punishment of the whipping post

deliver an address before the In

Chief Black says that incorrect
and exaggerated reports of whip

the country. have caused many to
think criminals in Delaware are
treated in a most inhumane man
ner when whipped at the post, He
will demonstrate before the con-

not a cruel punishment and that it
has a wholesome effect as deter

Plans For Pure Food Show

\ Pure Food Show will be held
at Brandywine Springs Park for
ten days beginning on August Is.
Every indication points to the
coming exposition as one of the
largest and best ever held in this
section. On the first day that the
list was open fifteen exhibitors en-
tered their names.
While there will be numerous
national concerns that will have
exhibits at the park, it is intended
to make the affair local in sense
and to show what is sold in Will
mington in all lines. It is expected
that the number of those taking
spaces will be large. In addition
to the local attendance. it is ex-
pected that a number Of large ex-
cursions will be run from Philadel-
phia during the ten days that the
show is on.

c. +. work from this part of the
country.
Mornings are to be devoted to
the working sessions. the school of
methods: Missions. Junior Work.

these conferences.

"How Can | Get Money To Go
To College"-A Girls Question

How can | get the money to
enable me to 90 to college, This
question is being asked now by a
great many girls who are anxious
to 90 to college. but whose families
cannot afford to pay the expenses
of a college course for them. In
asmuch as a great many girls have
paid their own way through col
lege. it has been proven fully pos
sible. and every girl whose going
to college depends on her getting
some extra money. should know
how other girls have done it
The following are some Of the
ways in which students at Goucher
/ College have paid their expenses:
They are given merely as examples
Of what an earnest. industrious
student can do in any college. 1t
should perhaps be remarked in the
/ beginning that only an eXcep-
tional student could make money
enough to pay her board in addi-
ton to her other expenses. but any
girl, if she lives at home or with
/ friends in or near the city. can
make enough to cover her tuition
and all necessary incidental ex.
penses.
/ Many girls have taken advan-
tage of the opportunity offered for
work as playground directors dur
ing the summer. All Of the play
grounds in Baltimore are open
during July and August. and sew
eral of them from the first of May
to the last of October. The salary
is thirty dollars a month for di-
rectors. and twenty dollars a
month for assistants.
Another very remuneratlve
work is that of coaching private
/ pupils. during the summer. for
which the charges are from fifty
cents to one dollar an hour. One
student accepted the position of
private tutor or gOyerneSs for
some small children and thereby
greatly increased her fund of eX-
perience as well as of money.
These are some of the ways in
which the summer can be utilized
/ for making money. but in the Win
/ ter. too. the student can add to her
I income. One way is by acting as
emergency substitute in the public
schools before and after Christ
mas, as the college holidays are
longer than the public school holi-
days and the absence of many
/ teachers at that time gives the col
| lege girl a good chance to substi-
tute and thus earn a dollar for
each day.
| Then there are the night schools
! which are Open three nights a
week. from October to March. and
in which the salary is two dollars
night. or an average of twenty
four dollars month. 1t is also
possible for any girl who stands
well in her studies to be recon-
mended by her teachers as a
"coach' for college and high
school pupils who are deficient in
their work. Besides this. in nearly
all colleges there are positions
which students are appointed to
/ fill. such as assistants in the vari-
Gus departments or college post
mistress, and preference is invari-
ably given to the girl who is MAX
/ ing her own way.
The things mentioned so far are
such as the ordinary everyday
girl can do successfully. yet there
are other ways for girls to use
their special gifts. Some can be-
come college correspondents for
newspapers. And one girl who
writes unusually well has even
paid all her expenses by writing
articles for the magazines. But
the smaller gifts are bv no means

Wild Scene at
Credentials Meeting

CHICAGO, June 22.-Though defeat
ed in every contest which they had
carried to the credentials committee,
the Roosevelt forces renewed their
battle when the committee went to
work today on the Texas cases.
There remained to be decided today
contests involving 80 delegates in
Texas, two delegates in Virginia and
possibly two in Missouri. Of the so
Texas delegates the national commit
tee had given four to Roosevelt and 26
to Taft.
Chairman Devine addressed the COM
mittee and denounced as gutter work"

members denouncing the Taftites ac-

He declared the statement which was
given to the morning newspap ers was
'as dastardly piece of Justification as
was ever concocted." Chairman Devine
announced that the majority would is

Devine declared that any one who
asserted that the majority report of the

threatened personal attack on Nc

said he did not believe the committee
had been crooked, but when he made

teema1l Morrison, of that state, cried:
you are a liar. You can't say we
have fraud out there. You lie!'
Order was finally restored without
bloodshed, but there was another out
break when Halbert, of Minnesota said
Devine was an impartial chairman.
Esterbrook, of New Jersey, asked
Halbert if he intended to support Taft
if nominated.
Halbert replied that he would not

Just as he left the hotel this morn
ing. William A. Pendergast, who was
selected to nominate Roosevelt, In re-
Spouse to a question, said he did not
know whether the colonel would so be-
fore the convention.
There Is much difference of opinion
among the coloners followers as to the
character of the movement. Many of
the more earnest Roosevelt workers in
sist that the new party should be formed
merely TO meet emergency situations,
and that it is not wise to attempt to
make it other than q corrective force
1t is assured that the meeting of the
new party men will be held in Chicago
before the delegates and politicians
leave for their homes. The present
plan is to hold this meeting at orches-
ira hall, or in the Roosevelt headquar-
ters some time tonight.
The persons present at the confer
ence represent everything progressive
from the Roosevelt steering committee
for the six New England states to the
ultra-r radical representatives OF the
RdClUC coast uSlcS dtlOAAS'
They are spurred by the statement
made by Colonel Roosevelt to a large

keynote for the new party men. They
insisted without dissent, that the CHIEF
essential of getting together was to
have the colonel make a race for presi-

Among the regular Republican poll
ticians unusual concern was attached
to the part the Eastern representatives
are to play in the new movement. From
the Massachusetts delegations four of
the delegates at large and one district
delegate will stick with the new party.
They are led by Albert Bushnell Hart,
of Harvard, the leader of the New Eng
land faction. Besides himself, George
w. Coleman, James P. Maginess and AL
vim G. Weeks from the list of delegates
at large for Massachusetts are going to
the Roosevelt camp. DR. Frederick P.

delegate, is the fifth member of the
representative list who takes q. place
behind the colonel. The proportion of
five out of IS Massachusetts delegates
