Big freight steamers are ooming up the River Rouge and delivering cargoes of iron ore at the plant of the Ford company, bringing to fulfillment an other step of progress long planned by Henry Ford, f When the stea^nfer Cletus Schneider steamed out of the Rouge into the De troit river at 12:23 ‘o'clock July 12, It had completed the first delivery of iron ore by water direct to the docks of the company's River Rouge plant Carrying a cargo of 6,300 tons pf ore, the steamer en route from Two Har bors, arrived at the mouth of the Rouge at 6 o’clock Wednesday evening with a number .-of company officials aboard.-. ~ , The second steamer came in Thurs day night and from now on until the end of the season, lake freighters will come laden with ore at the rate of three a week, delivering an average, it is expected, of 27,000 tons of ore weekly. The projject or deepening and widen ing the River Rouge was begun in 1917, and varied from 76 to 100 feet in width and was far too shallow for navigation property rights on either side for the entire distance of the three miles were purchased\by Mr. Ford for suffi cient distance to permit a surface width of 300 feet and these were do nated to the government under the di rection of which all dredging opera tions have been carried out. The Ford company has completed a docking slip 2,614 feet* long and 260 feet wide and in addition has con structed a giant turning basin, ap proximately 1.200 by 1,200 feet which when fully completed, will be turned, over to the government for accept ance. „ The completion of the River Rouge project with itB short cut canal gives to the city of Detroit six miles of new water front. Jackie Coogan is to Star in Circus Play Forty years ago James Otis, a circus ifubllclty man and journalist, wrote what Is still considered the greatest juvenile classic, "Toby Tyler" or 'Ten Weeks With a Circus.” This famous book would have reached the stage long-ago were it not for the fact that a young actor who possessed a ma* Vurlty of ihistrlonism was not avail able But among the births of the year 1915 Was Included a son to Mr. and Mrs. Jack Coogan. Five years later Charles Chaplin discovered Jack Coogan, Jr. (Jackie), as «he wonder child of the scr6en7 Consequently, the screen has been enabled to dramatize “Toby Tyler” first, which it has done with the aid of Director Edwin Cline. The photoplay version, “Circus Days” was instituted at the Mark Strand theatre yesterday. , The acting ability of Jackie Coogan is not to be questioned; one can see easily in “Circus Days" why "Toby Tyler” could not be dramatized before his arrival-' There may be other talent ed. children who could have played Toby, but young Coogan le the Ideal boy for the p£rt of the. homeless lad who runs away with a circus and ex periences more Joy and sorrow within ten weeks than the ordinary mortal would expect to In a life time. One of the most amusing yet sentimental scenes In “Circus Daj%” Is that In which Master Coogan, selling peanuts and^ lemonade In a whit# coat that reaches to his torn .shoes, is called upon to substitute for the little equestrienne who has sprained her* ankle in a circus wreck. Though he suffers many Jolts and bruises, he at least succeeds in making his audience laugh so heartily that he is awarded the role of the youngest clown in the world and is thenafter 'billed as such. Legion Fights I. W. \y. and Stops Invasion Plan INDINAPOL1S, Ind., Aug., 11.—Act ivities of, members of the Industrial Workers of the World, In many sec tions of the country are being general ly opposed by the American' Legion. In many communities, the former ser vice men are “scotching the snake”— in this case the I. W. W.-^efore the sinister influence o fthe long haired revolutionaries is felt. Acording to one report a,bitter cam paign was waged on the legion re cently by the “wobblles” in the state of Washington, where four American! Legion members^ were murdered while parading- on Armistice day. An organi zer. with plenty"of money; was sent to Seattle and Hoqulam, and proceeded to distribute radical literature. How ever, the legion utilized the press of the Northwest, and by exposition ot the aims of the radicals, checked their program. A leading argument of the campaign waged on the legion was that the-'vet-' erans body was unfavorable to organi zed labor. This was refuted by the announcement that one o fthe leaders of the legion will address the annual convention of the American Federa tion of Labor, to be held in Portland, Ore., this fall. A proposed “invasion” of Porth Ar thur, Texas, by an army of 25,000 I. W. W. members, -in protest of the arrest of “three brothers” failed to mature I when the legion men; announced they I were ready to entertain the invaders, | on the rock piles of the state, and that the visitors would be given a fare of - “crusts and water** in the county jail while there. When members of the radical organi zation moved into the wheat fields of the Dakotas, ostensibly to work, but really to spread a vicious propaganda of discontent, in the opinion of many persons, the legion opened an employ men office in Aberdeen, S. D., and re commended as. harvest hands Only men known to bo of non-radica.1 tendencies.

Page,” in. preparing a biography of General Gorgas. - ' ■ The life of the great surgeon, whose achievement is perhaps the most dram atic adavnce in the science of medicine since Pasteur, is so full.^of significant and picturesque material that the work iB progressing slowly, b.ut/poubleday, Page and Company hope to publish it during the coming year.
