and as Mr.. Knox was driving away
from the White House the group of

workmen were busy at the DUPONT
building this morning arranging the
tuberculosis exhibit OF the Pennsyi-

tuberculosis. and it is expected that
the exhibit will be ready In every de-

morrow afternoon. An Invitation has
been extended TO Governor Lea to for
mally open the exhibit but as yet it
is uncertain whether he will be able
10 be present at the appointed time,
owing to numerous engagements. In
his absence the exhibit will probably
be opened by General Charles Bird,
president OF the Delaware Branch Of
the National Red Cross Society.
The opening Of the exhibit will be
the most active so far taken in the
fight against tuberculosis In Delaware.
The exhibit. aside from its utility in
presenting every method Of combat
ting consumption, is most Interesting
as a revelation of the absurd ideas Of
the average person as to tuberculosis
and its "incurabillty."

March rs. are having little difficulty
fllling their assignments, and Il Is prob
able that all the churches will be able
20 report that they have found homes
for the delegates assigned 20 them by
next month. Each Methodist church
has been given number OF delegates
10 care for during the week of the
conference according to the size and
ability Of its congregation to entertain.
and most OF them have already indi-
Gated that they viii be amply able TO
take care OF the several hundred dele
gates who win be in this city during
the conference week.
The committee which assigned the
number Of delegates to each church
several weeks ago comprised Presiding
Elder A. S. Mowbray The Rev. II. A.
G. Westerheld, the Rev. Dr Hiram

in making the assignments. and tho
pastors Of the churches now report the
placing Of delegates in the care OF their
congregations to Presiding Elder Now

, reports made so far show that despite
the MANI ministerial and lay delegates
and unofficial visitors who viii be in
the city during the conference. the
assignments are being readily filled.

that more than one family wish to
