HAzING AT DELAWARE COLLEGE.

X EPORTS from Newark say that the attend
~ ance at Delaware College has fallen off with
the opening of the new year During the last
few years the college has made considerable pro-
gress and the apparent set back will cause sur
prise. There is believed to be no deterioration in
the efficiency of the institution The faculty is bet
ter than ever before. The facilities for mpart
ing a liberal education TO young men are surely
as good as they have been, if not better
Some of those deeply interested in the college
attribute the decrease in the attendance of students
TO the stories of hazing at the college. and il is
said that the faculty, believing the situation be
serious will take steps TO stamp out hazing.
According to reports, some parents, especially
those in the lower counties, hesitate about send
ing their sons to Delaware because of stories of
hazing.
The authorities of any college can stop hazing
If they resolutely determine to do so. They can
at least reduce hazing to a minimum and this it
seems is what will have to be done at Old Della
ware In most colleges hazing has been either en-
tirely abolished or is practiced in a mild manner,

which inflict no harm unless it is loss of Fresh

every young man whether physically able or not
feels honor bound to take part in scrimmages
which are often far rougher than a football game
in which only the physically fit are permitted to

WOMAN AGAINST
WOMAN In COURT
judges Hold One Married
Woman Can Sue Another
for Alienation

Judge Woolley in the Superior
Court yesterday afternoon handed
down a decision for the court in the
case of Eliason VS.. Draper. This case
was argued on a demurrer at the May
term and was brought by Mrs. Hattie
Eliason, wife Of Harry Eliason.

alienation of her husbands affections
and for which she asked $4,000. Philip
O. Churchman and p. l.. Garrett are
the counsel for the plaintiff ard Rod
ney and Rodney represent the de-
fendant.
The DEFENDANTS attorneys fled the
demurrer, claiming that a married
woman could not bring suit without
her husband, as party and that one
married woman could not sue another
married woman.
The court ruled that one married
woman could bring suit against an
other married woman without the con-
sent Of her husband
Attorney Churchman asked for
special ruling for October 5, when
pleas will be filed. This will make
the case an issue at the November
term of court. Both parties in the
case are residents in Middletown.
Acquitted of Larceny Charge.
In the Court of General Sessions
yesterday afternoon a jury acquitted
Fred Schraeder of the charge of lar

The Slim Woman Il WINNING.

The day of the slim woman's tri-
umph has arrived. "The thinner one
is the more Stylish" say the dress
makers
This would have been sad news for
the fat woman year ago. She would
have had TO try dieting or exercise
Nowadays. however, the woman who
is too fat for the styles goes to Il
druggist and gets a case of Marmola
Prescription Tablets, one of which she
takes after each meal and at bedtime
and so reduces her .superfiuous flesh
quickly
These tablets, being made in ac-
cordance with the famous prescrip-
tion, are perfectly harmless, and they
are. also, the most economical prepa-
ration person can buy, for they cost
only rs cents a large case. one Of
which is frequently enough to start
a person to losing fat at the rate Of
- or Il ounces a day. Pretty nearly
every druggist keeps this tablet I'm
stock. but should yours be sold ou;,
you can easily obtain a case by send

DEMOCRATIC CHANCES.

THE Democrats to win the election in
n Delaware as some of them are saying they
will have to become mighty busy the last day Of
registration. The developments in this city have
nof been encouraging to the Democrats and their
registration in many districts is decidedly small
The leaders do not appear to have been able to
straighten out the tangles which have come since
the Democrats had control of the city with the
consequent dissatisfaction over the distribution of
patronage. In the Eleventh ward there is much
Democratic dissension. In the Fourth district Dr.
Cooper the Democratic candidate for the Legisla-
ture, has very hard contest before him. and if the
Republicans make the fight in that district which
they should make, the result of the election there
would be in doubt.
The Democratic administration of this city has
not helped the chances OF that party for success,
and even some Democrats admit that the park
land deal is the last straw to break the camels
back Instead Of strengthening the party for the
State election the municipal victory which gave
the Democrats control of City Council has proved
TO be boomerang.

FIVE LOST LITTLE
ONES In Her CARE
Mrs. Joseph E. Davis Even
Gave Children a Bath to
Entertain Them

Mrs. Joseph L. Davis of No. S19 West
Seventh street was worried for several
hours yesterday afternoon, when she
had in her care FIVE small children
who were lost They ranged from
three 20 five years and could speak no
English. She found the Polanders sit
ting on the curb and took them TO her
home and gave them food and fruit.
Mrs. Davis played the piano and 9TH
erwise amused the children. With the
assistance of a neighbor the children
were given a bath. The police were
notified and later the father of two
of the children called up the police
station He was sent TO Mrs. Davis
home and got the lost ones. Their
home is on Stroud street. This was
a case where three children of one
family joined the other two and wan
dered away. Whether they were
searching for the new $4,000 play
ground is not known.

FAVOR PARCELS POST.

HE plank in the platform OF the Republican
II State Convention of Delaware advocating
strongly the enactment of parcels post law puts
the party in the front rank OF those supporting
this measure For some months at intervals this
question has been discussed in Delaware and we
have not Seen any adverse comment Many of the
newspapers in the towns have spoken in commen-
daton.
AS showing that the movement is growing, it
may be mentioned that at the annual convention
of postmasters of the second and third class a
resolution passed in favor OF the parcels post.
Congress is urged in the resolutions take de-
cisiye action for parcels post.
While some minor objections have been heard
it is firmly believed that the chief opposition to
the parcels post comes from the four big express.
companies which waxing fat on the profits of.
their monopolistic business.
If the opposition of the express companies
to be withdrawn, there is little doubt that par
cells post law would be enacted in ffy The max
imum weight now permitted under the law TO be
carried by the postals service is four pounds for
which the charge is one cent an ounce. Shippers
OF small packages above the weight mentioned
have no alternative but TO use the express COM
panies.
Yet we have agreements with foreign countries
by which packages weighing eleven pounds
be transmitted by parcels post at small cost.
Signs in Federal buildings call attention to these
facilities, which do not obtain here.
1t is believed that the rural free delivery
which would be used extensively in the parcels
post service would help to decrease the deficit
caused in the postal service. AT any rate there
is good reason for believing that the parcels
post system would be operated at loss.

Editorial Opinion

One Campfire for Blue and Gray.
New York World.
The suggestion of the Commander
ln-Chief of the Grand Army Of the
Republic that henceforth there should
be one annual national encampment
Tor all veterans of the civil war. I'm
Ion or Confederate, is so well in keep
ing with the spirit Of the times that
there should be no question Of it's
adoption.
Next year will occur the semi-cen-
tennial Of the outbreak of the war.
The men who fought it's great battles
IN blue or gray are now bent with
years. How better can they celebrate
the anniversary and to what better use
can they put their remaining brief
span of life than by fraternizing with
their old foes around the same camp
fires?
The old issues that drenched the
land IN blood are part Of a great past
IN which all have their share. The
country long ago decided to let By
cones be bygones. It is now the on
portunity Of the veterans to mt a
final seal OF completeness on the new
Union which knows no sectional lines

TAFTS coon WORK

II EGARDLESS of political fireworks and
- furore which characterize the methods of
some other public leaders, President Taft keeps
along the even path plugging away at reforms he
has - mind and doing his best IN sensible man
ner TO serve tine interests of the country.
Mr. Taft is looking ct public questions in
practical manner. He took hold Of the perplexing
tariff problem in sans way by advocating the
larih Commission idea tc recommend changes in
the taih schedules when necessary. One effect Of
the adopting OF this plan will be to lessen the
chances OF business disturbances.
In his Cincinnati speech yesterday the Presi-
dent called attention to another important matter
one which is likely 10 become a hobby with him
that Of doing away with the pork barrel method
OF distributing public funds for the improving
Of water ways
The President spoke OF the pressure of mem
oers OF Congress for money for their own dis
tricts. Very little regard is paid 20 the compara-
tive merits Of the different improvements AS a
consequence piece-meal improvement is made
which is similar TO patch work improving of pub.
lie roads
The plan of the President is TO have compet
ent board of expert engineers who shall pass upon
the relative merits oil improvements proposed
The President spoke of the selfish combinations
formed in Congress to secure legislation for the
benefit OF few, ignoring the good of the whole
His criticism is especially applicable TO the pork
barrel
Under the Engineer Board plan as suggested by
the President, there is little doubt that the import
ance of the Atlantic Waterway work would be re-
cognized and that great improvement in which
Delaware and neighboring states as we'll as those
all along the Atlantic coast are so greatly inter
ested, would be advanced.

Massachusetts had hinted in delicate manner

without foundation. At any rate Mr.. Banger
did not take the hint. From all parts of the
