and his gallant attempts to assist ladles in distress lead to rebukes from, the independent maidens who are on the alert to squelch flirtations pests.
