NAME CHOSEN FOR
WOMENS COLLEGE
CONTRACT AWARDED-WORK TO BE PUSHED
RAPIDLY

| With all the enthusiasm over the
site and buildings, the question the
public wants most to have answered
is, "Will the buildings be ready
for occupancy September 1914?"
A representative Of The Post put
this question to several members Of
the Commission-The Public wants
to know, has a right to know wheth-
er in your judgement this insti-
tuition will be ready to be opened
as specified in the bill. They rea-
lie, of course, that something un-
forseen might interfere, that would
be excusable. But just what they
desire to know now is whether In
your judgement, it will be ready
by the time specified"
The reply will be of interest and
cancel the effect Of doubling
rumors. The Commission has had
the date of completion always In
mind. This point has been discuss
ed with the architects and contrac-
tors with whom we have been in
consultation. All have agreed that
there is no reasonable doubt but
that the time specified by the bill
will find the buildings ready to be
turned over to the Board Of Trus-
tees, for the use Of the State. We
ourselves, feel confident that we
shall be able to meet fully the re-
quirements. ="
With this statement voiced by
the Commission parents, teachers
and all those interested in the Dela-
ware College for Women can be-
gin work for an effective opening
and successful career. The Com
mission will meet again in short
time to say the final word on the
architects drawings, after which
real construction will begin.

NEWARK CANNERY
RUNNING FULL FORCE.
CROP PHEAVY-SHORTAGE OF HELP EMBARRASSEs
PLANT

The glut at the Gilbert cannery
near the Old Depot which has been
on since the first of last week will
probably be broken this week. This
is the opinion of Frank Williams,
manager Of the plant. Mr.. Will
Jams states, however, that provid-
ing there is no frost the tomato sea-
son will not end for two weeks.
There were two reasons for the
glut this season. One reason Civ
en- at the cannery is the large crop
and the other scarcity of exper-
fenced peelers. The season was
started last year with IS peelers
and this year Mr.. Gilbert had but
35. Although he has been trying
to get this class Of help for some
days there are now only AZ peelers
at work. The total number Of en-
ployees in the cannery at this time
is about SIS.
The season opened this year the
first week of September and will
close about October Is. Mr.. Will
Jams, in discussing the tomato sea-
son today, stated that the crop is
nearly three times as large in this
locality as it was in 1912 and that
there is also a better quality Of to-
matoes.

Mr.. Gilbert last year contracted
Tor 200 acres and he put up II, 900
cases of "a cans to a case. This
year he contracted for 23O acres
which will turn out 10000 cases
the same size as last season. The
contract price is SO ton, the same
as in 1912. The average yield of
the 230 acres will be about 5 tons
to the acre although some few
growers will have yield of IL to
Is tons to the acre.
While there has been a glut for
some days it is claimed at the can
merry that few of those contracted
for have been rejected. The toma-
toes have been delivered at the
cannery in unusually good condi-
ton. At one time there was 5000
baskets on the ground in front of
the plant and the capacity at the
present time is 1000 to 1900 bas-
kets per day. Up until 10 days ago
some tomatoes were received that
had not been contracted for, but
this was stopped when the glut
started. In an effort to work out
of the glut the cannery has been
operated some over time this week.

the theme next Friday night when
a student smoker will be held in

ture Of a training for boosters.

delaware College for Women
is the name. Or at least, that has
been selected by the Commission
and will probably be approved by
the Board Of Trustees. This name
was selected by the Commission at
its meeting held here on Monday.
The revised plans were gone over
and practically adopted. L. G.
Rogers was selected as the architect
to prepare definite plans and speci.
fications, carrying out the ideas OF
the Commission. AS soon as this
work is complete the Commission
will receive estimates for building
Although the Commission has spent
considerable time on the plans, the
members feel that they have now
designed a plant that will not only
afford the needs Of the new institu-
ton but be within the appropria-
ton. The tentative plans were
shown representative of The Post
and the result of their work Is
most surprising. Utility and serv-
ice are the dominating features but
in addition to this, the architecture
al lines promise to be most pleasing
The lines are simple but effective
and it is the unanimous opinion OF
the Commission that those sincere
ly interested in the new institution,
will be more than satisfied.
The Commission spent most OF
the morning on the grounds and
the positions Of the buildings have
been practically decided. ln'speak-
ing of the site, a member Of the
Commission said, "We are more
enthusiastic over the possibilities
of the site, every time we see it.
From the standpoint Of conven-
ience, and utility, it can't be excel
led, and the beauty of the setting
has not yet been realized. "

AS TO RURAL PUPILS
Local Board Of Education
Makes Statement

Inquiries have reached this office
from the rural districts relative to
the rules affecting scholars from
outside districts in attendance at
the Newark High School. Owing
to the action Of the Wilmington
Board of Education as reported In
the daily papers, misunderstand-
ing has arisen in the minds of
many.
A member of the Board of Edu-
cation when interviewed this morn
ing concerning the action Of the
Board stated that the quota appor-
toned by the county for this High
School to be paid for by the State,
has been filed. All entering in the
future shall be accepted on a free
basis, or rejected at the discretion
Of the local Board.
The Board feels inclined, wher-
ever possible, to admit applicants,
but in many cases find themselves
in a ramp for room. Those who
have entered to date will not be re-
quired to pay tuition, as provision
has. been made for those by the
State.

DELAWARE'S FOOT
BALL SEASON OPENS
Will Be Played On Frazer
Field-New Era In Ath-
letic History

Local foot ball enthusiasts are
looking forward to Saturday with
eager interest when Delaware
opens the season with Haverford.
This game is of special interest
when it is recognized that it will
be the christening game of the
Frazer Field. Coach McAvoy is
keyed up to high pitch and is work
ing hard with his squad. Haver-
ford usually plays good ball and
this year promises to be no excep-
ton. The visiting team has been
down on the seashore for week
practicing. This is Of great ad-
vantage but the home boys are ex-
pecting to give them a good game
and put one over on them.
The Athletic Association has in
vited the Chamber Of Commerce of
Wilmington to attend the game.
Also, complimentary tickets will
be given the local members of the
Tri-County base ball league and
the Newark Field Club.
1t is expected that a big crowd
of the old boys will be back and
there is every assurance of some
thing doing at Delaware on next
Saturday.
