FOR A STRIKE
P. B. 6 W. Official Says
Enough Men Are Available
to Run All Trains
COTS TAKEN OUT TO
EDGE MOOR SHOPS

There seemed to be nothing at
French street station of the p, B. and
W. Railroad this morning that would
indicate that the railroad system is
confronting labor crisis and pos

company have been carried on through
the Wilmington offices, however, they
being conducted at Broad street sta

Yesterday about one thousand cots

He further stated that the railroad
company would have enough men TO

nothing of other reserve forces
One of the officials at French street
station said he would not be the least
surprised If there was no strike.
While IL is understood that many
men employed in the Wilmington
shops had expressed a willingness to
man trains. il is intimated by some of
the railroaders that most OF these shop

THE DIFFERENCE
In ADVERTISEMENTS

Brevity is not always the soul of an advertisement
especially if being brief causes bluntness
You must not disregard the other fellows viewpoint
if you would get results from your advertising expend
ture.
Advertising success depends more upon the wording
of the advertisement than upon anything else.
AS illustration of this point quote little story

COUNTING BY TENS.
And Suggestion as to Why We Buy
Things by the DozeA,

And . Suggestion as TO Why We Buy
Things by the DozeA,
Did II ever occur TO you as strange
shat while we count by tens we buy
30 many articles by the dozeng II we
ask the price of apples. oranges. oys-
ters, eggs, collars. handkerchiefs and
many other things we will be told so
many cents or dollars a dozen, or if
large quantities are wanted so much
a gross, which means a dozen dozen.
How do you suppose this has come
about? Il was this way; Nearly, Az
savage people count by their fingers
that Is. If they want to tell you they
have seen two wild beasts they viii
hold up two fingers. and II ten they
will hold up both hands, and If twenty
both hands twice, and so on. Babies
also learn 70 count by their fingers
and toes, aud to many people IL seems
as II that were the only possible way.
lt is. however. rather a clumsy way,
as you find out when you try 70 divide
ten Say. FOR example. you have ten
apples You can only make an equal
division among two or five persons,
while II you have twelve you can give
an equal number 20 two, three. four
or six. we find the same inconven
ience in dividing a dollar and often
have TO pay 13 cents for what should
properly cost 1919 cents.
II we had been born with two. four
six or eight fingers or toes. like some
animals. II is possible that we should
have counted differently. but it does
not now seem likely there win ever be
any change in. the ten or decimal sys
tenn, as it is called especially since
the Arabic numerals now used nearly
everywhere are based on this system

RISING sun, Nd, July 16.-Tight
lacing, high collars and hats among

among men during church services
has been tabooed by the Rev. w. II.
Briggs, pastor of the Zion, Calvert,
Ebenezer and Union Methodist Epis-
copal Churches, who will appear in
the pulpit of the Calvert Church next
Sunday in his short sleeves.
The innovation will be defended by
the parson with his sleeves rolled up,
If necessary, for he believes that no
one can truly Worship God and feel
uncomfortable, particularly in hot
weather II is expected that the mem
bers Of the other churches of his

the members of Calvert Church are
heartily I'm favor of It and look for
