clubs in having children examined
at the schoos SO that the books
and other things used by those OF
tubercular tendency could be
destroyed. She wants each club
to take up its own individual social
service work in its immediate To-

the State work will be more inter-
esting for them. Mrs. George w.
Marshall, of Milford, reported on
conversation. Mrs. Jesse Shep-

science, and Mrs. Caleb Burchenal
on Legislative and library work,
but these committees, like most of

AUTUMN COLORS

This is one OF the mysterious
and bewitching days. Surely it is
not that the summer is ended, the
green year passing, the winter
coming that gives such peculiar in
fluence to the days. Something
has been poured out into the air
from the land OF magic. 1t has
been stepped with atmospheric
wine, and we drink by breathing a
subtle and invigorating elixir.
The blue is tender and pale. The
skies are full of clouds; this one
opening, shutting, melting, re-
forming, and SO through all the
changes; this one making haste,
as if called to some distant battle,
and fercely driving on in heat to
the distant redezvous; or if milder
thought prevail, then they seem
like mighty focks O: fieecy birds,
gathered from the summer hatch
ing haunts of the north, and borne
southwark by the annual impulse
of migration.
But such is the depth, the beauty
and the mystic influence OF the
heavens, that to look up long into
its cope effects you with giddiness,
such as men feel who look down
from great heights. And then,
too, the color OF all things is chang
ing-not changed, but only hint
ing color.
We must except the maple trees.
Some of them are changed to a
straw color. Yonder is one very
green except one branch, which
stretches up from the bottom
nearly to the top, and that is OF
vivid scarlet. 1t looks like a tree
with great bouquet OF flowers in
it's bosom.
| But along the fences are Grim
son leaves, the autumn yellows
predominant. The corn is cut up
and stands out on the hills around
here in shocks to dry. The emer-
aid grass was never more tender
in its green.
The orchard is waiting to be re-
lieved it's burden. All summer
long it has eased itself by throw.
ing down part of its fruits, worm
picked, or storm gathered; ane
now those apples that remain, ful
grown, plump, ripe, look wistfull,
at you, as if asking your care fo1
the winter.
And the birds-how they do be-
have! What is the matter witt
them? No one of them frolics
They have lost all their gamesomt
ways. They collect in mown held'
for seeds, they hover about or
chards, exchanging remarks amonl
themselves in low tones, like well

GUNNfRS--THINk
CONTRADICT THIS-IF YOU
CAN.


This Infamous rage for killing!
The suffering that the men with
guns impose: the happy creatures
mangled in their play and flight;
the crippled that drag themselves
to the woods and hills to die, with
unheard groaning; the little ones
in fur and feathers that pereish OF
cold and hunger, wondering why
the father and mothe that were
good to them come back no more.
Oh, brothers of the tongue that
speaks, the hand that works such
other good, the brain that thinks
so high and kindly for those Of
your own species, will you not hear
and heed the plant in these wild
voices that reach you even at your
windows? Will you mot have
mercy on those harmless ones
that, after centuries of persecution,
know and think of you only with
aversion ard terror? Hang up
the gun, burn the whip, put down
the sling, the bow, the trap, the
stone, and bid them live! Let
their joyous voices greet the sun
again, as in the days before they
learned the fear of man. Take
their dropping carcasses out oi
your hat, MY LADY, and set an
example such as gentle, we'll
bred woman should give to her
ignorant sisters. Be ministers and
friends, not prosecutors and ene-
mics. Spare, for their sake, yet
move for your own, our little bro
theirs OF the fields. ."--Charles M
Skinner.

DELAWARE STATE FEDERATION TO
WORK FOR HIGHER EDUCATION

The executive board of the Del
aware State Federation OF " )
mems Clubs held a very interest
ing meeting followed by a lunch
con at the New Century Cluo,
Wilmington, on Friday morning.
Plans Of committees for the year
were announced and the date for
the next State convention to be
held in Middletown, set for May
10th and 18TH. Club members are
to be urged to attend the Bien-
nial, which meets in San Fran
cisco the week of June 25th.
Most of the morning was de-
voted to the educational and Soc
ial service work, both of which will
be closely allied this year, and in
some particulars the work of the
library committee and the State
Library Commission will coop
crate with these Mis-. A. D..
Warner, chairman of education,
presented report announcing the
work of her committee to be an
affiliated college for Delaware
girls at Newark. The federation
board is in thorough sympathy
with higher education for girls OF
this State and it was stated by
Mrs. Harry Hayward OF Newark
that the affiliated college could be
started with comparatively little
expense as the same professors
and equipment now in use at Del
aware College would be available
for girls. The women feel that as
agriculture is being taught sue
cessfully to the boys that domestic
science should be introduced for
girls. The interest OF grangers all
over the state will be sought by
having talks on the subject and
their meetings and public opinion
will be awakened to this PROPOSE
ton before the next meeting o1
the Legislature.

social service, asked the aid of the

BENTON AND THE STATE UNIvER


SITY.
In formally taking over to-day the
presidency of the university of Vermont,
Guy Potter Benton comes into an edu-
cational heritage made notable by line
of men who were intellectual giants and
powerful factors for moral uplift, as
well. He comes to I'll the immediate
place of man whose breadth of mind
was remarkable and whose moral fibre
was of the thoroughly tried sort. Mat
thew Henry Buekham, in his quiet, un.
obtrusive way, was great man and a
distinct honor to the institution at
whose head he stood so many years.
His service added strong link to the
powerful chain of presidents who have
been called to this, one of the country's
Oldest state universities. And now Pres
ident Benton, although having been in
active service but short time as acting
president of the university, has given
evidence of those qualities OF mind and
heart which promise to make his admin
istration a worthy link in the chain oil
twelve presidents.
The opening of his administration is
certainly most suspicious, offering him
opportunities which were denied to some
of his predecessors. The state univer-
sity was never in stronger position
than at the present time. 1t has a first
rate college plant buildings commodi-
Gus, well-equipped and pleasantly stu
ated financial intrenchment which
makes good foundation for the work
which President Benton hopes to per-
form. Moreover, ii starts the first year
of the Benton administration with the
largest enrolment in its entering class
ever known there and with enthusiasm
at high pitch. And not the least inn
portant feature of the Inauguration of
the new presidents work was the SPLEEN
did recognition given the event by the
educational life Of the country. Under
such conditions, one might certainly
look for success.

The mpreparedness Of Turkey for
war, as we'll as its dissemination FOR
fighting, is one Of the very noticeable
features of the trouble on the Mediteran-
mean sea at the present time, while, in
marked contrast, Italy fairly bristles
with lust for warfare. Up to the pres
ent time, Turkey has made very sorry
showing indeed because of that unpre-
paredness.

Mexico City a Port of Missing Men

is being anxiously sought by relatives,
He started for Mexico year ago. but
never reached here so far as known.
A good many men reported missing
are believed to be in the mountains
prospecting for gold. In some cases
Americans come here for the purpose
of severing home ties and in such in.
stances they stop writing and make II
a point to be hard to find.
The most peculiar disappearance
case on record here is that of a vonns
business man from Illinois who acct.
dentally learned the location of mine
while touring this country. Leaving
his trunk at a hotel and without saw:
ing word to any of his COMPANIONS
he slipped away to the mountains and
found the mine. He remained there
and went through siege of mountain
fever which left him apparently moi
much the worse except a peculia1
lapse Of memory about his former life
In Illinois. He prospered in minina
operations and remained In the noun
tains for couple of years, being given
up for dead in the meantime by hi,
! friends.
1t became necessary for him to 10 tc
the city where he had left his trunk
When he walked into the hotel he was
recognized by attaches, and narration
of the story cleared his mind. HI
wired at once to his family that b,
was all right.

from San Francisco to Denver. That
task was accomplished at cost Of
$275,000.
Kaiser Wilhelm and the German
government have stored away part
of the indemnity from France, which
can be used for war purposes at a
moments notice, II need be. But the
chest of Germany is small compared
with Uncle Sans hoard of gold.
Never before in the history of the
world was there anything like it.
If all the gold coin and gold bull
lion Of the government were convert
ed into $40 gold pieces and laid on
the ground side by side they would
form string Of gold pieces reaching
almost half across the United States.
The string Of gold would reach from
New York to Chicago and good dis
lance beyond.
At the same time all this gold could
be housed in one room Of dimensions
not very great. It could easily be
put into room 80 feet long, 20 feet
wide and 20 feet high. This would
leave considerable space to spare.
