Dream*
\)h, man must dream of gladness1
wherever his pathways lead,
And a hint of something better is
written in every creed;
And nobody wakes in the morning but
hopes ere the day is o'er,
To have come to a richer pleasure
than ever he's known before.
>'or'.man is a dreamer ever. He
glimpses the hills afar,
And plans for the joys off yonder
where all his tomorrows are;
When trial* and cares beset him, in
the distance he still can see
A hint of a future splendid and the
glor.y that is to be.
. " ?Edgar A. Guest.

TRACKLESS TRAIN IN < AMDBN
Spends Thursday Night Her? Knroute
To New York and Foreign Porta
People of Camden on last Thursday
and Friday were given the opportunity
to observe something new in
the way of transportation equipment.
It Was America's first Trackless
Train which arrived early Thursday
afternoon enroute from lx>s Angeles
to New York. It has proved so sueeessful
a method of promoting better
roads and!|>ctj.er motion pictures that
it is to be taken abroad and exhibited
throughout the British Isles and later
upon the Continent, where it will
travel extensively through France,
| Holland, Belgium, Germany, Spain,
Italy and other European countries.
The foreign trip . will be sponsored
by the Metro-Goldwyn film company
which is conducting the Trackless
Train's transcontinental trip in
America.
The train, which consists of a locomotive
with tender and Pullman', has
already proved ita reliability in
trip from Indianapolis, where it was
made, to New York. Extraordinary
interest has been aroused everywhere
by the special, thousands of people
turning out. to welcome it^at every
atop. Official delegations greeted its
arrival in Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus,
Wilmington, Baltimore, Washington,
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and
New York. Mayor Kendrick of Philadelphia
rode with his cabinet on the
observation platform in the Quaker
City; In New York-CityMayor John
F. Hyian inspected the special and
pronounced it the most ingenious contrivance
he had ever seen.
This interest in the Trackless Train
has already spread to JEuroP?' where
various items in-British and Continental
dailies have commented upon
its trip with appropriate Attuitons to
American enterprise and ingenuity.
Particular interest is manifested in
the Pullman, which contains diuiivg
and sleeping accommodations for five
persons. The fact that it is electrically.
heated, lighted and ventilated,
has hot. and cold running water, and
has even a complete radio equipment
.for the entertainment of its passengers,
has excited interest and wonder
abroad as well as throughout' the.]
United States. Correspondents have
pointed out that the observation plat- j
form is a remarkable innovation in
the motor industry, the platform be-1
4pg-large /enough to "accommodate
lounge chairs and to permit an unobstructed
scenic view. The foreign
reports Include a description of, the;
locomotive also, in which mention is
made' of v its two 90-horse power
motors,, its hydraulic brakes and of
.the bells and whistles with which it;
^s.also equipped. , j
T. Lee Little, managing directov ofi
the Majestic Theatre and local ex- j
hibltor of Metro-Goldwyn releases,1
,was first to officially greet the-train I
and i** crew and, accompanied by
members of the police department,
was given, a ride over the city.
"The train^ which is in charge of a
crew of four men has traveled 19,000
miles to date, covered 3p states and
'8* governors have ridden on the train
for short distances. The . outfit . is
made .up like a miniature locomotive
and Pullman coach. The crew U
made up of Eddie Carrier, manager;
Wjll F*T*ons, engineer; Jack Rush,
fireman; Merton Holmes, colored
porter. A pilot car with radio equipment,
pteceeda the train about fortyeight
houfs to report on the condition
S6t the route.
Hbavy rains and . melting snOws
from late March snows have created
flood*-conditions "in several of the
western states; notably in Indiana
and Illinois. Portions of Decatur, 111.,
were^^^Dooded . Wednesday. Fqf$
Wayne, Ind., was. threatened by rising
waters in the Maunee river, whkh
has reached a 15 foot stage, with
higher water expected yesterday.
. .Karl Kieferle, a discharged waiter,
shot Mrs. William Watson and Henry
Kothe, proprietors of a road house
on the outskirts of Freeport, Long
Inland, Tuesday morning, and then
Walked to a police station,* surrendered'and
told what he had done.*

11 o'clock and it was 1 o'clock in the
