"HOME COMING"
WEEK FOR STATE
Suggestion Made to LegisIa-
ture in Letter from
Josiah Marvel
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del. Feb. 4-Lieutenant-
Governor Mendinhall. in the Senate to-
day. had read letter from Josiah
Marvel, Of Wilmington. suggesting that
the Legislature establish a Home
Coming week in Delaware The sug
gestion was well received. Mr.. Mar
vers letter follows:
Hon. John NJ. Mendinhall, Lieutenant.
Governor, Dover, Delaware.
My Dear Lieutenant Governor.
Through you / desire to cali the at
tion OF the members of your body tc
the desirability of there being fixed
Home Coming week established for the
State Of Delaware Home Coming
week has become an established insti
tuition In Massachusetts and other
States. and two local attempts have
been made IN this state in this direc.
tion, one in Wilmington IN 1907 ana
one at Georgetown in 1908. Both OF
these affairs were successful in the
highest degree, and showed the incltna
tions Of cur home people to support
such occasions.
II is probable that no State in the
Union has sent out as many men IN
proportion 10 its population, as the
State OF Delaware, and it can be safely
said that the homing instinct OF Del
awareans who have left our state T.
stronger than that existing in the na
tives OF any other state In the union
our small territory. our close associa.
tion with each other, our fixed habits
and customs. which have come down
20 us through many generations, ALI
tend TO draw Delawareans together
and induce strong inclinations toward
home in the breasts of those who have
LETT the soil.
/ therefore beg to suggest 10 the
members of your honorable body thai
either by bill or joint resolution, q
week in each year be fixed ano
established as Delaware's Home Com.
ing week. and that the Governor be
authorized and directed to appoint a
committee annually, in January Of each
year. to take charge of the celebration
for that particular year. l do not
think Il necessary that any money be
appropriated for the use of this com.
mittee as our former experience in
Wilmington and in Georgetown has
proven that the citizens will be ready
and willing to furnish the necessary
funds. yet IL might be desirable &c
place IN tho hands OF the first commit
toe q small sum Of money in order thai
they might proceed promptly to the
making up of fun and complete lisi
OF the names Of all persons who car
trace their lineage to Delaware sol
and are now non-residents of thi:
state Il would require much labor
and some expense TO secure such q
list and as funds for the same woult
Dc required at once a small approprla
ton would enable the committee {,
proceed TO work promptly for thi'
year.
Kindly feeling toward our ahsen
ones, patriotic pride in our State
and incidentally. business advantages
that might benefit our home people
al impci us toward the carrying ou
/ Of this suggestion, and I doubt not tha
neither arguing nor urging viii be re
/ quired to carry it into effect
/ 1 am writing a similar letter 70 tn
/ Presiding officer OF the House. I re
main with highest regards,
Niost truly yours.

GLIDDEN RACERS OFF
FOR MANKbTO TODAY
Trip VIII Be Shortest of the
Tour, But Over Most
Rugged Roads.

Minneapolis, MINI. July 19.-The two
days of continuous entertainment given
the Glidden tourists by Minneapolis
evening, and the travellers retired early
to prepare for the second weeks work
beginning today. The run will be TO
Mankato, 1872 miles. the shortest run of
the entire tour, and a schedule of seven
hours will make the run an easy one.
particularly as the roads are said to be
in splendid condition
Yesterdays entertainment consisted
of an automobile ride to Lake Minne-
tonka, followed by a two hours boat
ride around the lakes, dinner at the
Tonka club, with another automobile
ride to the Minneapolis Country club.
where luncheon was served The day
was perfect one and every feature Of
the entertainment was conducted in a
manner which will cause the tourists
to remember the true hospitality of
Minneapolis.
Owing to repairs on bridges slight
change of route is necessary in today's
run. but the distance will not be ma
terially changed. The start was made
at o'clock. an hour later than is Gus
tomary, due to the short distance to be
travelled.
During the week the tourists Will
cover the distance from Minneapolis to
Denver with a variety of roads rang
Ing from mud to quicks and, and from
level plains to mountains. The week
is expected to eliminate several of the
perfect scores
