THE RED MANTLE.

There was German merchant in
the days of old who used to travel
with costly jewels from city to city.
His name was Berthold. He was an
earnest, warm hearted man, but he
had fiery temper and sharp tongue.
One day, towards night, he was
journeying through forest, in one
of the beautiful regions of Germany.
The wind was signing in the pines:
there were scudding clouds; great
shade came down on the forest, and
rain seemed about to fall. Berthold
saw that he could not reach the city
that evening.
He was alone with his suitcase full
of jewels. What was he to do? He
stumbled on. At last he saw a
CLEAN of light. 1t came from a win
dow that seemed not far distant. He
FASTENED towards it and wrapped on
the door.
The door slowly opened. A gray
haired old lady, with beautiful face,
stood before him. "Who lives here?''
asked Berthold.
"A poor collier and his family.

Experiments
With Tomato

Duding the past three years the
Horticultural Department has been
investigating the influences of va
rious plant foods in growing the
tomato crop.
In order to widen the scope Of
this work and to render it more ac-
curate, the department has had
some tanks constructed of galvan-
lied iron. These tanks are two in
number, and each is divided into
twelve compartments. 1t is pur-
posed to fill these compartments
with a unifrom soil and grow one
tomato plant in each. These plants
will be fed with different combina-
tions Of plant food, and the effect
upon the tomato plants as to yield,
health, vigor, size Of fruit, the eff
feet upon the root system, will be
carefully noted. Among the COM
mon elements of plant foods used
will be nitrogen, potash, phosphoric
acid, lime and magnesia.
1t IS hOped that by growing To-
matoes in this way, the Station will
be able to solve some Of the perplex-
ing questions regarding fertilizers
for tomatoes. Some of these ques-
tions are: Does the tomato need
life? Do Delaware farmers use
too much phosphoric acid in their
tomato fertilizers? Does /. magne-
SUM lime have a detrimental effect
upon the tomato crop? Does pot
ash make a better canning tomato.
In short, the experiment is an eff
fort to determine the proper prac-
tice in fertilizing the tomato crop.
1t is thought that it will be nee
essary for the experiment to run
at least three years before definite
results can be obtained.

CHURCH NOTES

The regular Children s Day SER
vices at White Clay Creek church
will be held on next Sunday, June
18th, beginning at 1870 a. m.
The children of the Sunday
School have been preparing their
different parts which will, we think,
be interesting to all. The choir
will play a prominent part in the
exercises, and with the assistance
Of violins, will render several Sc
lections. A cordial invitation to
all. The offering will be for Sun
day School work.
Children s Day exercises held
last Sunday morning in the Newark
Presbyterian Church were largely
attended. No feature was lacking
to make the service beautiful one.
The high, deep windows were
banked with fragrant ferns while
a profusion of bright-eyed daisies
hid everything comnonplace. In
front of the platform from which
the children recited and sang was
placed a real cradle, transformed
by the daisies into a bed Of flowers,
the woodwork being so completely
hidden that few suspicioned its
presence.
The choruses by the school, to
the accompaniment OF organ and
four violins, were especially bright
and pretty, and the cunning ways
of the little ones as they reclted
their optimistic verses Of sunshine
and cheer proved as attractive as
in previous years. The singing OF
a special arrangement Of "Nearer
My God to Thee" by Master john
son Rowan in a sweet, true soprano
was particularly appreciated.
Eight children received the rites
Of baptism.

Baccalaureate
Exercises

The custom inaugurated by the
Class Of 1913, Newark High School
Of baccalaureate Sunday has prov
ed itself a popular one. The Pres
brtorian church, where the services
were held last Sunday evening,
was crowded to the doors with
friends of the twenty graduates
who comprise the largest class ever
graduated from the institution.
The graduates, followed by the
teachers of the school and members
of the Board Of Education, attend
ed the service in a body. Special
music was rendered by members of
the choir. Rev. L. e. Poole, pastor
of the NJ. E. Church, assisted in
the services.
Rev. w. j. Rowan preached
strong sermon from the text Psalm
119-1O5: "Thy word is a lamp unto
my feet and a light unto my path" !"
The speaker urged upon his hear
crs the adoption of the grand old
Book as their guide, declaring that
along whatever line their interests.
might run, they would find sup
ply to satisfy their wants within
the limits of Gods Word. Should
their inclination lead to History,
the rise and fall of the great nations
of antiquity is spread before them,
should it be for science, behold the
principles with which the most ad-
yanced learning in no wise con-
ficts; be it poetry,-again they
may fnd it in any form, while the
romances have been unequalled by
The writer's Of any land. 1t presents

with the arguments were quotations
from leaders of the world S thought

Accident Report Unfouneied

The reports circulated last Fri,
day night that Harry Cleaves, in
riding from Newark to Elkton, had
run over child, inhicting serious
injuries are grossly false.
On investigation it was found to
be without any semblance Of found
alton. Mr.. Cleaves has had no ac-
cident whatever and is at a loss to
know how the report started. In
vestigation made of relatives here
this morning showed the report was
entirely false. The child was at
home, the day in question, and had
no experience as related.
Suspiciously incidental to this
report, the party who started the
story is now at large with warrants
out for his arrest on charges Of
theft.

TROT AND TANGO

Faculty And Students Co.

The Delaware College Faculty
on Tuesday afternoon issued a
strong statement relative to their
position on the question Of the
fancy dances so much in vogue
throughout the country. The ac-
ton was adopted purely as a pre-
cautionary measure, since the po-
sition taken by the Faculty is in
accord with the sentiment that pre-
walls at Delaware, the students
themselves having taken similar
action previous to the mid-yeal.
dance. The Faculty statement fol
lows:
"In accord with the best senti-
ment of the community and the ac-
ton of other institutions of learn
ing, the Faculty Of Delaware Col
lege will see to it that the coming
Commencement dance is not an OPP
portunity for exploiting the vulgar
dancing, which, of late, has gained
considerable popularity.
Feeling their duty to the COM
munity and recognizing their obli-
cations as educators Of the young
people of the State, they wish to
give the widest publicity to the
fact that efforts to engage i'll OBJ
jectionable dances on that or other
occasions in the College buildings
will result in ending the dances,
The music will be stopped, the
lights extinguished and the build
ings closed.
1t is hoped that word to the
wise will be sufficient. If it is not,
College dances at Delaware are
likely to be discontinued.

SITE FOR COL
LEGE SELECTED
Ground To Be Broken Next
Monday

AT a meeting of the Affiliated
College Commission held in Viii
mington on Monday, the Wollaston
property was selected as the site
for the Woman's College. The
property consisting Of Is acres, is
the field on Depot Road, directly
opposite the Red Mems Home. 1t
is bounded on three sides by pub
lie roads and it is understood the
Commission will open a street on
the northern side, thereby provid-
ing a pleasing seclusion.
The decision of the Commission
which is understood to have been
unanimous, was reached after care
full deliberation. Unknown to the
general public, landscape archi-
tect advice was secured and upon
his recommendation was the site
selected as the best available, tax
ing into consideration the amount
Of money available and the utility
standpoint Of convenience to the
College proper and the Farm.
The amount agreed upon was
$1,000, which is reckoned as a good
bargain. Contrary to impressions
in some quarters, no amount was
specified in the bill as passed by
the General Assembly. The bill
provides simply for an annual ap-
preparation of 100000 for 5 years.
This is to be expended on interest,
site, buildings, furnishings and
equipment, ready to be opened for
work September, 1914.
Mrs. A. d. Warner and Prof.
Twitmyer, members Of the Affiliat-
ed College Commission, were ap-
pointed to arrange for exercises for
bl eaking ground on Farmers Day,
June 10th. Although the time is
short, it is expected that an inter
esting program will be given, thus
bringing the College in tangible
form before the people.
PRIZES FOR PLANS
In order to arouse an interest
and secure the best possible plans
for the buildings, the Commission
decided to offer five prizes for the
five best sets Of plans. Three Hun
died Dollars will be the first prize,
$3.50 the second, 5000 the third,
$3.50 for the fourth and fifth prizes.
All plans to be submitted by July

While the new fire fighter will
naturally give additional protec-
ton to Newark, the benefits will be
even greater to the many farmers,
mill owners, ETC., in the vicinity of
the town. 1t will mean that with
the numerous good roads leading
to Newark, the automobile engine
can reach any point within five
miles of the town in not more than
10 minutes after being notified OF
