1t is all right to let your little
girls and Boys run about barefoot
ed once in a while, but not all the

become big, broad and swollen, and
they won't thank you for that

Lawrance D'Orsay. I for one should
hesitate before attempting to run
a bluff on him. The percentage of
Americans who are quicker than he

MERCHANTS WANT
CELEBRATION

A Home Coming Week celebration
Is desired by many Wilmingtonians
and II Is likely that the matter will
be brought up at the next meeting OF
the Board Of Trade and Mercantile
Association. Throughout this section
OF the country these celebrations are
the regular thing at this time Of year
and are trade builders for the cities
holding them.
An idea OF combining such a cele-
bration with the New Castle County
Fair has been suggested; another con
templates its being held about Hal
lowe'en time. but all seem to be a uni
as to the benefit Il would be to th'
city and its merchants.
1t is too late for any such celebration
this year, but the appointment of a
competent committee to undertake tbs
work Of arranging such an event fol
next year is advocated by many.
II Is certain that the matter viii be
brought up by some member at this
next meeting OF the Board Of Trade
and Mercantile Association.
