PRAISE FOR CHIEF JUSTICE LORE.

One of the Most Noticeable and Attractive
Figures In the General Conference.
The following is an extract from q
letter received by local Methodist
from friend in another city, who is
Methodist minister and was a delegate
to the General Conference, about which
he was writing:
"The Chief Justice has been one of
the most noticeable and attractive
figures in the hody, greatly, even sElen-
didly, useful as chairman of the iudIoi-
ary committee. The body gave him
high respect and grew fonder of him
day by day. No man was more truly
popular. An artless dignity of nature
and personal charm of geniality made
him attractive and admirable. His
clear head and quite concise utterance
made the Conference like to listen TO
Elm. Wilmington contributed to the
Conference fine element of sweet,
high minded manhood when it elected
him.

Miss Mclaughlin declined re-elec-
tion. She was thanked for her efficient
work.
The president, Miss Shaw, spoke of
the work of the association. In the
three years Of its organization 1921
have been paid 10 sick benefits, and
500 in death benefits. She expressed
the hope that the time is not far dis.
tant when every public school teacher
will be a member Of the association.
The benefits aecrping are not a charity,
but are contributed to equally by all of
the members The funds OF the asso-
citation have not been invested, upon
the advice of its attorney. but project
is under way by which portion of the
fund will soon be invested at per
cent interest. Miss Shaw paid tenoer
tribute to Miss Emma 0akford, whose
death occurred in the year. Miss Oak
ford was heartily interested in the sue
cess of the association and labored to
make ID credit to our teachers.
An effort will be made to increase the
membership the coming year, and the
entertainment committee, Miss Clara
Mendinhall, Prof. A. n. Berlin and
Miss Alice Jacklnan, will endeavor to
devise plans to aid the association
financially. The bazaar which was held
for this purpose netted Sl,650 to the
founding fund. In Brooklyn, Now
York and Philadelphia similar societies
not only have fund available fol sick
benefits, but have large annuity funds
made possible by bequests or the efforts
of public spirited citizens, and those
who are interested in its SUCCESS hope
to see the Wilmington association grow
in influence and Importance.
Miss Shaw announced that the mem
bers are beneficial during the vacation
in July and August, and blanks may
be obtained flom her by those who ex-
Iect to leave the city.

Pusey g. Jones Co. Comtemplates Erecting
an Additional Building.
The facilities of the Pusey Il Jones
Co. are being taxed to such an extent
that the company contemplates build
ing large addition to it's iron foundry.
The present foundry is on the line Of
Lombard street, between Railroad ave
nue. and the Christiana River. and in
order to make the extension it will be
necessary to occupy portion of that
section of Lombard street, which is
now leased by the company from the
city and is virtually in the city's
possession, being closed in by gate.
This morning the company made ap-
plication to the Street and Sewer De-
partment for permission to pat up the
building as indicated above. The
matter was referred to City Solicitor
Conrad, with view to ascertaining
whether there is any legal objection to
the request being granted.
The company has had the plans drawn
and will begin work as soon as Eermis-
sion is given, as the building is needed.
