ROB CITY OF THE
STAMP GLORY
Board Of Trade to See That
Wilmington Gets the
Credit for Idea

The fact that Wilmington has been
overlooked as the city in which
the Christmas and New Year
stamps Of the Red Cross origi-
mated has spurred the Board OF Trade
to take up the matter with the Della
ware Branch OF the Red Cross Society,
and 1t is probable that the board. at Its
January meeting Will participate with
the Red Cross TO have the city credited
as the originating place OF the famous
little stickers.
The course which will probably be
pursued was suggested at meeting Of
the officers Of the Delaware branch IN
the Offices Of the treasurer of the Red
Cross In this district in the Equitable
Building this morning Some days ago
the Red Cross communicated with the
Board OF Trade. suggesting means OF
properly advertising the city through
the stamps, and the letter was referred
to the Civic Improvement Committee,
OF which w d. Brlnckle is chairman.
Mr.. Brinche attended the meeting OF
the Red Cross this morning and was
much pleased with the plan suggested
by the society. The subject Will be
discussed at the meeting Of the Civic
Improvement Committee Of the Board
of Trade Monday afternoon, and win
be brought before tho board at its
January meeting.
According to the plan suggested this
morning, the Board OF Trade win have
printed post cards with views Of the
city and OF the tuberculosis camp In
Brandywlne hundred, and will buy
from the Red Cross Society a supply Of
stamps 20 be placed on the cards with
the addendum. "The Red Cross stamps
originated in this city" This step was
actuated by the fact that New York
papers have printed long articles about
the stamps, asserting that they origi-
mated in Philadelphia
The post cards with the stamps viii
then be placed on sale throughout the
city by the Board Of Trade 1t is ex-
pected that the sale OF the cards will
reimburse tho board for its expenditure
for the stamps and tho printing Of the
cards. and the Red Cross, In addition,
will be so much the better prepared for
its anti tuberculosis campaign.
The New Year stamps Of the Red
Cross are selling rapidly. After New
Year The Red Cross win probably make
arrangements to have the stamps is
sued throughout the year.

REST ROOM FOR
COUNTRY FOLKS
Suggested by Superintendent
Spaid to the Board Of
Trade Committee

The Civic Improvement Committee
of the Board of Trade will have for
its consideration at its meeting Mon
day afternoon a letter written to the
Board of Trade by Professor A. r.
Spaid, county superintendent Of
schools, suggesting what will strike
many OF the city officials as a decided
novelty. He has suggested that the
Board Of Trade take steps TO have the
city place a rest room in back Of the
police station for marketmen and their
wives and children and for other out
of-town visitors and shoppers Pro-
fessor Spaid reminds the board that
the city is dependent in large part
upon the farmers for most of the pro-
duce used by Wilmington housekeepers
and that as they some times come long
distances in the bitter cold Of mid
winter, generally accompanied by their
wives and children, the city in justice
should provide for them a place where
they could rest and warm themselves
and leave their families. Professor
Spaid writes:
This room could be placed back Of
the police station and no doubt be
heated from the same plant and per-
haps the matron of the station could
look after the rest room. Plenty OF
easy chairs can be supplied and a
readin gtable with a toilet and COM
fort for all the market people from
the country, as well as for our own
women Who go to market. This would
not be a thing to be laughed at /
trust that you will look upon this sub
ject with favor"
Professor Spaid is a member Of the
Patrons OF Husbandry. and has taken
much interest in farmers and farm
ing.

WATCHED BY EMPLOYERS,
is CAUGHT STEALING
Robert Baker of the Arnold Furniture
Company Arested-Buyer of Goods,
Supposed Accomplice, Is
Exonerated

Charged with stealing from his en-
ployers, a warrant was sworn out yester-
day for the arrest of Robert Baker,
employed by the Arnold Furniture COM
pany 64S-65O South Main street.
According to the police Baker has been
suspected some time of petty larceny and
his employers have been watching him.
The opportunity came when Baker took
81 worth of netting and disposed of 1t to
Roy Thigpen.
At first it was believed that Thigpen
was an accomplice of Baker and had been
knowingly purchasing stolen wares. A
careful examination by Prosecuting At
torney Ford, however, convinced him
that Thigpen was innocent. Charges
against Thigpen were dismissed
Baker will be brought up for trial to-
day.
