w ident Of the Historical Society of Delaware and
his associates upon the acquisition of the lot west Of
the New Century Club in Delaware for site
for the Historical Society building. The situation
is in keeping with the dignity of the organization. 1t

Il is the plan Of the society put up building that
will cost approximately $4,000 for the housing and
proper display of the many objects of historical in
erest that in the possession of the society and
also for a meeting place for the members of the
organization In reality it will be a Museum Of State
History. In view of that fact the building project
should have the moral and material support of all
Delawareans who interested in the intelligent
and systematic preservation Of the history and tradi-
tons Of the commonwealth in which they live
the society never has had adequate, safe and suita-
bic quarters. The purchase Of the Delaware avenue
site and the friendly attitude Of the people of our
State give reasonable that in few months
the invaluable possessions of the society which, in
broad the invaluable possessions OF the
Delaware public, will be housed and displayed properly
a nre-proof building.

worth the careful attention of our school officials.
Perfect ventilation never has been attained in public
buildings, business places and dwelling houses. It is
approximated to the extent to which varying human

mits. Certainly children should have in the
schools the best possible approximation of such con-
dition in the matter of air If the defects referred

wORkING NIGHT AND Day.

Two more midnight marriages in Elkton. One cou-
pie from Philadelphia; the other from At
antic City.
The county official whose business it is to issue
marriage licenses remained up until after midnight
they might be issued legally on Sunday applica-
tions.
The preacher who had been selected to perform the
ceremony was routed out of bed shortly afterward.
He tied the nuptal knots, pocketed his fees and
turned to bed TO sleep the sleep Of the righteous.
In other words, the Elkton marriage mill is working
night and day and grinding matrimonial grst with
disgraceful persistency.
We have in our possession business card which
shows that preacher in that town who is reaplng
a rich harvest from the operations of the mill has
the decency TO omit the title REV" from the card
The Maryland Legislature has adjourned without
doing anything to break up the marriage game as il
is being played in Elkton presume the decent
people there will be compelled to continue to submit
to the humiliation of having their home town made
a national by-word.

Editorial Opinion
FOR A CLEANER LAUREL.


From the Laurel Register.
We would suggest to the Mayor
and Council that they set apart day
in the near future as Cleanup Day
for Laurel. While the town cannot
be cleaned in day concerted effort
will go far forwards making il more
healthful and attractive. The only eff
fective remedy for the fly plague is
cleanliness and if we fight filth in the
early spring during the propagating
season of the fly it will not be neces-
sary later on to fight flies. Every
fly carries on its body from 500 to
100000 disease germs, any one of
which may kill you or the baby; there
fore, kill the fly first.
On the day designated by the Mayor
and Council everybody should take
part in the work, merchants person
ally experimenting the removal of all
rubbish in the rear of the main busi-
ness section and citizens in general
seeing that cellars and outbulldings
are cleaned and whitewashed.
