LOYALTY.

r OYALTY-patriotism is an excellent trait
IL OF character 1t is not to be confined 10
our personal relations with each other to our
daily intercourse with our fellows and our friends.
1t extends beyond that and embraces altruism,
consideration Of the feelings of our fellows Such
LOYALTY is not merely read of in books but it is
prachced increasingly in our daily life. Ameri-
cas- are a loyal people. They love their country.
The people of no nation, perhaps, are more
staunchly loyal to their government than are
Americans.
Considered in its smaller sense, people arc loyal
to their State and to their city 1t is good SEN
timent to encourage Dclawarcans are and
should be proud Of Delaware They should ever
keep in mind that this State is our home and that
we should love it, and do everything in our power
to make it a better State, State where just laws
are enacted, where good government is enforced,
where every man has fair opportunity and equal
treatment and chance for a reasonable liveli-
hood
Wilmingtonians should then be devoted to their
city They should assist in every way possible
to advance the interests of the city and those who
live here. Keeping before the people of these
matters conduces to the growth and betterment
OF the city, to the enlargement of a civic pride into
which loyalty developes and to the upbuilding of
the city
Wilmington, in many ways is remark
able Its natural advantages are not exceeded by
those Of any other place of the size in the coun-
try. We have been most favoraby located.
These advantages are called to our attention
whenever persons from other places visit Viii
nington. We are city of homes, OF factories,
OF trade. Of parks of scenery not unsurpassed.
Therefore we should be loyal to Wilmington
manifest this sentiment in every way; deal with
those engaged in business here; support them,
just in the larger sense we are loyal to the gov
eminent Patriotism and loyalty begin at home,
and there is an industrial and commercial patriot-
ism just as there is political patriotism but some
people are prone to forget it. There is no better
opportunity for manifestng this every day pa
triotsm and loyalty than during this Christmas
season, when we are spending our money to make
our friends and relatives happier in the enjoy
ment OF the Christmas season.

form of the Delaware Republicans during the

said to have sixty balloons al these
posts. But they are Of the Ronsteer
able kind, like those which have been
contesting for the International cup.
Efforts to develop balloons which can
be steered and propelled against the
wind are now in progress and already
nave met with striking success.
France set the pace in this direction.
The Lebaudy brothers produced La
Patrie, gigantic dirigible balloon.
whose maneuvers over Paris have
aroused much interest. The French
government has bought this airship
and has set aside s., 900 900 for experi-
mentation with aerial vessels.
The Germans also have made great
progress in the construction of dirigi.
Bile airships. Last July a military d.
rigible balloon, manned by army :
GERS, sailed over Berlin for three hours.
On Sept "a Count Zeppelin. Ger
many's aged aeronaut, in a mammoth
airship carrying two assistants and
seven men to run the motors, sailed
for more than four hours above Lake
Constance, directing his course at viii
and attaining a speed of thirty-eight
miles an hour. This is believed to be
the most extraordinary achievement
thus far in the line of aerial naviga-
ton.
The British government is following
the example of France and Germany
in airship development. Last month
the Null Secundus, the first military
dirigible balloon to be constructed in
England, made its initial flight. Less
than three weeks ago it was sailed
thirty-five miles to London, whore it
was steered at will during a fight
lasting for a considerable time.

first Requisite Tn Bread

The first requisite of housekeeping
is to know how TO make bread. Most
women fail. and waste on this essen
tial. Good bread is half the meal. A
loaf of homemade bread contains one
half more nutriment than the same
amount of ordinary bakers bread.
Baked in quantities of four loaves, the
cost is not more than Accents loaf.
Good bread receipts are common
and If followed carefully one can not
fail. with bread mixer much labor
is eliminated and the work becomes a
joy. I would have every girl graduate
from The eighth grade able to make
good bread.
Next to breadmaking ! place the Sc
lection and proper cooking of the
nutritious cuts OF meats, which means
largely the cheaper cuts.
1t is true all meats have advanced
in price. The housekeeper should not
only know how % select the meat. but
also how to cook ii so 1t shall be ten
der. palatable and nothing lost in the
cooking. This can only be done by
understanding the slower methods OF
cooking.

For /, a barefoot boy once more,
Am filled with gladness to the core

The skies above are arched with blue,
The world, expeeta,t, waits my
sign
And then, with bullying cheeks and
strong,
blow challenge deep and long
Upon the prickly pumpkin vine!

And let me feel as lightly gay

STRANGE FIGHT
FOR DUKEDOM

London, Nov. 11.-Hundreds Of peo-
pie vainly fought for admittance to
the Marylebone police court yesterday
when the hearing of the famous bruce
mystery case was resumed. Herbert
bruce, son of the late Thomas Charles
bruce, is charged with perjury by his
nephew, George Hollamby bruce. The
charge is incidental to the bruce
claim to the estates of the Duke of
Portland and dates back to 1898. At
every step the case has been vigor-
ously contested by the present duke
of Portland In brief this remarkable
case centers about an old question of
time owner of the famous Baker
street bazaar, WHO was said to nave
died 43 years ago, was or was not the
same person as the eccentric fifth
Duke of Portland, who died in 1879.
Robert Caldwell of Richmond, N. Y,
! testified yesterday that he knew the
late Duke of Portland both as duke
and as T. C. bruce at Welbeck Abbey
and at the Baker street bazaar. Cald-
well treated tie duke at both places
for disease of the nose. Caldwell
swore that in conjunction with the
duke he arranged death and mock
funeral of ''Druce" so that his dual
personality could finally be buried. He
declared that at the dukes request he
employed carpenter to make col
fin. and purchased 200 pounds of lead
and put 1t In the coffin himself. The
/ funeral occurred the following day.
When shown two photographs. Cald-
we'll declared that they were photo
graphs of the Duke of Portland in the
character of T. c. bruce. Asked to
account for the beard shown In one
of the photographs. the witness re-
piled that he had seen the duke wear
a false beard and had even seen him
take It OF.

NAVIGATING THE AIR.
A Fascinating sport-or If IT Some
thing Else?

A Fascinating sport-or If 1t Some
thing Else?
The people of the United States re-
aize now as they never have realized
before the fascination which attends
aerial navigation. Aided by peculiarly
favorable weather conditions nine free
balloons, with pilots representing four
nations, have just made remarkable
records in the second international
balloon race. The international cup.
won last year by Lieut.. Lahm, repre-.
senting the United States, passes to
the keeping of Capt. Oscar Ersbsloeh
one of Germany's representatives
His balloon, the Pommern, made a
splendid flight of $50 miles from St
Louis, coming to earth only when con.
sfronted by the Atlantic ocean.
All the balloons made long flights,
eight OF them surprising the record
set by the winner of last years con-
test. Next years race in Germany is
bound to attract very wide attention
in view of the great success which
has attended the race this year. Fur
Their, Europe is very deeply interested
| in aeronautics, recent flights made by
dirigible balloons in France, Germany
and England having convinced observ
ing persons that the science of navi-
eating the air has now reached a point
where the practicability OF travelling
through that medium for nurnosas of
pleasure, business or war is no longer
in doubt.
France took the lead in applying
aeronautics to military equipment
Now Germany and England are vying
with France. Today, at stations on
the Franco-German frontier, rival air
ships face one another. Fance is
