New DUPONT Club ReViVeS
Interest in Shooting Game

That trapshooting has again estab-
lihed its old time prestige in Will
mington and vicinity is evidenced by
the number Of shooters attending the
Saturday afternoon shoots OF the new
DUPONT Gun Club at Newbridge. While
the club is still IN its infancy yet AT
the four shoots held since the opening
on December II, over 250 shooters
have faced the traps. This is re-
markable record and especially so
since the sport has been dead for so
long in this state. Everything now
points to a revival of that old trap
shooting interest which at the time
of the old Wawaset Club placed this
city and Delaware second TO none in
the trapshooting world. The Eastern

only to the Grand American Handicap,
which will be shot over the traps Of
the DUPONT Gun Club. has done much

DEFEND THE COLORS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK, Del, Jan. 6.-The bas-
ketball season at Delaware College
opened with the preliminary inter-
class games between the Juniors and
Seniors and Freshmen and Sopho-
mores. The running track was jammed
with enthusiastic rooters for every
team and the manifestation of spirit
has not been equalled in the walls of
the old institution for years Glass
spirit was keen and there seemed to
be a continuous yell first for one class
and then the other.
The Freshmen and SOphomores en-
gagged In the first combat. Each side
put up a good game, but the contest
was a little slow. The Sophs were
caught fouling a great number of
times i'm the first half but improved
in the second. The Freshmen won by
a score of Ia to 10, the first half end
ing IN a to score in 1914s favor.
The lineup:

The second contest between the

fastest and hardest games ever played
on the local floor In the first half the
advantage I'm the score alternated be-
tween the two teams until the whistle
blew when the Juniors were leading
IN an s TO z score. In the second half
the third year men came back and
by steady and well developed team
work completely outplayod their OPP
ponents thus retaining their record of
practically a clean athletic sheet for
their history. Houston was the Senior
star aud made all their score but two
points. The Juniors had no star but
every man worked for a unified team

1912.

Odd Word Survivals.

Far away back in the days when the
English language was in its infancy
there were poets who wrote Of the
blossoms on the trees in the spring.
They didn't write blossom" however,
but used the word blow" and made
it rhyme with snow and flow. When
they wished to sing Of the beautiful
mass of apple or hawthorn flowers
they called it the "blowth." This
word is found in the dictionaries,
which assert that it is obsolete. but it
is very much alive in Rockingham
county, n H.. and York county, Me.
The orchardist thereabout speaks Of
"full blowth" or Eight blowth" on his
trees in May and predicts good or
poor "set" of the fruit in consequence.
"Orts" are supposed to be refuse of
some kind. but in the valley where the
PiscataQua river mlngles with the sea
"orts" is the name for "swill"-Ex-

Look out. sir: the shell is live one!
Then he did what never seemed to
have come into the minds of any in the

out of the hands of the colonel and
threw 1t into the sea. For this service
he was promoted. The soldier who
had been told to bring an empty shell
had gone to the wrong magazine.

into my mind, and did It," 1t is this
wave of unconscious thought which
constitutes true presence of mind. This
will come to people of nervous and
even cowardly natures.
There Is of authentic record the case
of man known to be utterly deficient
of courage who saved himself from a
very awkward situation by an exhibit
tion of real presence of mind. He was

When the organist came up to the

A Famous Cooks Lament on the Death
Of His Royal Master.
The most successful book that was
published by William Harrison Aims
worth during his first year Of busi-
ness. says Mr.. s. M. Ellis in his biog-
raphy of the English author and pub
Usher, was a cookbook. 1t was 'The
French Cook" by Louis Eustache Ude,
"the Gil Bias of the kitchen"
This unique study Of the culinary
art brought in handsome sum to the
astute young publisher who had pur-
chased the copyright, and the book
was in the hands Of every gourmet in
London.
Ude had been chef Of Louis XVI, Of
Nine. Letizia Bonaparte and then Of
the Earl Of Seton, at salary of 300
guineas a year. At another time he
presided over the culinary department
of the Crockfords, but his favorite
master was Frederick, duke Of York.

PRESENCE OF Mind
May Make Heroes of Physical
CoWards In Time of Danger.
NOT A MATTER OF COURAGE.

It Is the Sudden Impulse That Moves
One to Do the Right Thing In an un-
expected Emereency--A Soldier and
a Shell and a Man and Murder
There Is a distinction to be drawn
between presence of mind and cour'
age Persons who naturally are timid
and nervous will in circumstances OF
great danger and excitement perform
acts of heroism that would be beyond
their powers on ordinary occasions.
We speak of these as instances of
presence of mind. But if you ask
them they would tell you that an in
voluntary impulse rather than any
premeditated course Of action guided
their will on the occasion. Had they
time for reflection when all the threat
ening danger to themselves had be-
come clear to their minds their nat
ural timidity of character would have
asserted itself and deprived them of
action.
1t is absence of fear that prompts
the soldier under heavy fire from
the enemy's guns to go to the assist
ance of a wounded comrade and bring
him to a place Of safety, and nothing
in human nature can compare with
such self sacrifice. But in times Of
sudden emergency it is not always
the bravest who act with promptitude.
The following story is an instance of
this:
One of our transports was returning
from the Philippines with invalided
men. and one morning at sea group
