AGAIN there has been an effort
to get the people OF. the Delaware
and Maryland peninsula interested
in the city Of Wilmington. and to
draw their business and social in
terests closer. The move this time
ii ne came the rromChamber ofCom-
merce Of Wilmington, and it took
the form OF a social gathering at a
splendid banquet, which was
served at the new Hotel DUPONT
on Monday of last week, when over
fifty men representing the various
weekly papers Of the Delmarvia
peninsula responded and participat-
ed. From this splendid social
gathering Of men who influence
the thought civic affairs Of the
people between the Delaware and
Chesapeake bays, there must be
good results to follow in the future.
The needs as the visitors see them
for a closer business and social in
tercourse with the City Of Whining
ton, were freely discussed, and the
unquestioned opinion was express
ed that something more than words
is necessary to accomplish the
object desired. With a river front
for the traffic from the eastern part
OF Delaware to get into touch with
Wilmington, and with a consistent
business effort to present to the
people Of the peninsula in general,
the advantages Of Wilmington
from business and social stand
point, there will grow up better
conditions for the future. From
a personal experience Of many
years, we believe that the reviving
OF the Delmarvia Press Association
will DO much towards a better
and a better business
interchange between all Of the
people.

THE ten hour law for women
went into effect last Tuesday in
Delaware, and for the information
of all who employ women, we are
printing the law as it was passed
by the Legislature in another part
of this paper. There are penalties
which will be adequate to enforce
the mandates Of the law, and there
IS also a woman inspector at fair
salary to see that the law IS strictly
enforced. This law applies equally
upon women clerking in stores,
working in shops or other occupa-
tions other than domestic duty and
in the canning industries Of Della
ware. It will be we'll to look this
law up and read it carefully.

campaign against the house fly as the
carrier Of disease. If the insect is guilty
OF this charge, Milford is in danger Of
numerous epidemics, because wherever
you go, in the shops or in the homes,
you will fnd flies by the millions, hang
ing on the outside Of the screens and
getting into the houses notwithstand-
ing ALI precautions that the people can
take.
Now, we are told where fes are, there
we NAV find dirt and filth We should
not understand by this that any refec-
ton on our people is intended, but II is
due to certain conditions.
The crying need in this town is for
garbage collection. The women who
manage the homes have absolutely no
solution to this problem. AS a conse-
quence, garbage is thrown ont in all
sorts Of places to decompose. You find
it in vacant lots, in ash piles, and other
exposed places. repeat the women are
not to blame, because they have no other
remedy. The time has come for proper
garbage collection under the authority of
the town, and the Board Of Health could
do nothing better than to demand that
steps be taken to remedy this condition
1t would be a hardship for the Board
Of Health to attempt to meet this condi-
ton by putting it up to the householder,
for they are simply doing the best they
can. The garbage of the town could be
collected regularly at a small cost, and it
is likely that there are persons who would
be able to use this refuse and thus pay
for part of the cost of its collection.
Why not agitate this question now?
Yours truly, FLY HATER.

WITH the entire corps Of pro-
fessors at Delaware College engag-
ed as instructors for the summer
school methods, AMI the college
buildings used for the sessions and
study periods, the teachers Of Della
ware have at last come into their
own, and are taking advantage of
theopportunity to gather theoretical
methods Of teaching and get well
grounded in the BRANCHES and
methods in which they may feel
the need Of additional instruction.
In addition they have the opporu-
nifty to hear lectures upon advanc-
ed ideas not only in pedagogy, but
in the newer branches of instruc-
ton, such as practical agriculture,
drawing, etc. By having the State

jealousy which antagonized the

intendents, is removed, and only

SEARCH IN VAIN FOR
MISSING CLARKE COUPLE
Wife Said She Would End Her
Existence.

No trace has yet been found of
either Mr.. or Mrs. John Clarke, who
lived at Ogden avenue Harrison.
Clarke has been missing since March
g. Mrs. Clarke disappeared last
Tuesday night after having declared
her intention of doing away with her
self. Hospitals and morgues have
been searched in vain for the woman.
When she left she told her two
young nieces and her nephew that
she was going TO kill herself. The
children Immediately notified their
uncle. John Killoch, who is a mem
Der of the firm of David Killoch &
Co., of 81 Murray street, New York.
Failing to locate his sister, Mr. Kill
loch notified the police and a general
alarm was sent out for the missing
woman.
The authorities believe that Mrs.
Clarke's mind is affected. due to the
great nervous strain that she had
been under since her husband dis
appeared with $1,000 in his posses
sion. She was last seen, it was said,
getting on an eastbound Turnpike
trolley car shortly after 9 o'clock on
the night of her disappearance.

Paradoxical though it seems. the

after they have succeeded in severing
the continents of North and South
America by the Panama Canal will
be to re-establish the connection. 1t
is necessary that communication by
rail be maintained unimpaired be-

Of the canal to afford unbroken con-
nection between New York and

The decision has inclined to a sys-

XII EAST ORANGE
HAPPY OVER FETE
Congratulations Showered on
Managers of the Semi-cen-
tenniaI Celebration.

Members of the committee in charge
of the semi centennial celebration in
East Orange were today congratu-
lated on all sides for the efficient
manner in which the affair had been
conducted, and much of its success
was attributed to the efforts of this
committee. The celebration was
brought to a close by a large and
striking parade on Saturday, which
was witnessed by about 10000 per-
sons, in spite of the hot weather.
A feature of the parade which was
particularly gratifying to those in
charge of the celebration was the
settlement of the differences between
the business men of the Fourth and
Fifth wards and the grand marshal,
Colonel George P. Olcott, over the
course of the parade. The colonel
and John Reeve, who were at odds
over the line of march, were seen to
greet each other pleasantly as they
met at the end of the pageant.
1t appeared that Colonel Olcott was
right about the shorter course for
the marchers, as several of them
had to fall out of line because of the
heat before the affair was half over.
The heat victims were cared for by
the Record ambulance corps.
Although they had been refused
the privilege of marching in the pa
rade the suffragists were not idle.
They took advantage of the large
throng which had assembled and sew
eral speeches were made by DR..
Maude Thompson and other suffra-
gists before the parade started. They
trailed in the rear of the marchers
with automobiles decorated with the
suffrage colors.
In the evening there was ban
quet by the Knights of Columbus, of
East Orange, at which they enter
tanned their guests from other cities.
The E1ks also made their flag day
exercises part of the celebration.
